Dejounte Murray Considered Questionable For Friday

Tyrese Maxey On Track To Return Friday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (hip) isn't on the injury report for Friday's matchup against Orlando. He missed Tuesday's clash against Detroit with left hip tightness.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) carries a questionable tag ahead of Friday's clash with Orlando. The reigning MVP has sat out one game since his return to the lineup, but that was in a back-to-back situation, so it appears likely that Embiid will take the court against the Magic.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (personal) won't be available on Thursday versus Sacramento. He comes out of the lineup for personal reasons after playing in each of the last 12 games.

Alex Caruso Ready To Face Detroit

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) has received the all-clear for Thursday's matchup against Detroit. The team has upgraded him from probable to available.

Cade Cunningham Misses Thursday's Game

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) won't be available for Thursday's matchup against Chicago.

Klay Thompson Unavailable Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Klay Thompson (knee) won't play against Portland on Thursday.

Jordan Kyrou Scores Twice In Wednesday's Win

St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou scored two goals as the team defeated Chicago 5-2 on Wednesday. He potted a pair of quick goals at the start of the game to boost his season's total to 29.

Simone Fontecchio Remains Sidelined Thursday

Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) has been ruled out for a 13th straight game on Thursday versus Chicago.

Chimezie […]

Cade Cunningham Carries Questionable Tag Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Chicago.

Andre Drummond Doubtful For Thursday's Action

Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (ankle) is considered doubtful to play against the Pistons on Thursday.
