Kenyon Martin Jr. Downgraded On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (ankle) is now out for Sunday's matchup with the Bucks. He was initially listed as probable on Saturday, so things must have taken a turn in the wrong direction since then.

LeBron James Questionable Versus Phoenix

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for the Sunday afternoon showdown with the Suns.

Anthony Davis Questionable For Sunday Afternoon

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (Achilles, hip) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns. This injury isn't anything new, so he should be out there, barring a setback.

Rudy Gobert Won't Play Versus Brooklyn

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) won't suit up on Saturday versus Brooklyn. He tweaked his ankle on Friday in the loss to Milwaukee.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) is probable for Sunday's matchup with Indiana.

Khris Middleton Still Sidelined On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) remains out on Sunday versus Philadelphia. This will mark the veteran's seventh consecutive absence because of an ankle injury, which occurred before the All-Star break.

Trae Young May Not Play On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (finger) is questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando. He scored only 11 points on Friday night and suffered a thigh injury during the contest.

Of course, Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are […]

Donovan Mitchell Sitting Against Orlando

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) won't play on Thursday against the Magic. He did participate in shootaround on Thursday morning, so that's a good thing regarding his health.

Brandon Ingram Out Versus Houston

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (illness) won't play on Thursday versus the Rockets. He has been under the weather, so he carried a questionable designation heading into this one.
