Nemanja Bjelica Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Golden State Warriors center Nemanja Bjelica (quad) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Minnesota due to a quad contusion that he sustained during Sunday's loss to the Mavericks.

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 19 - Ben Simmons, Darius Garland, Josh Giddey, OG Anunoby, Michael Porter Jr., Chris Paul

We're now entering fantasy playoffs time for NBA basketball, so you should be double-checking things regardless. There's no room for mistakes when you're up for a 'ship.

That game […]

DeAndre Jordan Likely To Be Waived

Los Angeles Lakers center DeAndre Jordan is expected to be waived by the organization. The Lakers are reportedly planning on signing veteran guard D.J. Augustin.
