D.J. Augustin is Available on Friday
Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin (knee) will be available for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Augustin has been sidelined since the middle of January and missed 15 straight games.

Elfrid Payton is Ruled Out for Friday
New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was playing very well before the All-Star break, so this hurts to lose him when he was finally performing. Dennis Smith Jr. and Frank Ntilikina will split up the minutes on Friday. Neither player is worth […]
Ben Simmons is Probable for Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He sat out of Thursday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets due to lower back tightness.

Kyrie Irving Out For Remainder Of Season
Updating a previous report, Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is receiving season-ending shoulder surgery and will miss the rest of the season.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Reggie Jackson Has Buyout Agreement With Pistons
Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson has agreed to a buyout with the organization. He reportedly is going to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers when he clears waivers.
