Dante Exum Doubtful To Play Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland. He tried to play through a right heel contusion on Monday versus Utah, but Exum lasted for only 12 minutes. Jaden Hardy started the second half in Exum's place on Monday, and he will likely maintain the role versus the Trail […]

Moses Brown Could Be Unavailable For Wednesday's Game

Portland Trail Blazers center Moses Brown (wrist) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas. The seven-foot-two giant, who has made four consecutive starts for the team, is nursing a left wrist sprain. Brown has been used as the starting center in Deandre Ayton's (knee) absence, while Portland's other backup big, Duop Reath (back), […]

Duop Reath Tagged As Questionable Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Duop Reath (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's encounter with the Mavericks. The 27-year-old has sat out three games with a lower back issue.

Toumani Camara Questionable For Meeting With Dallas

Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Mavericks. The 23-year-old rookie is dealing with right knee soreness and could be forced to take a seat for a second consecutive game. Camara missed his first action of the season Monday versus the Suns. He was forced to exit the […]

Dillon Brooks Remains Sidelined Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard/forward Dillon Brooks (oblique) will sit out a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Brooklyn. Brooks doesn't have a clear timetable for his return, but Rockets head coach Ime Udoka has said that the defensive pest isn't dealing with a long-term issue. Jae'Sean Tate has joined the starters in Brooks' absence. Following a […]

Tari Eason Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) remains on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's home game against the Nets.

Danilo Gallinari Questionable Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Danilo Gallinari (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran is having trouble with a lower back spasm.

Marcus Foligno In Doubt For Tuesday

Minnesota Wild winger Marcus Foligno (undisclosed) is a game-time call for Tuesday's clash with Calgary. The power forward is dealing with an unspecified lingering issue and might have to give his body some rest. Foligno's absence would come at an awful time for the Wild, as the team has just lost Kirill Kaprizov (upper body) […]

Ross Colton Considered Probable Tuesday

Colorado Avalanche forward Ross Colton (leg) looks ready to return to the lineup on Tuesday versus the Islanders, as head coach Jared Bednar considers him probable for the game. The 27-year-old has missed a pair of contests with a leg injury. Colton has had a decent debut campaign in Denver, recording 17 points (eight goals, […]

Conor Sheary A Game-Time Decision Tuesday

Tampa Bay Lightning winger Conor Sheary (hand) is considered a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against the Jets. He missed Sunday's game against Montreal with a hand injury but could be back in the lineup, with Tampa Bay desperate for some healthy bodies. The team lost two defensemen versus the Canadiens and could end up […]

Erik Cernak Sits Out Tuesday's Game

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus Winnipeg and is considered day-to-day. Cernak suffered an upper-body injury in Sunday's matchup against Montreal, exiting the game after logging less than seven minutes on the ice. The Lightning also lost Haydn Fleury (hand) at the weekend and will remain without Mikhail Sergachev […]

Mario Ferraro Good To Go On Tuesday

San Jose Sharks defenseman Mario Ferraro (upper body) will be in the lineup Tuesday versus Detroit. His status was up in the air after Ferraro logged just four minutes of action against Colorado on Sunday, but he's gotten a positive result from an MRI on his ribs and is good to go Tuesday. Ferraro has […]

Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Bryan Rust (upper body) has been activated from long-term Injured Reserve and is set to rejoin the lineup Tuesday versus Washington. Rust has been unavailable for 10 games with an upper-body issue. He skated with Evgeni Malkin and Reilly Smith on Tuesday morning. The 31-year-old played well before getting injured, posting […]

Sean Kuraly Out For Two Weeks

Columbus Blue Jackets center Sean Kuraly (abdomen) will likely miss two weeks of action.

J.J. Moser Returns To Coyotes Lineup

Arizona Coyotes defenseman J.J. Moser (upper body) is expected to return from a two-game absence in Tuesday's matchup against the Panthers. The Coyotes have been in great form lately, and Moser's comeback should be another boost for the team.

Martin Fehervary A Game-Time Decision On Tuesday

Washington Capitals defenseman Martin Fehervary (upper body) could be back in action on Tuesday against Pittsburgh after rejoining practice on Monday. He skated on the first defensive pairing with a regular jersey, so the signs are encouraging that Fehervary's absence will be limited to only one game. The 24-year-old is a non-factor offensively, having tallied […]

Jesper Fast Won't Play On Tuesday

Carolina Hurricanes winger Jesper Fast (upper body) won't be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers. He was injured at the weekend against Toronto, and it's unclear when Fast can rejoin the action. The 32-year-old has posted 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 37 appearances this season. Brendan Lemieux practiced in Fast's position on […]

Joey Daccord Makes History With Winter Classic Win

Seattle Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord posted a 35-save shutout in Monday's Winter Classic against Vegas while grabbing a franchise record with a 3-0 win.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett debuted for the team with a 19-point, nine-rebound effort in a 124-121 win over Cleveland on Monday.

Keldon Johnson Probable For Tuesday's Action

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Keldon Johnson (back) is on track to return to the lineup Tuesday against Memphis. He was unavailable on New Year's Eve versus Boston due to back spasms. Johnson has been leading San Antonio's second unit lately, although he's still seen starter's minutes, and the 24-year-old has remained effective. He's averaged 20.0 […]

Lonnie Walker IV Remains Out On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) won't return to the court Tuesday versus New Orleans. He's been trending towards a return, but unfortunately, still isn't good to go. Walker IV missed the entire December and has been absent for 15 games in total. Before running into health issues, the 25-year-old enjoyed a very good […]

Trey Murphy III Questionable For Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (knee) could be sidelined for a second consecutive game, with the team listing him as questionable for Tuesday's action versus Brooklyn. Murphy III has a sore left knee. A meniscus injury in the same knee forced him to sit out the start of the season, so the team […]

Andrew Nembhard Exits With Sore Back

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard was limited to only eight minutes due to a sore back in Monday's impressive 122-113 road win over Milwaukee. He had a poor outing, contributing only two points and finishing with a team-worst minus-21 rating. Nembhard made his fifth consecutive start in Bruce Brown's (knee) absence, but he might now […]

Dante Exum Exits Early Monday With Heel Issue

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum exited Monday's loss to Utah with a right heel contusion. He was already considered questionable for the game with the same issue.

Ilya Samsonov Clears Waivers

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov cleared waivers on Monday and will report to the Toronto Marlies in the AHL.

Logan Thompson In Vegas' Crease On Monday

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Logan Thompson will make his 20th start of the season in Monday's Winter Classic matchup against Seattle.

The 26-year-old boasts a 2.80 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage. The […]

Joey Daccord Starts Winter Classic For Seattle
