Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin) will suit up against Detroit on Thursday.

Malik Monk On Track To Return Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Malik Monk (groin) will likely return to the lineup on Thursday against Houston, as the team lists him as probable for the contest.

Tyrese Haliburton Questionable Thursday

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin) is questionable to play in Thursday's matchup against Detroit.

Gary Trent Jr. Misses Third Consecutive Game

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (hip) will be inactive against Orlando on Wednesday. This will mark his third consecutive absence.

The 28-year-old […]

Lonzo Ball Inactive For Wednesday Night Matchup Against Hawks

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (calf) will return to action on Wednesday against Atlanta, but he will have a minutes limit.

He has notched 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, […]

Jalen Brunson Available On Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (shoulder) will play on Wednesday against the 76ers. The 28-year-old injured his shoulder in Sunday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
