Tyrese Haliburton Remains On Injury Report Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Golden State. He's played in five straight games since returning to the lineup, despite carrying the questionable tag, so it should be safe to assume Haliburton will play versus Stephen Curry & Co. His minutes might also be on the up […]

Jalen Brunson On The Injury Report For Thursday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's clash with Luka Doncic and the Mavericks.

However, he quickly got rid […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Still Available In Trade Talks

According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, guard Spencer Dinwiddie is the "most available" player on Brooklyn's roster. The 30-year-old was traded from the Mavericks ahead of the deadline last season and is currently making the second stop of his career in Brooklyn. But Dinwiddie isn't a true point guard, something the Nets need. Additionally, the […]

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The star guard is listed as questionable earlier in the day due to back tightness.

The veteran hasn't […]

Gary Trent Jr. Listed As Probable Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (back) is considered probable for Wednesday's matchup against Charlotte. Trent Jr. couldn't complete Monday's contest against New Orleans due to a back issue, settling for only 15 minutes of action, but it looks like he will be good to go for Wednesday.

Luka Doncic To Play On Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Fred Vanvleet To Miss Some Time

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's being reported that Vanvleet could be sidelined for roughly a week due to this issue.

Derrick Rose Questionable To Face Knicks On Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Derrick Rose (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks.

Tyrese Haliburton Listed As Questionable Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is considered questionable for Tuesday's clash with Houston. Despite returning to the court, Haliburton has remained on the injury report, but he's featured in four straight games and will likely play on Tuesday as well. However, it looks like it may take a while until Haliburton starts playing his […]

Coby White Expected To Play On Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) is considered probable to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday. The 23-year-old has become one of the key pieces to the Bulls' offensive success as he revived his career with the best season he's posted yet. White averages 19.2 points, 5.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 2.8 made threes, and […]

Nets Listening To Offers For Spencer Dinwiddie

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie has fallen out of any future plans with the team it seems as Adrian Wojnarowski reports that they're listening to offers for him, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Royce O'Neale. The 30-year-old point guard hasn't been able to find an offensive rhythm with the Nets yet while he shoots sub-40 percent right […]

Damian Lillard Questionable For Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The superstar guard was also tagged as questionable before Sunday's game.

Fred VanVleet Dealing With An Injury

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (groin) won't play on Tuesday versus the Indiana Pacers. The former Raptor has averaged 16.5 points, 8.2 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 blocks. But he's now battling a strained left groin, which isn't a good scenario for Houston, a team that hasn't been consistent all year. VanVleet may miss more […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Probable For Monday's Game

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (foot) looks set to rejoin the action Monday versus Golden State.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) won't play on Monday against Golden State. He has just returned from a lengthy absence, and the team is closely monitoring Simmons' workload.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope To Play On Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

There is no reason to believe that the finger issue […]
