Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's tilt against Denver.

Luka Doncic Returns To Action Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) will play against New Orleans on Tuesday. He returns to the lineup after missing one game. Doncic produced a rare dud in his last outing and should be amped up to get back to his best against the Pelicans. Quentin Grimes will land back on the bench with […]

Ja Morant Gets Positive Results From Imaging

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hip) has already missed the last five games due to injury and it doesn't sound like he's on the verge of returning.

Tre Mann Good To Go Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (back) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn. He's returning to the lineup after sitting out one game.

Jose Alvarado Ruled Out Ahead Of Tuesday's Game

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Tre Mann Questionable For Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The 23-year-old missed Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers as he continues to deal with a lower-back injury.

Bilal Coulibaly Absent On Monday

Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (head) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the New York Knicks. Coulibaly took a hit to the head during Sunday's game, so he's likely still feeling it on Monday. The Wizards don't play again until Friday after this game, so hopefully Coulibaly will be ready to play […]

Jaden Ivey Will Play On Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (ankle) will play during Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. As expected, Ivey is active after being listed as probable on the injury report ahead of this game. It sounds like he's dealing with a minor ankle sprain but that won't be enough to hold him out of Monday's contest. […]

Damian Lillard Returning On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (concussion) has been cleared to suit up for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. Lillard will make his return to the court after missing each of the last three games while in the league's concussion protocol.

Luka Doncic May Miss Another Game On Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 25-year-old is averaging 28.2 points, 7.8 assists, 7.8 rebounds, and 32.1% shooting from behind the arc, all down from the 2023-24 campaign. He's also been frequently mentioned on the league's official injury report nearly all season. But Doncic […]

Bradley Beal Sidelined Again On Monday With Calf Strain

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (calf) will miss a fourth straight game with a calf strain on Monday. The star shooter doesn't have a specific timetable for his return, so it's unclear how many games he'll have to miss alongside Kevin Durant (calf). As he's been nursing the calf, rookie Ryan Dunn has moved into […]

Terry Rozier Unavailable On Monday

Miami Heat point guard Terry Rozier (foot) is unavailable for Monday's game against the 76ers due to discomfort in his right foot. Since Monday's matchup is the second half of back-to-back sets, it's likely a precautionary decision to sit the 30-year-old. On the bright side, the Heat will be glad to have Jimmy Butler (ankle) […]

Miles McBride Remains Sidelined Monday Against Wizards

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (knee) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game on Monday and will watch from the sidelines as the team takes on the Washington Wizards. The fourth-year guard is dealing with knee inflammation which seems to be bad enough to cause the Knicks to take a cautious approach. […]

Jaden Ivey Probable Against Bulls

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (ankle) is listed as probable on Monday and should suit up for the third game in a row after spraining his ankle and only missing one game. He's played no more than 30 minutes in the last two contests, but the last game against the Washington Wizards happened to be […]

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) will miss his seventh game of the season, this time with an ACL sprain instead of the back issues he's been facing periodically.

Stephen Curry Could Miss Monday's Game

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Warriors are already low […]

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.
