Alex Caruso Uncertain To Return
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is uncertain to return to Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. Caruso had missed the last two games prior to Thursday's game with a left ankle sprain. It appears Caruso re-aggravated his ankle less than five minutes into Thursday's contest. The Bulls are unlikely to push anything and will […]
Anthony Edwards To Play On Thursday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The young guard has missed three of the last five games due to a right hip pointer.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Probable Thursday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) is expected to be available on Thursday versus the Timberwolves. He's bothered by back spasms but is listed as probable for the contest.

Kyrie Irving Remains Sidelined On Thursday
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) will miss a third consecutive game on Thursday versus Minnesota. He injured his right heel against Portland last week.

Alex Caruso Questionable Thursday
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Miami. He's in danger of missing a third straight contest with a left ankle sprain.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (groin) isn't ready to return to the lineup Tuesday versus Golden State.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) has been ruled out for another game ahead of Tuesday's contest against Dallas.

Immanuel Quickley Ruled Out On Monday
New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Monday night.

Kyle Lowry Available Against Hornets
Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (back) has been upgraded to available on Monday and will take the floor against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran guard was dealing with back spasms, but it seems that they've subsided enough for him to play. He was able to put up 17 points, five assists, and two steals in […]
Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Isaac Both Upgraded To Available On Monday
Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) and forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) will return to the floor from ankle sprains on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Anthony Edwards Questionable For Monday's Action
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hip) is regarded as questionable for Monday's clash with the Pelicans.

Pat Connaughton Remains On The Shelf Monday
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) will remain on the sidelines Monday versus Chicago. This is going to be the fifth straight game he misses due to a right ankle sprain.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) is targeting a return to action on Tuesday versus Golden State, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
