Aaron Nesmith to Miss Third Straight Game

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets, marking his third straight absence. His continued absence should keep Kobe Brown in a meaningful role after Brown produced 17 points, one three-pointer, eight rebounds, and six assists in 28 minutes as a spot starter last game. Brown shapes […]

Myles Turner Cleared to Return Friday

Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (ankle) is off the injury report and expected to play Friday against the Celtics after missing one game. Turner has been limited lately, averaging 8.4 points, 2.0 three-pointers, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 1.8 blocks in 23.0 minutes across his last five games, making him more of a category specialist […]

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. His return likely cuts into Ousmane Dieng's short-term upside after the young forward erupted for 36 points, one 3-pointer, seven rebounds, and 10 assists in 45 minutes as a fill-in starter. 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. Second-year big man Adem Bona started the last game and finished with 13 points, four rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one block in 21 minutes, making him a deep-league streaming candidate if he draws […]

Andrew Nembhard is Ruled Out for Friday

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. The Pacers aren't playing for anything besides lottery odds right now, so they have little incentive to play anyone at less than 100 percent. It's unclear […]

Josh Giddey Could Sit Again Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks, and his status could again affect the Bulls' backcourt rotation. Giddey missed Wednesday's contest, opening the door for Collin Sexton to post 18 points with one three-pointer, three rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block across 26 minutes. Sexton is […]

Immanuel Quickley to Miss Seventh Straight Game

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Unsurprisingly, Quickley will miss his seventh game in a row due to a lingering foot injury. He's dealing with plantar fasciitis, which really only gets better with rest. Ja'Kobe Walter should continue starting until Quickley is ready […]

Jock Landale to be Re-Evaluated in Two Weeks

Atlanta Hawks center Jock Landale (ankle) will miss the next two weeks of action. Landale will be re-evaluated in two weeks after suffering a right ankle sprain during Wednesday's game.

Kyshawn George Won't Return This Season

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (elbow) will miss the rest of the 2025-2026 season, according to Michael Scotto. George has been out since March 2 due to a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow. The Wizards aren't playing for anything at this point in the season. They've decided to let George sit […]

According to Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com, San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (knee) will play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Victor Wembanyama Sidelined on Thursday

San Antonio Spurs center forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) is slated to miss Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers, per NBA reporter Matthew Tynan.

Isaiah Jackson Misses Third Straight Game

Los Angeles Clippers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) will remain out on Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs.

Jordan Goodwin Ready to Face Hornets

Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin (hip) will be in the lineup on Thursday against the Charlotte Hornets. He was sent for further evaluation after suffering a hip injury on Tuesday against Orlando. This apparently wasn't a serious issue, and Goodwin hasn't been listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game. The 27-year-old has played […]

Sam Merrill Available Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Sam Merrill (hamstring) will play on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. The team has removed him from the injury report after Merrill missed Tuesday's loss to the Lakers to manage a hamstring injury.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (illness) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, […]

He has averaged […]

Jock Landale Leaves Game with Ankle Injury

Atlanta Hawks center Jock Landale (ankle) will not return to Wednesday's game against Orlando after suffering a right ankle sprain, finishing with eight points, one rebound, and one assist in 15 minutes. If Landale is forced to miss additional time, Onyeka Okongwu should continue handling heavy frontcourt minutes after posting 16 points, seven rebounds, four […]

Paul George Explodes for 39 Points in Win Over Wizards

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George erupted for a season-high 39 points in Wednesday's win over Washington, adding six assists, five rebounds, three steals, and six three-pointers in 30 minutes.

Jerami Grant Still Out Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (calf) will miss Thursday's game against New Orleans, extending his recent absence due to a lingering calf strain.

Trey Murphy III Could Miss Fourth Straight Game

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Portland and could miss a fourth straight contest due to a right ankle sprain.

Marcus Smart to Miss Sixth Straight Game

Los Angeles Lakers guard Marcus Smart (ankle) will miss Thursday's game against Oklahoma City, extending his absence to six straight games because of a right ankle contusion. His continued absence keeps Jake LaRavia in the starting lineup after he logged 14 points, seven rebounds, and two three-pointers in 38 minutes during the last outing, making […]

Gary Trent Jr. Exits Early with Hip Injury

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (hip) will not return to Wednesday's game against Houston after exiting early with a hip contusion, finishing with one steal and three missed shots in seven minutes.

Mark Williams Could Return Against Hornets

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against Charlotte as he nears a return from a monthlong absence caused by a left foot stress reaction. The fourth-year big man has averaged 11.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks in 23.6 minutes across 56 games, giving him solid value in big man […]
