Kyle Kuzma Set to Return Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) is off the injury report and expected to return Friday against the Celtics after a one-game absence.

Kuzma […]

Joel Embiid Likely Out Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Timberwolves and appears headed for another absence.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Nembhard will miss his second straight game due to back soreness.
