LaMelo Ball Questionable For Monday's Action

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota.

Xavier Tillman Sr. Questionable For Monday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) could miss a second straight game on Monday versus Toronto, with the team listing him as questionable.

Robert Covington Remains Sidelined Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) will remain out of the lineup Monday versus San Antonio. Knee trouble will keep him off the court for a 10th consecutive game.

De'Anthony Melton Out For Fifth Consecutive Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba (knee) is questionable for a clash with San Antonio on Monday. He's been out for four games with a knee problem and could be forced to sit again.

Zach Collins Questionable Monday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Philadelphia. He returned from a right ankle sprain on Friday and played both games of a back-to-back. However, San Antonio could elect to keep him out of Monday's action to limit his load. Dominick Barlow and Sandro Mamukelashvili will be […]

Patrick Kane Remains Out On Sunday

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (lower body) will miss a third consecutive game on Sunday against Tampa Bay. The veteran star was injured a week ago versus Toronto.

Ben Chiarot Unavailable Sunday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Ben Chiarot will miss Sunday's game against Tampa Bay with an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old will be out of the lineup for the first time this season.

Andrei Svechnikov Won't Play On Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov will miss Sunday's contest against Minnesota with an upper-body injury. Michael Bunting will replace him on the top line. Svechnikov exits the lineup following an impressive spell that saw him register seven multi-point efforts across 11 games. He's amassed 30 points (11 goals, 19 assists) in 29 games for the […]

Dillon Dube Won't Play On Saturday

Calgary Flames forward Dillon Dube (illness) will sit out Saturday's clash with the Oilers. Having some time off might even be good for Dube following a 24-game run without a point. He's provided three goals and seven assists in 43 games on the attacking end through the entire campaign. With Martin Pospisil (upper body) also […]

Joel Edmundson Returns For Capitals

Washington Capitals defenseman Joel Edmundson (upper body) will return from a one-game absence Saturday versus St. Louis.

Edmundson started his NHL career with the Blues in 2015, winning […]

Erik Karlsson Good To Go Saturday

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson (illness) will play Saturday versus Vegas.

Karlsson has played in every game since the start of last season, registering 31 points (seven goals, 24 assists) […]

Matthew Poitras Available Again Saturday

Josh Anderson Back In Action Saturday

Montreal Canadiens winger Josh Anderson (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday versus Boston. He makes his return after sitting out the past four games.

Patrick Williams Questionable For Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Saturday's home game against Memphis.

He had a solid 12-point outing in 23 minutes […]

Andre Drummond Probable Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (back) is considered probable for Saturday's matchup against the Grizzlies. The big man has been on the injury report with a lower back spasm for a while, but Drummond hasn't missed any games this season. It's safe to assume he'll be good to go on Saturday. The veteran has done […]

Ayo Dosunmu On Track To Play Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) has been listed as probable for Saturday's meeting with Memphis. He's having trouble with his left shoulder and was forced to exit Monday's game against Cleveland early. However, Dosunmu had no trouble putting in a 32-minute shift against Toronto on Thursday, so the injury apparently isn't too serious. The […]

Zach Collins Will Be Rested Saturday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins will sit out Saturday's game against Washington for rest purposes. He returned from a nine-game absence on Friday versus Charlotte, and the team clearly doesn't want to push him too hard.
