Scotty Pippen Jr. Questionable To Face Thunder

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (shin) is questionable for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City. After being out for a month with a back problem, Pippen Jr. made his return to the lineup in Wednesday's clash with Charlotte, but he's picked up a new ailment. The 23-year-old has landed on the injury report with […]

Santi Aldama Questionable For Saturday's Game

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (elbow) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Thunder. After making 16 consecutive appearances, Aldama missed Wednesday's matchup against Charlotte with a sore left elbow. His absence provided a further boost to GG Jackson II's growing fantasy stock. The 19-year-old rookie led his team with 26 points against the […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Iffy For Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) might be out for another game on Saturday against Oklahoma City, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The NBA's reigning Defensive Player of the Year has already been unavailable for the past two games. Trey Jemison has picked up a pair of […]

Desmond Bane Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Saturday's clash with the Thunder. It's a sign Bane could be ready to rejoin the action after missing two months with a left ankle sprain. Bane will likely be eased into action once he's back in the lineup. But […]

Dean Wade Available To Return On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (personal) is expected to return to action in Saturday's matchup against Houston. Following a three-game absence, Wade rejoined practice on Friday and isn't on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game. With Evan Mobley (ankle) missing from the frontcourt, Wade made two consecutive starts before exiting the lineup for personal […]

Max Strus Sitting Out Another Game On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (knee) won't be available for a seventh consecutive contest on Saturday against Houston. He's been kept off the court by a right knee strain. Isaac Okoro should continue to play a larger role with Strus on the shelf, although the return of Donovan Mitchell limits his impact on the offensive […]

Marvin Bagley III Set To Miss Sixth Consecutive Game

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) won't be ready to return to action on Saturday against Chicago. The 25-year-old will miss a sixth consecutive game due to lower back spasms. Luckily for the Wizards, Richaun Holmes (toe) looks to be on the mend and a possibility for Saturday's matchup after being tagged as questionable […]

Landry Shamet To Remain Out On Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) will miss a third consecutive game on Saturday versus Chicago. He's dealing with a calf strain, meaning it's looking likely Shamet won't be available for Sunday's clash with Boston either. With Tyus Jones (back) and Deni Avdija (knee) also possibly out on Saturday, Washington's rotation could look very unusual. […]

James Harden Remains Out On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) will sit out a second consecutive game on Friday against New Orleans. The former MVP has sustained a left shoulder strain, relinquishing his starter's spot to Bones Hyland. Hyland produced a nice 17-point, 11-assist double-double on Thursday versus Chicago, adding five rebounds and four steals. He should be […]

Eric Gordon Returns To Suns Lineup Friday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Eric Gordon (knee) will return from a two-game absence on Friday versus Charlotte. The veteran sniper has recovered from a left knee contusion. Gordon's addition boosts the quality of Phoenix's second unit, which remains without Josh Okogie (abdomen). The 2017 NBA Sixth Man of the Year has been in a shooting slump […]

Joel Eriksson Ek To Remain Out On Saturday

Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) hasn't traveled with the team to St. Louis, meaning he will miss a second consecutive contest on Saturday against the Blues. Minnesota's first-line center, who has posted 60 points (29 goals, 31 assists) in 66 appearances this season, was injured earlier in the week in a clash […]

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Records Fifth Shutout Of Season

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen had a perfect game against the Islanders on Thursday, completing a 4-0 win with his fifth shutout of the season. The 25-year-old stopped 21 shots to become the fourth netminder in the league with at least five shutouts this season. Four of Luukkonen's shutouts have come since Jan. 14. He's […]

Frederik Andersen Shuts Out Panthers With 21 Saves

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen collected his first shutout of the season on Thursday in a 4-0 win over Florida. Andersen stopped one of the league's hottest teams from scoring with 21 saves. This was only the third start for Andersen since his return from a blood clotting problem. He's won all three contests, putting […]

Brayden Point Ties Lightning Record With Six-Point Outing

Tampa Bay Lightning center Brayden Point had an extraordinary game against the Rangers on Thursday, tying a franchise record with six points in a 6-3 win. He notched his fourth career hat trick and dished out three assists, with four of the points coming in the third period when Tampa Bay had fallen 3-2 behind. […]

Adam Boqvist Injured Versus Senators

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Adam Boqvist was limited to only 1:12 of ice time on Thursday versus Ottawa due to an upper-body injury. Boqvist has played a big role for Columbus lately, even seeing action on the first power-play unit, but it looks like he could be out for a bit again. Health issues have […]

