Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (injury maintenance) is available for Saturday's meeting with OKC.

Dillon Brooks Available For Friday's Game
Houston Rockets guard Dillon Brooks (knee) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He was considered probable coming into this game, but will officially be active now.

Gary Trent Jr. Good To Go Against Chicago
Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Trent Jr. (calf) will suit up for Friday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. He appeared on the injury report because of a calf contusion.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) won't play in Friday's meeting with Philadelphia. This will mark his second consecutive absence due to the AC joint injury sustained during the preseason. Luckily, he's been practicing of late, so it appears he's inching his way closer to a return. With Immanuel Quickley (Pelvis) also out, Scottie Barnes […]
