Jericho Sims Ruled Out For Monday

New York Knicks center Jericho Sims (back) will not play on Monday against Detroit. He was a late addition to the injury report and has been ruled out due to back spasms. Sims is way down in the pecking order at center, so his absence will not impact the Knicks, especially with Karl-Anthony Towns healthy […]

Vladislav Namestnikov Not Ready To Return On Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets forward Vladislav Namestnikov (lower body) will remain out on Tuesday against Vancouver. A lower-body injury will keep him sidelined for a second straight game. Namestnikov skated before Monday's practice, so he might be ready to rejoin the action later in the week. Winnipeg hasn't gotten much offensive production out of Namestnikov recently, but […]

Filip Hronek Regarded As Game-Time Decision For Tuesday

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Filip Hronek (lower body) has returned to the team and will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest against Winnipeg.

Tari Eason Considered Doubtful For Monday

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (lower leg) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against Memphis.

Brice Sensabaugh Returns To Jazz Lineup Sunday

Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh (conditioning) will end a three-game absence on Sunday against Brooklyn.

Kyle Filipowski Active Versus Nets

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's contest against Brooklyn. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to an ankle sprain. Utah won't have many big bodies in the lineup on Sunday, so the stage is set for Filipowski to enjoy a productive outing. However, his recent […]

Lauri Markkanen Sits Out Sunday's Game

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) will not play on Sunday against Brooklyn. He will miss the second leg of a back-to-back due to back spasms. Markkanen's absence means Collin Sexton will be the only regular starter available for the contest. Players such as Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk will have expanded roles on Sunday, […]

Jonathan Kuminga Out For Fifth Consecutive Game

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) will miss a fifth straight game on Monday against Toronto. The 22-year-old is recovering from an ankle sprain and is wearing a walking boot.

Gary Payton II Listed As Out For Monday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (calf) has been listed as out for Monday's clash against Toronto. Following Sunday's practice, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr labeled Payton II as questionable, but it looks like he still needs some time to work himself into game shape.

Brandin Podziemski Remains Sidelined Monday

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Brandin Podziemski (abdomen) will miss an eighth consecutive game on Monday against Toronto.

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (personal) has rejoined the team and will play on Monday against Toronto.

He is officially listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Monday's action. However, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk has reported that Warriors head coach Steve […]

Stephen Curry Not Listed On Injury Report For Monday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) has not been listed on the injury report for Monday's game against Toronto.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Ruled Out Sunday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will not play against Philadelphia on Sunday. A knee issue limited Caldwell-Pope to 11 minutes in Friday's matchup against Milwaukee.

Caleb Martin Misses Sunday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Caleb Martin (groin) will not suit up for Sunday's contest against Orlando.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) will not return to action in Sunday's matchup against Orlando. He will miss a fourth consecutive game after being initially regarded as questionable for the contest.

Ty Jerome Ruled Out For Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Indiana. This comes as no surprise after Cleveland listed Jerome as doubtful on the initial injury report. Jerome's absence should slightly boost Sam Merrill and Caris LeVert from a fantasy perspective, while Craig Porter Jr. might break back into the rotation […]

Walker Kessler Resting On Sunday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (rest) will not be in the lineup on Sunday against Brooklyn. Following a 31-minute outing against Phoenix on Saturday, the Jazz are resting the seven-foot giant.
