Los Angeles Clippers guard Milos Teodosic (foot) is questionable to play against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. He's missed three straight games, but the official word from L.A. is questionable for Thursday. The Clippers are already without C.J. Williams (ankle), so having Teodosic would be a significant benefit. A return from Teodosic means Jawun Evans would […]

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard C.J. Williams (ankle) will not play against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. Williams left the arena on crutches after Wednesday's victory over the Golden State Warriors. It's unclear how long Williams could be out, but it will mean more minutes for Jawun Evans and Tyrone Wallace. Lou Williams could see […]

George Hill Expected to Play Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard George Hill (personal) has rejoined the Kings after missing two games due to the birth of his child. Hill is expected to play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday. The return of Hill should mean less minutes for guys like De'Aaron Fox, Garrett Temple, Buddy Hield and Bogdan Bogdanovic. The Kings […]

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (shoulder) will not play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. Not too much information is known about Leonard's injury, but this will be his third straight game on the sidelines.

Tarik Black Ruled Out Friday

Houston Rockets forward/center Tarik Black (eye) will miss Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Black was wearing thick sunglasses after Wednesday's contest and it's unclear how long he'll be out. Nene Hilario (knee) won't play travel with the Rockets for their upcoming two-game road trip. That means Clint Capela will be seeing plenty of playing […]

Amir Johnson Ruled Out Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Amir Johnson (illness) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. This is the Sixers only game of the week, so Johnson will have plenty of time to rest up. The Sixers don't play again until Monday against the Toronto Raptors. Joel Embiid is healthy, so Johnson would've seen […]

Milos Teodosic Ruled Out Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Milos Teodosic (foot) will not play against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. Earlier in the week, Teodosic said he was hopeful to return either Wednesday or Thursday. He'll now miss his third game in a row but has a chance to play against the Kings on Thursday. Lou Williams and […]

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Blake Griffin (concussion) will not play against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.

Stephen Curry is Out on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (ankle) will not play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday.

Otto Porter Probable Against Jazz

Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter (hip, back) is probable to play against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Head coach Scott Brooks said on Tuesday that Porter would be back out there on Wednesday.

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (tailbone) is listed as questionable in the game notes for Thursday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lowry was forced to miss Monday's game but could be back in action on Thursday. This info is from the game notes, so there should be a more reliable update after shootaround on […]

Jeff Teague Questionable Against OKC

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) is questionable to suit up against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. Teague said, "I feel all right" after Wednesday's shootaround, but he is likely headed towards a game-time decision.

Myles Turner Out Next Two Games

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (elbow) will miss at least the next two games for the Pacers.

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (illness) is doubtful to play against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. He did not go through shootaround, and it's looking like Mirotic will miss his second game in a row. The Bulls have just one more game until Jan. 15 (when Mirotic can be traded), so he may have […]

Derrick Rose Out for Road Trip

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been ruled out for the Cavs upcoming two-game road trip. Rose will not play in Thursday's contest with Toronto or Friday against Indiana. Rose is getting close but is not quite ready yet. There is a chance that Rose is able to play on Jan. 15 when […]

Kevin Durant Will Play Against Clippers

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) will play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday.
