Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) won't play on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons.

Tyler Herro Cleared to Play Saturday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) will play on Saturday against the Washington Wizards. The team has upgraded his status from probable to available. After back-to-back 30-point games, Herro slowed down on Wednesday against Boston, but he has an excellent fantasy matchup on Saturday. The Wizards are probably still having nightmares of Bam Adebayo dropping […]

Marcus Sasser Probable to Face 76ers Saturday

Detroit Pistons point guard Marcus Sasser (hip) is considered probable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 25-year-old is nursing a right hip strain but will likely be available to make his sixth consecutive appearance.

Tristan Vukcevic Iffy for Saturday

Washington Wizards forward/center Tristan Vukcevic (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Miami Heat.

Young made five appearances with his new squad before sustaining a right quadriceps contusion in mid-March. He is also dealing with lower back pain.

Victor Wembanyama Available to Face Nuggets Saturday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) hasn't been included on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. With San Antonio playing its second game in as many nights, Wembanyama sat out Thursday's matchup with the Clippers. Wembanyama has been a beast lately, posting 41 points in each of his last […]

Pascal Siakam Exits Early Friday Due to Back Injury

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (back) didn't finish Friday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets.

Spencer Jones Out Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Spencer Jones (hamstring) will miss a second straight game on Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Likely to Play Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (knee) is probable for Saturday's clash against the San Antonio Spurs. The 13-year veteran couldn't finish Wednesday's matchup with Utah due to a sore left knee, but it looks like the issue won't keep Hardaway Jr. off the court this weekend.
