The 29-year-old […]

Tage Thompson Ready To Go Saturday

Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson (upper body) is good to go for Saturday's game against Calgary. He was hurt in a contest versus Carolina right before the All-Star break started and Buffalo had its bye week, and the long break has helped Thompson to get back healthy. The 25-year-old has had an amazing season with […]

Jonathan Toews Remains Out

Chicago Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews (illness) will miss a second consecutive game Friday versus Arizona and won't be available for Saturday's clash with Winnipeg either.

The Magic traded center Mo Bamba to the Lakers on Thursday in exchange for Patrick Beverley. Bamba hasn't been a consistent contributor throughout his five seasons of service, averaging 7.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks. However, the 24-year-old should be the clear-cut No. 2 option behind Anthony Davis after Thomas Bryant was sent to […]

Rudy Gobert Uncertain For Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (groin) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. His absence would likely mean Naz Reid would move into the starting five. However, Reid hasn't been too sharp over the last few games, but is averaging 9.5 points and five rebounds in that span. Taurean Prince has […]

Day'Ron Sharpe Available On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (foot) is available for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This is good news for the Nets with Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) sitting out this contest.

Nicolas Claxton To Miss Thursday's Game

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It sounds like the Nets aren't going to push Claxton who is dealing with hamstring soreness. Day'Ron Sharpe and Ben Simmons should both see extended playing time with Claxton on the sideline. Neither player has great streaming appeal, […]

New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes (upper body) is set for a spell on the sidelines, with the team listing him as week-to-week.
