Austin Reaves Deemed Probable On Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Austin Reaves (ankle) is expected to play on Monday against the Detroit Pistons despite being listed with a sprained ankle. The 26-year-old hasn't missed a game yet this year and has provided a high-quality scoring punch from the wing. He's a starter in any fantasy format as he's averaging 17.3 points, […]

De'Anthony Melton Won't Suit Up On Monday

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will have to miss his fourth game in a row while dealing with a strained lower back. The two-way guard experienced a lot of back issues last season with the 76ers, and it caused him to miss more games than he played. Hopefully, the strain isn't too severe […]

Caris LeVert Questionable Against Bucks On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) is suffering from some knee soreness, which has made him questionable to go up against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. The 30-year-old missed the team's last matchup with the Bucks for the same reason, so it's unclear if he'll be able to give it a go at the moment. […]

Kyle Kuzma Ruled Out Again With Groin Strain

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (groin) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game as he continues to deal with a right groin strain.

Andrew Wiggins Probable On Monday Against Wizards

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (back) is expected to play on Monday against the Washington Wizards. The veteran wing has received a probable status while dealing with a lower back strain that kept him out of two games.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (concussion) is listed as out for Monday night's matchup against the Toronto Raptors.

Bradley Beal Questionable Going Into Monday Night's Matchup Against Philadelphia

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (elbow) is listed as questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Beal is dealing with a right elbow sprain that's kept him out of one game this season, though he was able to play in Phoenix's most recent game on Saturday.

Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach LaVine (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Utah Jazz. LaVine is dealing with a right adductor strain.

Anthony Davis Listed As Probable For Monday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (hip) is listed as active for the Lakers' matchup on Monday night against the Detroit Pistons.

Joel Embiid Listed As Out For Monday Night's Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is listed as out for Monday night's game against the Phoenix Suns. His status comes as no surprise given Philadelphia's extra-cautious approach with the 30-year-old's health. Embiid's recovery from a knee injury sustained in January 2024 has taken much longer than anticipated to fully recover from, leading to the […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Listed As Questionable For Monday Night

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Onyeka Okongwu Lands On Injury Report

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (toe) has been added to the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Hawks might decide to give Okongwu a rest night on Sunday. He has been quiet since his 28-point outing during the season opener. […]

Immanuel Quickley Doubtful For Monday's Game

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) is considered doubtful ahead of Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Quickley has been sidelined due to a right pelvic contusion that he suffered during the season opener. The Raptors continue to list him as doubtful, so it doesn't sound like he's close to a return. Davion Mitchell figures […]

Austin Reaves Participates During Sunday's Practice

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (ankle) was able to suit up and participate during Sunday's practice. This news comes after Reaves went to the locker room during Friday's game due to an injury. Reaves was able to return to the contest, but appears to still be banged up. It seems like Reaves should be […]

Jarred Vanderbilt Practices On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) was seen doing shooting drills during Sunday's practice. It sounds like Vanderbilt is making progress, but the team hasn't given a solid timetable for his return to the court. Vanderbilt has been out all season due while he recovers from foot surgery. Jaxson Hayes should continue seeing increased […]

Ben Simmons Available On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Nets continue to be cautious with Simmons, but he'll suit up for this game.

Desmond Bane Diagnosed With An Oblique Strain

Memphis Grizzlies forward Desmond Bane (oblique) was diagnosed with a right oblique strain. He is considered "week-to-week." The 26-year-old has averaged 18.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.0 steals while shooting 40.6% from behind the arc this season. Of course, this is a tough blow for the Grizzlies, although it is magnified, considering Bane […]

Marcus Smart Labeled Week-To-Week

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (ankle) was diagnosed with a sprained right ankle, an injury he sustained during the October 30 meeting with the Brooklyn Nets. He is considered "week-to-week."

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Hawkins (back) is questionable heading into Sunday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks. The 22-year-old has been battling a back issue of late, so this isn't the first time he's appeared on the injury report. However, barring a setback, he should be good to go. The Pels don't have CJ McCollum […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Questionable Against Dallas

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. Carter is dealing with a knee issue, keeping him off the floor for Friday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Bradley Beal Returning On Saturday Night

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Bradley Beal (elbow) will play on Saturday versus the Portland Trail Blazers. He's missed the last two games because of a sprained right elbow.
