Nicolas Claxton Back In Action Friday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) will return from a three-game absence on Friday against Philadelphia. The Nets big man has shaken off a lower back problem and a probable tag in the process. Ben Simmons has been Brooklyn's starting center during Claxton's absence and must settle for a lesser role now that he's back. […]

CJ McCollum Remains Unavailable On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (adductor) will remain out on Friday versus Golden State. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out, missing a 13th consecutive game. Elfrid Payton should receive another start with McCollum on the shelf. He had a solid season debut with 11 points, five rebounds, and eight assists on Wednesday […]

Cade Cunningham Ruled Out For Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Cunningham suffered a joint sprain during Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. As a result, Cunningham will sit out on Saturday, but hopefully it'll only be a one-game absence. It'll be interesting to see what the Pistons […]

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is currently being considered a game-time decision ahead of Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Al Horford Unavailable On Friday

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. The veteran big man was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness.

Stephen Curry Probable On Friday Against Pelicans

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's NBA Cup game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Cam Thomas Available Against 76ers

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (back) is dealing with lower back tightness, but has been upgraded from probable to available on Friday. He'll take part in the NBA Cup game against the Philadelphia 76ers and help the team make the knockout stages. Thomas is putting up career highs across almost all categories this season while […]

Joel Embiid Added To Injury Report On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) was a late addition to the injury report ahead of their Friday night game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Nicolas Claxton Now Listed As Probable Against 76ers

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Friday night's NBA Cup game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Dorian Finney-Smith Upgraded To Probable On Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) was listed as questionable while he deals with a left ankle sprain, but has since been upgraded to probable ahead of Friday's tip-off.

According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is set to play on Thursday against the Orlando Magic. The 31-year-old has been managing a foot injury for some time, so fantasy managers should not anticipate a quick resolution. However, he is expected to continue to suit up in games, barring setbacks. […]

Rui Hachimura Unavailable Thursday

Per Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) will not suit up against the Orlando Magic on Thursday.
