Mikal Bridges Struggles On Monday Evening

Brooklyn Nets forward Mikal Bridges struggled in Monday's loss to the 76ers. Philly had his number all night, limiting him to 6-for-15 shooting from the field and 2-for-8 shooting from deep. Fortunately, he went 7-for-9 from the charity stripe and added seven assists, five rebounds, and a steal, so DFS managers still got something from […]

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. was named the 2022-23 NBA Defensive Player of the Year on Monday night.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hand) suffered a broken right hand in the Game 1 matchup against Milwaukee.

Klay Thompson Expects Max Extension This Summer

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson expects a max contract extension this summer. The 33-year-old averaged 21.9 points and shot 41.2% from deep this season (69 games), so he's certainly worth it from a production standpoint. However, he's battled injuries over the years and has missed more than enough time […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Exits Game 1 With Injury

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (undisclosed) exited Sunday's Game 1 meeting against Miami. The Freak took a hard fall in the first quarter while going for a basket and came down hard.

According to Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins, X-rays were negative on Ja Morant (hand). The 23-year-old was injured in the fourth quarter of the Game 1 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

But he'll now need to see a specialist, which is never an encouraging sign. Kelly had […]

Ryan Tepera Placed On The 15-Day IL

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Ryan Tepera landed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. The right-hander exited Saturday's matchup with the Red Sox and will now go on the shelf because of shoulder inflammation. Tepera has struggled this season, sporting a 1-1 record with two holds.

He also homered, smashing a 401-foot shot to right field for his third of the […]

Alec Burleson Day-To-Day

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Alec Burleson (shin) exited Sunday's meeting with the Pirates. He suffered a contusion after fouling a ball off his right shin, so hopefully, this won't turn into a trip to the injured list. The 24-year-old has gone 12-for-41 this season with four doubles, four RBI, and a home run. Although he's […]

Gerrit Cole Strikes Out 10 On Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole was dominant on Saturday in the win over the Twins. The righty threw a complete game.

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith (illness) will remain out of the lineup on Sunday against the Cubs.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo led his team to a 3-2 win over Oakland on Saturday. The 30-year-old went 2-for-4.

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso had another productive outing in Saturday's 3-2 win over the A's. The slugger went 1-for-4 with an RBI, which was made up of a 421-foot shot to left in the fourth inning. He now has eight dingers in 2023, tying him with Rafael Devers for the most in […]

Francisco Lindor Cools Off On Saturday

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor cooled off in Saturday's win over the Athletics. The 29-year-old had seven RBI and a homer in the 17-6 rout over Oakland on Friday.

Kerry Hyder Jr. Re-Signs With The 49ers

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the 49ers re-signed defensive end Kerry Hyder Jr. on Friday. The 31-year-old appeared in 16 games for San Francisco during the 2022-23 campaign, totaling 19 tackles and one sack. He's not expected to be an every-down defensive option this season, so his IDP upside remains severely restricted. However, Hyder […]

Easop Winston Jr. Waived By The Seahawks

According to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, the Seahawks released wide receiver Easop Winston Jr. on Saturday. The 26-year-old has bounced around the league since going undrafted in 2020. However, he's appeared in only three games during his career, amassing just one catch for five yards. He was also utilized as a punt returner. There's a […]

According to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques, free-agent wide receiver Chosen Anderson has agreed to a contract with Miami. The 29-year-old had 13 receptions for 206 yards and a touchdown in six games with Carolina last season. However, he was traded to Arizona halfway through the year after an in-game argument with interim head coach Steve Wilks […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Off The Injury Report

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of the series opener against Phoenix. Head coach Ty Lue reported on Friday that Morris is healthy.

Karl-Anthony Towns Not On The Injury Report

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) isn't listed on the league's official injury report ahead of the Game 1 matchup with Denver.

Rudy Gobert Questionable For Playoff Opener
