Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that it remains unclear if tight end Will Dissly (knee) will need surgery.

Rudy Gobert Won't Return On Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (groin) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He only played five minutes before apparently aggravating his groin injury.

Kevin Porter Jr. To Sit Out On Monday

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

LeBron James Uncertain For Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He played 35 minutes during Sunday's contest, so it's not surprising to see James on the injury report here.

Landry Shamet To Start Versus Grizzlies

Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (hip) will make his return to the court after a three-game absence. He'll immediately move into the starting five with Chris Paul (hip) still sidelined.

Ja Morant Will Play On Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (illness) will suit up for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The superstar guard was dealing with a non-COVID related illness, but appears good enough to play in this game. The Grizzlies will have their regular starting five all healthy for this contest. The expectation is that Morant is going […]

Chris Paul Ruled Out For Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran guard will miss at least one more game due to hip soreness.

Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert Available On Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) and center Rudy Gobert (groin) are available for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz.

Marcus Morris Sr. Able To Practice On Monday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (calf) was able to suit up for practice on Monday. That is good news after Morris was forced to miss their last game on Sunday due to a left calf contusion. Amir Coffey joined the starting five on Sunday in place of Morris. That might be the case […]

Paul George Practices On Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (hamstring) was able to participate in Monday's practice. The superstar guard has missed the last five games due to right hamstring soreness. The fact George was able to practice is a step in the right direction. The Clippers play the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, so we'll see if George […]

Kevin Labanc Sitting Out Monday's Action

San Jose Sharks winger Kevin Labanc will be a health scratch for Monday's matchup against New Jersey. Noah Gregor will come into the lineup for his first appearance since Dec. 27. Labanc had a positive start to the season but has struggled to make an impact lately and now gets a chance to push the […]

Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic Available On Monday

Atlanta Hawks guards Trae Young (shoulder) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (quad) are both available for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Young was originally probable, but has now been upgraded to available for this game.

Dylan Strome Returns On First Line

Washington Capitals forward Dylan Strome will re-enter the lineup Monday against the Islanders, joining Alex Ovechkin and Conor Sheary on the first line. He's back after sitting out one game as a healthy scratch, and Lars Eller will now be forced to watch things from the press box on Monday. Strome has had a good […]

Clint Capela Available On Monday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) is officially available for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The big man is set to return after a 10-game absence due to a right calf issue. He's expected to be on a minutes limit, so that is going to limit his fantasy value for Monday's game. Onyeka Okongwu […]

Lauri Markkanen Ruled Out For Monday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 25-year-old will miss his second game in a row due to a left hip contusion. That being said, Jarred Vanderbilt should continue starting as long as Markkanen is out. He finished with eight points and nine rebounds […]

Marcus Pettersson Available Again Monday

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Marcus Pettersson (illness) will be back in the lineup Monday against Anaheim. He has recovered from a non-COVID illness that forced Pettersson to miss two games.
