He is […]

T.J. Oshie Out Again Thursday

Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie (upper body) will remain out Thursday against Ottawa and he won't feature in Friday's matchup against Winnipeg, either.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas.

However, if Wagner […]

Lamar Stevens Doubtful For Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Lamar Stevens (knee) is regarded as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.

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.

Josh Giddey, Darius Bazley Upgraded To Questionable

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Josh Giddey (illness) and forward Darius Bazley (illness) have been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against Portland.
