Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Game 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Kennard was forced to exit early during Game 5 due to a left shoulder injury.

Russell Westbrook Would Love To Remain A Clipper

Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook stated he "would love" to remain with the team. Yet, he's also embracing the idea of entering free agency, so he hasn't decided what the future holds.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Expected To Start Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic is expected to start Tuesday against the Boston Celtics.

New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Grimes suffered a shoulder contusion in Game 3 and was unable to play in Game 4. The questionable tag brings some optimism for his status, but it remains to be seen if Grimes has made any progress […]

Jaylen Nowell Questionable Tuesday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jaylen Nowell (knee) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets for Game 5. Nowell has been dealing with a knee injury over the past week and only played three minutes last game. If Nowell is able to go, he will likely be in the backend of the rotation for Minnesota. […]

Paul George Making Progress, Remains Out Until Second Round

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (knee) said during shootaround that he has made huge progress so far, but his injury is a six-week process and he won't suit up until he feels good at the end of that period.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray could be in hot water after the NBA opened an investigation regarding his actions at the end of Sunday's Game 4 against Boston.

Dennis Schroder Expected To Play In Game 4

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder (Achilles) is listed as probable for Game 4 against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night. The 29-year-old has some lingering Achilles soreness which seems to be more of a wear and tear type of injury rather than an issue that occurred during their last game. The veteran from Germany […]

Wesley Matthews Will Miss Another Game Against Miami

Milwaukee Bucks guard Wesley Matthews (calf) has already been ruled out of his second consecutive game due to a right calf strain.

Ja Morant Off Of Injury Report For Game 4

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant seems like he's not experiencing much pain if any at all, as he didn't appear on the team's injury report for their contest on Monday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Jaylen Nowell And Josh Minott Both Available For Game 4

Minnesota Timberwolves guard and forward Jaylen Nowell and Josh Minott have both been upgraded to available for Game 4 on Sunday night against the Denver Nuggets. Minott is unlikely to crack the rotation, but Nowell has been a prominent backup for the team throughout the year. He should see around the 19-20 minutes that he […]

Victor Oladipo Done For The Rest Of The Season

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is done for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign. The multi-time All-Star suffered a torn left patellar tendon during the Game 3 postseason win over the Milwaukee Bucks and required assistance to the locker room. Oladipo had two surgeries on his right knee since 2019, so it's certainly a […]

Jimmy Butler Officially Questionable Monday

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (glute) is questionable to play Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Butler is dealing with a sore glute and did not go through practice on Sunday. Head coach Erik Spoelstra stated Butler was receiving a maintenance day, but his status should be confirmed ahead of Game 4. If Butler somehow sits, […]

He was called for a flagrant foul 2 only 17 seconds into the second half. Brooks is now the only player in franchise history to be ejected […]

Marcus Smart Questionable Against Atlanta

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (back) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Hawks. The 29-year-old suffered a lower back contusion during Game 3 on Friday night, so there's a chance he won't be available for this one. If he can't suit up, Derrick White and Malcolm Brogdon will likely divide most of the minutes, […]

Jordan Poole Probable For Game 4

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. Poole has battled a sprained left ankle for a while now, although he's managed to play through the pain.
