Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond and guard Shake Milton have both cleared the league's health and safety protocols ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

New York Scratches Evan Fournier For Wednesday’s Game
New York Knicks shooting guard Evan Fournier (ankle) was a last-minute scratch for Wednesday's contest against the Pistons due to right ankle soreness.

Fournier's numbers have […]

John Konchar Enters COVID-19 Protocols
Memphis Grizzlies guard John Konchar has entered the league's health and safety protocols. He marks the fifth player on this roster to enter protocols.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Remains Unavailable On Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He continues to sit out due to protocols and has missed each of the last four games.

Garrett Temple Starting On Tuesday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Garrett Temple will slide into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
