Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) won't play in Sunday's game versus OKC. These two teams played on Friday night, with Markkanen finishing with a double-double in 30 minutes. However, he won't be available for the rematch because of low back soreness. With Collin Sexton (hamstring) also unavailable, Talen Horton-Tucker, Kelly Olynyk, and Walker Kessler […]

Tyrese Haliburton Questionable Again

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (calf) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. He missed Thursday's game against the Spurs because of right calf soreness, allowing George Hill to enter the starting lineup. However, Hill only logged 15 minutes, with T.J. McConnell playing 31 minutes and finishing with 10 points, six rebounds, five […]

D'Angelo Russell To Miss Another Game

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) remains out for Sunday's meeting with the Golden State Warriors. The 27-year-old has played only four games since being acquired by the Lakers ahead of the deadline, missing his previous four games because of a sprained right ankle. It's anyone's guess how much longer he will be sidelined. […]

Anthony Davis Expected To Suit Up On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (foot) is expected to play on Sunday versus the Warriors. Davis' presence on the injury report is nothing new, as he continues to deal with the lingering effects of a right foot ailment that held him out for over a month earlier in the season. Nevertheless, the 29-year-old should […]

X-Rays On Killian Hayes Come Back Clean

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hand) didn't return to Saturday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He injured his left hand, limiting him to only 18 minutes on the night.

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (personal) will miss Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

But until he is ready to make it back, Jonathan Kuminga […]

Deandre Ayton Questionable On Sunday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (knee) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matinee matchup versus Dallas. Ayton has a right knee contusion, so Jock Landale would presumably take his spot in the rotation if he's ruled out. The 27-year-old Aussie has averaged 8.3 points and shot 42.9% from deep in three starts this season. However, with […]

P.J. Tuckers Exits On Saturday With Back Spasms

Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker (back) didn't return to Saturday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks after being ruled out with back spasms. The 37-year-old played only 19 minutes before his premature departure, totaling two points and two rebounds. Considering Tucker isn't a potent fantasy presence, his potential absence on Monday against the Indiana Pacers shouldn't […]

Tobias Harris Exits Win Over Milwaukee

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (calf) exited Saturday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks because of left calf soreness. He did not return. The veteran lasted only 13 minutes, finishing the night with three points and two rebounds. Head coach Doc Rivers wasn't optimistic Harris would be available for Monday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers, meaning […]

Killian Hayes Injures Left Hand On Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hand) exited Saturday's loss to the Cavaliers and didn't return. The 21-year-old injured his left hand, ending his night after only 18 minutes of work. The Pistons were shorthanded entering this contest, as Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), Jalen Duren (ankle), and Isaiah Stewart (hip) weren't available, so losing another player certainly […]

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert may be asked to run more this season. During a recent gathering with the media, head coach Brandon Staley addressed the offense and how it can improve, with Herbert's mobility being a focal point.

New Orleans Saints quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill had his contract restructured by the team, according to ESPN's Field Yates.

D'Onta Foreman Expected To Draw Plenty Of Interest

Impending Free-agent running back D'Onta Foreman is expected to be a "hot commodity" on the open market, according to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson, citing various NFL sources.

The 23-year-old has averaged 27.1 points, 8.2 assists, and 1.1 steals in 53 appearances this season. However, Morant's name has been tied to various off-the-court incidents, with the Washington […]

Dillon Brooks Suspended Again

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks won't play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers. During Friday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets, he received his 16th technician foul of the season, meaning an automatic one-game suspension under the collective bargaining agreement. As a result, Luke Kennard and John Konchar should see some additional minutes, although it's […]

Brandon Clarke Done For The Year

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (Achilles) will miss the remainder of the season. Clarke suffered a non-contact injury in the first quarter of Friday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets and didn't return. The most recent update isn't good, with the 26-year-old suffering a left Achilles tear. He signed a four-year, $52 contract extension during the […]

Brian Hoyer Expected To Be Cut By The Pats

According to Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio, the Patriots are expected to part ways with quarterback Brian Hoyer. The veteran is entering the second of a two-year, $4 million contract.

Impending free-agent kicker Robbie Gould isn't returning to San Francisco, with the 40-year-old informing ESPN's Adam Schefter that he'll "be kicking elsewhere in 2023." Gould already scoffed at retirement rumors in February, so it appears he's in line to suit up for a new team for his 19th year in the National Football League. The […]

Tua Tagovailoa Not In Miami's Long-Term Plans?

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa still hasn't had his fifth-year option guaranteed by the team. The Fins also haven't inked the signal-caller to a long-term extension. However, there may be a reason, with Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reporting that the "organization will explore all options at quarterback." The 23-year-old is coming off the best […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Still On Cowboys' Wish List

Free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) hasn't played since tearing his ACL in Super Bowl LVI. While there were clubs interested in signing the veteran wideout once he was healthy enough to return at the end of last season, it never happened. Instead, Beckham remained out to focus on his rehabilitation efforts. However, it […]

Isaiah Livers Expected To Play Versus Cleveland

Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers (ankle) is probable for Saturday's Central Division meeting with Cleveland. Livers only missed one game after suffering a sprained left ankle on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. But it appears he'll be good to go, which is good news, considering Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (hip) are sidelined for […]

Monte Morris Out Again Versus The Raptors

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (back) remains out for Saturday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. Morris will now miss his fourth straight contest because of low back soreness, meaning Delon Wright will take his sport in the rotation. Wright has averaged 7.4 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 boards, and 1.4 steals in five starts this season, […]

Norman Powell Out For At Least One Week

Los Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (shoulder) is out for at least one week. The 29-year-old sustained a left shoulder subluxation during the loss to the Warriors on Thursday evening. He'll need treatment before being reevaluated, so it's certainly possible he'll be out longer. Powell has averaged 16.6 points while shooting 41.0% from deep this […]

Robert Williams III Doesn't Return On Friday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (hamstring) exited Friday's 115-105 loss to the Brooklyn Nets because of hamstring tightness. He did not return.

No Movement On Leighton Vander Esch Talks

According to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys have made "no progress" with linebacker Leighton Vander Esch on a new deal.

Alec Burks Won't Play Against The Cavs

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (foot) won't play on Saturday against Cleveland. Detroit will also be without Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), Isaiah Stewart (hip), and Jalen Duren (ankle), so Killian Hayes, Hamidou Diallo, and Jaden Ivey could see a significant uptick on the scoring end. At the same time, James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley III should […]

Isaiah Stewart To Remain Sidelined Versus Cleveland

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (hip) isn't available for Saturday's meeting with the Cavaliers. The 21-year-old will miss his third consecutive contest, joining Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), Alec Burks (foot), and Jalen Duren (ankle) on the shelf for this one. As a result, James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley III should get most of the minutes up […]
