Franz Wagner Expected to Return "Within the Next Week"

According to broadcaster Jeff Turner, the Orlando Magic are expected to get forward Franz Wagner (ankle) "back within the next week."

Giannis Antetokounmpo Available Versus Charlotte

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is clear to suit up for Friday's matchup versus Charlotte. The multi-time MVP was listed on the injury report.

Karl-Anthony Towns Out on Friday Night

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) won't suit up on Friday against Atlanta.

Hopefully, KAT will feel better by then. In the meantime, Ariel Hukporti […]

Nicolas Claxton Ruled Out for Friday's Game

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Claxton is currently away from the team due to personal reasons, which will put the Nets in a tough spot. They'll look to Day'Ron Sharpe and Danny Wolf to take on larger roles in the rotation.

Saddiq Bey May Sit Out Friday's Game

New Orleans Pelicans forward Saddiq Bey (hip) is questionable to face the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night.

Grayson Allen Questionable Friday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (knee) is questionable for Friday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings. He has been out of action for seven games due to a right knee problem.

Moussa Diabate Iffy for Friday

Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (wrist) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Miles Bridges Likely to Return Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (ankle) seems set to return to the lineup on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks, as he is listed as probable for the game.

Rui Hachimura Ruled Out Through Weekend

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Memphis and will also miss Sunday, with a target return early next week, per coach JJ Redick. His continued absence keeps the Lakers' forward rotation thin and elevates Jake LaRavia's short-term fantasy profile. Across his 10 starts this season, LaRavia […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Ruled Out Again vs. Golden State

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) will miss Friday's game against the Warriors after the team ruled him out in advance, extending his absence to three games.
