Mikael Backlund Ready To Return Thursday

Calgary Flames center Mikael Backlund (upper body) will jump back into action on Thursday against the Dallas Stars. He has recovered from an upper-body injury, which sidelined Backlund for six games.

Rasmus Andersson Good To Go Against Stars

Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson will be available against the Dallas Stars on Thursday night. He missed the morning skate, but Flames head coach Ryan Huska has confirmed that Andersson will play.

His first […]

Jason Zucker Unavailable Against Penguins

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (personal) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has left the team to take care of a personal matter. The veteran forward is expected to return on Saturday when the Sabres travel to Philadelphia. Zucker's recent form has been underwhelming, but he has […]

Evgeni Malkin Out On Thursday

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin (upper body) will miss a second consecutive game on Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres. Pittsburgh lost Malkin to an upper-body injury at the start of the week, with the veteran star labeled as day-to-day. Kevin Hayes is likely to continue filling in for Malkin as the second-line center. Malkin's next […]

Lamar Stevens Questionable Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Lamar Stevens (shoulder) carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has injured his right shoulder, which has already forced him to miss the last three games. Stevens' absence impacts things very little, as he has averaged just 10.8 minutes over nine […]

Jake LaRavia In Danger Of Missing Thursday's Game

Sacramento Kings forward Jake LaRavia (thumb) could be out on Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers, as the team lists him as questionable on the injury report.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Caleb Martin (hip) has been tagged as questionable for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic.

Brandon Williams Questionable To Play On Thursday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Brandon Williams (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. He may have to skip the action due to low back tightness. Williams' absence would be a significant setback for the Mavericks, as the 25-year-old has looked fantastic in an expanded role this month. Over nine March […]

P.J. Washington Unavailable Against Magic

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) will not play on Thursday against the Orlando Magic. He has been ruled out for a second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain.

But he may now join Robinson on the sidelines Thursday […]

Duncan Robinson May Remain Sidelined Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Malik Monk Iffy For Thursday's Game

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Coby White Probable For Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (toe) is carrying a probable tag on the injury report ahead of Thursday's encounter with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Josh Giddey Uncertain For Thursday

Following the diagnosis, he was ruled out for 3-4 weeks, meaning the 2024-25 regular season […]

Trae Young Expected To Play Against Heat

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is probable for Thursday's tilt against the Miami Heat. He will likely be good to go for an eighth consecutive game despite dealing with tendinitis in his right Achilles tendon. This has been a nagging issue for Young throughout the season, but he has put together a strong […]

Jayson Tatum Misses Wednesday's Contest

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) will not be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. Earlier in the day, the team upgraded Tatum's status from doubtful to questionable, but he has now been officially ruled out. This will mark his fourth absence this month. With Tatum unavailable, Al Horford will likely receive […]

Cole Anthony Considered Doubtful For Thursday

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks.

Michael Porter Jr. Cleared To Play Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) will be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Nikola Jokic Returns To Action Against Bucks

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) will be back in action on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
