Luka Doncic Good To Go Versus OKC
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) will play on Saturday versus OKC. The 24-year-old took an inadvertent elbow to the face a week ago, so he's been dealing with the repercussions ever since.

Tyrese Maxey Likely To Return On Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup with Washington.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, free-agent guard Spencer Dinwiddie intends to sign a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bradley Beal Listed As Probable Saturday
Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) is considered probable for Saturday's contest against Golden State.

Tyrese Haliburton Remains On Injury Report Saturday
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is once again carrying a questionable tag ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Knicks.

However, Haliburton will likely remain under a […]
Jalen Brunson Questionable For Saturday
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against Indiana. The first-year All-Star continues to deal with a right ankle sprain that kept him off the court Thursday versus Dallas. Miles McBride had the keys to the offense without Brunson. He put in a massive 45-minute shift and provided good […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) will play on Friday night versus the New Orleans Pelicans. The 27-year-old didn't suit up on Thursday against the Denver Nuggets because of left knee soreness. However, he's good to go. Russell was quiet to begin the 2023-24 campaign. But he averaged 22.7 points and shot 45.9% from […]

Dejounte Murray Questionable Against Philly
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) is questionable for Thursday's game in Philadelphia. Murray missed Wednesday's matchup versus the Boston Celtics because of lower back tightness.

Damian Lillard Won't Play On Thursday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The superstar guard will miss his second game in a row due to a left ankle sprain. His absence is going to leave the team extremely shorthanded at the guard spot on Thursday. Pat Connaughton should remain […]
Tyrese Haliburton Cleared For Thursday
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) has been cleared to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Kyrie Irving To Play Versus Knicks
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) is officially available ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will skip a seventh consecutive game on Thursday versus the Knicks. He's trying to come back from a knee issue, but it's currently unclear when Exum will be able to play again. The Australian guard has featured just twice in the lineup since Jan. 1. Exum's absence keeps Josh […]
Kyrie Irving Considered Probable Thursday
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) has been listed as probable for Thursday's battle with the Knicks.

Tyrese Haliburton Remains On Injury Report Thursday
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Golden State.

His minutes might also be on the up […]
Jalen Brunson On The Injury Report For Thursday
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's clash with Luka Doncic and the Mavericks.

However, he quickly got rid […]

But Dinwiddie isn't a true point guard, something the Nets need. Additionally, the […]
