Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (hip) isn't available for Saturday's meeting with the Cavaliers. The 21-year-old will miss his third consecutive contest, joining Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), Alec Burks (foot), and Jalen Duren (ankle) on the shelf for this one.

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas (calf) is listed as doubtful for the team's contest on Friday against the Golden State Warriors.

Chicago received goaltender Anton Khudobin and a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft for Domi and goalie prospect Dylan Wells.

Steven Stamkos Records Two Points Against Penguins
Tampa Bay Lightning center/left wing Steven Stamkos scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss against the Penguins.

Anthony Davis Consiered Probable For Friday
Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man is on track to get back on the court after sitting out of Wednesday's game. His return would shift Mo Bamba back to the bench where he won't have nearly as much upside. The […]
Meyers Leonard Gets Another 10-Day Deal
Milwaukee Bucks center Meyers Leonard has signed a second 10-day deal with the organization. The 33-year-old played 15 minutes during the blowout win over the Miami Heat.

Ivica Zubac Ruled Out For Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This is a shame after Zubac played 28 minutes in his return to the court on Tuesday. The 25-year-old continues to deal with a lingering calf issue, so the team will have him sit this game […]
Connor Wong Could Miss Extended Period Of Time
Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong (hamstring) could be looking at missing an extended period of time after suffering an injury on Thursday. The team will have Wong undergo further testing, but manager Alex Cora mentioned the injury didn't look good. There should be more information on Wong later this weekend. He was competing for […]
Ivica Zubac Uncertain For Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He missed two games last week before making his return to the court on Tuesday. Another absence would mean that Mason Plumlee would move into the starting five. He was a strong fantasy option throughout most […]
Michael Rasmussen Likely Done For The Season
Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen (knee) is likely finished for the 2022-23 campaign, according to head coach Derek Lalonde. He took a shot off his kneecap last weekend against Tampa Bay and has already missed two games because of the injury. The 23-year-old has been enjoying a decent campaign with 10 goals and 29 […]
J.T. Miller Could Be Back In Action Thursday
Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller (lower body) is regarded as a game-time decision for Thursday's contest against Minnesota. It's been some turn of events after the team ruled Miller to be week-to-week on Monday. It appeared as though Miller was dealing with something that will keep him out for multiple games, but he could now […]
Francisco Alvarez To Make Catching Debut Friday
New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez (ankle) will make his Grapefruit League catching debut in the back half of Friday's game against the Washington Nationals.
