White is the much better... Read More

Possibly, Sykes could be a punt... Read More

Kevin Huerter Will Play On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. He is dealing with a left foot contusion, but will play through the issue here.

Scottie Barnes Available For Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Barnes is back in the lineup after sitting out due to right knee soreness.

Jimmy Butler Is Available Against Hawks

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) will return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
