Kelly Olynyk Returns to Practice

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) returned to practice on Monday. Head coach Erik Spoelstra was non-committal when asked about whether or not Olynyk would play Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Robin Lopez Doubtful on Monday

Chicago Bulls center Robin Lopez is doubtful to play against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. Lopez and Justin Holiday have been healthy scratches the last two games.

Pelicans Sign Emeka Okafor For Remainder of The Season

The New Orleans Pelicans have signed center Emeka Okafor for the remainder of the season. He signed a pair of 10-day contracts with the team, but impressed enough to stay with them throughout the season. Okafor is averaging 3.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes per game. He usually only will see […]

Danny Green Will Play on Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (illness) will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.

Bryn Forbes, Patty Mills and Derrick White will go back […]

Manu Ginobili Ruled Out Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili (chest) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Danilo Gallinari Listed As Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (hand) is listed as day-to-day, but he could play against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday. Gallinari sat out of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Avery Bradley Out 1-3 Weeks

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (groin) will miss the next one to three weeks of action. Head coach Doc Rivers does not know exactly when Bradley will return, but said he'll out be "a while." Milos Teodosic, Tyrone Wallace and Austin Rivers will split the minutes with Bradley sidelined. Teodosic and Rivers are worth […]

Zach LaVine Won't Play in Back-to-Back Sets

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will not play in back-to-back sets for the reminder of the season. The Bulls will continue to be cautious with LaVine as his knee recovers.

Eric Bledsoe is Probable for Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (wrist) is probable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Joe Prunty is listing Bledsoe as probable, but he is technically a game-time call for Sunday. He's expected to be out there barring any setbacks during warmups. Owners should check back before tip-off, but Bledsoe is expected […]

Eric Gordon is Doubtful for Sunday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (illness) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Jonathon Simmons is Probable for Saturday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The good news is that this ankle issue is not the same as the lingering injury Simmons suffered last month.

Tyson Chandler is Doubtful on Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (neck) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (eye) is probable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers with pink eye.

Kosta Koufos is Questionable on Saturday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Kosta Koufos (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was reportedly sick Thursday night, which is likely why the Kings held him out against OKC.

Raul Neto Ruled Out Saturday

Utah Jazz point guard Raul Neto (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This will be the second straight game that Neto has missed due to an injury at shootaround.

Kelly Olynyk is Questionable for Saturday

Miami Heat forward/center Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He's missed five straight games, but the questionable tag is positive.

Paul Zipser Won't Play Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Paul Zipser (foot) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Zipser injured his foot in Thursday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out for Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Nemanja Bjelica is expected […]

Shane Larkin is Questionable for Saturday

Boston Celtics point guard Shane Larkin (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. He has been sidelined since late January, but has been making progress lately.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He injured his rib in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to Cleveland.

Rudy Gay Will Play Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (heel) will play against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. Gay will have a minutes limit, but will play for the first time since late December.

Lonzo Ball Will Play on Friday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) will play against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. He will return with a minutes limit and will not play against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday due to rest. Head coach Luke Walton said he's not sure if Ball is going to start or come off the bench.
