Tim Hardaway Jr. Will Not Play Against The Warriors

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) will not play in Thursday's contest against Golden State.

Ausar Thompson (illness) will take over Hardaway Jr.'s spot in the starting unit. Thompson […]

Bruce Brown Out On Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will not play on Thursday against Cleveland. After playing in each of the last three games, Brown will sit out Thursday's action for knee management purposes. The 28-year-old has appeared in only five games this season, providing 5.4 points in 18.0 minutes, so he won't be a significant miss […]

Davion Mitchell Available Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard Davion Mitchell (calf) will be active against Cleveland on Thursday. He has been upgraded from probable to available. Mitchell has not been part of the regular rotation lately but might have a role on Thursday due to the absences of Ochai Agbaji (back) and Bruce Brown (knee).

Filip Chytil Will Not Play Thursday

New York Rangers center Filip Chytil (upper body) will not suit up for Thursday's clash against New Jersey. He left Tuesday's games against Boston with an upper-body injury and hasn't been able to practice. The injury-prone forward has contributed 10 goals and seven assists in 33 appearances this term. As a result of Chytil's injury, […]

Igor Shesterkin Returns To Rangers Crease Thursday

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin (upper body) will return from a four-game absence on Thursday against New Jersey.

John Collins Out On Thursday

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (hip) will not suit up against Miami on Thursday. He has appeared in only one of the last eight games and will miss another due to a hip issue.

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (face) is questionable for Thursday's contest against Phoenix.

Trae Young Probable Thursday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) continues to carry a probable tag on the injury report ahead of Thursday's encounter with Phoenix. It's safe to assume he will be good to go for his ninth consecutive appearance. Young is fresh off his third 20-20 game of the season, which included an incredible half-court game-winning […]

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's matchup against Houston.
