Jacob Trouba Ready To Go Thursday

New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba (personal) will be in the lineup Thursday against St. Louis.

Rafael Harvey-Pinard Returns For Montreal Thursday

Montreal Canadiens winger Rafael Harvey-Pinard (lower body) will rejoin the lineup on Thursday versus San Jose. The 25-year-old will log his first action since Nov. 14.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (knee) could be out for another game on Thursday against the Thunder. The team has listed him as questionable for the contest due to left knee tendinitis.

Cameron Payne Probable Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Cameron Payne (concussion) appears ready to return to action, with the team listing him as probable for Thursday's marquee matchup against Boston. The veteran guard missed Monday's clash with Utah, after landing in concussion protocol. However, Payne practiced on Wednesday and should resume his normal duties as the backup point guard […]

Maxi Kleber Doubtful For Meeting With Knicks

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (toe) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Knicks. He's been out since Nov. 8, and it seems unlikely Kleber will return on Thursday.

Luka Doncic Sits Out Thursday's Game

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't play on Thursday against New York. He battled through an ankle sprain in Tuesday's matchup against Memphis but will take Thursday off.

Connor Bedard Ruled Out For 6-8 Weeks Following Surgery

Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard (jaw) will miss 6-8 weeks after undergoing surgery. The 18-year-old phenom fractured his jaw last week in a matchup against New Jersey.

Jamie Drysdale Penciled In For Flyers Debut Wednesday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale will make his team debut on Wednesday against Montreal.

The 21-year-old has arrived in the City of Brotherly Live following […]

Marcus Johansson A Game-Time Call Wednesday

Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson is battling an illness and is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's tilt against Dallas.

Miles Wood To Remain Out On Wednesday

Colorado Avalanche left wing Miles Wood (illness) will remain sidelined for Wednesday's clash with Vegas. He's been battling an illness and has to sit out a third straight game.

Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras suffered a lower-body injury Tuesday against Nashville and will be "out for a while," according to Ducks head coach Greg Cronin. Zegras was hurt early in the game during his third shift when he got tangled up with Nashville forward Juuso Parssinen and took an awkward fall. The talented youngster […]

Trae Young Probable For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (shoulder) is seen as probable for Wednesday's home game against Philadelphia. The Hawks star sprained his right shoulder a while back but has been pushing through the injury and even logged a season-high 42 minutes last time out against Orlando. It appears safe to assume that he will remain […]

Clint Capela Iffy For Wednesday's Matchup

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's encounter with Philadelphia. He's landed on the injury report with right Achilles soreness, which puts him in danger of missing his second game of the season. It's been a solid campaign for him, and Capela has performed well against the Sixers, averaging 16.0 points and […]

De'Anthony Melton Questionable Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Hawks. The 25-year-old has missed three games, but he's been back in practice this week, which is a sign that he's trending in the right direction and could be available again on Wednesday. Melton has done […]

Caleb Martin Likely Out For Another Game

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) doesn't appear to be ready to return to the court Wednesday versus OKC, as the team continues to list him as doubtful on the injury report.

Kyle Lowry Doubtful For Wednesday's Action

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (hand) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's meeting with the Thunder. He sprained his left hand on Monday versus Houston and hasn't yet shaken off the injury. Lowry's absence could result in another start for R.J. Hampton, although he hasn't been very productive for Miami. Tyler Herro and Josh […]

Cody Martin Questionable For Clash With Kings

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (groin) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Sacramento. He's nursing a groin strain and could be out for a second consecutive game.

Kristaps Porzingis Questionable Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota. It's the beginning of a back-to-back for Boston and Porzingis has started to skip games in these situations, so he could take the night off on Wednesday. Al Horford should then feature heavily in the rotation, although the veteran is questionable himself […]

Ondrej Palat Not Expected To Make Quick Return

New Jersey Devils left wing Ondrej Palat (lower body) isn't close to returning to action. He's been on the shelf for three games already and isn't out "short-term," according to Devils head coach Lindy Ruff. The injury is a further source of disappointment for Palat, who's struggled to make an impact in 2023-24. In 35 […]
