LeBron James Questionable Friday Against Nets

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is officially questionable to play in the team's Friday night game at home against the Nets.

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (shin) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Matisse Thybulle Removed From Injury Report

Portland Trail Blazers forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) does not appear on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

The Grizzlies are still down […]

Obi Toppin Iffy For Thursday Due To Calf Issue

Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Sacramento.

The 25-year-old is enjoying a decent debut campaign in Indianapolis, averaging 11.6 points with […]

Aaron Nesmith Questionable Thursday

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (shin) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Sacramento. He's already been out for two games with a left shin issue and might have to sit again. Nesmith had made 10 consecutive starts before landing on the shelf. Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) could land in the starting unit in Nesmith's […]

Bennedict Mathurin Listed As Questionable Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) is considered questionable for Thursday's clash with the Kings. He sprained his left ankle against Utah on Monday and could be forced to miss his first game of the campaign.

Patrick Williams Could Miss Third Consecutive Game

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is in danger of missing a third consecutive game on Thursday versus the Raptors. He's nursing a right ankle strain and is listed as questionable for the game. Williams didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, which is a bad sign regarding his availability for the Toronto game. With the Bulls […]

Josh Hart Iffy For Wednesday's Game

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) is in danger of missing his first game of the season Wednesday against Houston. He's listed on the injury report as questionable with left patellar tendinopathy. Hart is New York's biggest contributor off the bench, and his absence would open up a large chunk of minutes. Quentin Grimes […]

Reggie Bullock Questionable Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Reggie Bullock (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Knicks. The veteran is suffering from lower back pain. Bullock hasn't had a consistent role on the team all season and shouldn't be a big miss for Houston. He's averaged less than 10 minutes of action across 17 games in 2023-24.

Bojan Bogdanovic Likely Returning On Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) is on track to return to the court Wednesday versus Minnesota. The team has listed him as probable for the game.

Brandon Miller Listed As Questionable

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (back) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The rookie forward suffered a lower back contusion during Friday's game. As a result, Miller sat out of Sunday's game and is uncertain for Wednesday. Cody Martin figures to draw another start if Miller is […]

Michael Porter Jr. Considered Questionable Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Philadelphia. The 25-year-old has played in every game this season so far, but he could be forced to come out of the lineup due to left knee inflammation. Porter Jr.'s absence would open the door for Justin Holiday and Christian Braun to […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Questionable Tuesday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (back/neck) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's battle with Philadelphia. He continues to deal with a cervicothoracic strain. The questionable tag leaves his status up in the air, but Caldwell-Pope has played in 14 consecutive games, and the injury doesn't appear to have affected him much. The veteran has scored […]

Bennedict Mathurin Hurts Left Ankle Monday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin sprained his left ankle against Utah on Monday and didn't finish the game. It was an awful ending to Mathurin's first start since Nov. 19. He had 11 points in the contest with 5-for-10 shooting. Mathurin has averaged the fifth-most minutes among Pacers players this season and is sitting third […]

Cam Reddish Could Miss Multiple Games

Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish (knee) won't suit up for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The young forward continues to deal with a lingering knee issue that could end up costing him a few games. This is a tough blow to the Lakers who have been starting Reddish lately. In his absence, […]

Gary Trent Jr. Ruled Out On Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) wasn't listed on the injury report until later Monday evening and he was already ruled out with a non-COVID illness. He's been receiving around 25 minutes a night, so it leaves a big hole in the bench unit. Gradey Dick (thumb) was also ruled out, so the backcourt […]

Jimmy Butler Will Return on Monday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Monday and will play his first game since December 30. He's actually only played one game since December 18 due to the right-toe MP joint sprain he's been dealing with, so fantasy managers will welcome back a player of his caliber […]

Max Strus Upgraded To Active On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus (knee) has been upgraded and will play on Monday night against the Chicago Bulls. The 27-year-old was only able to play around seven minutes in their last game against the Brooklyn Nets. This comes as great news since Darius Garland (jaw) remains sidelined. Strus will also remain in the starting […]

Robert Covington Remains Sidelined Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) won't make his return from injury Monday against Houston. The former Rocket is nursing left knee inflammation and is forced to sit for a sixth consecutive game. Philadelphia also has a matchup against Denver coming up on Tuesday, meaning Covington's absence could quickly extend for another game. However, the […]

Franz Wagner Remains Out Monday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will miss a sixth game in a row Monday versus the Knicks. He continues to deal with a right ankle sprain suffered on Jan. 3 in a game against Sacramento. Wagner's injury has helped Chuma Okeke and Caleb Houstan break into the starting five. Both players have had a […]

Jaylen Brown Could Miss Monday's Action

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is back on the injury report ahead of Monday's clash with Toronto. He's considered questionable for the contest due to right knee hyperextension. Al Horford or Sam Hauser should get the start if Brown can't play on Monday. It's also worth noting that Kristaps Porzingis had his best game […]

CJ McCollum, Trey Murphy III Probable To Face Mavericks

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) and Trey Murphy III (knee) have both been tagged as probable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Both play big roles in the team's offensive success on both the starting and reserve units. McCollum and Murphy were forced to miss their last game against the Mavericks […]

Brandon Ingram Expected To Suit Up Against Mavericks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is expected to play on Monday after he was listed as probable. The veteran wing missed the team's last matchup with the Dallas Mavericks, but he'll at least play them this time around. Ingram, who has dealt with several injury issues in the past, has only missed three […]

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Leaves On Sunday, Ruled Out For Monday

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) could only play the first half of the game against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday after he suffered a groin strain. Afterward, head coach Erik Spoelstra said that Jaquez would not travel with the team for their game against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday and he's considered day-to-day. […]
