San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Lonnie Walker IV (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (quad) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Khem Birch has filled in for him in the starting five, but hasn't done much statistically apart from his eight boards and two blocks […]

Grayson Allen Doubtful For Thursday's Contest

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Grayson Allen (hip) is listed as doubtful for Thursday night's game against the Boston Celtics. The 26-year-old is dealing with left hip soreness.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable Versus Celtics On Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday night's game against the Boston Celtics.

He's only missed one of the team's last six games. […]

Wendell Carter Jr. To Miss Thursday's Game Against Hornets

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist) will be sidelined once again on Thursday as the team faces the Charlotte Hornets.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) will not be suiting up for Thursday night's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. The rookie suffered a right ankle sprain in Tuesday's game.

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) will remain sidelined on Thursday when the team faces the Charlotte Hornets. The second-year pro suffered a left toe sprain in last Sunday's contest.

Gary Harris Questionable For Personal Reasons On Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (personal) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The 27-year-old hasn't suited up since March 22, so we're thinking he may be more on the doubtful side of questionable for Thursday's contest. Harris was dealing with a knee injury in mid-March, but undisclosed personal reasons […]

Gordon Hayward Doubtful For Thursday Versus Magic

Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward (foot) is listed as doubtful ahead of Thursday night's game against the Orlando Magic. The veteran is dealing with left foot soreness.
