Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) is ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Oubre will miss his second consecutive contest due to a sprained left hand.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Eric Gordon (face) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Even better, Immanuel Quickley (elbow) will return from a […]

Dalen Terry Cleared To Play Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Dalen Terry (ankle) will remain in the lineup on Wednesday against Washington.

Before his […]

Torrey Craig Will Not Play On Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (lower leg) has been ruled out for Wednesday's meeting with Washington. Chicago has downgraded him from doubtful to out. This is unfortunate for the veteran, who just put together his best performance of the season with 18 points on Monday versus Charlotte. However, Craig reached the 20-minute mark for only […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Questionable On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings due to a left-hand sprain.

Jalen Johnson Picks Up A Questionable Tag

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has been added to the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Denver. He's been labeled as questionable due to right shoulder soreness.
