Morgan Geekie Won't Play Sunday

Boston Bruins forward Morgan Geekie (personal) won't play on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He left Saturday's 10-2 win over the New York Rangers early to attend to a family matter, and Geekie isn't ready to rejoin the lineup against Pittsburgh.

Kristaps Porzingis May Return Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) is considered questionable for an encounter with the Golden State Warriors on Sunday.

Kevin Porter Jr. Considered Probable for Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (hip) is listed as probable for Sunday's tilt against the Denver Nuggets.

Jamal Murray Iffy for Sunday's Action

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) is questionable to suit up on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
