John Wall To Miss Next Two Weeks

Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (abdomen) is set to miss at least the next two weeks of action. The Clippers have decided to shut down the veteran guard for a couple of weeks while he recovers from an abdominal strain. His absence should mean that Terance Mann continues to get significant playing time in […]

Harrison Smith, Kene Nwangwu Will Play In Wild Card Round

Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith (knee) and running back/kick returner Kene Nwangwu (illness) are both active for Sunday's playoff game against the New York Giants.

Meanwhile, Nwangwu registered a league-leading 35 kick returns for 920 yards (and […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Ruled Out On Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (knee) won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. The 33-year-old will miss his first game since early December due to a left knee issue. This is bad timing with Paul George (hamstring) also missing Sunday's game. That means, Amir Coffey will move into the starting […]

Daishen Nix To Make First Career Start

Houston Rockets guard Daishen Nix is set to make his first career NBA start against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. The Rockets are shorthanded with Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) injured and Jalen Green serving his one-game suspension. That being said, Nix will get a chance to show what he can do in the starting […]

DeMar DeRozan To Sit Out On Sunday

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He'll miss his third straight contest while he deals with a strained right quad. The organization appears to be optimistic about DeRozan getting back on the court soon. In the meantime, Alex Caruso will draw another start […]

Zach LaVine Available On Sunday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (hand) is available for Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. There was some concern that LaVine would miss this game as he continues to deal with a right hand contusion. The 27-year-old was able to play through the issue on Friday, so he'll do the same here. DeMar DeRozan […]

Stephen Curry Available For Back-To-Back Set

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (shoulder) is available for the upcoming back-to-back set. The 34-year-old is coming off a left shoulder injury that sidelined him for multiple weeks. That being said, it wouldn't shock anyone if the Warriors decided to limit Curry. Instead, it appears Curry is available for the back-to-back set starting on […]

Jaylen Waddle Returns Versus Bills

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) returned to Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. He exited during the first quarter and was initially listed as questionable to return. Now, the second-year wideout has checked back into the contest and will look to bounce back from a frustrating start in which he was unable to […]

Jaylen Waddle Questionable To Return Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) is questionable to return against the Buffalo Bills. Waddle exited during the first quarter of Sunday's Wild Card game after failing to catch a pass on the right sideline. Prior to departing, the second-year wideout had zero receptions on two targets. Trent Sherfield should step into the No. […]

Tom Brady Will Have Options On Free-Agent Market

Mike McCarthy's Job Believed To Be Safe

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy's job is believed to be safe no matter the result of the team's wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night, according to owner Jerry Jones. Even top head-coaching candidate and former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton doesn't consider the Cowboys job to be an […]

Terron Armstead Active For Dolphins

Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Terron Armstead (hip, knee, pectoral, toe) is officially active for the wild-card game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills on Sunday after coming into the game with a questionable tag.

Yency Almonte Avoids Arbitration

The Los Angeles Dodgers and right-handed reliever Yency Almonte avoided arbitration after agreeing to a one-year, $1.5 million contract. The 28-year-old signed with the Dodgers on a minor-league deal before 2022 but missed roughly two months due to elbow inflammation. Although, his 2022 campaign may have been his best performance yet. He spent four seasons with […]

Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Be The Starter In 2023

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to be the team's starting quarterback next season, according to league sources. And if the Dolphins pull off a huge upset and beat the division-rival Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round on Sunday, there's a chance that Tagovailoa could be cleared from the concussion protocol to play […]

Tyler Huntley To Start, But Anthony Brown Could Play

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (shoulder) is expected to start in Sunday night's wild-card game against the Cincinnati Bengals after he made good progress this week while working through his right shoulder injury. However, it is a "possibility" that the Ravens use both Huntley and rookie Anthony Brown under center against the Bengals. Starter Lamar […]

Drew Smith Settles At $1.3 Million

The New York Mets and reliever Drew Smith avoided arbitration after agreeing to a one-year, $1.3 million deal. The 29-year-old has effectively contributed to Buck Showalter's bullpen despite missing some time in 2022. He suffered a back and finger injury and hasn't been too healthy since joining the pros in 2018. Although Smith still commenced 44 appearances […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: I know that you can look at it from both perspectives, but if you don't think this is an extraordinary window of opportunity to grab some shares of Jabari Smith Jr., then you're looking at it from the wrong angle.

Kyle Higashioka Gets $1.46 Million To Avoid Arbitration

The New York Yankees and catcher Kyle Higashioka agreed to a one-year, $1.46 million deal to avoid salary arbitration. The 32-year-old has one more year of arbitration before entering free agency.

Isaiah McKenzie Ruled Out For Wild-Card Game

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (hamstring), who was listed as questionable for Sunday's game, is officially inactive for the wild-card contest against the Miami Dolphins after he missed practice on Thursday and Friday.

Guardians, James Karinchak Avoid Arbitration

The Cleveland Guardians and reliever James Karinchak avoided salary arbitration after inking a one-year, $1.5 million deal.

He dealt with a shoulder strain this past season which sidelined him for a considerable amount […]

Jose Trevino Avoids Arbitration

Catcher Jose Trevino and the New York Yankees agreed to a one-year, $2.36 million deal to avoid salary arbitration.
