Kristaps Porzingis Downgraded To Doubtful

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (heel) has been downgraded to doubtful for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Rui Hachimura Ruled Out On Thursday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Shabazz Napier Won't Play Versus Celtics

Washington Wizards guard Shabazz Napier (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Brown has struggled during […]

Kent Bazemore Ruled Out Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Kent Bazemore (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Kings have been eliminated from the postseason, so they have no incentive to play Bazemore at less than 100 percent.

Seth Curry Listed As Probable For Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (leg) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He has been dealing with right leg soreness for some time, but was upgraded from questionable. Curry is expected to be limited since he is still battling an injury.
