Zach LaVine Available For Rematch With Philly

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (thumb) is listed as available ahead of the rematch versus Philadelphia. LaVine has been dealing with a left thumb sprain for a few weeks. However, he has continued to play through it, so his likely presence against Philly isn't much of a revelation. On Wednesday, the 26-year-old accumulated 27 points […]

Royce O'Neale Listed On Injury Report Versus Heat

Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (ankle) is once against listed on the injury report. Although, this time, it's for Saturday's showdown versus Miami in South Beach.

Kyle Lowry Questionable Against Utah

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) has been deemed questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the visiting Jazz. The veteran sprained his left ankle during the third quarter of Thursday's loss to the Boston Celtics and was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The 35-year-old has struggled offensively during his first seven […]

Brandon Ingram May Sit Again On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip) is questionable leading up to the matchup against Golden State. Ingram continues to be bothered by a bruise on his right hip, and if he doesn't suit up against the Warriors, it will mark his fourth straight absence. If that's the case, his next chance to play will […]

Killian Hayes Ruled Out For Friday’s Game

Detroit Pistons point guard Killian Hayes (thumb) will be sidelined for Friday's contest against Brooklyn due to a sprained left thumb. Hayes, who had started each of Detroit's first eight games, has scuffled mightily from the field to begin the season, shooting just 31 percent overall. In his absence, Cory Joseph, Cade Cunningham, and Saben […]

Pascal Siakam May Return Next Week

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) could return as early as next week, according to head coach Nick Nurse. Siakam hasn't played this season after he underwent surgery back in June to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The 27-year-old will most likely be slowly integrated back into the mix and should see […]

Donovan Mitchell Earns Questionable Tag For Saturday

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) has been deemed questionable to play in Saturday's matchup against Miami due to a sprained right ankle. The ailment sidelined Utah's leading scorer Thursday, allowing Joe Ingles to slot into the starting five. Jordan Clarkson erupted for a 30-point showing off the bench, as Bojan Bogdanovic and Mike […]

Jaylen Brown Will Miss Saturday’s Contest

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup vs. the Mavericks due to a tight right hamstring. Brown was hampered by the issue Thursday, even as he logged his fifth game this season with at least three triples made. When Brown missed his first contest of the year […]

Lauri Markkanen To Miss Another Game

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Lauri Markkanen won't play on Friday against the Raptors as he continues to be sidelined by the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. Markkanen wasn't available on Wednesday for the clash with Portland, and neither was Kevin Love, who remains out for the same reason. As a result, rookie Evan Mobley […]

Anthony Davis Earns Questionable Tag For Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis (thumb) has been deemed questionable to play in Saturday's contest against Portland due to a sprained right thumb. Davis has been sturdy to open the season, averaging a robust 25.4 points and 11.9 boards per contest, while adding 2.3 blocks for good measure. His role for L.A. with […]

Charlotte Loses P.J. Washington For Next Two Games

Charlotte Hornets power forward/center P.J. Washington (elbow) has been ruled out both for Friday's contest against Sacramento, along with Sunday's matchup vs. the Clippers due to a left elbow hyperextension. With the team planning to reevaluate him next week, his odds of suiting up Monday against the Lakers don't look particularly strong either. Washington has […]

Dillon Brooks Remains Sidelined On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks (hand) remains out ahead of Friday's matchup with Washington. Brooks hasn't played yet this year as he continues to recover from a fracture in his left hand. However, he has been practicing, so it appears as if his return is imminent. In the meantime, De'Anthony Melton will remain in the […]

Nicolas Claxton Faces Multi-Week Absence

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (illness) will remain sidelined for approximately another two weeks as he is set to be built back up to rejoin the team, per head coach Steve Nash.

Gary Harris Returns For Friday’s Contest

Orlando Magic shooting guard Gary Harris (ankle) has been cleared to take the floor Friday against San Antonio, ending his absence at two games. Harris has been utilized as a bench piece for the Magic in the early portion of the year, averaging just 6.3 points per game. As Orlando prioritizes development from its young […]

Jakob Poeltl Out Again On Friday Night

San Antonio Spurs center Jacob Poeltl won't play during Friday's matchup against Orlando, as expected. Poeltl remains out while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. His first absence was on Wednesday against the Mavericks, which opened the door for Drew Eubanks to enter the starting lineup and finish with 10 points, […]

Kyle Kuzma Rejoins Starting Five Friday

Washington Wizards small/power forward Kyle Kuzma (forearm) has been given the green light to suit up for Friday's contest against the Grizzlies, reclaiming his spot among the starting five. Kuzma departed Washington's previous outing due to a right forearm contusion, but he sounds healthy enough that fantasy managers should have no hesitation in deploying him. […]

P.J. Washington Listed As Doubtful For Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (foot) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The young forward continues to be bothered by a foot issue that has sidelined him multiple times early in the season. His absence would likely mean more minutes for Mason Plumlee and Jalen McDaniels. Washington hasn't played well […]

Maxi Kleber Ruled Out For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks center Maxi Kleber (oblique) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. He continues to sit out while he battles a lingering oblique issue. That is something that is likely going to force him to miss several games. The Mavs are hopeful that Kristaps Porzingis (back) will suit up on […]
