Derrick Favors Will Sit Again Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Derrick Favors (knee) will not play Thursday night against the Denver Nuggets. Favors was seen warming up and "moved pretty well", but he was ultimately ruled out.

Karl-Anthony Towns Suspended Two Games

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (suspension) will miss the next two games after his on-court fight with Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid.

Joel Embiid Suspended Two Games

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (suspension) will miss the next two games after his altercation with Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns.

Enes Kanter Will Sit Out on Friday

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Kanter is dealing with a bruised left knee, but it doesn't seem too serious.

Yasmani Grandal Will Decline His Option

As expected, Milwaukee Brewers catcher Yasmani Grandal will decline his $16 million option for the 2020 season and take a $2.25 million buyout to become a free agent. Grandal bet on himself in 2019, and the move paid off, as he hit .246/.380/.468 with a career-high 28 long balls, 77 RBI and even five stolen […]

Daniel Theis is Probable Versus Knicks

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks.

Los Angeles Kings center Jeff Carter scored twice on Wednesday against Vancouver, but it wasn't enough in an eventual 5-3 loss.

Towns scored 13 points shooting five of seven from the floor with six rebounds. Halfway through the third quarter 76ers center Joel Embiid and KAT got into a confrontation and were both ejected. Including […]

Myles Turner Questionable To Return With Ankle Sprain

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) is questionable to return Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Turner went down in a non-contact situation, so an ankle sprain seems to be the best-case scenario right now. Domantas Sabonis will see an increase in minutes at center if Turner misses time. Another name to watch would be […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Will Play Through Eye Injury

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (eye) will play and start Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Carter woke up with an eye infection and was questionable entering the contest.

Steven Adams Ruled Out Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Adams suffered a left knee contusion against the Houston Rockets and did not return to the game. Adams is still feeling discomfort and will likely be replaced by Nerlens Noel in the starting lineup.

Kurt Suzuki Scratched From Game 7 Lineup

Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki (hip) has been scratched from the lineup for Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday. Yan Gomes will now do the catching and will hit eighth against Astros starter Zack Greinke. Suzuki had a crucial home run in the Game 2 win in Houston, but otherwise he's done nothing […]

Steven Adams is Questionable for Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Adams suffered a left knee contusion on Monday and was unable to play through it. The Thunder don't play again until Saturday, so they could rest Adams here and give him plenty of time to get […]

Daniel Theis is Available on Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed Saturday's game due to a minor ankle injury, but is fine for this one. Theis should be looking at more minutes on Wednesday with Enes Kanter (knee) unavailable. Robert Williams and Theis should split up the minutes […]

Wendell Carter Jr. is Questionable for Wednesday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (eye) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Carter's left eye is really swollen, according to head coach Jim Boylen. Luke Kornet is expected to draw the start at center, assuming Carter is unable to play. Rookie Daniel Gafford would probably jump into the rotation […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Will Make Season Debut on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) will make his team debut against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. He's been scrimmaging with the G-League team over the last week. It wouldn't be surprising to see Cauley-Stein limited in his first game back, but it'll be a boost nonetheless. Kevon Looney (hamstring) remains sidelined, so Cauley-Stein […]

Kurt Suzuki Returns To Lineup For Game 7

Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday against Astros starter Zack Greinke.
