Jalen Suggs to Miss Fourth Straight Game Friday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) will not play Friday against Philadelphia, sidelined for a fourth consecutive game with an MCL contusion.

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) will be re-evaluated in two weeks after spraining his hip Dec. 30, sidelining him through at least mid-January.

Isaiah Stewart is positioned to benefit most, averaging 9.8 points and 2.4 blocks in 23.8 minutes […]

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week after spraining his ankle during Thursday's loss to Miami, sidelining him for at least that span.

Nicolas Claxton Sidelined Versus Nuggets

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (personal) will miss a second straight game Sunday against Denver, with his next chance to return Wednesday versus Orlando.

Bennedict Mathurin Ruled Out Sunday with Thumb Sprain

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) will not play Sunday against Orlando due to a right thumb sprain, leaving Indiana short-handed on the wing.

Over his last four since returning from injury, Nesmith […]

Kyshawn George Misses Fifth Straight Game

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (hip) will miss a fifth straight game Sunday against Minnesota and remains without a timetable to return, keeping Washington's wing rotation thin.

Jusuf Nurkic Dealing with Toe Injury Ahead of Saturday

Utah Jazz center Jusuf Nurkic (toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors after sitting out Thursday versus the Clippers with a left toe sprain.

Lauri Markkanen Could Miss Second Straight Game

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors and could miss a second straight contest with a left knee contusion.

Cason Wallace Exits Early with Knee Contusion

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Cason Wallace (knee) will not return to Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors after suffering a right knee contusion and is next scheduled to be evaluated for Sunday versus Phoenix.

Maxime Raynaud Leaves Game with Apparent Knee Injury

Sacramento Kings center Maxime Raynaud (knee) exited Friday's loss to the Phoenix Suns late in the fourth quarter and did not return after being helped off the court.

Josh Hart to Miss at Least Another Week

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) has been cleared for light court work but will be re-evaluated in one week after missing time since Dec. 25 with a sprained right ankle. Hart is set to remain sidelined, keeping the Knicks' wing rotation thin. Miles McBride stands to benefit most after starting against Atlanta and […]

Ace Bailey to Miss Another Game Saturday vs. Warriors

Utah Jazz guard/forward Ace Bailey (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors and is targeting a return Monday versus the Trail Blazers.

Ivica Zubac Cleared to Play Saturday vs. Celtics

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) will be available for Saturday's home game against the Celtics after missing five consecutive contests with a Grade 2 sprain.

Jamal Murray Expected to Play Friday vs. Cleveland

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Cleveland after managing a right ankle sprain.

Trae Young Listed as Questionable for Friday vs. Knicks

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (quadriceps) is questionable for Friday against the Knicks after missing the last two games, keeping Atlanta's backcourt situation fluid.

Rui Hachimura Ruled Out Through Weekend

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Memphis and will also miss Sunday, with a target return early next week, per coach JJ Redick.
