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.

Kemba Walker Ruled Out for Friday
Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was limited during Wednesday's practice as a precaution.

Elfrid Payton is Questionable for Friday
New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Payton is dealing with right ankle soreness, so hopefully he'll be able to suit up here. He has been the Knicks best option at point guard all season, so losing him hurts. Dennis Smith Jr. and Frank […]

Derrick Walton Jr. Signs With Pistons
Free-agent guard Derrick Walton Jr. plans to sign a 10-day deal with the Detroit Pistons.
