Stephen Curry Could Miss Monday's Game

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) won't suit up for Sunday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks. He's under the weather, so he'll miss his second-consecutive contest.

Jrue Holiday Uncertain For Saturday's Game Against The Raptors

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (knee) is questionable for Saturday's showdown with the Toronto Raptors. The veteran isn't as productive as when he was a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. However, he's still averaging 12.8 points, 4.0 assists, and 3.9 rebounds. He's also still a sound defender. But if his left knee tendinopathy keeps him […]

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Saturday's game versus the San Antonio Spurs.

As a result, Quentin Grimes entered the starting lineup and finished with 15 points, five assists, and one […]

Jalen Brunson Expected To Suit Up Versus Brooklyn

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is probable for Friday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He tweaked his ankle in Tuesday's meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers.
