San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Keldon Johnson (knee) will return from a one-game absence on Friday versus the Knicks.

Jerami Grant Out For 10th Consecutive Game

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) will miss a 10th consecutive game on Friday versus Miami. The team has once again downgraded him to out after initially listing him as doubtful on the injury report with a right hamstring strain. With Toumani Camara (ribs) also absent on Friday, we should see a lot of […]

Caris LeVert Won't Play On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) won't be in the lineup on Friday versus Philadelphia. The team has downgraded LeVert from questionable to out as the 29-year-old battles a sore right wrist. LeVert has struggled badly in the most recent games and having some time off could even be good for him. Donovan Mitchell (nose) […]

Caleb Martin A Game-Time Call Friday

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) will be a game-time decision on Friday versus Portland. He plans to go through the pregame warmup before deciding if he can play through right ankle discomfort, which has troubled him lately. Martin hasn't missed any action since Jan. 10. He's struggled with his shot this month but has […]

Yuta Watanabe Remains Absent For Memphis Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Yuta Watanabe (personal) will remain out of the lineup on Saturday against Orlando.

John Konchar Doubtful For Saturday's Action

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward John Konchar (heel) will likely miss a third consecutive game on Saturday versus the Magic. He's on the injury report as doubtful with right heel soreness.

Vince Williams Jr. To Remain Out On Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will remain sidelined for a 10th consecutive game on Saturday versus Orlando.

Jalen Johnson Questionable Against Milwaukee

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks. The 22-year-old has averaged 16.1 points and 8.6 rebounds this season, a significant upgrade from the 2022-23 campaign.

Jonathan Kuminga Downgraded To Out On Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Friday and will not play against the Charlotte Hornets. Losing a starter as each game becomes more and more important doesn't bode too well for the Warriors, but they realistically should be okay against the cellar-dweller Hornets. While Kuminga misses […]

Ziaire Williams Likely Out For Rest Of The Season

Memphis Grizzlies forward Ziaire Williams (hip/back) is the second player on the team to be deemed unlikely to be back for the rest of this season. Teammate Derrick Rose (groin) is the other one who is likely to watch from the sidelines for the last couple of weeks as the Grizzlies shut down anyone who's […]

Caleb Martin Probable Against Portland

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) is probable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. The 28-year-old hasn't been forced to miss a game since early January, so his continued health has been a breath of fresh air for this team that has endured tons of injuries and missed games from their […]

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Expected To Play Friday

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) is listed as probable for their matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (shoulder) is dealing with a sprained right shoulder and has received a questionable tag ahead of the Friday night game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Keldon Johnson Questionable For Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Johnson missed the team's previous game versus the Utah Jazz due to right knee soreness.

Lauri Markkanen Questionable Against Houston

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Rockets. The Jazz are already eliminated from postseason contention, so the 2017 No. 7 overall pick might get another night off to avoid further injury. Markannen's most recent absence was when these clubs met nearly a week ago. Johnny Juzang got the […]

Toumani Camara Will Not Play Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (ribs) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat because of a left rib contusion. The 23-year-old has been performing well as of late and has seen at least 30 minutes of playing time in the last four games. Camara's absence comes at a difficult time […]

Cameron Johnson Out Against Chicago On Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) was officially ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable heading toward Friday's matchup with the Pacers.

Yet, James returned on Wednesday versus Memphis and ended the […]

Keita Bates-Diop To Miss Rest Of Season

Brooklyn Nets forward Keita Bates-Diop (shin) will be out for the rest of the year, the team has announced. He has undergone a procedure to address a stress fracture in his right tibia and will need to recover for a month before resuming on-court activities. The Nets finish their regular-season schedule on April 14 against […]

Michael Porter Jr. Good To Go Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) will play on Wednesday against Phoenix. He's made appearances on the injury report of late because of a non-COVID-illness. Yet, it hasn't cost him any time. However, the 25-year-old has combined for 23 points in the Nuggets' previous two games, so he may not be worth rostering in […]

Khris Middleton Expected To Play On Thursday Night

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is expected to play on Thursday against the Pelicans. The veteran was sidelined for over a month because of a sprained ankle. However, he's been back in the lineup in four of Milwaukee's previous five games. Middleton has had a few solid showings since his return. But he scored […]
