Luka Doncic Returns To Action Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) will play against New Orleans on Tuesday. He returns to the lineup after missing one game.

Ja Morant Gets Positive Results From Imaging

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hip) has already missed the last five games due to injury and it doesn't sound like he's on the verge of returning. Head coach Taylor Jenkins said on Tuesday that Morant's imaging on his hip came back positive. Despite that, Morant is still considered week-to-week, so this isn't great news […]

Tre Mann Good To Go Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (back) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn. He's returning to the lineup after sitting out one game. Mann has enjoyed a good start to the campaign, averaging 14.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in 24.7 minutes off the bench. However, he might have […]

Payton Pritchard Will Play On Tuesday

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (thumb) will play in Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 26-year-old was questionable heading into this contest because of a sprained thumb.

Jose Alvarado Ruled Out Ahead Of Tuesday's Game

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

With the Pelicans dealing with a litany of injuries, the sooner the 26-year-old can get his high-energy style back on […]

Tre Mann Questionable For Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The 23-year-old missed Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers as he continues to deal with a lower-back injury.

Payton Pritchard Questionable For Tuesday

According to Justin Turpin of WEEI.com, Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard (thumb) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Pritchard has averaged 17.3 points, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 28.8 minutes per game during his last 12 outings. He's yet to miss a contest this regular season, but if the 26-year-old cannot go, […]

Bilal Coulibaly Absent On Monday

Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (head) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the New York Knicks. Coulibaly took a hit to the head during Sunday's game, so he's likely still feeling it on Monday. The Wizards don't play again until Friday after this game, so hopefully Coulibaly will be ready to play […]

Jaden Ivey Will Play On Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (ankle) will play during Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. As expected, Ivey is active after being listed as probable on the injury report ahead of this game. It sounds like he's dealing with a minor ankle sprain but that won't be enough to hold him out of Monday's contest. […]

Damian Lillard Returning On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (concussion) has been cleared to suit up for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. Lillard will make his return to the court after missing each of the last three games while in the league's concussion protocol. His return will push Delon Wright back to the bench where he won't have […]

Luka Doncic May Miss Another Game On Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 25-year-old is averaging 28.2 points, 7.8 assists, 7.8 rebounds, and 32.1% shooting from behind the arc, all down from the 2023-24 campaign. He's also been frequently mentioned on the league's official injury report nearly all season. But Doncic […]

Bradley Beal Sidelined Again On Monday With Calf Strain

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (calf) will miss a fourth straight game with a calf strain on Monday. The star shooter doesn't have a specific timetable for his return, so it's unclear how many games he'll have to miss alongside Kevin Durant (calf). As he's been nursing the calf, rookie Ryan Dunn has moved into […]

Terry Rozier Unavailable On Monday

Miami Heat point guard Terry Rozier (foot) is unavailable for Monday's game against the 76ers due to discomfort in his right foot. Since Monday's matchup is the second half of back-to-back sets, it's likely a precautionary decision to sit the 30-year-old. On the bright side, the Heat will be glad to have Jimmy Butler (ankle) […]

Miles McBride Remains Sidelined Monday Against Wizards

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game on Monday and will watch from the sidelines as the team takes on the Washington Wizards. The fourth-year guard is dealing with knee inflammation which seems to be bad enough to cause the Knicks to take a cautious approach. […]

Jaden Ivey Probable Against Bulls

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (ankle) is listed as probable on Monday and should suit up for the third game in a row after spraining his ankle and only missing one game. He's played no more than 30 minutes in the last two contests, but the last game against the Washington Wizards happened to be […]

Tyrese Maxey Could Return Wednesday Against Grizzlies

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) has been out since November 6 when he strained his hamstring against the Los Angeles Clippers. According to Shams Charania, the star combo guard could return as early as Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. He said there was "optimism" around Maxey's return, so nothing official just yet. Fantasy managers […]

De'Anthony Melton Ruled Out Monday Versus Clippers

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) will miss his seventh game of the season, this time with an ACL sprain instead of the back issues he's been facing periodically.

The NBA season is a month long already and I hope you find your team in decent repair. The injury bug has already forced managers to fill up their IR slots in a hurry and go running to the waiver wire to find help filling out their rosters. My stance on injuries is pretty straightforward. […]

Stephen Curry Could Miss Monday's Game

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar guard is reportedly dealing with left knee inflammation, which shouldn't sideline him for long. He missed three games towards the end of October due to an ankle issue. The Warriors are already low […]

Damian Lillard Should Return On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (concussion) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets.

With him out of the rotation, Cameron Payne and Pacome Dadiet have […]

Luka Doncic Out On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) will miss Sunday's matchup against Oklahoma City. The Mavericks superstar has been dealing with a knee injury all week and will give it some rest on Sunday. Quentin Grimes will come into the starting unit as his replacement. Grimes is a good three-point shooter and amassed 15 points, […]

LaMelo Ball Questionable Versus The Cavs

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (finger) is questionable for Sunday's matchup versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 26-year-old had 26 points, nine boards, and six assists in Saturday's one-point win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Unfortunately, he was added to the injury report because of a left index finger sprain. With Miles Bridges (knee) and Tre Mann […]

Marcus Smart Doubtful On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (illness) is doubtful for Sunday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. The 30-year-old recently returned to the lineup after missing six games with a sprained ankle. However, after appearing in the Grizzlies' previous two contests, he's now expected to miss another game due to an illness. With Ja Morant (hip) out, […]

Anfernee Simons Still Under The Weather, Out On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) won't suit up for Sunday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks. He's under the weather, so he'll miss his second-consecutive contest. Without him and potentially Deandre Ayton (finger), there could be plenty of scoring opportunities up for grabs. Although Shaedon Sharpe, who had 33 points in Wednesday's win over […]

Luka Doncic Suiting Up Against Spurs

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) has been listed as active for Saturday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Doncic had been listed as probable throughout the day and is playing as expected. The 25-year-old is dealing with a knee issue but it hasn't hampered his ability to suit up as he hasn't missed […]
