ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Arizona Cardinals hope to re-sign impending free-agent tight end Trey McBride this offseason.

Although he inexplicably scored just […]

Cade Cunningham Available Versus Charlotte

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (ankle) is available for Sunday's matchup with Charlotte. He wasn't available for Friday's win over the 76ers. As a result, Malik Beasley entered the starting lineup and finished with 36 points, a career-high. But with Cunningham back in the Mix, Beasley will head back to the bench, which should lower […]

Texans To Target Mack Hollins?

ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that the Houston Texans might look to fill in around No. 1 wide receiver Nico Collins this offseason with more targeted, role-oriented acquisitions. Graziano mentions Buffalo Bills impending unrestricted free-agent wideout Mack Hollins specifically as a potential target for Houston. Many teams like what the Bills did at receiver in 2024 […]

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) won't play on Sunday against Detroit. In Friday's win over the San Antonio Spurs, the 23-year-old had 24 points and 10 assists.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that the Kansas City Chiefs want to keep impending free-agent wide receiver Marquise Brown in the fold going into the 2025 season.

LaMelo Ball Now Questionable For Sunday Afternoon

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons. He had 24 points and 10 assist in Friday's narrow win over the San Antonio Spurs. However, the 23-year-old is now in danger of missing Sunday's contest because of ankle soreness. If Ball isn't available, KJ Simpson, who had 15 points, […]

Utah Hockey Club left wing Matias Maccelli will skip Sunday's meeting with the Washington Capitals as a healthy scratch.

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) isn't available for Sunday's clash with the Toronto Raptors. He injured his right ankle during the February 1 encounter against the Brooklyn Nets.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) won't play on Sunday versus the visiting 76ers. He'll now miss his fourth-straight game because of a calf strain.
