Moses Moody Returns To Warriors Lineup Friday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody (knee) will be back in action on Friday against Indiana. He sat out the first leg of a back-to-back on Thursday versus Detroit due to a knee issue.

Dejounte Murray Active On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, shin) will play on Friday against Philadelphia. Murray was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to shin and elbow ailments.

Stephen Curry Sidelined On Friday For Injury Management

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) will miss Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers while the team manages his knee injury. The superstar sharpshooter does get some back-to-back games off, so that the team can maximize his health throughout the season, and this is one of those cases. With the rest of the backcourt […]

Dejounte Murray Uncertain To Suit Up On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow/shin) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Jalen Suggs Remains Sidelined On Friday Against Bucks

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) has been ruled out for the fourth consecutive game while he deals with a lower back strain.

After playing in each of the last three games, Brown will sit out Thursday's action for knee management purposes.

Sam Merrill Uncertain Against The Raptors

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Sam Merrill (ankle) could be in line for a larger workload with Donovan Mitchell (rest) out against the Raptors on Thursday, but the 28-year-old from Utah State will have to overcome his own questionable tag.

Keyonte George To Miss A Third Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (heel) will not be available for Thursday's clash against Miami. He'll be out for a third straight game due to inflammation in his left heel. The Jazz backcourt is also without Jordan Clarkson (foot), opening up a lot of additional playing time for the likes of Collin Sexton and Isaiah […]

Desmond Bane Might Miss Another Game With An Ankle Issue

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (ankle) carries a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's contest against Houston. An ankle injury might keep him out of action for a second consecutive game. The Grizzlies are once again battling injuries in 2024-25, giving players like Scotty Pippen Jr., Luke Kennard, and Jaylen Wells extra responsibilities. All three players […]

Miles McBride Ruled Out For Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This marks the fourth game in a row that McBride has missed due to a left hamstring issue. His absence should mean increased playing time for Cameron Payne and Landry Shamet. Both players are only playing […]

Bub Carrington Available On Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (back) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The rookie guard is dealing with a lower back issue, but that won't stop him from suiting up here.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran guard was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness.
