LeBron James Questionable Against Former Team

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Reggie Bullock is starting Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs. Bullock is making the sport start for Kristaps Porzingis (back) while the Mavericks roll out a three-guard lineup against the Spurs.

Cade Cunningham Set To Practice Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) will practice with the team Friday.

Bogdan Bogdanovic, Lou Williams Available Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (shin) and guard Kevin Huerter (ankle), both listed as probable, are available for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Malcolm Brogdon Won't Play Against Nets

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran guard is reportedly dealing with a strained hamstring, according to head coach Rick Carlisle.

Aaron Nesmith Quickly Losing Minutes

Boston Celtics guard Aaron Nesmith is beginning to lose the trust of head coach Ime Udoka. The organization wants Nesmith to slow down and play like he was during the summer league.
