Victor Oladipo Moving On To Memphis

The Rockets traded guard Victor Oladipo (and three second-round picks) to Memphis on Thursday night. In exchange, Houston will receive center Steven Adams. The Rockets needed a veteran center to mentor Alperen Sengun, one of the league's top centers. But the Grizzlies needed to shave some cash off the books, so the move makes sense […]

Paul George Off The Injury Report

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (groin) isn't listed on the league's injury report ahead of Friday's game versus Detroit. The veteran has been battling a groin injury, although it finally kept him out of the lineup for Wednesday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. As expected, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden were more involved offensively. […]

Quentin Grimes Iffy For Thursday's Game

New York Knicks guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Pacers. The 23-year-old hurt his right knee against Utah on Tuesday. He was able to finish the game, but Grimes' status for Thursday's action is up in the air. Grimes has produced some solid performances […]

OG Anunoby Considered Questionable Thursday

New York Knicks guard/forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Indiana. He's dealing with right elbow inflammation and might be kept off the court for a third straight game. Anunoby has suffered the injury blow after enjoying a hugely impressive start to life in the Big Apple. He's averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 […]

Bennedict Mathurin Questionable For Thursday's Game

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (toe) is considered questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Knicks. A toe sprain kept him out from Tuesday's clash with Boston, and Mathurin might have to sit again with the same issue. Buddy Hield and Aaron Nesmith played huge minutes without Mathurin on Tuesday, while Andrew Nembhard went close to […]

Gary Harris Making Solid Progress

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (calf) is making good progress and was able to return to on-court work on Wednesday. Harris has been sidelined since January 3rd due to a right calf strain. However, it sounds like Harris is doing well and inching his way closer to a return to the court. Right now, Markelle […]

Grayson Allen Won't Play Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Allen suffered an ankle injury during Monday's win and will miss his first game since December 13. Eric Gordon will shift into the starting five with Allen on the sideline. Gordon will be worth a look as a […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Battling An Illness

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (illness) is in danger of missing his second game of the campaign on Wednesday against Denver. The Thunder star is considered questionable with an illness. Josh Giddey is set to run the offense without Gilgeous-Alexander, while a number of bench players could contribute. The Thunder have multiple starters with […]

Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving Out On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guards Luka Doncic (ankle) and Kyrie Irving (thumb) won't play Wednesday against Minnesota. Doncic, who's had a massive workload lately, will sit out his first game since Jan. 15, while Irving will miss a fifth consecutive game. With Dante Exum (knee) also on the injury report as doubtful, the Mavericks backcourt could be […]

Moses Moody Cleared For Practice

Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody (calf) has been cleared to return to team practices on Tuesday. Moody is getting closer to a return after being sidelined since January 10 due to a left calf strain. He won't play on Tuesday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Although, Moody could be back within the next few games. […]

Klay Thompson Ruled Out On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Thompson wasn't on the original injury report but will miss this game due to an illness. His absence means that Brandin Podziemski will shift into the starting five. Podziemski has seen a bigger role lately and […]

Immanuel Quickley Likely To Remain Out On Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (quadriceps) is considered doubtful for Tuesday's meeting with Chicago, meaning he'll likely miss a third straight game. With Quickley unavailable, Dennis Schroder and Gary Trent Jr. run the backcourt. The two combined for 30 points on Sunday versus Atlanta and also made an impact defensively by collecting six steals. Quickley's […]

RJ Barrett Out On Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (knee) won't play Tuesday versus Chicago, missing a second consecutive game. The former Knick has landed on the shelf with swelling in his left knee. Barrett has enjoyed a great start to life in Toronto, averaging 21.0 points with 7.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists. Dennis Schroder joined the starting give […]

Dejounte Murray Could Miss Second Consecutive Game Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (hamstring) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Lakers. He was a late scratch on Sunday versus Toronto due to right hamstring tightness, and the issue might now keep him off the court for a second consecutive contest. Prior to last weekend, Murray had featured in every game […]

Duncan Robinson Won't Return To Monday's Game

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (illness) won't return to Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Robinson was only able to play in four minutes of action before being forced to exit due to an illness. The expectation is that this is a minor issue and that Robinson will be able to play on Wednesday. In […]

Grayson Allen Won't Return On Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (ankle) won't return to Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Allen was forced to exit early due to an ankle issue and won't play in the second half of this contest. His absence means that Eric Gordon and Josh Okogie should see more run during the second half of Monday's […]

OG Anunoby Will Be Sidelined On Monday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday due to right elbow inflammation. This will be the 26-year-old's first missed game as a member of the Knicks for something other than traveling to join the team when he was first traded. Anunoby has been a tremendous […]

Vince Williams Jr. Ruled Out On Monday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Monday night and will not face the Sacramento Kings. The 23-year-old has been relatively healthy since stepping into a bigger role in the rotation. This would only be his third missed game since receiving more minutes and becoming a starter. […]

Ben Simmons Officially Probable For Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) has been listed as probable for Monday's contest against Utah. Nets head coach Jacques Vaughn said at the weekend that there's a "high likelihood" Simmons will play on Monday, and it indeed looks like he'll make his first appearance since Nov. 6. Simmons had a solid start to the […]

Frank Ntilikina Questionable Monday

Charlotte Hornets guard Frank Ntilikina (hip) is questionable to play on Monday versus the Knicks. The defensive specialist appeared in Charlotte's rotation in back-to-back games last week but had to sit out Saturday's clash against Utah due to discomfort in his left hip. Ntilikina only recently made his season debut and has played 22 total […]

After an exciting start, it's Week 15 of the 2023-2024 NBA season. While you want to have faith in the players you drafted, don't get too attached. You may feel confident about your draft decisions, but remember: stars are born and eroded every day. Take a moment to see what's on the other side of […]

Khris Middleton Not On Injury Report Against Nuggets

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (knee) didn't suit up for their game on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans since he's still not playing both games of a back-to-back right now. The team is still trying to load manage his knee to make sure he's healthy come playoff time. He has since been removed from […]

Kyrie Irving Will Remain Sidelined On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive game and his 20th game overall. He's still dealing with a sprained thumb right now and there hasn't been a timetable set for his return. Grant Williams entered the starting five in Irving's place over the past three games and he's […]

Tyrese Maxey Could Miss Another Game Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (ankle) was unable to play in their last contest against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. He's now listed as questionable for their Monday night game against the Portland Trail Blazers as he continues to deal with the ankle pain. The 23-year-old star has only […]

Donovan Mitchell Expected To Play On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) popped up on the injury report as probable for their Monday night game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The superstar shooting guard hasn't missed a game since December 27 and it would be surprising if he was downgraded from a probable status. Mitchell has taken on a big chunk […]

Anfernee Simons, Scoot Henderson Questionable On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guards Anfernee Simons (rib) and Scoot Henderson (quad) have both been listed as questionable for the Sunday night matchup against the Chicago Bulls. Simons has only missed one game so far since the turn of the new year, but he did play 40 minutes in back-to-back games and took a combined 47 […]

Malcolm Brogdon Draws Another Questionable Tag On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) received another questionable tag on Sunday for their game against the Chicago Bulls. He's listed with a knee contusion, which forced him to miss their last game on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. The injury came after he played over 40 minutes in an overtime win against […]

Luke Kennard Unavailable On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) isn't available for Sunday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. The 27-year-old missed Wednesday's win over the Miami Heat because of a thigh issue. But he returned against the Magic on Friday night, finishing with 15 points, six assists, and a steal while shooting 50% from behind the arc. The […]
