Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said on Monday that wide receiver Marquise Brown's snap count will keep increasing.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) is dealing with calf soreness and has officially been listed as questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) said he should be in a better place injury-wise with his ankle for the Christmas Day game in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers than he was in Saturday's win over the Houston Texans.

Brenton Strange Comes Back To Earth With Minimal Production

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange hauled in 2-of-4 targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He also coughed up a costly fumble just before halftime.

Free-agent right-hander Noah Davis announced on his Instagram account that he signed a minor-league deal with the Boston Red Sox over the weekend.

Wil Myers Done With Professional Baseball

Free-agent outfielder/first baseman Wil Myers said last week that his professional playing career is over, even though he doesn't plan on officially retiring.

Kevin Love Available Against Nets

Miami Heat forward Kevin Love (personal) has been listed for personal reasons on the injury report but is considered available for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Uncertain To Face Minnesota

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (leg) is questionable for Monday's matchup versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 32-year-old has had a rough season, averaged 11.3 points and 33.7% shooting from behind the arc, both career-lows. With Trae Young (foot) also questionable, Bogdanovic has a chance to get more involved against Minnesota. However, if Young and Bogdanovic […]

Nikola Jovic Available Monday Against Nets

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (ankle) appeared on the injury report Monday but is considered available for the matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He's still dealing with a left ankle sprain but is good to go after playing on Saturday. He finished with four points, one rebound, and one steal while shooting 0-for-3 from the […]

Trae Young Questionable On Monday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (heel) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves. The former Oklahoma Sooner missed Saturday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies because of a heel contusion. He's also battled Achilles soreness, although he's been able to play through that injury. At any rate, if Young isn't available, Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, […]

Andrew McCutchen Re-Signs With Pirates

Free-agent outfielder/designated hitter Andrew McCutchen re-signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday on a one-year deal worth $5 million, according to a source.

Eloy Jimenez Agrees On Minors Deal With Rays

Free-agent designated hitter Eloy Jimenez and the Tampa Bay Rays agreed to a minor-league deal on Monday, according to sources. The 28-year-old played for the Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles this past season and is now hoping to rebuild his career with the Rays.

Jimmy Butler Tagged As Questionable Against Nets

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets due to an illness.

John Collins Doubtful Against Cleveland

Utah Jazz forward John Collins (hip) isn't expected to play on Monday versus the Cavs. The veteran had 13 points, 11 rebounds, and one steal in Saturday's win over the Brooklyn Nets.

Walker Buehler, Red Sox Agree On One-Year Deal

Free-agent right-hander Walker Buehler and the Boston Red Sox agreed to a one-year, $21.05 million deal on Monday, according to sources.

Ricky Council IV Tagged As Questionable On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ricky Council IV (knee) is listed as questionable to face the San Antonio Spurs on Monday while he deals with some knee soreness.

Keyonte George Unlikely To Play Against The Cavs

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) isn't expected to play on Monday against the Cavaliers. He has been a productive option for Utah this season, averaging 16.2 points and 5.7 assists.

Tyrese Maxey Appears On Injury Report, Considered Probable

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) was a later addition to the injury report on Monday but is considered to be probable to face the San Antonio Spurs.
