Devin Booker Unlikely To Play On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (calf) is expected to miss another game on Wednesday against the Bulls. The 27-year-old superstar has featured just twice for the team so far this season, and Booker looked fantastic in these games, scoring 31.5 points while collecting 7.5 rebounds and 10.5 assists. It's unfortunate that health has let him […]

Bradley Beal Could Be Ready For Suns Debut On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) looks set to make his team debut this week, with The Athletic's Shams Charania suggesting that he might be ready to play on Wednesday against Chicago or on Friday versus the Lakers.

James Harden Logs 31 Minutes In Debut

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden finished with 17 points and six rebounds in Monday's loss to the Knicks. The multi-time All-Star logged 31 minutes, going 6-for-9 from the field and 2-for-4 from behind the arc.

Jamal Murray Likely To Miss Multiple Games

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. However, the 26-year-old could be looking at missing more than just one contest. Nuggets' head coach Mike Malone said that Murray's injury is not a one or two game issue. That means, Murray is likely to […]

Reggie Jackson Starting On Monday

Denver Nuggets guard Reggie Jackson will shift into the starting five for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This isn't too shocking of news considering Jamal Murray (hamstring) is expected to miss some time. Jackson was the next man in line and should draw plenty of starts going forward. The 33-year-old should see a […]

James Harden On Minutes Restriction In Clippers Debut

New Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (conditioning) is expected to have a minutes restriction in his Clipper debut against the Knicks on Monday, as confirmed by coach Ty Lue. The former MVP will be in the starting lineup but is unlikely to shoulder a heavy workload as the team focuses on getting him up […]

Luka Doncic Good To Go On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quad) was originally listed as questionable but he has since been upgraded as head coach Jason Kidd said that the MVP candidate will be playing.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Now Available On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was upgraded to questionable earlier after shootaround and now he's been upgraded to available for their game against Atlanta Hawks.

Jaden Ivey Ruled Out On Monday Night

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) has been ruled out on Monday after head coach Monty Williams said that the illness will keep him out of their contest against the Detroit Pistons.

Gary Harris Set To Miss Another Game With Groin Strain

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (groin) has been ruled out of the team's game against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. The 29-year-old is still dealing with a right groin strain that has forced him to miss one other game so far. He's only seen 20 or more minutes in a game one time this season, […]

The former MVP has yet to play a game this season, so it will be […]

Ben Simmons Off The Injury Report

Brooklyn Nets utility man Ben Simmons (back) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 2016 No. 1 overall pick had nine boards, eight points, and six assists in 33 minutes on Friday night versus the Chicago Bulls. However, considering he had back surgery in the offseason, he […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Out Again On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) won't play in Monday's clash with the Atlanta Hawks. The 25-year-old hyperextended his knee during Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans. As a result, he missed the in-season tournament game versus the Golden State Warriors on Friday night, with Cason Wallace taking his spot in the rotation. The rookie […]

Jamal Murray Sidelined Against New Orleans

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) won't play in Monday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 26-year-old injured his hamstring during Sunday's win over the Chicago Bulls, limiting him to just two points in 10 minutes. As a result, Reggie Jackson received some additional work, logging 25 minutes and finishing with 16 points while […]

Markelle Fultz Could Miss Another Game

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The 25-year-old has sat out the last two games because of left knee swelling.

Alec Burks Still Out On Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (forearm) won't play against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. The 32-year-old veteran has had a fantastic season, averaging 15.0 points while shooting 53.8% from behind the arc. Unfortunately, he's been limited to just four games due to a forearm strain, so he may also miss Monday's clash with the Golden […]

Jaden Ivey Under The Weather, Out On Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) is out for Sunday's meeting with the Suns. The 21-year-old hasn't played the best this season, averaging 11.8 points, a significant decrease from the 2022-23 campaign. Even worse, he hasn't started a game this year. With Ivey battling an unknown illness, it's anyone's guess if he'll be back for […]

Bradley Beal Won't Return On Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) remains out ahead of Sunday's meeting with Detroit. The former Wizard hasn't played all season because of back spasms, so he has yet to make his official debut with his new squad. It's been a rough start to the 2023-24 campaign for Phoenix, a team that could be without […]

Devin Booker Now Dealing With A Calf Issue

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle, calf) won't play in Sunday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons. The 27-year-old played in the opener against the Golden State Warriors. However, he was sidelined for over a week due to an ankle issue before returning for Thursday's loss to San Antonio. Unfortunately, Booker suffered another injury in that […]
