Michael Porter Jr. Will Play on Friday
Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) will play in Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He practiced with the team on Wednesday and it appears he's ready to return to action.

Deandre Bembry is Doubtful for Saturday
Atlanta Hawks forward Deandre Bembry (abdominal) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. De'Andre Hunter (personal) is going to be sidelined for that game as well.

De'Andre Hunter Will Miss Saturday's Game
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Hunter has been dealing with an ankle issue lately, but he's missing this game due to a personal issue.

James Ennis Will Start on Friday
Orlando Magic guard/forward James Ennis will draw the start in Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It's only his third game with the team, but head coach Steve Clifford trusts him enough to stick him with the first unit. Khem Birch and Wesley Iwundu could see less minutes and usage with Ennis starting. Ennis could […]
Paul George Practices on Friday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) was able to suit up for practice on Friday. George suffered a left hamstring strain during the last game before the All-Star break.

Otto Porter Practices on Friday
Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (foot) was able to get in some 3-on-3 work during Friday's practice. He was a full participant during Tuesday's practice and appears close to returning to the court.

Harrison Barnes Catches Fire From Deep
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes must have found his stroke over the break, as he connected on 7-for-11 shooting from three en route to a team-high 32 points on Thursday.

Will Barton Could Return on Friday
Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. He is dealing with right knee inflammation, but has a chance to return for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Jake Layman Returns to Practice
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jake Layman (toe) has been cleared to return to practice. Layman has not played in a game since November due to a turf toe issue.

Otto Porter Won't Play Against Hornets
Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was able to get through practice on Tuesday, so that's a good sign moving forward.

Brandon Ingram is Likely to Get A Max Contract
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram is expected to receive a maximum contract offer from the organization this summer, according to William Guillory.

Derrick Jones Wins Slam Dunk Contest
Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones was able to pull off a narrow victory over forward Aaron Gordon during Saturday's Slam Dunk contest.
