Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's clash against the Wizards.

Although Jones could have a more effective outing against […]

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Chicago. Bamba suffered a bruised left hip in the first quarter of Monday night's game against San Antonio.

Nico Hischier In, Pavel Zacha Out For Devils On Tuesday

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier (sinus fracture) will rejoin the lineup in Tuesday's matchup against the Rangers, but the team will be without Pavel Zacha (undisclosed).

Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable After Practicing Fully

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Mercedes will eventually regress with a […]

J.T. Realmuto To Sit Out First Game Of Doubleheader

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto will sit out the first game of his team's doubleheader against the Mets on Tuesday.

J.T. Realmuto Remains The Best Catcher In Baseball
