Luke Kennard Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest
LA Clippers shooting guard/small forward Luke Kennard (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Minnesota due to a sore right hamstring.

Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon Questionable To Play Sunday
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) and small/power forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) have picked up questionable designations for Sunday's contest vs. the Lakers. The Nuggets will need a victory and a Jazz loss to move up to the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference, but with the two teams playing simultaneously Sunday, it remains […]
Marcus Morris Sr., Norman Powell Will Sit Out Sunday’s Contest
LA Clippers small/power forward Marcus Morris Sr. (rest) and shooting guard Norman Powell (rest) will be held out of Sunday's regular-season finale vs. Oklahoma City.

Drew Eubanks, CJ Elleby Questionable For Sunday’s Game
Portland Trail Blazers center Drew Eubanks (wrist) and small/power forward CJ Elleby (illness) have been tagged as questionable to suit up for Sunday's contest vs. Utah.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton Doubtful For Sunday
Milwaukee Bucks power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and small forward Khris Middleton (wrist) have been deemed doubtful to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale vs. Cleveland.

OG Anunoby Won't Play On Friday
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He'll sit out another game here due to a quad contusion.

Kawhi Leonard To Miss Final Two Games
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been ruled out for the final two games of the regular season. Although, his postseason status is still to be determined. However, it's uncertain if the Clippers will get that far as they must beat the Minnesota Timberwolves before advancing. Leonard hasn't done individual workouts or 3-on-3 […]
Wenyen Gabriel Signs New Deal With Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers forward Wenyen Gabriel has signed a new contract with the organization. He'll sign a two-year deal with a team option, which is great for him after only appearing in 17 games.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Earns Questionable Tag For Friday
Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) has popped back up on the injury report, earning a questionable designation for Friday's contest vs. Miami due to a sore right knee.

Gordon Hayward Will Miss Friday’s Game
Charlotte Hornets small/power forward Gordon Hayward (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's contest vs. Chicago as he continues to battle a sore left foot. Hayward has played all of 17 minutes since Feb. 7, with his absence paving the way for P.J. Washington to remain a staple of the starting five. The Hornets' offense […]
Talen Horton-Tucker Erupts For 40-Point Performance
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Talen Horton-Tucker served as the focal point of the team's offense during Thursday's loss to Golden State and wound up dropping the first 40-point outing of his career.

Royce O'Neale Removed From Injury Report
Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (thumb) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was held out of Wednesday's game due to right thumb soreness. However, it sounds like O'Neale is feeling good enough to suit up on Friday. His return should mean Danuel House Jr. should […]
Dillon Brooks To Return On Thursday
Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks (hip) will return to the starting five for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He'll make his return to the court after missing one game due to hip soreness. Ziaire Williams was starting in his place, but should head to the second unit on Thursday. He won't have much streaming […]
P.J. Tucker To Miss Final Two Regular Season Games
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) was diagnosed with a calf strain after undergoing an MRI. He is set to be re-evaluated in a week. This rules him out for the remainder of the regular season. The 36-year-old played in 71 games this season and started in 70 of them. He was a big factor […]
Maxi Kleber Questionable Versus Blazers On Friday
Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (ankle) has been tagged with a questionable designation ahead of Friday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 6'10" forward has missed each of the team's last two games with a sore right ankle. His absence has resulted in starting forward Dorian Finney-Smith taking on a heavier workload. DFS […]
LeBron James, Anthony Davis Out Thursday Versus Warriors
Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (foot) have both been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Golden State Warriors. Point guard Russell Westbrook (shoulder) has been ruled out as well. The Lakers have been eliminated from postseason contention, so there's a good chance we've seen the last […]
Brandon Ingram Doubtful For Thursday Against Portland
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Thursday night's tilt against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 24-year-old is dealing with right hamstring tightness. He's played in each of his team's three games so far this month, but his shooting has been off over his last two games. He went […]
Jayson Tatum, Al Horford Resting Thursday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) and center Al Horford (back) are both getting the day off on Thursday as the team takes on the Milwaukee Bucks.

OG Anunoby Questionable For Thursday Versus 76ers
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (quad) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 24-year-old has missed two straight games due to a right quadriceps contusion.

Franz Wagner To Be Held Out On Thursday
Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will not be suiting up for Thursday night's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. The rookie suffered a right ankle sprain in Tuesday's game.

Gordon Hayward Doubtful For Thursday Versus Magic
Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward (foot) is listed as doubtful ahead of Thursday night's game against the Orlando Magic. The veteran is dealing with left foot soreness. He was out of action for nearly two months due to a left ankle sprain, but returned to the court this past Saturday. That's been the only […]
Devin Vassell Likely To Play On Thursday
San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (Achilles) is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Spurs will need extra help with Dejounte Murray (illness) already ruled out for this game. Vassell has been providing eighth-round value over the last month. He has a good chance of putting together a big […]
