Joe Harris Out On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Joe Harris (ankle) won't be available for Thursday's clash with the Mavericks. The veteran sniper saw his season debut get delayed by a left ankle sprain, and the team doesn't want to push him too much.

Oskar Sundqvist Considered Day-To-Day

Detroit Red Wings forward Oskar Sundqvist is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Justise Winslow Questionable For Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Heat. The former Miami player is carrying a sprained right ankle and it already forced him to sit out Monday's win over Denver. Winslow has played a pretty big part for the 4-0 Blazers, averaging 25 minutes off the bench. Fellow […]

Justin Holiday Available On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Justin Holiday (illness) is available for Wednesday's contest against Detroit.

De'Anthony Melton Ready To Play Wednesday
