Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (back, hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Detroit Pistons forward Sekou Doumbouya (calf) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Danilo Gallinari is Ruled Out for Friday's Game
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He played 34 minutes during Thursday's game, so this appears to be more of a rest game than injury related. He did miss some time in December due to an ankle issue, but this looks precautionary. Hamidou […]
Harrison Barnes Scores Team-High 21 Points

Kelly Oubre Jr. Suffers Knee Injury
Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) reportedly has a torn meniscus, but will seek a second opinion from a knee specialist.

LeBron James Ruled Out Thursday Against Golden State
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will miss Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. James is dealing with a sore groin which limited him last year. So far, the severity is unknown and could just be a rest day against an easier opponent. Kyle Kuzma will likely be the immediate beneficiary and will […]
Jimmy Butler Will Return on Wednesday
Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (personal) will return for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Butler has missed each of the last two games due to personal reasons.
