Dennis Smith Jr. Out On Monday Night

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dennis Smith Jr. entered health and safety protocols and won't play on Monday night against Dallas.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Khem Birch will not play on Sunday versus the Cavaliers. He had been battling a right knee issue and was potentially nearing a return.
