Shohei Ohtani's Elbow Injury Much Different From His First

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow) wouldn't confirm whether he had a second Tommy John surgery, but he did say his second elbow procedure this September "was completely different" from the first Tommy John he had on his right arm in 2018.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Free-agent right-hander Jack Flaherty agreed on a one-year, $14 million with the Detroit Tigers on Thursday.

Anthony Edwards To Play On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The young guard has missed three of the last five games due to a right hip pointer.

Jaden McDaniels To Play On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (ankle) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. McDaniels has been dealing with a right ankle sprain, but appears ready to play again. The T-Wolves will move him right into the starting five and he's not expected to be under a minutes limit.

Brian Robinson Jr. Misses Another Practice

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was unable to practice with the team for the second straight day on Thursday.
