Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is considered probable for Friday's matchup against Golden State. He continues to pop up on the injury report with a right ankle sprain, but it's not kept him out of the lineup yet and it appears like that won't be the case on Friday either. Caruso is a man […]

Paul George, Kawhi Leonard Return To Practice Friday

LA Clippers shooting guard Paul George (hamstring) and small forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) got back onto the practice court Friday, presumably paving the way for returns in the near future.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonnie Walker IV (foot) is now on the injury report listed as probable to play on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Jamal Murray Downgraded To Questionable Versus Atlanta

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (quadriceps) was previously listed as probable to play on Friday but has since been downgraded to questionable. Getting the downgrade in the afternoon before tipoff isn't too promising, especially after shootarounds happened. On top of that, with Murray's injury history, the Nuggets could opt to play it safe. If he […]

Trae Young Marked As Questionable For Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (shoulder) is experiencing some shoulder soreness and the team has tagged him as questionable. He wasn't listed on the injury report at all on Friday morning.
