Scoot Henderson To Miss More Time

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (ankle) will likely miss at least a few more weeks. The 2023 No. 3 overall pick suffered a bone bruise in his right ankle in a meeting with the Detroit Pistons on November 1, so he hit the injured list after appearing in just five games. Unfortunately, the Blazers' […]

Damian Lillard Questionable Against The Magic

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) may miss Saturday's game in Orlando. The 33-year-old didn't play in Thursday's loss to the Indiana Pacers because of a calf strain. As a result, Cameron Payne entered the starting lineup, finishing with seven points, five assists, four boards, and one block. If Lillard sits again, Payne is worth […]

Draymond Green, Gary Payton II Both Available For Saturday's Game

Ben Simmons Out Again On Friday Versus Celtics

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (hip) will miss his second consecutive game due to hip soreness. The Nets will be without Nicolas Claxton (ankle), Cam Thomas (ankle), and now Simmons.

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) has been ruled out of the team's in-season tournament game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night.

De'Aaron Fox To Sit Out Friday

It's possible that […]

Markelle Fultz Questionable For Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Atlanta. He's missed three games but got through practice on Wednesday, which is a good sign.

Malcolm Brogdon Suffers New Injury Blow

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon picked up another injury Wednesday night against Sacramento, exiting the game with a left hamstring strain.

Devin Booker Unlikely To Play On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (calf) is expected to miss another game on Wednesday against the Bulls. The 27-year-old superstar has featured just twice for the team so far this season, and Booker looked fantastic in these games, scoring 31.5 points while collecting 7.5 rebounds and 10.5 assists. It's unfortunate that health has let him […]

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) looks set to make his team debut this week, with The Athletic's Shams Charania suggesting that he might be ready to play on Wednesday against Chicago or on Friday versus the Lakers.

However, the 26-year-old could be looking at missing more than just one contest. Nuggets' head coach Mike Malone said that Murray's injury is not a one or two game issue. That means, Murray is likely to […]

Reggie Jackson Starting On Monday

Denver Nuggets guard Reggie Jackson will shift into the starting five for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This isn't too shocking of news considering Jamal Murray (hamstring) is expected to miss some time. Jackson was the next man in line and should draw plenty of starts going forward. The 33-year-old should see a […]

James Harden On Minutes Restriction In Clippers Debut

New Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (conditioning) is expected to have a minutes restriction in his Clipper debut against the Knicks on Monday, as confirmed by coach Ty Lue.
