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.

The 26-year-old had 26 points, nine boards, and six assists in Saturday's one-point win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

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.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) has been listed as active for Saturday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Jose Alvarado Still Out On Saturday Night

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (hamstring) remains out heading into Saturday's meeting with the visiting Los Angeles Lakers.

Jrue Holiday Uncertain For Saturday's Game Against The Raptors

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (knee) is questionable for Saturday's showdown with the Toronto Raptors. The veteran isn't as productive as when he was a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. However, he's still averaging 12.8 points, 4.0 assists, and 3.9 rebounds. He's also still a sound defender. But if his left knee tendinopathy keeps him […]

Kyrie Irving Off The Injury Report

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Saturday's game versus the San Antonio Spurs.

As a result, Quentin Grimes entered the starting lineup and finished with 15 points, five assists, and one […]

Damian Lillard Sidelined Again On Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (concussion) won't play on Saturday afternoon against the Charlotte Hornets.
