Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The reigning MVP logged 31 minutes in Friday's win over the Orlando Magic, scoring 36 points and draining all 11 attempts from the charity stripe. But he's dealing with left knee soreness, so there's a good chance he won't suit […]

Nick Richards May Miss Another Game

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (ankle) is questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 26-year-old didn't suit up for Friday's meeting with the San Antonio Spurs, and with Mark Williams (back) still unavailable, P.J. Washington moved into the starting lineup. Washington played well with the first five, amassing 20 points, six rebounds, […]

Isaiah Stewart Sidelined On Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Milwaukee. The 22-year-old has already missed 10 games this season for various reasons.

Bennedict Mathurin Good To Go On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) will play on Friday versus Portland. The 21-year-old carried a questionable tag on Friday, just like he did ahead of Thursday's win over the Sacramento Kings.

Mikal Bridges Available Against The Lakers

Brooklyn Nets guard Mikal Bridges (shin) is available for Friday's meeting with the Lakers. He was listed as probable because of a right shin contusion. However, it will take more than that to keep the league's most durable player out of the lineup. The 2018 No. 10 overall pick is averaging 21.4 points this season, […]

Mark Williams Not Close To Returning

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) remains out on Friday against the Spurs. It appears the trend will continue moving forward, with head coach Steve Clifford reporting that the 22-year-old isn't nearing a return. Williams has nearly averaged a double-double this season. However, until Williams is ready to return, Nick Richards (ankle) should continue to […]

Caris LeVert Doubtful Versus Atlanta

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) is doubtful ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The injury isn't anything new. However, he'll now miss his first game since December 23. The Cavs will also continue to operate without Darius Garland (jaw) and Evan Mobley (knee), so scoring chances will be up for grabs. Of […]

Victory Wembanyama will take the night off to rest ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Wizards, so Collins will enter the starting lineup.

Victor Wembanyama Resting Against Charlotte

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama won't play on Friday night versus the Hornets.

Brandon Miller Will Suit Up Versus The Spurs

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (back) will play on Friday versus the Spurs. The rookie missed the last two games with a back contusion. As a result, Cody Martin took his place in the starting lineup, although the 28-year-old combined for 10 points in the last two contests. Assuming Miller rolls with the first five […]

Tyler Higbee Officially Good To Go Versus Detroit

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (shoulder) is officially good to go for Sunday's postseason clash with the Detroit Lions.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (knee) is officially cleared for Sunday's meeting with the Rams.

He was listed as doubtful, so most assumed he was heading for a fourth consecutive absence. […]

Caleb Martin Good To Go Against Charlotte

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Hornets. The oft-injured 28-year-old returned from a seven-game absence for Friday's win over Orlando. He logged just 24 minutes, finishing with 11 points. It's reasonable to assume Martin's workload will increase. However, there's also a chance the Heat will build up […]

Tyler Herro Back In The Lineup Versus Charlotte

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (shoulder) will play on Sunday versus the Hornets. The 23-year-old didn't suit up for Friday's win over the Orlando Magic because of a shoulder issue.

Jimmy Butler Will Miss Another Game On Sunday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) remains out for Sunday's matchup with Charlotte.

Kevin Love (knee) also won't suit up. However, Tyler Herro […]
