Jordan Clarkson Out Thursday Versus Portland

On Thursday, Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) will not suit up against the Portland Trail Blazers.

With George sidelined, Svi Mykhailiuk […]

Josh Giddey Questionable Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (ankle) has a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against Atlanta.

Ayo Dosunmu Questionable To Play On Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (Achilles) has landed on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's action against Atlanta.

Keyonte George Iffy For Thursday's Game

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) has been labeled as questionable for Thursday's meeting with Portland. An ankle might keep George off the court for a third consecutive game.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (calf) is good to go for Wednesday's clash against the Lakers.

Payton II's defense will be a valuable […]

Jrue Holiday Will Not Play On Christmas Day

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia.

Jaden Hardy Available Versus Timberwolves

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's Christmas matchup against Minnesota.

Dru Smith Out For Season With An Achilles Injury

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (Achilles) has been ruled out for the rest of the season. He tore his left Achilles in Monday's game against Brooklyn.

Jrue Holiday Carrying A Questionable Tag On Christmas

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is considered questionable for the team's Christmas Day clash against Philadelphia.

He's been one of the […]

Grayson Allen Sidelined For Christmas

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (concussion) will sit out Wednesday's Christmas battle against Denver. He remains in concussion protocol, missing a second consecutive game.
