Anthony Davis Downgraded, Unlikely To Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful and is unlikely to suit up against Indiana.

Fortunately, LeBron James (abdomen, suspension) is available after not playing on Tuesday against the Knicks […]

Brayden Schenn Will Be Back In Action On Wednesday

St. Louis Blues forward Brayden Schenn will be back in the lineup for Wednesday's clash with Detroit. He's spent nine games on the sidelines with an upper-body injury.

Aliaksei Protas Gets A Look On The First Line

Washington Capitals forward Aliaksei Protas will have a special night on Wednesday against Montreal, joining Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov on the first line. This is a major opportunity for the young Belarusian, who's been sparingly used so far this season. The 20-year-old has picked up one assist in his first eight career appearances. Tom […]

Derick Brassard Injured Early On Tuesday Night

Philadelphia Flyers forward Derick Brassard lasted for just four shifts on Tuesday against Tampa, exiting a 4-0 loss with a lower-body injury.

Adam Henrique Sustains An Upper-Body Injury

Anaheim Ducks forward Adam Henrique exited Monday's 3-2 loss to Nashville early after sustaining an upper-body injury. He logged only 6:20 of action and wasn't seen after the first period.
