Unfortunately, he logged only 14 minutes before re-aggravating the issue, finishing the […]

Collin Sexton Injured in Loss to Knicks

Charlotte Hornets guard Collin Sexton (thigh) exited Wednesday's loss to the New York Knicks. He did not return. With LaMelo Ball (wrist) available, Sexton came off the bench.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Suffers Calf Injury on Wednesday Night

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) won't return to Wednesday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. He was listed on the injury report but was able to suit up.

LaMelo Ball Good to Go on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (wrist) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. The 2020 No. 3 overall pick has been listed on the injury report plenty of times throughout the 2025 campaign, mostly due to ankle issues. However, wrist soreness won't be enough to keep him off the floor, and he'll now suit […]

Nikola Jokic Available on Wednesday Night

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) is available to suit up for Wednesday's matchup with Indiana. He was listed as probable due to a left wrist sprain, an issue that's bothered him throughout the 2025 campaign. Fortunately, fantasy managers won't see him miss his first game of the season.

Devin Booker Out at Least One Week

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) will miss at least one week after suffering a groin strain during the win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. That means fantasy managers won't have him in the lineup for upcoming meetings with the Rockets, Timberwolves, and Thunder. However, there's certainly a good chance his absence […]

Duncan Robinson Absent Against Atlanta

Detroit Pistons guard Duncan Robinson (ankle) won't play on Monday against Atlanta. The 31-year-old hasn't missed a game this season.

[…]

Jalen Duren Back in the Lineup on Monday Evening

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (leg) will play on Monday versus the Hawks after sitting out Saturday's 138-135 win over the Miami Heat.

Noah Clowney Cleared to Play Versus Charlotte

The 2024 No. 2 overall pick has had a quality 2025 campaign, averaging 19.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks, all career-highs. He missed two games over a week ago because of a toe injury, although, this time, he'll […]

Andre Drummond Available Versus Atlanta

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (knee) will play on Sunday versus the Hawks. He was listed as questionable, although the knee contusion won't be enough to keep him off the floor. However, with Joel Embiid (knee) returning from his nine-game absence, Drummond will head back to the bench, significantly lowering his fantasy ceiling.

VJ Edgecombe Cleared to Suit Up on Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers forward VJ Edgecombe (hamstring) will play on Sunday against Atlanta after missing the last three games. The rookie has played well in his inaugural year, averaging 15.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 36.6% from behind the arc.

Craig Porter Jr. Available on Sunday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Craig Porter Jr. (hamstring) will play on Sunday night against Boston after missing the last three games because of a strained left hamstring. The Cavs will be without Jarrett Allen (finger), Lonzo Ball (knee), Sam Merrill (hand), and Larry Nance Jr. (calf), meaning there will be minutes up for grabs. While Porter […]

Trey Murphy III Out Again on Sunday Night

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (elbow) won't play on Sunday night against the Lakers, marking his second-straight absence. The Pelicans are hurting, with Zion Williamson (hamstring), Jordan Poole (quadriceps), Herbert Jones (calf), and Jordan Hawkins (illness) also on the shelf. As a result, fantasy managers can anticipate more production from Jose Alvarado, Saddiq […]

Zion Williamson Resting Against the Lakers

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hamstring) won't play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. The former Duke Blue Devil has played relatively well since returning from a stint on the shelf caused by a hamstring injury.

Lonzo Ball Out on Sunday Versus Boston

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Lonzo Ball (knee) won't play on Sunday against Boston. As expected, he'll sit out on Sunday night, the first of back-to-back games, before presumably suiting up on Monday night versus the Indiana Pacers.

Alex Caruso Won't Suit Up Against Portland

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (quadriceps) won't play in Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 31-year-old is quite familiar with the NBA's injury report.

Donovan Clingan Sidelined on Sunday

Jarrett Allen Won't Play Against Boston

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (finger) won't play on Sunday versus the Boston Celtics. Allen returned from a three-game absence caused by a finger sprain for Friday's NBA Cup loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Kristaps Porzingis Still Under the Weather

Atlanta Hawks center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't play on Sunday night versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite a decline in production, the veteran has played well enough to be considered an everyday fantasy option, averaging 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks. However, he'll now miss his ninth game of the 2025 campaign, which includes a […]

LeBron James Taking the Night Off on Sunday

P.J. Washington Ruled Out Versus Clippers

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game against the Clippers. The 27-year-old was in line to suit up. However, he injured his ankle during pre-game warmups and was ruled out after the contest started. The Mavericks were already down Anthony Davis (calf), Dereck Lively II (foot), and Daniel Gafford (foot), meaning […]

Trae Young "Progressing Well," Will be Re-Evaluated in Two Weeks

According ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk, Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) is "progressing well" in his recovery from a sprained right MCL and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
