Steven Adams Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams has picked up a questionable designation for Friday’s contest versus the Atlanta Hawks due to an ankle sprain.

Marvin Bagley Unlikely To Take Floor Friday

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Marvin Bagley is not expected to return to action for Friday’s game against the Chicago Bulls due to foot soreness.

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis will be in action Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets after having previously picked up a questionable designation due to his persistent glute injury.

Enes Kanter is Ruled Out for Friday

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Kanter is dealing with a right hip contusion, but hopefully this won't sideline him for long.
