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 […]

Justin Herbert May Be More Mobile This Season

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. "It's certainly a weapon we need to take advantage of," Staley said while also referencing […]

Carson Wentz Doesn't Plan On Retiring

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, free-agent quarterback Carson Wentz doesn't intend on calling it quits anytime soon.

Wentz is coming off one of the worst years of his career, finishing the 2022-23 campaign with 1,755 yards, […]

Taysom Hill Has Contract Restructured

New Orleans Saints quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill had his contract restructured by the team, according to ESPN's Field Yates. New Orleans also did the same for linebacker Demario Davis' current agreement, opening up nearly $13 million in salary cap space. Hill, who agreed to a hefty contract extension in November 2021, has done it all […]

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. Foreman signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Panthers in March 2022 after unsuccessful stops in Houston and Tennessee. He had the most productive season of his […]

Ja Morant To Miss At Least Two Games

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant will be "away from the team for at least the next two games," according to a statement released by the organization. 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. While cutting him will cost $1.64 million against the salary cap, New England is confident in the duo of Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe, […]

Robbie Gould Plans To Test Free Agency

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. The 25-year-old logged 19 minutes in this one, finishing with six points, six rebounds, two blocks and a steal before being ruled out in the second half. Head coach Joe Mazzulla couldn't […]

Donovan Wilson Deal Unlikely

Upcoming free-agent safety Donovan Wilson isn't expected to return to Dallas, according to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

With the Cowboys looking to secure new agreements with Tony Pollard, […]

Jessie Bates III Not Expected Back In Cincinnati

Cincinnati Bengals safety Jessie Bates III isn't expected to return to the team, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. After months of unsuccessful contract negotiations, the 26-year-old played under the franchise tag during the 2022-23 campaign, finishing with 71 total tackles, the fewest of his career. While Bates was a primary defensive contributor in the […]

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. The 27-year-old signed a one-year, $2 million contract last offseason to remain in Dallas and finished the 2022-23 campaign with 90 total tackles, the second-most on the team behind safety Donovan […]

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 […]

Jalen Duren To Miss Another Game On Saturday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, marking his fourth consecutive absence. Isaiah Stewart (hip) is also out, so James Wiseman will presumably remain in the starting lineup, with Marvin Bagley III also expected to see more minutes. Wiseman has averaged 13.3 points and 8.7 rebounds in three […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Won't Suit Up On Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) won't suit up on Saturday versus Cleveland. The veteran logged 39 minutes against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, so he may be getting a game off to rest before returning for Monday's meeting with Portland. That said, Detroit will be undermanned on Saturday, with Alec Burks (foot), Jalen […]

Ben Simmons Experiences Back Soreness During Rehab

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) experienced back soreness during rehab this week. The 26-year-old has missed the last four games with a nagging knee issue. However, the latest setback only adds more uncertainty concerning whether he can make it back in 2022-23. Simmons is easily having the worst season of his career, averaging 6.9 […]

Kawhi Leonard Getting The Night Off On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Friday evening versus the Sacramento Kings. It's the second of back-to-back outings for LA, so the veteran will get to rest after playing 31 minutes in Thursday's meeting with Golden State. Norman Powell (shoulder) and Marcus Morris Sr. (elbow) are also out, while Ivica Zubac […]

Cam Reddish Back In The Starting Lineup On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Cam Reddish will start on Friday versus the Atlanta Hawks. Anfernee Simons is back on the injury report, so Reddish will roll with the first five against his former squad. The 23-year-old has averaged 11.2 points in 1.3 steals in 14 starts this season, so he'll be worth a look for […]

Jaylen Brown Available Versus Brooklyn

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (face) is available on Friday night versus the Brooklyn Nets. Brown has been a routine occupant on the injury report because of the facial fracture suffered before the All-Star break. However, he'll be good to go and expected to see a full workload, meaning significantly fewer minutes for Sam Hauser […]
