Detroit Pistons forward Stanley Johnson (toe) will start in Wednesday's preseason game against the Washington Wizards. Johnson sat out of Monday's contest due to a toe issue. However, the issue was never believed to be serious and Johnson was back on the practice court on Tuesday. Johnson will be taking the court alongside Reggie Jackson, […]

Markieff Morris is Questionable for Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Markieff Morris (abdominal) is questionable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Pistons. Morris sat out on Monday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him out again. The Wizards want to be cautious and make sure Morris is 100 percent for the season opener.

Kyrie Irving, Gordon Hayward Participate in Practice

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving (ribs) and forward Gordon Hayward (back) were full participants in practice on Wednesday. Both players were also able to get in some practice on Tuesday. It sounds like neither player is dealing with anything serious. It will be interesting to see how Hayward responds after missing basically all of […]

Jahlil Okafor is Questionable for Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Jahlil Okafor (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's preseason game. The Pelicans are playing the front end of a back-to-back set, so it would make sense for Okafor to sit this one out. That would give him another night to rest his ankle and get out there on Thursday. There is a […]

Terrence Ross Will Remain Out on Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Terrence Ross (foot) will remain on the sidelines for Wednesday's preseason game. Ross has played in just one preseason game, but the Magic are hopeful that he can get back on the court for Friday's contest.

Derrick White Will Start on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs point guard Derrick White will draw the start at point guard against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. Dejounte Murray (knee) is most likely done for the season after tearing his ACL. It does not appear the Spurs are looking to add any significant updates to their roster at the moment. The Spurs […]

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (knee) should be ready for the season opener, according to head coach Steve Kerr.

Washington Wizards center Dwight Howard (buttocks) visited a specialist in New York and has a piriformis injury. However, the injury isn't considered serious, but Howard's status for the season opener is in question. Head coach Scott Brooks didn't see whether or not Howard would be ready by the opener. It could be too early to […]

Thaddeus Young Will Play on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward Thaddeus Young (foot) missed all of training camp and the beginning of the preseason. Young has been dealing with a foot issue, but will be out there on Wednesday against the Bulls. It sounds like Young is full healthy, but he won't be the best fantasy asset this season. He's expected to […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Resting on Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (rest) will sit out of Tuesday's preseason game. The Bucks will also be without Khris Middleton, Eric Bledsoe, and Brook Lopez due to rest.

Denzel Valentine Likely to Miss Entire Preseason

Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine (ankle) isn't ready to practice yet due to a left ankle issue, according to head coach Fred Hoiberg.

Houston Rockets point guard Michael Carter-Williams (knee) has been ruled out of Tuesday's preseason game against the Shanghai Sharks.

Clint Capela is Questionable for Tuesday

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (hand) is questionable for Tuesday's preseason matchup with the Shanghai Sharks. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said a few days ago that he expects Capela to be fine.

Derrick White Likely to Remain in Starting Lineup

San Antonio Spurs point guard Derrick White has seen his fantasy value skyrocket overnight with Dejounte Murray (knee) out for the season. The Spurs seem reluctant to add an additional guard at the moment, according to Jabari Young. It sounds like the Spurs are going to give White a chance to earn himself the starting […]

Frank Mason III Could Join Starting Lineup

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Frank Mason III got the start at shooting guard during Monday's preseason contest. Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is sidelined, so either Mason or Buddy Hield are the most likely candidates to take over the starting spot.

Kyrie Irving Expects to Practice on Tuesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (back) is expected to return and participate in parts of practice on Tuesday, according to head coach Brad Stevens. Hayward did not play in the preseason finale.

Devin Booker Hopes to Play in Season Opener

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker (hand) is hopeful that he can play in the season opener versus the Dallas Mavericks on Oct. 17. Booker was given a six week timetable, but maybe there is a chance that he beats it. He's reportedly been going through most drills and getting up shots with his right […]

Kyle Anderson Sits Out of Practice

Memphis Grizzlies forward Kyle Anderson (heel) sat out of Monday's practice, but reportedly did want to be out there. However, the Grizzlies are going to be cautious and not rush Anderson back to the court. There is a chance that Anderson plays on Wednesday if he's able to practice on Tuesday. The injury doesn't seem […]

Jahlil Okafor Hopes to Get on The Court Soon

New Orleans Pelicans center Jahlil Okafor (ankle) said that he's hopeful to get back on the court before the end of the preseason. The Pelicans end their preseason with a back-to-back set on Wednesday and Thursday. Okafor won't be out there unless he's 100 percent which is beginning to sound unlikely. There is a chance […]

Draymond Green Participates in Shootaround

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) participated in Monday's shootaround, but he'll remain on the sidelines against the Suns. He was able to go through shootaround without any issues. The next step is likely to get Green into a full contact practice. Green might be able to get on the court for Wednesday's contest, […]

Reggie Jackson, Blake Griffin Will Make Preseason Debuts

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (ankle) and power forward Blake Griffin will make their preseason debuts on Monday against the Nets.

Tyreke Evans is Questionable Against Cavs

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Evans sat out the first preseason game, but was able to play in the second contest. Evans has a history with injuries, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Pacers be cautious here. Evans could be a […]

Thaddeus Young Remains Out of the Lineup

Indiana Pacers forward Thaddeus Young (foot) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's preseason game with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Young has not played in the preseason yet, but did return to practice. T.J. Leaf will see increased playing time with Young sidelined.
