San Antonio Spurs forward Cedi Osman (ankle) will be back in the lineup on Sunday against Brooklyn. The team has upgraded Osman from questionable to available. 28-year-old will return from a four-game absence.

Tobias Harris Questionable For Monday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against Miami.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (hand) won't feature against Washington on Sunday. The C's kick off a back-to-back in D.C., and White will be kept out of the lineup with a left-hand sprain.

Deni Avdija Remains Out On Sunday

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) will sit out a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Boston. He was a late scratch on Saturday against Chicago and will miss another game with a right knee contusion. Avdija's absence is set to give Corey Kispert another start.

MarJon Beauchamp Questionable To Play Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (back) carries a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's matchup against Phoenix. He's been battling back spasms lately and could be unavailable for a third straight game. Beauchaump's absence wouldn't typically hurt Milwaukee, but Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) and Malik Beasley (back) are also questionable for Sunday. The 23-year-old would be a […]

Khris Middleton On Track To Return Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's contest against Phoenix, which signals he's ready to return to the lineup. Middleton last played on Feb. 6 and has missed the past 16 games with a left ankle sprain. Jae Crowder has been filling in for him in the starting unit […]

Tyus Jones Won't Play Against Chicago

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's clash with the Bulls. He was already doubtful for the game with lower back spasms, so Jones' absence won't come as a surprise. Impressively, he had so far featured in every game for Washington this season. Jordan Poole has started to rebuild […]

Jordan Clarkson Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game as the team gets ready to face Minnesota on Saturday night. The versatile scorer is battling a groin strain.

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (rest) won't be in the lineup on Saturday against Minnesota. After playing in every game since Dec. 18, Collins will sit out the matchup for rest purposes.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) isn't ready to make his return to the lineup on Saturday against Minnesota, missing a sixth consecutive game.

Richaun Holmes Set To Return On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward/center Richaun Holmes (toe) will return from a three-game absence on Saturday against Chicago.

He will face a tough challenge […]

Deni Avdija Good To Go Versus Chicago
