Keon Johnson Ruled Out On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Keon Johnson (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It appears Johnson fractured his finger during pregame shootaround.

Anthony Edwards Available For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as questionable earlier in the day due to an illness. It's also worth noting that Edwards has been dealing with an ankle issue as well. Despite these issues, Edwards will suit up and should play his normal […]

Cam Reddish To Play On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is a bit surprising considering Reddish was listed as doubtful earlier in the day. Despite that, Reddish will give it a go during Wednesday's contest. He has been dealing with back soreness, but he'll attempt to play through the […]

Kevin Durant To Return On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The superstar forward has missed the last 10 games due to sprained left ankle.

Maxi Kleber Questionable On Monday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The 31-year-old continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue, so the team might give Kleber the night off to rest. He hasn't been offering much on offense lately, but continues to contribute on the defensive side of […]

Jrue Holiday Ruled Out Monday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's uncertain what is going on with Holiday, so this could be a one-game absence or multiple game situation. The Bucks should be fine without Holiday against the tanking Pistons. The absence of Holiday should mean that Jevon […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Sitting Out On Monday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The 33-year-old is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so the team will play it safe and have Morris sit this game out. His absence should mean that Nicolas Batum and Robert Covington get extended playing […]

Karl-Anthony Towns To Sit Out On Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This doesn't come as a surprise considering it's the second game of a back-to-back set. The Wolves want to keep Towns healthy, so they'll give him a rest day on Monday. The absence of Towns should mean increased […]

Tyrese Haliburton Won't Play On Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Haliburton recently returned after missing six games due to a right ankle sprain. Now, the team is going to give Haliburton a rest day after he played through the ankle issue over the past two games. The Pacers […]

Myles Turner Unavailable On Monday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Jackson has been a […]

Calais Campbell To Meet With Lions

Free-agent defensive end Calais Campbell is scheduled to visit with the Detroit Lions on Thursday. The 36-year-old continues to meet with teams before he decides where he wants to play next season.

Bryan Edwards Joins Saints

Free-agent wide receiver Bryan Edwards has signed with the New Orleans Saints. The details of the contract haven't been announced, but it's assumed to be a one-year deal.

[…]

49ers Planning To Exercise Brandon Aiyuk's Option

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is expected to remain with the team for at least one more season. The team is reportedly going to exercise Aiyuk's fifth-year option.

Brock Purdy Viewed As Starter

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) has earned the right to start, according to general manager John Lynch. He continued by saying that Purdy is the leader in the clubhouse. The 23-year-old is currently recovering from a torn UCL that he suffered during the NFL Championship Game. That being said, Purdy is not expected […]

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson decided to take to social media right before head coach John Harbaugh was going to speak to the media on Monday.

JT Brubaker Could Miss Time

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher JT Brubaker (elbow, forearm) is expected to undergo further testing to determine the severity of his injury.

Juan Soto Likely To Play On Opening Day

San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto (oblique) looked good during Monday's minor league spring training contest.

It sounds like Soto is going to be ready despite him dealing with a mild left oblique strain that he suffered earlier in […]

Owen Miller Makes Opening Day Roster

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Owen Miller has made the Opening Day roster. It's a bit surprising, but Miller did play well this spring. He'll serve in a versatile super-utility role for the Brewers. Miller slashed 243/.301/.351 with six home runs, 51 RBI last season with the Cleveland Guardians. He beat out outfielder Joey Wiemer for a […]

Anthony Volpe To Bat Ninth In Debut

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is likely to bat ninth on Opening Day, according to manager Aaron Boone. The 21-year-old came into camp as a longshot and officially won the starting shortstop spot over the weekend.

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (shoulder) confirmed that he will begin the season on the injured list. The 39-year-old continues to work his way back from offseason shoulder surgery.

Tyler Wells Likely To Make Roster

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tyler Wells is likely to make the Opening Day roster. The current reports are that the O's are planning to option top pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez to Triple-A to begin the season. That means, Kyle Bradish and Wells are the two most likely candidates to make the roster. Wells appears to […]

Grayson Rodriguez Won't Make Opening Day Roster

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez is expected to head to Triple-A to begin the 2023 season. The 23-year-old is one of the top pitching prospects in the league, but the team feels like he needs a little more time in the minors. That could be true considering Rodriguez allowed 15 runs (12 earned) on […]

Buddy Hield Listed As Out For Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield (illness) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This is a shame considering Hield has played in every game this season until this point. Luckily, this shouldn't be a long absence considering he's dealing with a non-COVID related illness. His absence should mean Jordan Nwora and […]

Luka Doncic Available On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic will be available for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The 24-year-old received his 16th technical foul on Sunday, which results in a one-game suspension. However, it appears that foul was rescinded by the league. That means, Doncic is available and should play his normal role in Monday's contest. This […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo To Sit Out On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It appears the 28-year-old superstar is dealing with a minor knee issue, so the team is going take the cautious approach here. The Bucks should be fine without Antetokounmpo against the tanking Pistons. His absence should open up […]

De'Aaron Fox Available On Monday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is good news after Fox missed Saturday's contest due to right hamstring soreness. The expectation is that Fox won't be limited after a one-game absence and slide right back into the starting five. That also means, Davion Mitchell will […]

Joel Embiid Won't Suit Up Versus Nuggets

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The big man was questionable heading into this game, but has been officially ruled out after workouts on Monday morning. The Sixers will likely use a committee approach to try and fill the void. That means, P.J. Tucker, […]

James Harden On Track To Play Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (Achilles) is on track to suit up for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It appears the veteran guard is ready to get back on the court after missing the last three games due to Achilles soreness. The Sixers can certainly use Harden's help with Joel Embiid (calf) on the […]

Matt Strahm To Begin Season As Starter

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm will begin the season as the fifth starter, according to manager Rob Thompson. It was reported earlier in the spring that Strahm was going to be a multi-inning reliever this season. However, the injury to Ranger Suarez (forearm) has changed the Phillies plans for Strahm. He's expected to throw around […]
