Cade Cunningham Remains Sidelined On Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) will officially miss his fourth consecutive game due to this shin issue.

Kyrie Irving Could Be Back On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (suspension) has a chance of returning on Sunday versus the visiting Grizzlies, according to ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) finished with 26 points during Wednesday's loss to the Pacers. Ball had a fantastic night, going 5-for-8 from deep while adding six assists and two steals.

Ish Smith Remains Out On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Ish Smith (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. This shouldn't come as a surprise considering Smith hasn't played in two weeks.

Jrue Holiday Will Remain Out On Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) won't be making his return just yet.

Derrick White Starting Against Atlanta

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White will start on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Marcus Smart (ankle) won't play, so White will fill the void in the lineup.

Bones Hyland Upgraded To Questionable Against Knicks

Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland (health and safety protocols) was listed as doubtful earlier on Wednesday.

Bradley Beal Back In The Starting Lineup Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal is going to be back on the court and back in the starting lineup on Wednesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Marcus Smart Unavailable Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) won't be in the lineup Wednesday versus Atlanta. The defensive specialist was first considered probable for the contest, but he sadly isn't healthy enough to play due to inflammation in his right ankle. With Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) also remaining out, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard are set to grab […]

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is listed as doubtful to play Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers.

Tre Jones Available To Play Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (illness) will play Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Jones was questionable heading into the contest after missing Monday's game with a stomach illness.
