Anfernee Simons Enters COVID-19 Protocols
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons has entered the league's health and safety protocols. At first glance, the loss of Simons might not seem too significant.

Malcolm Brogdon Lands In COVID-19 Protocols
Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols. He can't seem to catch a break since he was already dealing with an Achilles injury.

Frank Jackson Out At Least One Week
Detroit Pistons guard Frank Jackson (ankle) was forced out of action early during Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks.

Isaiah Thomas Available On Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Isaiah Thomas is available for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was just signed to a 10-day deal after Brandon Knight went into protocols earlier on Wednesday.

Frank Jackson Exits Early On Wednesday
Detroit Pistons guard Frank Jackson (ankle) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He appeared to have suffered a right ankle injury during the second quarter.

Davion Mitchell Clears COVID-19 Protocols
Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell has cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Both Mitchell and Alex Len will be available for this contest. However, the majority of the Kings roster is healthy, which hurts the value of these two players.
