RJ Barrett To Remain Out On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. This marks the second game in a row that Barrett has missed due to left knee swelling.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) and Derrick Rose (hamstring) are expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Quentin Grimes Out On Saturday

New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (knee) won't play on Saturday versus the Lakers. With Immanuel Quickley now in Toronto, Grimes has received more work.

Duncan Robinson Will Remain Sidelined On Friday

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol so he will not suit up against the Washington Wizards on Friday.

Jamal Murray Expected To Suit Up Against Blazers

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) has been listed as probable for the team's Friday night contest against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Immanuel Quickley Questionable Against Rockets On Friday

Cade Cunningham Expected To Play On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Grayson Allen Returning For Friday's Game

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
