Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's tilt against the Warriors. He was already unlikely to play after picking up a doubtful tag due to a sore right knee.

Deni Avdija Available Versus Portland

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (migraine) will play against Portland on Friday. After leaving the previous game due to a migraine, he was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. With Kyle Kuzma (ankle) sidelined, Avdija should get extra usage offensively in a good matchup against one of the league's bottom-dwellers. Since the All-Star […]

Keldon Johnson Remains Out On Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Keldon Johnson (foot) will remain on the shelf on Friday versus New Orleans. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out, meaning Johnson will be unavailable for a third consecutive game.
