Jae Crowder Cleared To Suit Up Friday
Memphis Grizzlies small/power forward Jae Crowder has been given the thumbs up to take the floor for Friday’s contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers after a one-game absence due to right hip soreness.

Kelly Oubre Jr. is Listed as Out for Saturday
Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (concussion) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. He suffered a concussion on Tuesday and was unable to play in Thursday's contest.

Bogdan Bogdanovic is Expected to Play on Saturday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's been bothered by an ankle issue since January 2, but hopefully he'll be able to get on the court here. There's a good chance that he'll be limited if he does suit up on Saturday.

Reggie Bullock Out, Marcus Morris In Thursday Night
New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris (neck) will return from a five-game absence, but guard Reggie Bullock (neck) will not be able to go against the Phoenix Suns Thursday.

Jaylen Brown Ruled Out Thursday With Thumb Injury
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (thumb) will not play Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Brown is battling a thumb sprain and was originally listed as questionable to play.

New York Knicks guard Reggie Bullock (neck) has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as probable, but might have tweaked his neck at shootaround. Marcus Morris (neck) isn't expected to play, so Kevin Knox could be asked to start on Thursday. Knox could be worth a look […]

Minnesota Timberwolves small/power forward Keita Bates-Diop delivered one of his better performances of the season off the bench despite playing only 17 minutes during Wednesday’s loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Evan Fournier is Questionable for Wednesday
Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Magic are banged up right now, so Markelle Fultz […]
