Mike Conley is Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Shelvin Mack would be in line to draw the start […]

Kyrie Irving Will Play on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is "okay" and will play in Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards, according to Jay King.

Tyler Johnson is Available on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Johnson missed one game due to a hip issue, but appears fine to play on Wednesday.

Goran Dragic Ruled Out on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Dragic just returned from an eight game absence, but apparently he's not ready yet.

Mike Conley Earns Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley has been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Lou Williams is Questionable on Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Williams left Monday's game due to a sore right hamstring and was unable to return. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should get more involved if Williams is unable to play. However, the Clippers will probably use a committee approach to fill the […]

Jamal Crawford is Questionable for Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Jamal Crawford (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This is the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Suns won't have a shootaround on Tuesday. Josh Jackson and Troy Daniels will see increased playing time, assuming Crawford sits out. Jackson is looking like a […]

John Wall is Uncertain for Wednesday

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall (heel) will likely be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Austin Rivers and Tomas Satoransky will continue seeing increased playing time until Wall […]

Kyrie Irving is Expected to Play on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report and is expected to play on Wednesday versus the Washington Wizards.

Victor Oladipo Practices on Tuesday

Oladipo was reportedly able to go through 4-on-4 and 5-on-5 work, so it appears he's heading in the right direction.
