Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley wasn't dealt at Thursday's trade deadline, a bit of a surprise after his name had surfaced in trade rumors for weeks.

Phoenix Suns point guard De'Anthony Melton will not only be out for Friday’s contest versus the Golden State Warriors, but it appears he has been jumped on the depth chart as well.

Luka Doncic Questionable To Play On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic has picked up a questionable tag for Friday’s contest against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a bruised right thigh.
