Grayson Allen Will Not Make His Return Thursday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen will stay sidelined Thursday against the Houston Rockets.

Terry Rozier To Sit Against Philly
Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Detroit Pistons guard Josh Jackson scored 22 points in a losing effort to Utah on Tuesday night.

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus Houston due to a sprained left knee.
