New Orleans Pelicans guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker has entered the league's health and safety protocols.

Kevin Porter Jr. Making Good Progress

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) appears to be making good progress, but doesn't have a timetable to return. It sounds like he has been improving every day, but it's a slow process.

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (leg) is officially off the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has missed a month of action due to a leg issue.

Tre Mann Available On Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Tre Mann (toe) will be available for Wednesday's matchup against Denver.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Damion Lee became the team's third player in health and safety protocols on Wednesday, joining Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins.

Cade Cunningham Enters Health And Safety Protocols

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham entered the league's health and safety protocols on Wednesday. The Pistons already lost Killian Hayes (illness) at the start of the week and Frank Jackson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's clash with the Heat, so the backcourt looks extremely thin all of a sudden. Cory Joseph logged a start instead […]

Kevin Huerter Enters Health And Safety Protocols

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kevin Huerter will be unavailable for Wednesday's matchup against Orlando because of health and safety protocols. There are now a total of six Hawks players missing because of the protocols. Huerter has averaged over 33 minutes a night this month, so he'll be a pretty big miss for Atlanta.
