Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (hip) is available to start on Friday against the Toronto Raptors.

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (hip) is a game-time decision Friday against the Toronto Raptors.

Andre Iguodala Has Been Ruled Out Friday

Miami Heat forward Andre Iguodala (hip) will sit out Friday against the Indiana Pacers. Iguodala will miss his second straight game after leaving Tuesday with a hip injury.

Cody Zeller Ruled Out Ahead Of Saturday

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (shoulder) will not play Saturday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Seth Curry Ruled Out For Next Two Games

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (ankle) is going to be sidelined for at least the next two games. Head coach Doc Rivers mentioned that they will re-evaluate Curry after the weekend.

DeMar DeRozan Will Return Versus Cavs

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) will return for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is a bit of a surprise since DeRozan was listed as out on Thursday.
