Damian Lillard Will Play Sunday Against Raptors

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (knee) will return to the court on Sunday against the Raptors.

Larry Nance Jr. Fills Up The Box Score

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. put up a nice statistical line in Saturday's loss to the Kings.

Kawhi Leonard, Marcus Morris Sr. Available To Play Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) and Marcus Morris Sr. (calf) are available to play Saturday against the 76ers.

Al Horford To Sit For The Rest Of The Year

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Al Horford will sit out the remainder of the season. This wasn't particularly surprising, given Horford's frequent rest this year. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's plantar fasciitis may have forced the Thunder into making this decision sooner than they would have liked- though the team gets to see what they have in their young […]

Zach LaVine Suiting Up Against Spurs

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) will suit up for Saturday's contest with the Spurs.

He should continue to be […]

Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (illness) and center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) have been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Pelicans.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday Ruled Out

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) was downgraded to out for Saturday's game against the Knicks. Guard Jrue Holiday (knee) will also sit out the contest.

Julius Randle Out, Derrick Rose Available Against Bucks

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (thigh) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Bucks.

Bradley Beal Available To Play Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (foot) is available to play on Saturday against the Pistons. Beal is dealing with a sore right foot- though he'll be taking the court against a poor Pistons squad.

Keon Broxton Reassigned To Minors

Minnesota Twins outfielder Keon Broxton was reassigned to the team's minor league campsite on Saturday. The team also sent down infielders Rob Refsnyder, Tzu-Wei Lin, J.T. Riddle, and catcher Tomas Telis. Broxton was initially thought to be a possible factor in the team's outfield plans in 2021 after a strong spring that saw him bat […]

Miguel Sano Belts First Home Run Of Spring

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano went 1-for-2 with a home run, a walk, and a strikeout in Friday's loss to the Braves.

Trae Young Hands Out 15 Assists

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young kept rolling as a distributor, handing out 15 assists in Friday's victory over the Warriors. Young poured in 21 points, but it was a bit of a down performance in the scoring column- given his 1 of 6 shooting from deep- though he made up for it by going 8-for-9 […]
