Sean Durzi Out On Thursday

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Sean Durzi (undisclosed) will sit out Thursday's game against Colorado. He was injured Monday against Washington and will be unavailable for the fourth time this season. Durzi has been an effective player at both ends of the ice, so it won't be easy to replace him. Sean Walker will likely take […]

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) will miss a third consecutive contest Thursday against Utah.

He has started the last […]

Aaron Nesmith Questionable For Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (hip) could miss a third consecutive game Thursday against Houston, as the team considers him questionable for the contest.

Kevin Porter Jr. Sits Out Thursday's Action

Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) won't play Thursday against Indiana.

Bojan Bogdanovic Out For A Fourth Consecutive Game

Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) has been officially ruled out for a fourth consecutive game Thursday.

Jrue Holiday Back On Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (neck) will be back from a one-game absence Thursday against the Nets.
