Maxi Kleber Probable Once Again

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (Achilles) is probable for the Game 5 matchup against the Clippers.

Bertans suffered a Grade 2 right calf strain during Monday's win over the 76ers and likely won't be available for the remainder of the year, assuming the Wizards don't advance deeper into the postseason. Without him, Rui Hachimura and Robin Lopez, […]

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is doubtful for Game 5 against Washington.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (groin) was held out of Tuesday's matchup against Phoenix. The 28-year-old is currently dealing with a left groin strain in addition to a sore left knee. While he was observed warming up before Game 5, he ultimately wasn't healthy enough to suit up. His status for Game 6 is […]

Seth Curry Probable For Game 5

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against Washington. Curry sprained his left ankle in Game 2 of the series, and although he has appeared in the league's injury report ever since, he hasn't missed any time. The 30-year-old logged 28 minutes during the Game 4 loss on Monday night, finishing […]

Jose Quintana Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Quintana (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Chris Owings Making Progress

Colorado Rockies second baseman Chris Owings (thumb) is "getting closer" to returning to the lineup, according to manager Bud Black.

Owings has looked good this season despite only appearing in a limited capacity […]

Jeff Hoffman Not Expected Back Anytime Soon

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment near the end of June. Hoffman is currently on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder impingement, which he suffered during his most recent start against Washington. The 28-year-old owns a 3-4 record to go along with a 4.61 ERA throughout 10 starts […]

Good News For Trevor Story

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story's (elbow) MRI came back clean, revealing no structural damage.

Stephen Strasburg Leaves Tuesday’s Game Against Braves

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg exited Tuesday's matchup against the Braves with an undisclosed injury. The veteran was nailed by a William Contreras' comeback and was observed flexing his left hand. The 32-year-old also appeared to favor his shoulder during the contest and seemingly had issues with his velocity throughout. More information is likely […]

Trevor Williams Lands On 10-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Trevor Williams (appendicitis) was placed on the 10-day injured list. This isn't a surprise, primarily since he was pulled from his scheduled start on Monday to have an emergency appendectomy. The 29-year-old has a 5.36 ERA and a 3-2 record this season, so fantasy managers who still have him on the […]

Matt Duffy Working Toward Return

Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Duffy (back) has recently been doing some light swinging. The 30-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list while tending to a lower back strain and is eligible to come off soon.

PJ Dozier Out On Tuesday As Expected

Denver Nuggets guard PJ Dozier (hip) is out for the Game 5 matchup against Portland. Dozier has been out since the beginning of May due to a strained right adductor, so his absence was more than expected. Without him, Facundo Campazzo, Austin Rivers, and Monte Morris should all continue to handle most of the work […]

Will Barton Out Again On Tuesday Evening

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) is out for Game 5 against Portland.

He was observed riding the bike on the sidelines during the Game 4 loss to the Blazers, which is good news, […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Questionable On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Phoenix.

If the 28-year-old isn't in uniform for Game 5, veteran Wesley […]

Chris Paul Likely To Play Against Lakers

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (shoulder) will likely play on Tuesday against the Lakers. The 36-year-old injured his right shoulder earlier in the series, and while there were rumblings he wouldn't be available for Game 4, he managed to play and finish with a team-high 18 points. With head coach Monty Williams allotting heavy minutes […]
