Alex Caruso Out Monday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (hand) is out for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Caruso has played 24 or more minutes in two of the last three games.

Larry Nance Jr. Has Surgery On Finger

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (finger) underwent surgery on Monday and is expected to miss approximately six weeks.

Al-Farouq Aminu Is Off The Injury Report

Orlando Magic forward Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) is officially off the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against Portland.

Nassir Little Ruled Out For Tuesday Against Magic

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (knee) won't play against the Magic on Tuesday. Little last played on Feb. 1.

Jarrett Allen Starting For Injured Larry Nance Jr.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is starting Monday against the Suns with Larry Nance Jr. (finger) sidelined for approximately six weeks.

Both Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (knee) and tight end Cameron Brate (back) are expected to play in Sunday's Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.
