Kawhi Leonard, John Wall Rested On Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard and point guard John Wall won't be in the lineup on Saturday against the Kings. The team starts a back-to-back set and faces a much tougher matchup on Sunday against Phoenix, so the veteran stars get the night off. Both players got off to a solid start to the […]

In the Lakers' 103-97 loss, Walker was able to add three rebounds, three assists and two steals to his scoring total.

Kawhi Leonard Will Come Off The Bench

That comes off as not too serious of an injury, but […]

Joe Harris Listed As Probable For Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Joe Harris (ankle) is now listed as probable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He should bring some much-needed three-point shooting to the team after they shot only 30.3% from deep against the New Orleans Pelicans. Last season before getting injured, Harris shot a scorching 46.6% from three. That was on […]

Deni Avdija Fine For Friday

Washington Wizards small forward Deni Avdija (ankle) managed to escape serious injury on Wednesday and is expected to play Friday night against Chicago.

Deni Avdija Avoids Serious Injury

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (ankle) is believed to have avoided serious injury. The X-rays on his ankle came back negative, so it's believed to be a sprained right ankle.

He finished with 31 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists on 12-for-25 shooting from the floor. Turnovers were the main issue for James and the rest of the Lakers. He contributed five of them to the […]

Dillon Brooks Doubtful Against The Knicks

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks (thigh) is doubtful ahead of the season opener against the Knicks. Ziaire Williams (knee) has already been ruled out, so there's a chance John Konchar could make his way into the starting line. While Konchar is a risky fantasy option, there is upside there for desperate fantasy managers.

Ziaire Williams Won't Play Against The Knicks

Memphis Grizzlies forward Ziaire Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Knicks. The 21-year-old is dealing with right knee soreness, although it's unknown if he'll be healthy enough for Friday's meeting with the Houston Rockets.

Head coach Mike Brown mentioned he wants to get the 22-year-old some practice time before getting him into real game action. That being said, KZ Okpala […]

Jae'Sean Tate Ruled Out Against Atlanta

Houston Rockets forward Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) will not suit up for the team in their opening game against the Hawks.

The 26-year-old just signed a four-year extension this past offseason. He'll continue […]

Otto Porter Jr. Out For Opening Game

Toronto Raptors forward Otto Porter Jr. (hamstring) was ruled out for their first game on Wednesday. The 29-year-old forward signed with the Raptors this past offseason after winning a championship with the Warriors.

Cameron Johnson Doesn't Sign Extension

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson was unable to come to terms on an extension with the organization. That being said, Johnson will become a restricted free agent after this season.
