John Wall Receives Green Light To Play Tuesday

Ben Simmons Expected To Play Versus Bucks
Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Collin Sexton, Darius Garland Remain Out
Cleveland Cavaliers guards Collin Sexton (ankle) and Darius Garland (shoulder) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Sexton will hopefully be back on the court soon, but Garland has missed six straight games without any signs of him ramping up his activities.

Cleveland Scratches Collin Sexton At Tip-Off Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (ankle) was a literal last-second scratch Monday, being announced as the starter and getting set to take the floor before the team decided not to play him versus Memphis.

Yogi Ferrell Joins Cavs
Free-agent guard Yogi Ferrell has reportedly signed a 10-day contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The organization will use their hardship exception to bring in Ferrell. This team has been destroyed by injuries, so Ferrell will immediately see significant playing time. He could join the rotation as early as Monday's contest. There's not a ton of […]
Russell Westbrook Likely Out A Week
Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (quad) is expected to miss at least a week of action. This is a big blow to the Wizards who just lost Thomas Bryant (knee) to a season-ending injury. Bradley Beal (rest) is expected to be ready for Monday's contest, so he'll see his usage skyrocket. Deni Avdija could end […]
John Wall Sits Out Of Practice
Houston Rockets guard John Wall (head) was unable to practice on Monday. He sat out with a migraine and is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest. This seems like a minor issue, so most likely Wall will play in this game. Otherwise, James Harden and Eric Gordon would see more chances with the ball.

Richaun Holmes And Buddy Hield Questionable For Monday
Sacramento Kings forward/center Richaun Holmes (ankle) and guard Buddy Hield (ankle) are both questionable Monday against the Indiana Pacers.
