Indiana Pacers forward Jarace Walker (hip) is available to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Clippers are going to play it safe and have Garland sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set. The team is calling it left toe injury management, so he'll likely return for Friday's […]

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (rest) will take a seat ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.
