Clint Capela Will Remain On A Minutes Limit Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) will continue to have his minutes monitored on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks.

Ivica Zubac Questionable Wednesday Against Utah

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (knee) is listed as questionable Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Zubac was able to play 35 minutes in Tuesday's loss but may have picked up the injury at some point or the Clippers are thinking about giving him some rest. If Zubac can't go, Moses Brown figures to see […]

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (groin) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He only played five minutes before apparently aggravating his groin injury.

Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert Available On Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) and center Rudy Gobert (groin) are available for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Both players have been dealing with lingering injuries, but they appear to be healthy enough to suit up for this game. Edwards continues to play through a hip issue, so he could be limited if […]

Dylan Strome Returns On First Line

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) is officially available for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The big man is set to return after a 10-game absence due to a right calf issue.
