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. He's featured in six straight games despite being on the injury report, so it should be safe to assume Indiana's star guard will be on the court Saturday. 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 […]

D'Angelo Russell Good To Go Friday

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 […]

Tyrese Maxey Ruled Out Versus Atlanta

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) won't play against the Hawks on Friday night.

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.

Pat Connaughton should remain […]

Tyrese Haliburton Cleared For Thursday

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.

Luka Doncic Available On Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. As expected, Doncic will continue to play through his broken nose.

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 […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Still Available In Trade Talks

According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, guard Spencer Dinwiddie is the "most available" player on Brooklyn's roster. The 30-year-old was traded from the Mavericks ahead of the deadline last season and is currently making the second stop of his career in Brooklyn. But Dinwiddie isn't a true point guard, something the Nets need. Additionally, the […]

Tyrese Maxey To Play On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Maxey was considered questionable earlier in the day due to an illness.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The star guard is listed as questionable earlier in the day due to back tightness.

LaMelo Ball Remains Sidelined Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will miss a seventh consecutive game on Wednesday against the Raptors.

The veteran hasn't […]
