Antetokounmpo will likely see more […]

Robert Williams III Listed As Questionable Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (injury management) is questionable to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Celtics are likely looking to manage the reps of Williams as he works his way back to game shape, but this game is not in the midst of a back-to-back set. If Williams were to sit, Blake […]

Alperen Sengun To Play On Monday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) will suit up for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The young big man missed their last game on Saturday due to lower back pain.

Joel Embiid To Play On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is available for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The superstar big man was considered questionable earlier in the day due to back soreness. It appears he's good to go and shouldn't be limited during this contest. Embiid was fantastic during their last meeting against the Pelicans. Hopefully, […]

Ryan O'Reilly Out With A Broken Foot

St. Louis Blues center Ryan O'Reilly has suffered a broken foot and will be re-evaluated in six weeks. He sustained the unfortunate injury whilst blocking a shot in Saturday's matchup against Minnesota. It's a fresh blow for O'Reilly during a miserable campaign. He exits the lineup after having a horrible run of one point in […]

Darren Helm Set For Season Debut

Colorado Avalanche forward Darren Helm (hip) will make his season debut Monday against the Golden Knights. His first appearance of the season got delayed because Helm underwent abductor surgery.

Clint Capela Ruled Out For Monday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The big man has missed seven of the last nine games while he deals with a lingering calf issue. Onyeka Okongwu has started in his place and is actually playing pretty well as the starter. He's averaging […]

Joel Embiid Questionable For Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man is dealing with lower back soreness, so this will likely be more of a game-time decision. His absence would mean more playing time for Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed.

Robert Williams III Available Against Nuggets

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) is available to play Sunday against the Denver Nuggets.
