Cleveland Guardians manager Terry Francona was named the American League Manager of the Year for the third time in his career on Tuesday. He also won the award with Cleveland in 2013 and 2016.

Aleksander Barkov Records Three Points In Victory

Florida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov finished with a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 5-2 victory against the Capitals. The 27-year-old opened the scoring with his unassisted goal on a takeaway right through the middle of the ice in the first period, while he picked up a pair of assists on two late goals by […]

John Tavares Reaches Milestone In Maple Leafs Victory

Toronto Maple Leafs center John Tavares scored his 400th career NHL goal in Tuesday's 5-2 victory against the Penguins. Tavares found the back of the net to open the scoring in the first period, and he later added an assist to give the team an early two-goal lead. The Maple Leafs captain is off to […]

Maxi Kleber Leaves Game Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (back) will not return Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Kleber had a hard fall on his back and went to the locker room, but eventually returned to the game. It seems the pain was too much as Kleber was ruled out for the rest of the game shortly after. […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Listed As Questionable Against Minnesota

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) has been listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is a new injury for Carter, and given the nature of plantar fasciitis injuries, this is something to monitor. If Carter is unable to go, Bol Bol and Mo Bamba would likely see the majority […]

Jusuf Nurkic Will Play Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (groin) will play Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs after missing three straight games. Nurkic had the usual questionable tag before the game, but he must feel good enough to get back on the court. Drew Eubanks was serviceable as the fill-in starter but loses most, if not all, […]

Nikola Jokic Has Entered Health And Safety Protocols

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (protocols) has entered the league's health and safety protocols and will not play Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Jokic must have tested positive for COVID and must test out before being able to return to the court. Players have typically tested out within five-to-seven days which would have Jokic […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Starting In Season Debut Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (foot) will play and start Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Jackson is making his season debut, but there has been no reports of a minutes restriction so far. Jackson's return will likely mean less minutes for John Konchar and Santi Aldama. However, with Desmond Bane (toe) out for […]

Bam Adebayo And Dewayne Dedmon Questionable Wednesday

The Miami Heat could be very thin in the frontcourt on Wednesday with centers Bam Adebayo (knee) and Dewayne Dedmon (foot) listed as questionable against the Toronto Raptors. With Udonis Haslem (personal) and Omer Yurtseven (ankle) out, the Heat have no true centers left on their roster if Adebayo and Dedmon are ruled out. Nikola […]

Jarrett Allen Out Wednesday With Illness

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is not a surprise as there was a previous report of Allen not traveling to Milwaukee, but that was due to an ankle injury and now he is listed with an illness. Hopefully this means the ankle injury is in […]

Jusuf Nurkic Remains Questionable Tuesday Against Spurs

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (groin) is listed as questionable to play Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Nurkic has missed three straight games with adductor soreness despite being listed as questionable for most of those contests. Drew Eubanks has been holding down the center position and would likely do the same if Nurkic […]

Isaiah Stewart To Be Re-Evaluated In 2-3 Weeks

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (toe) will be re-evaluated in two to three weeks after being diagnosed with a big-toe sprain. Stewart left and did not return to Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors after suffering the injury. Saddiq Bey was the next man up with Marvin Bagley III shifting to the center position, and […]

Jack Roslovic Scratched For Tuesday

Columbus Blue Jackets center Jack Roslovic will be a healthy scratch for Tuesday's matchup against Philadelphia. Sean Kuraly (upper body) has recovered from injury and will take his spot in the lineup. Roslovic played a big part for the Blue Jackets down the stretch last season and ended up having a solid 45-point campaign, but […]

Nicolas Claxton Will Suit Up On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (eye) was forced to exit his last game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday with an eye contusion. It seems as though he avoided any major concerns as he's now listed as available for the team's game on Tuesday night. Claxton should be back in his starting role and […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Questionable To Make Season Debut

Memphis Grizzlies center Jaren Jackson Jr. (foot) has officially been listed as questionable to make his season debut on Tuesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 23-year-old big man underwent surgery on his right foot to address a stress fracture in the offseason. After a four- to six-month recovery process, he's on the cusp […]

Willson Contreras "Not Accepting" Qualifying Offer

Catcher Willson Contreras will reportedly not accept his qualifying offer from the Chicago Cubs, according to a tweet from ESPN's Jesse Rogers on Tuesday. The veteran is coming off one of his best seasons at the plate this past year. Contreras hit .243 in 487 plate appearances in 2022 to go along with a .349 […]

Rays Showing Interest In Sean Murphy

The Tampa Bay Rays are among several teams showing interest in trading for Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy, a Gold Glove winner in 2021 with three years of control before he reaches free agency, according to sources. The Rays, as usual, are taking both buyer and seller approaches to the offseason market. The Chicago White […]

Calgary Flames center Elias Lindholm continued his recent hot streak with a three-point effort in Monday's 6-5 win over the Kings.
