Nelson posted a 1.47 ERA, 0.82 WHIP […]

Daniel Johnson Signs Minor-League Deal

The San Diego Padres have signed outfielder Daniel Johnson to a minor-league deal. The 27-year-old was once a highly regarded prospect in the Cleveland Guardians farm system.

John Collins Remains In Concussion Protocol

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis (knee) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. The big man has been sidelined nearly a month, but was able to practice on Wednesday without any issues.

Jae Crowder Likely To Make Team Debut On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Jae Crowder is expected to make his team debut against the Miami Heat on Friday. The 32-year-old hasn't played all season, but appears ready to finally get on the court.

Bradley Beal Misses Wednesday's Practice

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (knee) was unable to participate in Wednesday's practice.

Kyrie Irving Removed From Injury Report

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (back) is not on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The superstar guard missed the final game before the All-Star break due to lower back tightness.

Frank Jackson, Kris Dunn To Sign 10-Day Deals

The Utah Jazz have signed guards Frank Jackson and Kris Dunn to 10-day deals. Jackson has played well in Utah's G-League affiliate this season.

Kirk Cousins Likely To Remain With Vikings

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been rumored to be possibly moved this offseason. The 34-year-old has a $36.2 million cap hit heading into next season. The Vikings are already over the cap by $23 million, so cutting Cousins isn't going to happen. Possibly, the Vikings could trade Cousins, but they have no legitimate option […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Avoids Serious Damage

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (wrist) has reportedly avoided serious injury. The All-Star forward exited early during Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Further testing has revealed that Antetokounmpo […]
