Rajon Rondo Misses Third Straight Game Saturday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Rajon Rondo (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Pacers due to persistent lower back pain.

Philadelphia 76ers point/shooting guard Shake Milton (ankle) is not expected to suit up either Saturday versus Phoenix or Monday against Utah as he works his way through an ankle sprain.

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams will start on Friday night against the Kings.

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (shoulder) will not play on Friday night against the Kings.

Payton Pritchard Draws Starting PG Duties Friday

Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard will enter the starting five in place of Kemba Walker (rest) for Friday's contest against the Pistons.

Derrick White Will Reclaim Starting Gig Friday

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Derrick White returns to the lineup Friday against Atlanta and will get his spot in the starting five back.

Eric Gordon Returns To Starting Lineup Saturday

Houston Rockets point/shooting guard Eric Gordon has already been announced as a starter for Saturday's game versus the Knicks with Victor Oladipo (foot) unavailable.

Charlotte Hornets point/shooting guard Devonte' Graham (groin) has been given the green light to return to action for Friday's contest against the Timberwolves.

Kemba Walker Resting Versus Pistons

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The organization continues to rest the veteran guard during back-to-back sets.

Evan Fournier, Cole Anthony Questionable On Friday

Orlando Magic guards Evan Fournier (back) and Cole Anthony (shoulder) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This isn't shocking news since both players were banged up heading into the first game of this back-to-back set. Orlando is already without Frank Mason III (groin), so they could really be shorthanded for […]

Michael Carter-Williams Removed From Injury Report

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is great timing with both Cole Anthony (shoulder) and Evan Fournier (back) questionable for this contest.
