Jonathan Isaac Not Ready To Return On Thursday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (illness) will miss a second straight game on Thursday versus Utah.

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.

Trevor Zegras Nearing Return

Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras (ankle) has ditched crushes and is expected to resume on-ice activities soon. He's been out since early January when Zegras broke his left ankle. The talented centerman has struggled for form in 2023-24, registering seven points (four goals, three assists) in 20 games, and we might actually have seen the […]

Bryan Rust Considered Week-To-Week

Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Bryan Rust (upper body) is considered week-to-week. He stayed home at the start of the week as Pittsburgh began a four-game road trip, and it's possible these will not end up as being the only games Rust misses. Reilly Smith has a positive debut as Rust's replacement on the first line […]

Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond notched 17 points and rocked the glass with 26 rebounds in Wednesday's 132-123 double-overtime win against the Cavaliers.

Josh Richardson Remains Sidelined For Finals Rematch

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) won't be available for Thursday's matchup against Denver. This will mark his sixth straight absence.

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) has been downgraded to out for Thursday's NBA Finals rematch against the Nuggets. The veteran hurt his right heel against Portland on Tuesday.

Derrick Rose Limited To Six Minutes Due To Sore Back

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Derrick Rose left Wednesday's contest against Minnesota early due to back soreness, logging only six minutes.

Andre Jackson Jr. Listed As Questionable For Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Andre Jackson Jr. (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against Charlotte. He'll need to overcome an illness to be available for the contest.

MarJon Beauchamp Probable For Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (illness) is probable for Thursday's matchup against Charlotte. The 23-year-old is battling an illness but is expected to suit up.

CJ McCollum Back For Pelicans Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) will return to the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Pacers. He has been upgraded to available after initially being questionable for the matchup. McCollum has missed two games with a left ankle sprain. His return comes in a great spot because Pacers games tend to be very […]

Brandon Ingram Will Play Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) will play against Indiana on Wednesday. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game after injuring his right ankle on Tuesday versus the Knicks. Ingram was hurt early in the game but still came through with 24 points in 34 minutes, adding six rebounds, five assists, and […]

Zion Williamson Cleared For Action Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson (foot) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's clash with the Pacers.

He has upped his averages to […]

Maxi Kleber Won't Play Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (nose, toe) won't be in action on Wednesday versus Toronto. He comes out of the lineup after playing 27 minutes against Cleveland on Tuesday.

Dereck Lively II Good To Go Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (nose) will play on Wednesday against the Raptors. This will be his fifth consecutive appearance after returning to the lineup following a nose surgery, but the team has kept him on the injury report with a nasal fracture. Lively II saw 22 minutes against a big Cleveland lineup on […]

Luka Doncic Available Versus Toronto

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) has been upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's contest against Toronto. The NBA's leading scorer will take the court for a second consecutive night after putting up 45 points against Cleveland on Tuesday. Doncic is averaging a near triple-double for the month and should have plenty of fun against […]

Dante Exum Back In Action Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will return to action on Wednesday versus Toronto. He'll be returning after a 13-game absence. It's not completely clear which role Exum will have, as there have been a lot of changes in Dallas since the last time he saw action. It's likely Exum will also be limited minutes-wise […]

Ben Simmons Available On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) will be available for Thursday's contest against Atlanta. He was rested on Tuesday when the Nets completed a back-to-back in Orlando. Simmons could get back into the starting lineup for Thursday's tilt with Cam Thomas (ankle) on the shelf. The versatile Australian has averaged 6.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and […]
