Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Utah Jazz. He has not made his bubble debut yet, but continues to ramp up his activities during practice.

Will Barton Ruled Out Indefinitely

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (knee) has been ruled out indefinitely, which means he probably won't make an appearance in the playoffs.

Porter […]

Detroit Pistons guard Luke Kennard (knee) has been battling injuries throughout the season. He put up career high this year, but sadly he wasn't able to stay on the court as much as he would've liked.

Gary Clark […]

Michael Carter-Williams Doubtful For Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's Game 2 versus the Milwaukee Bucks.

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Miami Heat.

Eric Gordon Starting Game 1

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon will move into the starting five for Tuesday's Game 1 matchup versus the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Nassir Little Ruled Out For Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (dehydration) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Los Angeles Lakers.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova (elbow) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Orlando Magic. The Bucks are not going to risk any of their veterans at less than 100 percent health. Milwaukee should win this series comfortably whether or not IIyasova is on the court. Marvin Williams should absorb most of […]

Gordon Hayward Left On Crutches

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) left the arena on crutches after Monday's Game 1 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Danuel House Expected To Play Versus Thunder

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (toe) is expected to be available for Game 1 versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. He practiced on Sunday, but the team might wait until warmups on game day before making the final decision.
