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.

Draymond Green Questionable Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (knee) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Portland.

Markelle Fultz Good To Go Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) will play on Wednesday against the Bucks. He has been upgraded from questionable to available.

Franz Wagner Remains Out On Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Franz Wagner has been ruled out for a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Milwaukee. He was initially listed as questionable for the contest.

Josh Green Returns From 12-Game Absence

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Josh Green (ankle) has been cleared to return to action against Miami on Wednesday. Green hasn't played since March 14, and there were even fears of him being done for the rest of the regular season, but the 23-year-old is available again on Wednesday after missing 12 games. Green hasn't made a […]

De'Andre Hunter Rested Versus Hornets

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (rest) will miss Wednesday's game against Charlotte. He comes out of the lineup for rest purposes after logging 47 minutes in a double-overtime game against Miami on Tuesday.

Dejounte Murray Won't Play On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Wednesday's clash with the Hornets. He's sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Murray's exit from the lineup coincides with Trae Young's (finger) return, although the Hawks star will be playing with a […]

Terry Rozier Misses Second Consecutive Game

Miami Heat point guard Terry Rozier (neck) will remain out on Wednesday against Dallas. The team has downgraded Rozier from questionable to out, meaning he misses a second consecutive game. Duncan Robinson (back) is still out as well, giving Tyler Herro massive usage on the backcourt. He shot 13-for-25 en route to a game-high 33 […]

Trae Young Returning With Minutes Restriction

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (finger) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against Charlotte but will carry a minutes restriction. It's unclear how many minutes he will get in his first action in 24 games, but the team will be delighted to see him back, with the play-in tournament starting next week. Young's return […]

Cameron Johnson Ready To Face Raptors

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (toe) is ready to rejoin the action on Wednesday against the Raptors. He will jump back into the lineup after missing two games with a toe sprain.

Nicolas Claxton Back In Action Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) will return to the court on Wednesday versus Toronto. He missed Sunday's blowout loss to Sacramento with an ankle sprain.

Kawhi Leonard Not Ready To Return On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will sit out a sixth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Phoenix. Leonard has yet to see any action this month after previously missing only six games this season. P.J. Tucker and Norman Powell have picked up starts in his place. The former started three straight games before completely […]

Paul George Sitting Out Wednesday's Action

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's rematch with the Suns. He had 23 points across 39 minutes on Tuesday against Phoenix but sits out the second leg of a back-to-back with a sore left knee. George's absence opens the door for Amir Coffey to enter the starting unit. […]

James Harden Remains Out On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) will miss a second consecutive contest on Wednesday against Phoenix. The former MVP is dealing with right foot inflammation as the regular season is starting to draw to a close.

Philipp Grubauer Establishes New Record With 39-Save Shutout

Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer had one of his most enjoyable nights at the office this season on Tuesday, shutting out Arizona in a 5-0 win.

Mason McTavish Might Be Done For The Season

Anaheim Ducks forward Mason McTavish (knee) could be out for the rest of the season. He has missed three games and Anaheim has three more to come.

Andrew Copp Suffers Broken Cheekbone

Detroit Red Wings center Andrew Copp suffered a broken cheekbone in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Washington. He was injured late in the game on a high stick that went uncalled by the officials.
