Gorgui Dieng Will Miss Friday’s Contest

San Antonio Spurs center Gorgui Dieng (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus Denver, missing the second leg of a back-to-back. Dieng has been used sparingly since his acquisition by San Antonio, who has utilized Jakob Poeltl in an increased capacity as the season has worn on. When given minutes, Dieng has proven […]

Paul George, Patrick Beverley Will Be Sidelined Friday

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard/small forward Paul George (rest) and point guard Patrick Beverley (hand) have been ruled out for Friday's game versus Houston, the second leg of a back-to-back. The absence of the aforementioned duo, along with Serge Ibaka (back), paves the way for Kawhi Leonard to be the primary offensive focus. Terance Mann […]

Donte DiVincenzo, P.J. Tucker Will Miss Friday’s Game

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Donte Divincenzo (hip) and power forward/center P.J. Tucker (calf) have joined members of the roster that will be unavailable for Friday's game against Charlotte.

Victor Oladipo Set To Miss Multiple Games

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Victor Oladipo (knee) has been put on the shelf for the entirety of the team's upcoming four-game road trip.

Brandon Clarke Could Return Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (calf) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. He has missed each of the last two games due to a left calf issue.

Kyle Lowry Upgraded To Questionable

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (foot) has been upgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has missed each of the last five games due to an infection in his right foot. Toronto could certainly use Lowry with Fred VanVleet (hip) still sidelined.

Jrue Holiday Won't Play Against Hornets

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This is a shame considering Holiday has been one of the hottest players in the league.
