Jaxson Hayes Not Seriously Hurt

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Jaxson Hayes (ankle) only has a minor injury and should be back in the lineup soon.

Hayes' minutes were trending […]

Rui Hachimura Considered Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (concussion) is considered day-to-day by the team. The Japanese ace has landed in concussion protocol, and he's missed four straight games.

Calgary Flames winger Andrew Mangiapane has been suspended for one game for cross-checking Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann in Saturday's 6-3 win.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams (back) still isn't ready to make his season debut on Monday against Atlanta. The 28-year-old is kept out of the lineup by lower back spasms. The Thunder have played decently without Williams, going 3-3, but he would be a versatile extra body to throw on the court. Williams averaged […]

De'Andre Hunter Fine For Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (finger) is expected to play Monday versus the Thunder. He dislocated his right pinky finger in Saturday's matchup against New Orleans but played through the ailment at the weekend, and it won't keep him out of the lineup on Monday either.

Miami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson (wrist) has been listed as probable for Monday's contest against the Lakers.

Caleb Martin To Miss Another Game On Monday

Igor Shesterkin Expected Back On Tuesday

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin (lower body) appears on track to return from a one-game absence on Tuesday against Detroit.

However, the team has now […]

Jack Hughes Listed As Week-To-Week

New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes (upper body) is considered week-to-week.

Arvid Soderblom Takes On Devils Sunday
