LeBron James To Miss More Time
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will miss Thursday and Friday's games against the Clippers and Trail Blazers.

Danuel House Jr. Unlikely To Suit Up Wednesday
Houston Rockets small/power forward Danuel House Jr. (ankle) has earned a doubtful designation ahead of Wednesday's game versus Philadelphia due to a sore right ankle.

P.J. Dozier Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Contest
Denver Nuggets shooting guard/small forward P.J. Dozier (adductor) will miss Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to a strained right adductor. Dozier had been elevated to the starting five for each of Denver's past six contests, in which he averaged 11.5 points and 3.3 rebounds over 28.2 minutes per outing. His absence on the wing […]
Norman Powell Might Sit Versus Lakers
Toronto Raptors forward Norman Powell (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is dealing with right knee patellar tendinopathy, so basically the best thing for Powell is to rest. The Blazers do need to win for seeding purposes, so there is incentive to get him out on the […]
Michael Porter Jr. Keeps Up Strong Play
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. kept rolling in Monday's loss to the Lakers. Porter scored 19 points on 8-for-15 shooting from the field, chipping in six rebounds, two triples, and a steal.

OG Anunoby Likely Out Against Clippers
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (calf) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. Anunoby wasn't available against the Lakers on Sunday evening due to a calf strain, and with the team looking toward next season, it wouldn't be surprising if Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, or Pascal Siakam join him […]
Will Barton Remains Out Against The Lakers
Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) remains out on Monday against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 30-year-old will miss his sixth-straight contest while continuing to work his way back from a right hamstring strain. With Monte Morris (hamstring) also out, Aaron Gordon, P.J. Dozier, and Austin Rivers should all receive extra minutes, although any member […]
LeBron James Exits Early In Loss
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) was unable to finish out Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He basically disappeared with seven minutes left in the game, but wasn't helping much with five turnovers before exiting. It was later mentioned that James is dealing with right ankle soreness. Hopefully, James won't miss any games, […]
Gordon Hayward Could Return Before Playoffs
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (foot) reportedly has shed his walking boot, which is great news. However, the team has not given a timetable for Hayward's return to the court. The hope is that Hayward can return slightly before the playoffs, so he can get a few games in as a test run. It's highly […]
Norman Powell Might Sit Out Monday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He is dealing with a minor knee issue, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the Blazers take the cautious approach. The playoffs are quickly approaching and they don't need Powell suffering a long term injury. Derrick […]
Tony Snell Removed From Injury Report
Atlanta Hawks forward Tony Snell (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was originally listed as questionable, but it appears he's healthy enough to suit up. Snell has been playing minutes in the low 20s, but is one of the hottest shooters from beyond […]

Jerami Grant Out Again On Monday Night
Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (knee) will sit out on Monday night against Orlando. The veteran has missed the previous two games due to soreness in his right knee, and with the team looking toward next season, he likely won't be rushed back into action. With the Pistons also down Dennis Smith Jr. (knee), Mason […]
Jakarr Sampson Out Against Washington
Indiana Pacers forward Jakarr Sampson (concussion) will not play on Monday evening against Washington. The journeyman was placed in concussion protocol, and after having not played against OKC on Saturday, he will now miss another one in a favorable matchup against the Wizards. Luckily, Domantas Sabonis (back) returned against the Thunder, so even if Sampson […]
LeBron James Will Play Against Toronto

Dejounte Murray, DeMar DeRozan Out On Sunday
San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (rest, knee) and forward DeMar DeRozan (rest) will be sidelined for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This shouldn't come as a surprise given it's the front end of a back-to-back set. Lonnie Walker IV, Devin Vassell, and Patty Mills should see significant roles in the offense on Sunday. […]
Harrison Barnes, Chimezie Metu Ruled Out Sunday
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (groin) and center Chimezie Metu (back) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Barnes has been banged up lately, which has been resulting in more playing time for Metu. The Kings are shorthanded here with both of them sidelined on Sunday. Marvin Bagley III and Delon […]

Bogdanovic added four rebounds and four assists in the contest, while falling one three-pointer short of his season-high of seven that […]
Harrison Barnes Likely To Miss Another one
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (hip) is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran has been dealing with left Adductor tightness, an injury that will now cause him to miss his third contest in a row. With Chimezie Metu (back) also doubtful, the recently-returned Marvin Bagley III could be in line […]
Cameron Johnson Likely To Suit Up On Sunday
Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (wrist) is listed as probable for Sunday's outing against the Thunder. The 25-year-old is currently dealing with a sprained right wrist, an ailment that landed him on the league's latest injury report.
