Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (hip) won't be in the lineup for the third straight time Thursday against Orlando. He is working his way back from a sore left hip.

Desmond Bane Rested On Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (toe) won't play Thursday against the Magic. He has only just returned from injury and the Grizzlies complete a back-to-back, so the team has decided to give Bane a night off. The 24-year-old had a nice 19-point showing with a career-high 11 rebounds and four assists Wednesday versus Charlotte. Bane […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hip) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was held out of Wednesday's session.

Orlando Magic forward/center Bol Bol (health protocols) will miss a second consecutive game Thursday against Memphis.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) has been labeled as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Memphis.

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren exited Wednesday's matchup against Chicago in the fourth quarter after suffering a rib contusion on a screen.

Jonnu Smith Back At Practice

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday after picking up a DNP on Wednesday.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Skyy Moore (hand) did not practice on Thursday and has been ruled out for the Week 18 regular season finale on Saturday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders.

The Week 17 game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals that was postponed on Monday night after Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest in the first quarter will not be finished.

James Conner Back On The Practice Field

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee, shin) was on the field for the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday.
