Returning from a […]
Yuta Watanabe Won't Play On Monday
Memphis Grizzlies forward Yuta Watanabe (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's clash with Brooklyn. The 29-year-old won't be able to have a reunion with his former team due to a right wrist sprain.

Ben Simmons Won't Return On Monday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Memphis. He will miss a fourth consecutive contest.

Devin Booker Expected To Miss 7-10 Days
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (ankle) is set to miss 7-10 days of action, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. Booker hurt his right ankle in a game against Houston at the weekend.

Cam Reddish Expected To Play Monday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Cam Reddish (ankle) is probable for Monday's contest against the Thunder. He's set to make his fourth consecutive appearance after returning to the lineup from an ankle injury.

Chris Livingston Listed As Doubtful For Monday
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Chris Livingston (groin) is considered doubtful for Monday's clash with the Clippers. Milwaukee recalled him from the G League on Sunday, but Livingston has returned to the big league carrying an injury, as the 20-year-old is on the injury report with a right groin strain. Livingston's role with the Bucks has […]
MarJon Beauchamp Likely Available Monday
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (back) has been listed a probable for Monday's matchup against the Clippers.

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Ziaire Williams (hip) won't play on Monday against Brooklyn. The 22-year-old was injured in the previous game against Portland and steps out of the lineup with a right hip flexor strain.

Jerami Grant Expected To Miss Monday's Game
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (quadriceps) is doubtful ahead of Monday's game in Minnesota.

Matisse Thybulle Uncertain Against Minnesota
Portland Trail Blazers guard Matisse Thybulle (hip) has drawn a questionable tag for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The defensive specialist has only missed two games all season, but he's dealing with hip soreness right now which could potentially knock him out of a third game.

Bruce Brown Now Questionable For Sunday Night
Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Hornets. He's averaged just 8.6 points in 19 games since being traded to Toronto, down from 12.1 points while with the Pacers.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is set to undergo season-ending surgery on Monday, according to head coach Ime Udoka. He continued by saying a benign growth was found on Eason's left shinbone.

Jerami Grant Injured Saturday, Doesn't Return
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (quadriceps) exited Saturday's game against Memphis. He did not return. The 29-year-old logged 15 minutes, finishing with five points.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (ankle) isn't available for Sunday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Could Miss Sunday's Game
Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Lowry played well with 15 points, six […]
Caris LeVert Might Miss Another Game
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the New York Knicks. He didn't play on Friday night versus Detroit because of a left elbow sprain.

Cam Thomas Still On The Shelf Saturday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (ankle) will remain sidelined for a third consecutive game on Saturday versus Atlanta.
