Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (pelvis) is close to being cleared to return to contact work, according to head coach Jim Boylen. He is currently five weeks into a four-to-six week timetable, so hopefully he'll get back on the court soon. Markkanen could be worth stashing in leagues with an open IR spot, but the […]

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Serge Ibaka is Questionable Versus Hornets

Toronto Raptors center Serge Ibaka (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Trae Young, Kevin Huerter Will Play Friday

Atlanta Hawks guards Trae Young (illness) and Kevin Huerter (groin) are both available for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Young was unable to practice on Thursday, so there was some concern that he'd sit out of Friday's contest. However, both players appear ready to play and shouldn't be limited at all for this one. […]

Damian Jones is Available for Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Damian Jones (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed as questionable on Thursday, but it appears he's feeling good enough to play here.

Danilo Gallinari is Ruled Out for Friday's Game

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He played 34 minutes during Thursday's game, so this appears to be more of a rest game than injury related. He did miss some time in December due to an ankle issue, but this looks precautionary. Hamidou […]

Eric Gordon Could Sit Versus Celtics

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. He sat out of Wednesday's game due to a nagging right knee issue.

Robert Williams is Cleared for Game Action

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (hip) has been cleared to return to game action. He went through his final scan on Thursday, and everything came back clean.

Kemba Walker is Unable to Practice on Friday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) was unable to participate in Friday's practice. Walker is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets, according to head coach Brad Stevens.

Victor Oladipo Will Play on Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (back) will return to the starting five for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
