Dereck Lively II Questionable For Tuesday Night

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors. The 20-year-old injured his shoulder during warmups ahead of the November 4 matchup against the Indiana Pacers, so he's been on the shelf for the last four games. With P.J. Washington (knee) doubtful, the Mavs could be without some of […]

Isaiah Stewart Draws A Probable Tag For Tuesday

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game versus the Miami Heat. With Jalen Duren (ankle) sidelined for the last few games, Stewart has been handling business underneath the basket. However, he's struggled this season, averaging 5.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks. But if Duren remains out, Stewart's ceiling should remain […]

Jalen Duren Questionable Versus The Heat

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is questionable heading into Tuesday's meeting with the Miami Heat. The 20-year-old sprained his ankle during the November 6 matchup with the Charlotte Hornets and has missed the last two games as a result. Fortunately, the questionable tag gives him a chance to play. If anything, it at least […]

Jimmy Butler Still Out On Tuesday Night

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Pistons. This will mark his second-consecutive absence because of a sprained ankle. But Miami doesn't play again until Friday in Indiana, so, hopefully, the extra days off will allow him to get back on the floor. Without Butler in the equation, Haywood […]

Malik Monk Out At Least Two Weeks

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks after suffering a "moderate" right ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Phoenix Suns. The 2017 No. 11 overall pick has provided valuable minutes off the bench for the Kings, averaging 12.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists. But now that he'll be […]

Zach LaVine Active For Monday's Game

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (groin) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. LaVine was tagged as probable coming into this game, but there was some doubt surrounding his status after playing 31 minutes in their last game. He missed three games due to this groin issue, but appears to be good […]

Luka Doncic Probable Versus The Warriors

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (groin) is probable heading into Tuesday's meeting with the Warriors. This is his second time listed on the injury report because of a left groin strain. However, it didn't keep Doncic off the floor for Sunday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. He logged 40 minutes in that one, so he […]

Jayson Tatum Could Miss Tuesday's Game

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Tatum appears to have suffered a minor ankle issue during Sunday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Celtics will likely wait until closer to tip-off on Tuesday before making a final decision on Tatum's status. If […]

Joel Embiid Officially Active For Debut On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee, suspension) isn't listed on the injury report, meaning he will play on Tuesday against the New York Knicks. The 30-year-old wasn't ready to suit up to begin the 2024-25 campaign. However, while ready was ready to go, he missed the last three games after he was suspended for a […]

Al Horford Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (toe) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It's the first night of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the Celtics rest Horford here. The absence of Horford would mean that Neemias Queta, Luke Kornet, and Xavier Tillman Sr. should […]

Trae Young Won't Play Against The Celtics

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) won't play in Tuesday's meeting with the Celtics. He's dealing with right Achilles Tendinitis, with Tuesday's absence marking his first of the 2024-25 campaign. Outside of Young's turnover woes and 33.3% shooting from behind the arc, he has played well this season, averaging 23.9 points and 11.5 assists. As […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Ruled Out For Monday

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Finney-Smith was a late addition to the injury report due to a left ankle sprain. The team has decided to hold him out on Monday, but hopefully it won't be a long term issue. The absence […]

De'Andre Hunter Won't Play On Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Hunter has missed the last nine games due to personal reasons. It sounds like him and his partner have welcomed their first child, but the baby was born two months premature. It's unclear when Hunter is going […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Out Again On Tuesday Night

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) won't play on Tuesday versus the Charlotte Hornets. This will mark his fifth-straight absence, so his next chance to get on the floor will be on Wednesday against the Pacers. In the meantime, Goga Bitadze will likely remain with the first five, with the 25-year-old averaging 10.5 points, […]

Anthony Davis Set To Get Eye Exam Monday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (eye) took a hit to the eye from Jakob Poeltl on Sunday night. ESPN's Dave McMenamin says that the superstar big man was experiencing swelling in his eye and he will have his eye examined as a precautionary measure on Monday. Right now, it seems like Davis could need […]

Malik Monk Ruled Out On Monday

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday night's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. The sixth man is dealing with a sprained ankle and won't be suiting up for the first time this season. Keon Ellis should see some more minutes off of the bench while Doug McDermott could see […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Questionable Monday With Ankle Sprain

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) was a later addition to the injury report when he popped up in the afternoon. The veteran is apparently dealing with an ankle sprain which he didn't seem to suffer during the team's back-to-back. With the later addition to the report, it appears more than likely that he'll miss […]

Trey Murphy III Available To Make Season Debut Monday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (hamstring) has officially been upgraded to available, according to the team's X account. He'll make his season debut against the Brooklyn Nets after dealing with a hamstring issue that stemmed from the preseason. There hasn't been any word about a minute restriction, but it's likely that he won't […]

Malaki Branham Questionable Against Kings

San Antonio Spurs guard Malaki Branham (ankle) is considered questionable again on Monday for their game against the Sacramento Kings. The former first-round pick was unable to play in their last contest on Saturday due to the same ankle issue, so it's unclear if he'll be able to suit up or not. Tre Jones (ankle) […]

Jalen Smith Draws A Questionable Tag On Monday

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (illness) remains on the injury report as he deals with an illness and he's officially listed as questionable for the contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 24-year-old was previously listed with a knee injury ahead of their game on Saturday and was able to play through it. The illness is […]

Zach LaVine Listed As Probable Against Cavaliers

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (adductor) is still dealing with a right adductor strain but he was able to return from a three-game absence on Saturday. Now, he's listed as probable to play again on Monday versus the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers. The two-time All-Star played a full 31 minutes on Saturday so he shouldn't be […]

Ausar Thompson Cleared By NBA's Fitness-To-Play Panel

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (illness) had his rookie season cut short with a blood clot issue back in March and hasn't been able to play with the team since then. Now, as reported by Shams Charania, the dynamic wing has been cleared to return to the floor by the NBA's fitness-to-play panel. He'll likely […]

Chet Holmgren Set To Miss At Least 8-10 Weeks

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (hip) suffered a hip injury in Sunday's game, which rendered him unable to come back and compete.

Chet Holmgren Exits Sunday's Game With A Hip Injury

Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren (hip) exited Sunday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. The 2022 No. 2 overall pick didn't last long in this one, logging just five minutes before taking a hard fall on his hip. But considering he needed to be helped off the court, fantasy managers likely won't have him […]

Obi Toppin Unavailable On Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. Yikes, the injury list continues to grow for the Pacers early in the season. Toppin will join the group of inactive players due to a left ankle sprain. Jarace Walker figures to see additional playing time […]
