Kemba Walker Misses Practice on Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (illness) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He's questionable for Friday's game after reportedly dealing with a 103-degree fever.

Luka Doncic Should Play on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (wrist, thigh) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He fell during Sunday's game and suffered minor back and wrist issues.

[…]

Jeff Teague is Doubtful for Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. There's a good chance that Teague is going to miss multiple games because of his right knee sprain. Jarrett Culver will continue to see increased playing time with the Wolves banged up. He's worth looking at as […]

For Nowell, it was the best outing of his career to this point, dropping a career-high 12 points on 4-for-11 shooting in just 16 minutes. Reid, […]

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was listed as questionable, but it appears he's feel to suit up here.

Dennis Smith Jr. is Sitting Out on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is the third game in a row that Smith has missed due to a strained oblique. The Knicks have a messy situation at guard, so Smith can be left on the waiver wire in […]

Jeff Teague is Doubtful for Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He fell on his right knee during Monday's game, but was able to play through the issue. Jarrett Culver has seen more playing time and chances with the ball lately.

Malcolm Brogdon Will Play Against Sixers

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) will return to the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
