Maxi Kleber Considered Probable For Thursday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) is on the injury report as probable ahead of Thursday's clash with Miami. He missed one game last week, but Kleber has been fairly durable since returning from a toe injury in mid-January, and it looks like he will be good to go against the Heat. Kleber has been […]

Bamba hasn't done much […]

Dean Wade Promoted To Starting Unit Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade will join the starting lineup for Wednesday's battle against Atlanta. He's taking over from Evan Mobley (ankle), who was injured on Tuesday against Boston.

Bennedict Mathurin Ruled Out For Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (shoulder) won't take the court Thursday against the Timberwolves. He has been ruled out with a right shoulder sprain.

Doug McDermott To Remain Out On Thursday

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game on Thursday against Minnesota. The 32-year-old sharpshooter is trying to recover from a right calf strain. The Pacers miss McDermott's ability to stretch the floor, but his return to Indianapolis hasn't gone well.

Houston Rockets forward/center Jeff Green (knee) won't be in the lineup as the team completes a back-to-back set against the Clippers on Wednesday.

The talented Auburn product has been battling an illness and initially landed on the injury report with a questionable tag, but he has been upgraded to available.

Karl-Anthony Towns Won't Play On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Indiana. The four-time All-Star misses a dream fantasy matchup with left knee soreness.

Dalen Terry Sits Out Wednesday's Game For Personal Reasons

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Dalen Terry (personal) won't be available for Wednesday's matchup against Utah. He has been downgraded from questionable to out due to a personal matter.

Kobe Bufkin Remains Out Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kobe Bufkin (toe) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Cleveland.

Jonathan Isaac Sits Out Wednesday's Game

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards.
