Jerami Grant Ruled Out For Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (face) will not suit up for Thursday's clash with the Lakers. He must sit out a second consecutive game due to a facial contusion.

Dalen Terry Cleared To Play Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Dalen Terry (ankle) will remain in the lineup on Wednesday against Washington.

Jalen Smith Available On Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (ankle) will play against Washington on Wednesday. The team has upgraded him from probable to available.

Bub Carrington Active On Wednesday

Duncan Robinson In Danger Of Missing A Second Straight Game

Miami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's clash against New Orleans. He might be absent for a second straight game due to a right foot strain.

Bub Carrington Questionable For Wednesday's Matchup

Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (head) is questionable to play against Chicago on Wednesday. He was hit in the head during Monday's loss to the Knicks and has been suffering from a post-traumatic headache.

Jose Alvarado Considered Doubtful Wednesday

Keegan Murray Unlikely To Play On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) is doubtful to play on Wednesday versus Philadelphia. He's nursing soreness in his left ankle. Murray has missed only one game this season so far.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Likely Out For Another Game

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (lower leg) has been labeled as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Denver. He will likely miss a fifth consecutive game with a lower leg contusion.

Dyson Daniels On Track To Return Versus Nuggets

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Dyson Daniels (illness) appears ready to rejoin the action on Wednesday versus Denver, with the team listing him as probable for the game.

Trae Young Listed As Probable For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against Denver. After carrying a heel contusion for a bit, Young is back on the injury report with right Achilles tendinitis. The star guard has skipped just two games all season, so he will likely be available on Wednesday, which limits Vit Krejci's […]

Ivan Ivan Out Week-To-Week

Colorado Avalanche center Ivan Ivan (upper body) is considered week-to-week. The team has placed him on Injured Reserve ahead of Tuesday's contest against Winnipeg.

Kirill Kaprizov Will Remain Out On Tuesday

Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) will remain on the shelf for Tuesday's matchup against Nashville. He will sit out a third consecutive contest.