Radko Gudas Exits With Upper-Body Injury

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas sustained an upper-body injury against Minnesota on Thursday and had to exit the game early. The hard-hitting rearguard lasted just five minutes in the contest, and his exit left the Ducks without one of their most effective players. Gudas leads Anaheim with a plus-12 rating and is once again among […]

Calle Jarnkrok Set To Miss "Some Time"

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Calle Jarnkrok suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday's win over Philadelphia and is expected to miss time. "It looks like he's going to miss some time, but we're not going to know the extent fully until we get back home," said Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe after Thursday's game. Toronto […]

Taylor Hendricks Questionable For Friday

Utah Jazz power forward Taylor Hendricks (toe) is carrying a questionable designation ahead of Friday's matchup against Atlanta. Following a three-game absence, Hendricks has returned to full practice, meaning he should have a good chance of shaking off the questionable tag on Friday. The 20-year-old had moved to the starting unit before getting injured and […]

Jordan Clarkson Won't Play On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) will come out of the lineup on Friday against Atlanta. The 2021 Sixth Man of the Year has suffered a right groin strain. With Kris Dunn (rest) also out against the Hawks, Keyonte George and Collin Sexton look set for a massive workload against one of the weakest defenses […]

Keldon Johnson Back In Spurs Lineup On Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Keldon Johnson (illness) isn't on the injury report ahead of Friday's clash with the Nuggets. San Antonio's third-leading scorer will return to the court following a one-game absence -- Johnson missed Tuesday's game versus Houston with a stomach bug. Johnson is nailed to a bench role in San Antonio, but he […]

Cedi Osman Out For Fourth Straight Game

San Antonio Spurs forward Cedi Osman (ankle) will remain out of the lineup on Friday versus Denver. The former Cavalier continues to nurse a left ankle sprain and will sit out a fourth consecutive contest. During Osman's absence, Julian Champagnie's minutes have received the biggest boost, as he's gone from getting fewer than 20 minutes […]

Jalen Johnson Questionable For Friday's Matchup

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (ankle) is questionable to play on Friday against Utah. The 22-year-old has been out for three games with a right ankle sprain. He was listed as doubtful prior to Wednesday's clash with Portland, so the questionable designation is definitely a step forward. Johnson has enjoyed a breakout campaign, and Trae […]

Kevin Love To Miss Eighth Consecutive Game

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) hasn't traveled with the team to Detroit for Friday's matchup against the Pistons, missing an eighth consecutive game. The veteran is struggling to overcome a heel injury, which he picked up late last month. Love's absence has secured a regular starting role for Nikola Jovic, with Haywood Highsmith and […]

Quentin Grimes Unavailable On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) won't play on Friday against the Heat. The former Knickerbocker continues to deal with right knee soreness, which has limited him to only two appearances this month. With Grimous out, extra backcourt minutes open up for rookie Marcus Sasser, and Evan Fournier could also get back to logging healthy […]

Ausar Thompson To Remain Out On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (medical illness) will be absent for a third consecutive game on Friday against Miami. Thompson has been taken out of the lineup with a medical illness, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return. The versatile rookie had played in every game during his maiden campaign before an […]

Torrey Craig Ready To Go On Thursday

Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (ankle) is available for the second leg of a back-to-back on Thursday versus the Clippers. The veteran had a 22-minute outing in Wednesday's overtime win against Indiana, and while he's only just returned from injury, the team won't keep him out of action on Thursday. Craig had 10 points, five […]

Cade Cunningham Questionable To Play Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against Miami. He's on the injury report with left knee injury management, which puts Cunningham's run of 15 consecutive appearances under a threat. Jaden Ivey's usage should receive a boost without Cunningham, while Marcus Sasser could land in a starter's role. The […]

Jerami Grant Remains Out On Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) will remain out on Thursday against the Knicks. The 30-year-old has suffered a hamstring strain and misses a second consecutive contest. Toumani Camara was back with the starters on Wednesday against Atlanta without Grant. He had a quiet 30-minute outing, and the rookie certainly won't have it easier […]

Anfernee Simons Questionable For Thursday's Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's clash with the Knicks. Portland's leading scorer put in a monster performance with 36 points in 43 minutes against Atlanta on Wednesday and might sit out the second leg of a back-to-back. Scoot Henderson was back on the bench Wednesday, seeing […]

Eric Gordon Won't Play Against Boston

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Eric Gordon (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's big matchup against Boston. The team downgraded the veteran sniper from questionable to out. Gordon will be out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. His absence opens up extra minutes for Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale. Both players can provide plenty […]
