RJ Barrett Questionable Again For Monday Night

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The former Knick has battled an AC joint sprain since the preseason. Fortunately, he's inching closer toward his 2024-25 debut, which may realistically happen on Monday night. Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) is doubtful, so his absence could mean an […]

Sam Hauser Questionable To Meet The Bucks

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Hauser began the 2024-25 campaign by scoring 10 points and pulling down five boards in the opening night win over the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, he's been sidelined since due to back pain. With that in mind, if Hauser misses […]

De'Andre Hunter Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Khris Middleton Remains Out On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankles) remains out for Sunday's meeting with the Brooklyn Nets. He continues to work his way back from offseason ankle surgeries. However, the veteran still isn't ready to go, and the Bucks don't plan on rushing him back. Of course, Giannis Antetokounmpo will lead the offense. But until Middleton returns […]

RJ Barrett Still Out On Saturday

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) won't suit up for Saturday's game against Minnesota. He hasn't played yet this season because of an AC joint sprain.

Cam Whitmore To Play On Friday

Houston Rockets forward Cam Whitmore (knee) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Josh Green Available On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Josh Green (Achilles) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Green appears ready to make his team debut after missing Wednesday's contest. Green could see a larger role in the rotation than normal with Brandon Miller (glute) sidelined for at least a week. The 23-year-old didn't light up the […]

RJ Barrett Out Again On Friday Night

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) won't play in Friday's meeting with Philadelphia. This will mark his second consecutive absence due to the AC joint injury sustained during the preseason. Luckily, he's been practicing of late, so it appears he's inching his way closer to a return. With Immanuel Quickley (Pelvis) also out, Scottie Barnes […]

Brandon Miller To Be Re-Evaluated In One Week

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Brandon Miller (glute) is set to miss at least a week of action. According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Miller will be re-evaluated in one week after sustaining a left glute strain. The 21-year-old was hurt in Wednesday's season opener against Houston.

Khris Middleton Remains Sidelined Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (ankle) will miss another game as he still recovers from surgery in the offseason.

While his timetable to return […]

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (back) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Bruce Brown Remains Sidelined On Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown is still working his way back from having knee surgery last year. The team hasn't given a timetable for Brown's return, but the hope is that he's back sooner rather than later. The Raptors will likely […]

RJ Barrett Doubtful For Friday Night

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) is doubtful heading into Friday's matchup with Philly.

Malik Monk Available On Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Malik Monk (hand) isn't on the injury report ahead of Thursday's season opener against the Timberwolves.

Sacramento Kings forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) will be in the lineup on Thursday versus Minnesota. DeRozan sat out Friday's practice for personal reasons but isn't listed on the injury report.

Kenyon Martin Jr. Starting In Season Opener

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. will start Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Martin is starting because Paul George (knee) is sidelined. The 23-year-old played a career-low 12.4 minutes per contest in last year's campaign, suiting up for the Clippers and 76ers across 60 regular-season games. With the start in the Sixers opener, Martin will likely play […]

Dean Wade Starting Against Toronto

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade will start in Wednesday's meeting with the Raptors. Max Strus (ankle) will be sidelined for at least four weeks, so Wade will do his best to fill the void in the lineup.
