Bogdan Bogdanovic Expected To Start Tuesday

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

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. The 32-year-old hasn't played since March 21, so that six-week time frame would be around […]

Austin Reaves Leads Lakers In Scoring In Game 4

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves popped up as a surprising leading scorer for the team in Monday's Game 4 against Memphis, finishing a 117-111 overtime victory with 23 points on 7-for-16 shooting.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards had another productive performance in the first-round series against Denver on Sunday, helping the team to stave off elimination with a 34-point effort.

Dejounte Murray Under NBA Investigation

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. Murray was seen making contact with official Gediminas Petraitis as he was walking off the court. A suspension for the incident is a real possibility for Murray, […]

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. The veteran guard is normally an important piece to their defensive unit off of the bench but hasn't been able to play since Game 2. In Game 3, the Bucks gave up 121 […]

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. In Game 3, the star point guard registered 45 points and almost put up a triple-double. His presence is much-needed […]

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, […]

Dillon Brooks Ejected From Game 3

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. However, the 23-year-old has struggled during this series, averaging 12.3 points and shooting 20.0% from deep. As a result, […]

Victor Oladipo Helped Off The Court In Game 3

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) exited Saturday's postseason meeting with the Bucks. The veteran went up for a basket late in the fourth quarter and landed awkwardly on the way down.

Dennis Schroder Probable For Game 3

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder (Achilles) is expected to play on Saturday versus Memphis. The veteran has been battling a sore right Achilles since the end of the regular season, so his presence on the injury report is only a formality. That said, Schroder has averaged only 3.5 points in 18.0 minutes per game […]

Marcus Smart Enjoys A 24-Point Outing With Five Triples

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart had one of his best offensive outings of the season in Friday's Game 3 against Atlanta, registering 24 points with 5-for-12 shooting from downtown. He was 9-for-19 overall from the field and missed a double-double by just two assists. Smart pulled down three rebounds and also had the same amount […]

Anthony Edwards Leads All Scorers With 36 Points In Game 3

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards led all scorers with 36 points in Friday's Game 3 against Denver, but it still wasn't enough for the team to get on the board in the series. Edwards' efficiency dropped significantly compared to his 41-point effort in Game 2, but he still shot reasonably well, finishing 10-for-22 from the […]

Tyler Herro Undergoes Successful Surgery

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hand) underwent surgery on Friday to repair two metacarpal bones in his right hand.

Joel Embiid And James Harden Won't Face Any League Punishment

Philadelphia 76ers stars Joel Embiid and James Harden found themselves in the middle of some highly debated flagrant fouls on Thursday night.

De'Aaron Fox Barely Misses Triple-Double In Loss

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox may have struggled in the shooting department on Thursday night, but he came just shy of his first-ever triple-double in the playoffs. In the 114-97 loss, Fox put up 26 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, and two steals while shooting 9-for-22 and just 3-for-9 from deep. The 25-year-old was the […]

Stephen Curry Leads The Warriors To First Win Of The Series

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry wasn't going to get punked on his home floor as the series shifted back to San Francisco. The former MVP posted 36 points, six rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block while shooting 12-for-25 overall and 6-for-12 from beyond the arc. The team was missing their defensive leader […]

Russell Westbrook Posts Big Double-Double In Losing Effort
