Philadelphia 76ers point guard Patrick Beverley (illness) is set to return to action Thursday versus Indiana.

Vince Dunn Returns To Action Wednesday

Seattle Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn (undisclosed) will jump back into the lineup Wednesday against Chicago. The prolific blue-liner has been absent for four games. Dunn is averaging a career-high 0.83 points per game and has been held off the score sheet just six times since the start of last month. He's posted eight goals and […]

Bowen Byram Good To Go Wednesday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram (lower body) will return from an eight-game absence Wednesday versus Washington. The 22-year-old has been in an offensive slump for a while, but only Devon Toews has averaged more even-strength minutes among the Avalanche defensemen this season. In 39 outings, Byram has tallied six goals and six assists with 49 […]

Artturi Lehkonen Returns To Avalanche Lineup

Colorado Avalanche winger Artturi Lehkonen (neck) will rejoin the action on Wednesday versus Washington. He has missed well over two months, having last played on Nov. 9.

Gustav Forsling Ready To Return On Wednesday

Florida Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling (personal) is expected to rejoin the lineup Wednesday versus Arizona. He sat out Monday's game against Nashville for personal reasons. Forsling's role on the Panthers blue line has lessened since Aaron Ekblad and Brandon Montour made their season debuts, but it's still been a good campaign for him. The Swedish […]

Mark Scheifele To Remain Out Wednesday

Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele (lower body) is set to miss a fifth straight game Wednesday versus Toronto. He's labeled day-day, meaning Scheifele isn't far from being ready for action, but Wednesday's matchup comes too soon for him. With Gabriel Vilardi (lower body) remaining on the shelf for a second consecutive contest, the Jets top […]

Caris LeVert Iffy For Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (wrist) might be forced to sit out a third straight game on Wednesday, as the team considers him questionable for a trip to Milwaukee.

Santi Aldama Won't Play On Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Miami.

Monte Morris Could Make His Season Debut On Wednesday

Detroit Pistons point guard Monte Morris (quadriceps) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's meeting with the Hornets, meaning he will likely make his season debut. Morris, who was picked up from Washington for a second-round pick in the summer, has been unavailable so far in 2023-24 due to a right quadriceps strain. The 28-year-old […]

Cade Cunningham On Track To Return Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) appears to be on track to return to the lineup Wednesday versus Charlotte, with the team listing him as probable for the game.

Mark Williams Remains Out Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) will remain on the sidelines Wednesday against Detroit. He's missed 21 games while dealing with a back problem, last featuring on Dec. 8. Nick Richards (ankle) has had a good spell as Williams' replacement in the starting five, but he also recently landed on the shelf. The injuries have […]

Nick Richards Questionable Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's clash with the Pistons. A right ankle sprain could keep him sidelined for a fourth consecutive game. P.J. Washington has replaced him in the starting lineup. Washington had a big 20-point effort in the first game without Richards but has since produced just 21 points […]

Gordon Hayward Continues To Sit

Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward (calf) will remain out on Wednesday against Detroit. Hayward resumed light on-court activities a week ago and appears to be nearing his return, but he will remain absent for a 14th consecutive game. With Terry Rozier now in Miami, Hayward should get more opportunities as a scorer when he's […]

Tanner Pearson Back In Action On Tuesday

Montreal Canadiens left wing Tanner Pearson (upper body) will return from a 19-game absence on Tuesday against Ottawa. Pearson had a below-par start to the campaign before getting injured, and he won't be in a great position to perform in his comeback either, as the 31-year-old is slated to join the fourth line. The 2014 […]

Jacob Markstrom Returns To Calgary's Crease

Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom (lower body) will be back between the sticks Tuesday versus St. Louis. The Flames No. 1 returns to the lineup following a three-game absence. A fractured finger has also left a mark on Markstrom's campaign. However, he's performed well when healthy, going 13-11-2 with a 2.59 goals-against average and a […]

Rasmus Sandin Expected Back On Tuesday

Washington Capitals defenseman Rasmus Sandin (upper body) has come off Injured Reserve and is set to re-enter the lineup Tuesday against Minnesota. The Swedish rearguard has been absent for eight games. Sandin has struggled to perform at his best in 2023-24, but he should still provide some extra offensive quality to the Washington team. He's […]

Adin Hill Available Again For Vegas

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill (undisclosed) has been activated from Injured Reserve ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Islanders. Hill has played in just one game since the beginning of last month. The 27-year-old boasts a strong 10-2-2 record for the campaign, having allowed 1.93 goals with a .933 save percentage. However, as Logan […]

Jeff Skinner Returns To Action Tuesday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jeff Skinner (upper body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and will get back to work on Tuesday versus Anaheim.

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart is taking an indefinite leave of absence for personal reasons. Flyers general manager Daniel Briere announced the news on Tuesday following one of Hart's poorest performances of the season.

Thatcher Demko Stays Hot With Shutout Versus Chicago

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko collected a seventh consecutive win with a 31-save shutout in Monday's 2-0 victory over Chicago. It's his second shutout in four games and his fourth overall this season. Arizona's Connor Ingram and Pittsburgh's Tristan Jarry are the only netminders in the league with more clean sheets in 2023-24. Demko has […]

Matt Dumba Hurt On Monday

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Matt Dumba exited Monday's game against Pittsburgh with an upper-body injury. He logged 7:12 of action in the clash, posting one shot on goal.

Taurean Prince Ready To Return On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Taurean Prince (knee) isn't on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash versus the Clippers, meaning he should be back in the lineup after sitting out one game. Price was absent on Sunday against Portland due to left knee soreness. The veteran should assume his usual role in the starting unit […]

Jarred Vanderbilt Considered Probable Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Battle of Los Angeles against the Clippers. The 24-year-old missed the start of the season with a heel injury, and he's been a regular on the injury report with left heel bursitis. However, Vanderbilt has been playing through the issue, making […]

Tyrese Haliburton Ruled Out For Three Games

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) will miss the next three games before being re-evaluated on Saturday, head coach Rick Carlisle announced on Tuesday.

Isaiah Jackson Considered Questionable Tuesday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Isaiah Jackson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets. He's sat out two games while being in concussion protocol.
