Dennis Schroder Traded to Cleveland

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired guard Dennis Schroder from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for forward De'Andre Hunter, with Keon Ellis also included in the deal.

Keon Ellis Traded to Cleveland

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired guard Keon Ellis from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for forward De'Andre Hunter, with Dennis Schroder also heading to Cleveland as part of the deal.

Nikola Vucevic Unlikely to Play Against Miami

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (rest) is unlikely to play Saturday against Miami as Chicago manages the veteran big man on the front end of a back-to-back. His expected absence keeps the frontcourt offense flowing through Matas Buzelis, who has consistently handled a sizable workload. Buzelis has averaged 14.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists, […]

Tre Jones Still Sidelined as Bulls Face Miami

Chicago Bulls guard Tre Jones (hamstring) will not play Saturday against Miami as he continues to work through a multi-week absence, with a return still not imminent.

Tyler Herro Remains Sidelined Saturday vs. Bulls

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ribs) will not play Saturday against Chicago, extending his absence to nine straight games.

Herro's continued absence, paired with Norman Powell (personal) being out […]

Norman Powell Ruled Out vs. Bulls

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (personal) will not play Saturday against Chicago and remains uncertain for Sunday's rematch, leaving Miami short-handed again.

Jeremy Sochan Still Sidelined as Spurs Visit Charlotte

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Jeremy Sochan (quad) will miss Saturday's game in Charlotte, extending his absence to three straight contests with left quad soreness, with Sunday against Orlando up next.

Keyonte George Injures Ankle Late in Loss to Nets

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) exited Friday's loss to Brooklyn late in the fourth quarter after turning his left ankle and did not return, though postgame imaging was clean.

Darius Garland Remains Out Friday vs. Phoenix

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (toe) will miss Friday's game against Phoenix as he continues to recover from a right toe sprain, with his status for the upcoming road trip still uncertain.

Onyeka Okongwu Out at Least Through the Weekend

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) is being evaluated on a day-to-day basis after undergoing a dental procedure and has already been ruled out for Thursday against Houston, with Saturday's game in Indiana also off the table.

Lauri Markkanen Resting Friday Against Nets

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (rest) will sit out Friday against Brooklyn after appearing in two straight games, giving Utah a scheduled night off for its leading scorer. His absence creates a short-term rotation adjustment, with Kyle Filipowski expected to step into the starting power forward role. The second-year big has shown efficiency in limited […]

Cameron Johnson Could Be Back Before All-Star Break

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (knee) is hopeful to be cleared before the All-Star break after missing time since late December with a right knee bone bruise. While no firm date is set, the update tightens the window and puts his return on the near-term radar. Johnson is averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.4 […]

Christian Braun Hopeful to Return Before All-Star Break

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (ankle) is aiming to return before the All-Star break after missing time with a left ankle sprain and sitting out Thursday against Brooklyn.

Sam Merrill Still Uncertain to Play Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hand) is questionable for Monday's game against Orlando as he works through a right-hand sprain that has already sidelined him for five straight contests.

Deni Avdija Could Miss Second Straight Game Monday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Deni Avdija (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Boston as he works through a lower-back strain that already cost him one contest. If Avdija sits again, Portland's wing rotation stays fluid. Sidy Cissoko logged 33 minutes on Friday but managed just three points with three rebounds, limiting his […]

Zaccharie Risacher Misses Ninth Straight Game Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher (knee) will sit again Monday against Indiana, extending his absence to nine straight games as he continues to recover from a left knee bone bruise.

Kristaps Porzingis Still Out Monday Against Pacers

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) will miss Monday's game against Indiana, extending his absence to nine straight contests as he continues to manage left Achilles tendinitis.

Cason Wallace Sidelined Midgame by Groin Issue

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Cason Wallace (groin) was ruled out for the second half Sunday after developing left groin soreness, finishing with three points, one rebound, and one assist in 16 minutes. His status is worth monitoring ahead of Tuesday's matchup with New Orleans. If Wallace misses additional time, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe are […]

Zach LaVine Iffy for Sunday Against Detroit

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Zach LaVine (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Detroit after being a late addition to the injury report with lower-back soreness. His status is a key swing factor for Sacramento's rotation. If LaVine sits, Malik Monk would be in line for a sizable usage bump after averaging 18.5 points, 3.5 assists, […]

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) and guard De'Anthony Melton (rest) are both questionable for Sunday's rescheduled matchup in Minnesota, with the Warriors now staring at a Sunday-Monday back-to-back.

Peyton Watson Uncertain to Play Sunday in Memphis

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup in Memphis after sitting out Friday while managing soreness in both ankles.

Jonas Valanciunas Questionable Again Sunday in Memphis

Denver Nuggets center Jonas Valanciunas (calf) is questionable for Sunday's matchup in Memphis after sitting out Friday following a brief return from an extended absence.

If Valanciunas sits, Zeke Nnaji would step in as the primary frontcourt fill-in after […]

Jamal Murray Faces Another Game-Time Call vs. Grizzlies

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against Memphis as he manages right hamstring and left hip inflammation. A potential absence would again thin Denver's backcourt and open short-term fantasy value. Jalen Pickett has stepped into a larger role with Christian Braun (ankle) already sidelined and would see another […]

Cade Cunningham Likely to Play Sunday vs. Kings

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) is listed as probable for Sunday's matchup against Sacramento after returning Friday from a brief absence. The designation appears precautionary, and he is expected to handle his normal workload if cleared.
