New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (neck) will warm up with the intention to play Thursday against Golden State.

Maxi Kleber To Return To Action Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (toe, nose) is set to return to the lineup for Friday's battle with Boston. He skipped the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus Toronto.

Luka Doncic In Danger Of Missing Friday's Game

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Friday's intriguing matchup against Boston.

Phoenix Suns forward Nassir Little (knee) isn't available for Thursday's matchup against Houston. The 24-year-old is dealing with inflammation in his left knee.

New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin showed the Columbus Blue Jackets what they are missing on Wednesday, notching three points in a 4-1 win.

Bryan Rust Considered Week-To-Week

Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Bryan Rust (upper body) is considered week-to-week.
