Brandon Clarke Done For The Year

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Brandon Clarke (Achilles) will miss the remainder of the season. Clarke suffered a non-contact injury in the first quarter of Friday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets and didn't return. The most recent update isn't good, with the 26-year-old suffering a left Achilles tear. He signed a four-year, $52 contract extension during the […]

Brian Hoyer Expected To Be Cut By The Pats

According to Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio, the Patriots are expected to part ways with quarterback Brian Hoyer. The veteran is entering the second of a two-year, $4 million contract.

Robbie Gould Plans To Test Free Agency

Impending free-agent kicker Robbie Gould isn't returning to San Francisco, with the 40-year-old informing ESPN's Adam Schefter that he'll "be kicking elsewhere in 2023." Gould already scoffed at retirement rumors in February, so it appears he's in line to suit up for a new team for his 19th year in the National Football League. The […]

Tua Tagovailoa Not In Miami's Long-Term Plans?

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa still hasn't had his fifth-year option guaranteed by the team. The Fins also haven't inked the signal-caller to a long-term extension. However, there may be a reason, with Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reporting that the "organization will explore all options at quarterback." The 23-year-old is coming off the best […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Still On Cowboys' Wish List

Free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) hasn't played since tearing his ACL in Super Bowl LVI. While there were clubs interested in signing the veteran wideout once he was healthy enough to return at the end of last season, it never happened. Instead, Beckham remained out to focus on his rehabilitation efforts. However, it […]

Isaiah Livers Expected To Play Versus Cleveland

Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers (ankle) is probable for Saturday's Central Division meeting with Cleveland. Livers only missed one game after suffering a sprained left ankle on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. But it appears he'll be good to go, which is good news, considering Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (hip) are sidelined for […]

Monte Morris Out Again Versus The Raptors

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (back) remains out for Saturday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. Morris will now miss his fourth straight contest because of low back soreness, meaning Delon Wright will take his sport in the rotation. Wright has averaged 7.4 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 boards, and 1.4 steals in five starts this season, […]

Norman Powell Out For At Least One Week

Los Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (shoulder) is out for at least one week. The 29-year-old sustained a left shoulder subluxation during the loss to the Warriors on Thursday evening. He'll need treatment before being reevaluated, so it's certainly possible he'll be out longer. Powell has averaged 16.6 points while shooting 41.0% from deep this […]

Robert Williams III Doesn't Return On Friday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (hamstring) exited Friday's 115-105 loss to the Brooklyn Nets because of hamstring tightness. He did not return.

Donovan Wilson Deal Unlikely

Upcoming free-agent safety Donovan Wilson isn't expected to return to Dallas, according to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Cincinnati Bengals safety Jessie Bates III isn't expected to return to the team, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

While Bates was a primary defensive contributor in the […]

No Movement On Leighton Vander Esch Talks

According to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys have made "no progress" with linebacker Leighton Vander Esch on a new deal.

Alec Burks Won't Play Against The Cavs

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (foot) won't play on Saturday against Cleveland. Detroit will also be without Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), Isaiah Stewart (hip), and Jalen Duren (ankle), so Killian Hayes, Hamidou Diallo, and Jaden Ivey could see a significant uptick on the scoring end. At the same time, James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley III should […]

Isaiah Stewart To Remain Sidelined Versus Cleveland

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (hip) isn't available for Saturday's meeting with the Cavaliers. The 21-year-old will miss his third consecutive contest, joining Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles), Alec Burks (foot), and Jalen Duren (ankle) on the shelf for this one. As a result, James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley III should get most of the minutes up […]

Jalen Duren To Miss Another Game On Saturday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, marking his fourth consecutive absence. Isaiah Stewart (hip) is also out, so James Wiseman will presumably remain in the starting lineup, with Marvin Bagley III also expected to see more minutes. Wiseman has averaged 13.3 points and 8.7 rebounds in three […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Won't Suit Up On Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) won't suit up on Saturday versus Cleveland. The veteran logged 39 minutes against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, so he may be getting a game off to rest before returning for Monday's meeting with Portland. That said, Detroit will be undermanned on Saturday, with Alec Burks (foot), Jalen […]

