Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, and three steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's win over the Heat.

Lou Williams, Patrick Beverley Questionable For Friday
Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams (hip) and point guard Patrick Beverley (personal) have both been listed as questionable to suit up Friday versus the Kings.

Jamal Murray Battles Elbow Ailment Entering Thursday
Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (elbow) has been cleared to suit up Thursday against the Warriors, but head coach Michael Malone admitted that Murray has been bothered recently by a right elbow issue.

John Wall Ruled Out For Thursday’s Game
Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) will be absent from Thursday's contest versus the Spurs due to a sore left knee.

Wizards-Pistons Contest Set For Friday Postponed
The Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons will not face off Friday night as previously scheduled due to the league's COVID-19 protocols.

Derrick Rose Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest
Detroit Pistons point/shooting guard Derrick Rose (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks due to persistent knee issues.

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dante Exum (calf) have been traded to the Houston Rockets in a massive blockbuster deal.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Comes Close To Double-Double
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was very close to his second double-double of the season on Tuesday, going for 20 points and nine rebounds in a 120-112 loss to San Antonio. He disappointed in other areas, adding only two assists, but Gilgeous-Alexander's shooting was very good in the contest as he finished 7-for-10 from […]
Donovan Mitchell Drops Game-High 27 Points In Win
Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell led all scorers during Tuesday's victory over Cleveland with 27 points on 9-for-15 shooting, including going 5-for-7 from behind the arc.
