Andre Iguodala Sitting On Sunday Due To A Bum Hip

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (hip) won't play on Sunday against Sacramento.

Payton Pritchard Good To Go Against Houston

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (nose) is available on Sunday against Houston. The second-year man out of Oregon sustained a nasal fracture during the preseason.

Nerlens Noel Unlikely To Suit Up Against Orlando

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) is unlikely to play during Sunday's rematch against the Orlando Magic.

Jaylen Brown Out Against Houston

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) won't be in the lineup against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. Rozier is currently sidelined because of tendinitis in his left knee. With the team playing on Monday night, there is a chance that the 24-year-old also won't be available against the Charlotte Hornets. Josh Richardson will slide into […]
