Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) has been listed as questionable on the early morning injury report as he deals with a mid-back sprain.

Franz Wagner Ruled Out Versus Denver

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) won't play on Friday against Denver. The 22-year-old logged five minutes in Wednesday's double-overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings before exiting with a sprained ankle, finishing with six points. However, he'll now miss his first game of the year, although there's a chance his absence could extend beyond Friday's […]

Nikola Vucevic Might Return On Friday

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (groin) is questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran has missed the last five games with a left-groin strain, although there's a good chance he isn't ready to return. However, the questionable designation at least means he's moving in the right direction. At any rate, Vucevic has […]

Gary Harris Ruled Out For Friday

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This doesn't come as a shock after Harris left after only 12 minutes during Wednesday's game due to a calf strain. That resulted in Trevelin Queen and Anthony Black having bigger roles in the rotation. Black has […]

Zach LaVine Questionable For Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It sounds like the star guard is closing in on a return after missing weeks of action due to right foot inflammation. If he's cleared, LaVine would likely be under a heavy minutes limit for the first few […]

Khris Middleton Won't Return On Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee, wrist) won't return to Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. For the first time this season, Middleton played in both games of the back-to-back set. However, the Bucks decided to shut him down for the second half of Thursday's game. His removal seems like it was precautionary, so […]

Cole Anthony Removed From Injury Report

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (quad) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This is great news after Anthony sat out Wednesday's double-overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings. There is no word of Anthony being limited, so the expectation is that he'll be fully ready to go. […]

Kevin Durant Considered Questionable For Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. The All-Star forward is working his way back from a right hamstring strain.

D'Angelo Russell Doubtful For Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (tailbone) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It appears the young guard is in danger of missing his third game in a row due to a tailbone contusion. The Lakers could be asking their bench to step up big time with LeBron James (ankle) […]

LeBron James Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Unsurprisingly, James is back on the injury report, but this time with an ankle injury. The superstar forward was able to play through an illness on Wednesday. However, his availability for Wednesday remains uncertain because an […]

Gary Harris Suffers Calf Injury Versus Kings

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris had to cut his night short against the Kings on Wednesday due to a right calf strain. He logged 12 minutes as a starter, posting five points with one steal. Harris' addition pushed Anthony Black to the bench for the first time since early November, but he should be back […]

Malaki Branham Doubtful For Thursday's Game

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Malaki Branham (ankle) is unlikely to play Thursday versus Milwaukee. The team has listed him as doubtful for the game after Branham sprained his right ankle in Tuesday's clash with the Grizzlies. Branham played just seven minutes on Tuesday, and the injury ended a nice run of double-digit scoring he had […]

Reggie Jackson Considered Probable Thursday

Denver Nuggets point guard Reggie Jackson (calf) has been listed as probable for Thursday's marquee matchup against the Warriors. The veteran is dealing with tightness in his left calf, but Jackson has been pushing through the issue lately and should also be good to go on Thursday. Jackson has done well in a reserve role […]

Gary Payton II Faces New Spell On The Sidelines

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II is expected to miss several weeks with a left hamstring strain. He has just returned from missing a month with a calf injury, and Payton II, unfortunately, lands back on the shelf after playing only a total of 20 minutes in two games. The 31-year-old has been limited […]

Dereck Lively II Injured Wednesday Night

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II sprained his left ankle in Wednesday's 126-97 win over Portland and exited the game after logging only 19 minutes.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Franz Wagner played only five minutes in Wednesday's double-overtime thriller against Sacramento, exiting early with a right ankle sprain. Wagner finished the contest with six points and two rebounds. He's been a key man all year of the Magic, with averages of 20.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists. X-rays on Wagner's […]
