Tee Higgins To Miss Offseason Workouts

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) is expected to miss all of the offseason workouts, according to head coach Zac Taylor.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Could Miss Game 5

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Miami Heat.

The expectation is that Bogdanovic […]

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Miami Heat.

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (abdominal) still needs more time to recover. At this point, it's fair to assume Hill won't play at all during the first round. Head coach Mike Budenholzer mentioned that Hill is not day-to-day and is going to need some extra time to rest. Fantasy managers should expect Jevon Carter to […]

Alex Caruso Uncertain For Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (head) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was originally ruled out, but it sounds like Caruso has a chance to suit up.

Bryce Harper To Test His Arm Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (elbow) is scheduled to test his injured right elbow on Tuesday by throwing in a pre-game workout in Philadelphia.
