Jalen Suggs Sidelined Again Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) has been ruled out of the team's Tuesday night matchup with the Washington Wizards.

Jarrett Allen Upgraded To Probable Tuesday

The Cavaliers' big man sat out of the Sunday night loss to the Detroit Pistons. The team has already ruled out Donovan Mitchell (rest), while forward Jaylon Tyson (illness) is questionable.

Anthony Edwards Added To Injury Report Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (foot) was a late addition to the team's injury report ahead of their Tuesday night matchup with the Miami Heat. The All-Star guard is listed with right foot injury maintenance, which is of note considering he missed three games in December with foot soreness. Bones Hyland was the biggest beneficiary […]

Victor Wembanyama a Game-Time Decision For Tuesday Night

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is a game-time decision Tuesday night when his team visits the Memphis Grizzlies.

Should he sit, Luke Kornet […]

Ryan Dunn to Miss Second Straight Game with Knee Injury

Phoenix Suns forward Ryan Dunn (knee) won't be a part of the rotation Monday night when the Suns visit the Washington Wizards.

Jakob Poeltl Continues to Miss Time with Back Issue

RJ Barrett Sitting Out Second Night of a Back-to-Back

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) won't play in the second night of a back-to-back on Monday, following an extended absence with a knee sprain.

Isaiah Hartenstein Won't Suit Up On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) won't play on Monday night when his team hosts the Atlanta Hawks due to a left soleus strain.

Alperen Sengun Sitting Out Another Game Monday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (calf) will miss his second consecutive game on Monday with a left calf injury. Sengun also sat out Houston's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. His minutes will be divided among Steven Adams and Clint Capela. Neither center is expected to contribute much on offense, although Adams should be […]

Trae Young Ruled Out Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (quad) won't play Monday when his team visits the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a right quad contusion. The Hawks will be thin on playmakers, with Jalen Johnson (illness) also ruled out. Forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will also be inactive.

Jordan Poole's Status In Question On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Poole (ankle) could miss another game Friday night when his team hosts the Phoenix Suns.

Vince Williams Jr. Remains Sidelined Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will miss his fourth consecutive game when his team hosts the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. The 25-year-old is dealing with left patellar tendinitis, and a timeline for his return remains unclear. Williams recently moved back to a bench role before his injury. He'll have plenty of company on […]

Gary Trent Jr. Questionable With Calf Issue

Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. (calf) is questionable to play Friday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, according to the team's official injury report. The 26-year-old quickly left Tuesday's win over the Indiana Pacers with a left calf contusion. Trent has fallen out of Milwaukee's starting lineup recently, with Kevin Porter Jr., AJ Green, and […]

Quentin Grimes Still Battling Illness Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes (illness) is questionable for Friday night's matchup with the Chicago Bulls.

Oklahoma City forward Jaylin Williams (heel) won't suit up Friday night when his team visits the Minnesota Timberwolves.
