Like Valdez, Gallen […]

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (hand) will be sidelined for his team's Tuesday matchup with the Jazz due to a left hand strain. The team also ruled out Andrew Nembhard (back), Pascal Siakam (rest), and Bennedict Mathurin (rest), so it's hard to know if Nesmith's injury is something that will cost him time going forward […]

Norman Powell Downgraded to Doubtful for Tuesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (personal) was downgraded from questionable to doubtful on Tuesday before his team's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
