Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (knee) is considered questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup matchup against Golden State.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been labeled as probable ahead of Wednesday's NBA Cup game against the Knicks. Hunter continues to manage a knee injury, and he took a blow to the head in Sunday's loss to Denver, but the 27-year-old is set to make a 12th consecutive appearance. Atlanta has seen the […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) has a questionable designation on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Knicks.

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against Atlanta. He might miss his first game of the season because of an ankle sprain.

David Pastrnak Good To Go Tuesday

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak (upper body) will play against Winnipeg on Tuesday. Pastrnak skipped Monday's practice but won't have to sit out his first game of the season.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi (lower body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday against New Jersey.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) will miss another contest on Tuesday against Dallas. He's yet to play this season due to a right hamstring strain.

Montreal Canadiens winger Patrik Laine stayed hot with a two-point effort in Monday's 3-2 shootout victory against Anaheim. The Finnish forward scored a power-play goal and recorded an even-strength assist. A knee injury delayed Laine's Canadiens debut, but he was well worth the wait. Through his first four appearances for the team, the 26-year-old has […]

Tom Wilson Misses Monday's Practice

Washington Capitals right wing Tom Wilson (face) missed Monday's practice. The power forward took a shot to the face from a teammate in Saturday's 4-2 win over Montreal and is undergoing further evaluations.
