Bradley Beal Will Miss Friday’s Contest
Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Indiana due to a right hip contusion.

Landry Shamet Probable Against Lakers
Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (foot) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He tweaked his foot during Wednesday's season opener, but it seems to be a minor injury. Shamet finished that game with 11 points and knocked down three shots from beyond the arc.

Beal, who has a history of hip injuries, suffered a right hip contusion- though he seemed to manage the issue well, playing 34 minutes while scoring a game-high 23 points in Wednesday's season-opener against Toronto. The star guard should be […]
Lou Williams Will Play Against Dallas Thursday
Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (hip) will suit up for Thursday's game against Dallas.

The veteran guard appears slated for his usual 20 minutes off the bench, and he could supply a large portion […]
Lou Williams Might Sit Out On Thursday
Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (hip) appears to be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.
