Thomas Bryant Has Career Game

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant scored a career-high 16 points on Wednesday, adding nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 21 minutes. Bryant's nine rebounds were also a career-high for him, and with Dwight Howard (back) appearing to be nowhere near a return, the 21-year-old should remain the starter at center indefinitely. […]

Jeremy Lin Leaves Wednesday's Game With A Back Strain

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (back) was only able to play four minutes on Wednesday before leaving the contest due to a lower back strain.

Wendell Carter Jr. Posts Double-Double Versus Pacers

Chicago Bulls forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. posted a double-double versus the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, recording 12 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 31 minutes.

Brandon Ingram Provides Empty Stat Line

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram scored 15 points to go along with four rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in 28 minutes on Sunday.
