Cam Thomas Resting on Thursday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) won't play on Thursday in Denver. The Nets will then travel to Utah to meet the Jazz on Friday night, so Thomas will presumably be back for that contest.

Kawhi Leonard Will Face Brooklyn on Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee, illness) is available against the Nets. The multi-time All-Star isn't feeling well while also dealing with a left knee contusion.

Brooklyn Nets guard Nolan Traore (illness) won't play on Sunday against the Clippers. The rookie had a career-high 21 points in Friday's double-overtime loss to the Boston Celtics.

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Against Memphis

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) won't play on Sunday against Memphis. The 30-year-old played on Friday versus the Bucks, the second of a back-to-back.

RJ Barrett Starting on Friday

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (ankle) will play on Friday against Portland. He's missed the last seven games because of a sprained ankle. While the former Duke Blue Devil will probably be limited in his first game back from the extended layoff, he'll return to his usual role in the starting lineup. Barrett was averaging […]

Christian Braun Remains Sidelined on Thursday

Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun (ankle) remains out on Thursday versus the Washington Wizards.

Jalen Suggs Questionable Versus Charlotte

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against Charlotte. He's missed seven contests because of his latest ailment, a right knee contusion.

However, the 21-year-old will miss his first contest of the 2025 campaign because of hamstring tightness. Ware hasn't seen much action of late, averaging 20 minutes in January. Still, his absence should allow Nikola Jovic […]
