LaMelo Ball Leaves With Ankle Sprain On Sunday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) left Sunday night's game against the Orlando Magic in the second quarter due to a right ankle sprain and the team said that he will not return.

Darius Garland Will Suit Up On Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (neck) was originally listed as questionable when he left their last game on Saturday due to a neck issue.

Terry Rozier Expected To Return On Sunday

However, with Miles Bridges, LaMelo Ball, and […]

Jordan Poole Ruled Out Late On Saturday Night

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (ankle) was a late scratch for Saturday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Fantasy managers were surprised to see him listed as out right around lock time.

Darius Garland Doesn't Return Against The Lakers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (neck) finished Saturday's matchup against the Lakers with six points, three assists, and one steal.

Dru Smith Done For The Year

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. An MRI confirmed a third-degree ACL sprain for the 25-year-old, which was enough to keep him on the shelf. Smith had played sparingly throughout the season, averaging 4.3 points and 1.0 steals in nine games, so his absence isn't expected to […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Remains Out On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) will remain out for Saturday's meeting with the Miami Heat. He's day-to-day, so it appears he's nearing a return. But in the meantime, the 2017 No. 9 overall pick will miss a third consecutive contest. With Brooklyn still without Ben Simmons (back) and Cam Thomas (ankle) as well, […]

Donovan Mitchell May Miss Another Game On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Lakers. He's missed the previous four games because of a hamstring strain, so the team isn't taking any chances with the superstar. That said, Darius Garland, averaging 25 points, five assists, and three rebounds without Mitchell this season, would remain a […]

Donovan Mitchell May Return On Saturday Versus Lakers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is officially considered questionable for the team's Saturday night game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Jrue Holiday Sidelined On Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) won't play in Friday's matinee against Orlando. Holiday had been listed as probable as of Thursday night because of a sprained right ankle.

Gary Payton II Probable To Return On Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (foot) has missed the last three games with a left foot strain but is now listed as probable to return on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. Payton's return will probably mean that Moses Moody and Cory Joseph take a hit to their fantasy relevance, while Brandin Podziemski […]

Andrew Nembhard Uncertain Against Pistons

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) continues to deal with back spasms, which have caused him to miss the last three consecutive games. Back problems are one of the hardest injuries to predict in terms of a return timetable. The good thing is that he hasn't been ruled out ahead of time and he remains […]

Jamal Murray To Sit Out On Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Trae Young Pours In Season-High 43 Points Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young scored a season-high 43 points as the team ended a three-game slide with a 147-145 overtime victory against the Nets.
