Quentin Grimes Considered Doubtful For Wednesday's Game

New York Knicks guard/forward Quentin Grimes (ankle) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto.

Grimes posted 19 points in Tuesday's win against Golden State, and he's also managed […]

Killian Hayes Questionable On Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Philadelphia. A troublesome left knee could force the 21-year-old to sit out his first contest of the season.
