Mike Conley Misses Saturday's Action

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (finger) will not suit up for Saturday's clash against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran will be sidelined with a finger injury after the team initially listed him as questionable for the contest.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) won't suit up for Saturday's showdown with the Knicks. The veteran will now miss a second-straight game because of right shoulder impingement, an issue he's battled for nearly the entire 2024-25 campaign.

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Mavericks.

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) will not suit up for Friday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Damian Lillard Active Against Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (groin) will be in the lineup for Friday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. A groin issue keeps Lillard on the injury report, but the Bucks have upgraded him to available.

LaMelo Ball Returns To Hornets Lineup

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will return to the court on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. Charlotte's star guard is back after missing five games with a left ankle sprain.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. won't make his official debut for his new club on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. Porter was dealt from the Clippers on Thursday to the Bucks.

Trae Young Listed As Probable On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) seems likely to suit up on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks after the team listed him as probable. He'll be called upon for even more scoring to take down the Bucks if none of their new trade assets are ready in time. Young posted a big-time double-double in their […]

Cade Cunningham May Miss Friday's Game Against 76ers

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) is listed as questionable for the contest against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday due to an ankle sprain.

LaMelo Ball Tagged As Questionable Against Spurs

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) resumed on-court activities earlier in the week and has since been listed as questionable for Friday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs.
