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.

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.

De'Andre Hunter Rested Versus Hornets

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (rest) will miss Wednesday's game against Charlotte.

He's sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report.

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.

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.

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.

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.
