New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson was on the court with his teammates for Thursday's shootaround. However, he remains a game-time decision for Thursday's re-opener versus the Utah Jazz.

Sacramento Kings center Alex Len (rest) is unlikely going to be ready for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs, according to head coach Luke Walton. He was battling COVID-19 and recently joined his teammates in Orlando this week. The team is still attempting to get his conditioning up enough for game action. Honestly, there […]

Milwaukee Bucks guards Eric Bledsoe (rest) and Pay Connaughton (rest) won't suit up for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Both players arrived late to Orlando due to having COVID-19 and are still working on their conditioning.

Orlando Magic forward Wesley Iwundu (head) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was originally considered doubtful for the seeding opener due to a concussion. The team is hopeful that he can return to the court, but he'll need to pass the concussion protocol fairly quick.

Joel Embiid Returns To Practice

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (calf) was able to take part in Thursday's practice.

Glenn Robinson III, Raul Neto Practice Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (hip) and guard Raul Neto (back) were able to participate in Thursday's practice. This is a positive step forward, so hopefully both players will be ready in time for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Neither player would likely have DFS value even at full health. Alec Burks would […]

Otherwise, Ish Smith, […]

Anthony Davis Returned To Practice Wednesday

The team has not officially cleared him for Thursday's game, but he is trending in the right direction. Davis mentioned that he plans to play, but who knows what will happen over the next day. He has been a stud […]

Tyus Jones Out For At Least One Week

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones (knee) will be sidelined to begin the seeding games and will be re-evaluated in one week. He is dealing with knee soreness, so he might end up being out longer than one week. The Grizzlies are already without Justise Winslow (hip), so the team is fairly thin at guard. De'Anthony […]

Eric Gordon Expected To Miss Two Weeks

Phoenix Suns forwards Dario Saric (ankle) and Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) have been ruled out for Tuesday's scrimmage contest.

Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (COVID) is unavailable for Tuesday's scrimmage contest. Baynes is currently in Orlando, but must clear COVID-19 protocol before being allowed to take the court again.
