With Zach […]

LaMelo Ball Out Against Indy

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Indiana Pacers. He'll now miss his fifth consecutive contest and 26th game of the year.

Tyus Jones Questionable Against Phoenix

Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Phoenix.

Cade Cunningham Probable For Sunday Afternoon

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is probable heading into Sunday's meeting with Orlando. Cunningham missed eight games because of a knee injury but returned for the January 27 matchup with the Washington Wizards. Since then, he's made routine appearances on the league's injury report.

Dejounte Murray Cleared For Saturday's Game

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Tyus Jones Done For Rest Of Friday Night

Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (ankle) won't return to Friday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. He struggled before the injury and ended the night with six points off 2-for-7 shooting.

Cade Cunningham Available On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) will play during Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Cunningham will suit up after being listed as probable earlier in the day.

Coby White Questionable Against Sacramento

White has had a breakout season, averaging a career-high 19.0 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 39.1% from deep.

Jamal Murray Expected To Suit Up Against Blazers

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) has been listed as probable for the team's Friday night contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's dealing with a knee contusion that doesn't seem too serious as he hasn't missed a game since December 12. The star combo guard is tied with his career high in points per […]

Cade Cunningham Expected To Play On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
