Suns Unlikely To Make Major Overhauls

The Phoenix Suns are unlikely to make significant moves this offseason. This is surprising to some considering how they were eliminated from the postseason by the Dallas Mavericks. Despite that, head coach Monty Williams expects Chris Paul (quad) to come back stronger back next season. Young big man Deandre Ayton is a restricted free agent, […]

Regardless, Bednar closed the door, which makes him eight-for-eight in […]

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford is unlikely to suit up for Thursday's Game 2 against the Miami Heat. The veteran forward is absent due to the league's health and safety protocols. There is a chance that Horford doesn't return during this series. Luckily, Robert Williams III (calf) is ready to play, so he'll likely see […]

Marcus Smart Is Probable For Game 2

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (foot) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's Game 2 against the Miami Heat. The expectation is that Smart will be able to return on Thursday, but fantasy managers will have to wait and see. Derrick White would move back to the bench, assuming Smart returns.

Tommy Edman To Sit Out Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Tommy Edman (calf) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets.

Giancarlo Stanton To Sit Out On Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Andrew McCutchen Expected To Return On Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Andrew McCutchen is expected to be activated on Friday. The veteran outfielder has been sidelined the last few days due to COVID-19 protocols.

Derrick Favors Opts Into Player Option

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Derrick Favors has opted in to his player option for the upcoming season. The 30-year-old will accept his $10.2 million option and remain with the team for the 2022-2023 campaign.

Jalen Tolbert Signs With Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has agreed to a four-year contract. The third-round rookie could be a legitimate threat early in the season. Michael Gallup (knee) is still recovering from an ACL injury, so Tolbert should see a decent amount of snaps. He finished with 82 receptions, 1,474 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns in […]
