Dillon Brooks Out For Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

OG Anunoby Upgraded To Questionable For Sunday
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (hip) has been upgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Danny Green (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Golden State Warriors forward Otto Porter Jr. (knee) isn't available for the meeting against Detroit.

Although Porter hasn't done […]
Kevin Durant Ruled Out Against Magic
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic.
