DeMar DeRozan Available On Saturday

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan is available for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He missed each of the last two games, but is not expected to be limited at all.

Mike Conley Ruled Out For Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic.

Green has played surprisingly well this season, […]

Cedi Osman Could Miss Saturday's Game

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

He has been knocking down everything from beyond the arc […]

Kyrie Irving Won't Suit Up Versus Mavs

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It appears that he is dealing with discomfort in the same shoulder that caused him to miss most of last season.
