Desmond Bane Questionable Versus Portland
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (knee) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Bane has already missed two games with knee soreness and the Grizzlies are entering a back-to-back set starting Wednesday, putting Bane in danger of missing at least another game. Ziaire Williams has been starting with Bane out, […]
Reggie Jackson Will Play Tuesday
Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson (Achilles) is available to play Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. Jackson missed last game with Achilles soreness, but the Clippers were also on the second night of a back-to-back which may have been a rest day in disguise. Regardless, Jackson will be back in the lineup after a one-game […]
Ben Simmons Will Remain Out Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will miss Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Simmons will sit out for the third straight game as he recovers from some soreness in his left knee. The Nets don't play again until Saturday so Simmons should have some added rest. Seth Curry and Day'Ron Sharpe should continue to […]
Jimmy Butler Is Available For Tuesday Versus Cleveland
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (quad) is now listed as available on the injury report despite the right quadriceps contusion that he's dealing with. He was able to play north of 32 minutes in each of the last two games, so this contusion doesn't seem too serious at the moment. With Butler still in the […]
Jalen Green Misses Another Practice, Remains Questionable
Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (calf) has now missed both practices leading up to the team's next game on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The second-year combo guard has missed just one game so due to a calf contusion but is in danger of missing his second. The fact that he was unable to […]
Tyrese Haliburton Hopes To Play As Early As Thursday
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (elbow/knee) has yet to be officially cleared by the team's trainers but said if it was up to him that he would play in Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The up-and-coming star hasn't played since January 11 and seems to be eager to play again, but the team […]
Kevin Porter Jr. Still Without Return Date
Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) has missed the last nine consecutive games and still remains without an estimated return date or timetable. He said that he hasn't started any basketball activities outside of just some dribbling work and is primarily rehabbing. Since the Rockets know they aren't competing for much this season, they're […]
Marcus Smart Unsure If He'll Be Back Before All-Star Break
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) was talking to reporters when he said that he's making "small improvements" but is still unsure when he's going to return to the court. As of right now, the ninth-year guard is considered day-to-day and the Celtics have more incentive to take it slow as the team remains at […]
Dejounte Murray Sets New Record With 40 Points
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray produced his best-ever scoring outing on Monday against Portland, leading the troops with 40 points in a 129-125 loss. Trae Young (ankle) had the night off and it gave Murray all the keys to the offense. He shot 13-for-26 from the field and 5-for-8 from downtown with a 9-for-9 record […]
Mikal Bridges Leads All Scorers With 29 Points
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Mikal Bridges was the leading scorer in Monday's 114-106 triumph over Toronto, shooting 12-for-29 from the field and 3-for-4 from outside en route to 29 points. He needed to make just one more attempt from deep to set his new season high. Through 39 minutes of action, Bridges was also able to […]

Hamidou Diallo Ruled Out For Monday
Detroit Pistons guard Hamidou Diallo (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The 24-year-old was a late addition to the injury report due to a non-COVID related illness. This is a shame because Diallo was playing very well over the last two weeks. He has been providing 6th-round value in […]
Jalen Green Misses Monday's Practice
Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (calf) was unable to practice on Monday. However, head coach John Lucas is hopeful that Green will be able to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. Green missed Saturday's game, which allowed Daishen Nix to get the start. It's worth noting that Josh Christopher has started as well […]
Romeo Langford To Miss Third Straight Game
San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford (groin) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. The 23-year-old will miss his third game in a row due to left groin tightness. His absence will mean another start for Keita Bates-Diop. Over the last two games, Bates-Diop is averaging 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, […]
Cedi Osman Catches Fire Against Clippers
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Cedi Osman tied a career high with 29 points and matched a franchise record with perfect 7-for-7 shooting from deep in Sunday's 122-99 blowout win over the Clippers. The game got very one-sided quickly and a lot of the bench players benefited from the situation. Osman shined the brightest by leading all […]
Bennedict Mathurin Paces Indiana With 27 Points