Ben Simmons Experiences Back Soreness During Rehab

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) experienced back soreness during rehab this week. The 26-year-old has missed the last four games with a nagging knee issue. However, the latest setback only adds more uncertainty concerning whether he can make it back in 2022-23. Simmons is easily having the worst season of his career, averaging 6.9 […]

Kawhi Leonard Getting The Night Off On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Friday evening versus the Sacramento Kings. It's the second of back-to-back outings for LA, so the veteran will get to rest after playing 31 minutes in Thursday's meeting with Golden State. Norman Powell (shoulder) and Marcus Morris Sr. (elbow) are also out, while Ivica Zubac […]

Cam Reddish Back In The Starting Lineup On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Cam Reddish will start on Friday versus the Atlanta Hawks. Anfernee Simons is back on the injury report, so Reddish will roll with the first five against his former squad. The 23-year-old has averaged 11.2 points in 1.3 steals in 14 starts this season, so he'll be worth a look for […]

Jaylen Brown Available Versus Brooklyn

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (face) is available on Friday night versus the Brooklyn Nets. Brown has been a routine occupant on the injury report because of the facial fracture suffered before the All-Star break. However, he'll be good to go and expected to see a full workload, meaning significantly fewer minutes for Sam Hauser […]

Stephen Curry Expects To Play On Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (leg) expects to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 34-year-old, who has missed nearly a month because of a leg injury, has averaged 17.5 points, 5.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.6 steals this season while shooting 43.7% from deep. While the Warriors are looking to make […]

Jonathan Isaac Done For The Season

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (groin) will miss the remainder of the season. The 25-year-old underwent surgery on Friday to repair a torn left adductor muscle, resulting in a premature end to another season. Isaac had played only 11 games in 2022-23 after being sidelined since the 2019-20 campaign because of knee and hamstring injuries, […]

Devin Vassell Resting Against The Rockets

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (knee) won't play on Saturday against the Rockets. Vassell returned on Thursday versus the Indiana Pacers after missing two months because of left knee surgery. He played well, finishing the evening with 18 points in 23 minutes from the bench. Vassell will likely be back in the lineup for […]

Keldon Johnson Doubtful On Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (foot) isn't expected to play on Saturday versus the Houston Rockets.

The Spurs are banged up entering this one, with Doug McDermott (thumb), Devin […]

Trae Young Probable Versus Portland

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (groin) is expected to play on Friday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 24-year-old is listed as probable on the injury report because of right groin soreness. However, barring a significant setback, he should be out there. Young has played well of late, scoring 31 points or more in […]

P.J. Washington Not Expected To Play On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (foot) is considered doubtful ahead of Friday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. This will presumably be his fourth consecutive absence as he works his way back from a strained right foot. In the meantime, JT Thor is expected to remain in the starting lineup. Thor hasn't played well in his […]

Kristaps Porzingis Removed From The Injury Report

Washington Wizards forward Kristaps Porzingis (knee) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's meeting with Toronto. The veteran missed the last two games with left knee soreness, allowing Deni Avdija to enter the starting lineup. However, Avidja struggled while Porzingis was sidelined, combining for only 12 points, so his return to the bench […]

Monte Morris Out Again On Thursday

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (back) is out for Thursday's contest versus the visiting Toronto Raptors, marking his third straight absence because of low back soreness. Delon Wright has been starting in Morris' place, with the 30-year-old going for nine points, four assists, and one block against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday evening. That said, […]

Anfernee Simons Could Return On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans. The 23-year-old has missed his last three games because of a right ankle sprain. However, Simons was expected to be out longer, so it looks like he's close to returning, even if he doesn't get the green […]

D'Angelo Russell Won't Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Wednesday night versus Oklahoma City. The 27-year-old will now miss his third consecutive contest, with his next chance to suit up coming on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
