Bruno Fernando Misses Saturday's Contest

Houston Rockets center Bruno Fernando (knee) won't be available for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.

Nikola Jokic Tagged As Probable For Friday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hand) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The 27-year-old is dealing with a minor finger sprain, so he should be able to play through it without any issues. Jokic looked strong in the season opener with 27 points in 33 minutes of action. Possibly, […]

Colorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog has undergone arthroscopic knee surgery and won't be able to play for 12 weeks.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) is expected to miss at least one week of action after suffering a very unfortunate injury.