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin led the squad with 27 points on 9-for-20 shooting in Sunday's 112-100 loss to Memphis. Indiana blew a big lead in the second half and the team can't be happy about how things went, but on a personal level, Mathurin should be pretty satisfied with his contribution. The 20-year-old, who […]
Terry Rozier Heats Up Against Miami
Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier had a superb outing against Miami on Sunday, leading all scorers with 31 points on 11-for-19 shooting. He shot 5-for-11 from deep and capped off his performance with six rebounds, seven assists and one block. Rozier was supposed to take a hit once LaMelo Ball is back from his latest […]
Andrew Wiggins No Longer On Injury Report
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins will be welcomed back with open arms for their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. He was forced to miss the last two games with a non-COVID illness but should be back in the starting lineup without any restrictions. Jonathan Kuminga will probably take a hit to […]
Luka Doncic Considered Questionable For Monday
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is listed as questionable for the team's next game on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. After leaving the game against Phoenix when he tweaked his ankle, he was considered day-to-day, and then he missed Saturday's loss to Utah. While they don't want to rush him back and risk further […]
Luguentz Dort Will Remain Sidelined On Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. He's been dealing with a right hamstring strain that kept him out of Friday's game as well. After only missing one game before this injury, it's unfortunate to see Dort have to miss some extended time. […]
Josh Hart's Status Still To Be Determined For Monday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart (hamstring) missed the team's last game on Saturday and his status is now up in the air for Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. He's currently dealing with right hamstring tightness and head coach Chauncey Billups said he "did some stuff," but his status is still to be determined. If […]
Trae Young Questionable Against Portland On Monday
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 24-year-old has been on the injury report a handful of times for his ankle and he's played through it a few times before. So far, Young has only missed five games this season. If he […]
Donovan Mitchell Good To Go Sunday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) will play Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Mitchell was questionable heading into Sunday with a groin strain, but appears to have progressed enough to play. Mitchell missed the last two games with the groin strain after reinjuring it. There's no report of a minutes restriction, but Cleveland will […]
CJ McCollum Ruled Out Versus Milwaukee
New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (thumb) won't play on Sunday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran has a sprained thumb. However, considering he scored 24 points in 36 minutes in Saturday's win over the Washington Wizards, it's unknown how severe the injury is. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Brandon Ingram (toe) also out, Jonas […]
Brandon Ingram Resting Against The Bucks
New Orleans Pelicans guard Brandon Ingram (toe) won't play against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ingram, who scored 22 points on Saturday versus the Washington Wizards, recently returned after missing nearly two months with a left toe injury. As a result, he'll get the day off before presumably returning for Tuesday's meeting in Denver. With CJ McCollum […]
Spencer Dinwiddie Fills The Stat Sheet Again
Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie scored a game-high 35 points on 11-for-23 shooting in Saturday's 108-100 defeat to Utah. He was 6-for-11 from outside and completed his line with four rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block. Dinwiddie also had 36 points on Thursday against the Suns when Luka Doncic (ankle) went down. He […]
Jaylen Brown Leads Boston With 37 Points Against Lakers
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown was the team leading scorer in Saturday's classic matchup against the Lakers, shooting 13-for-23 from the field en route to 37 points. He tied the game late in regulation with a three-point play and scored 11 of the team's 20 points in overtime when the C's finally managed to put […]
Donovan Mitchell Questionable Versus The Clippers
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) is questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Clippers. The 26-year-old has missed five of the last six games because of a strained left groin, allowing Caris LeVert to enter the starting lineup. The former Net struggled against OKC on Friday night. However, LeVert has averaged 14.9 points, 4.9 […]
Desmond Bane Expected To Miss Another Game On Sunday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (knee) is doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. The 24-year-old is currently dealing with right knee soreness, an injury that forced him to miss Friday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ziaire Williams took his spot in the starting lineup in that one and finished with seven points […]
Romeo Langford Won't Play On Saturday
San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It appears the 23-year-old will miss another game due to groin tightness. His absence will mean that Keita Bates-Diop should remain in the starting five. It's unlikely that a move to the starting unit is going to […]
