RotoBaller has assembled a list of daily NBA injury updates to help you prepare both your seasonal and daily fantasy basketball (DFS) lineups, every day of the NBA season. Below is our updated list of injured NBA players for December 16th, 2021. Only players on teams that are scheduled to play today will appear below […]

Ryan Donato Scores Only Goal On Wednesday For Seattle

Seattle Kraken center Ryan Donato has been a pretty solid bottom-six offensive option. He scored a goal on Wednesday as Seattle fell 4-1 to the Anaheim Ducks. Donato was able to beat Anthony Stolarz on the power play at 14:18 of the second period. That made the game 3-1 for Anaheim at the time. Donato […]

Philipp Grubauer Gets Knocked Around Then Out Wednesday

Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer took some knocks on Wednesday and then was taken out after two periods. Grubauer allowed three goals on 18 shots including an even-strength goal, power play tally, and also a short-handed goal. It appears that the Seattle goalie suffered a lower-body injury (Jared McCann collision) and at some point he […]

Trevor Zegras Snaps Mini Scoring Drought Wednesday

Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras found his way back into the scoring column on Wednesday. He scored a goal and added two takeaways in 16:21 of playing time against the Seattle Kraken. Zegras opened the scoring midway into the first period as he and Sonny Milano teamed up once again. Their odd-man rush was aided […]

Troy Terry Delivers Goal On Man Advantage Wednesday

Anaheim Ducks forward Troy Terry scored again on Wednesday night. His power play goal made it 3-0 Anaheim early in the second period. He converted an opportunity started by Sam Steel. It was Terry's 18th goal of the season and fifth on the man advantage. Overall, he has 29 points in 30 games. Terry also […]

Anthony Stolarz Enjoys Easy Win Wednesday

Anaheim Ducks goaltender Anthony Stolarz barely faced 20 shots on goal on Wednesday night. The Ducks easily defeated the Seattle Kraken 4-1 at home. Stolarz won his sixth consecutive start while facing 25 or fewer shots for the third straight time. Seattle could not mount much of an offense. Only a Ryan Donato power-play goal […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Lands On Injury Report

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey (hamstring) was unable to practice on Wednesday. He missed last week's matchup and hasn't brought much to the table this season. To be fair, he has picked up his play lately, but isn't someone worth rostering in most formats. Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway would possibly see more […]

Sam Steel Stays On Top Line Wednesday Against Seattle

Anaheim Ducks forward Sam Steel will stay on the top line Wednesday night against the Seattle Kraken. The assist and two shots on goal in St. Louis was enough to keep him with Troy Terry and Ryan Getzlaf. Does the injury to Adam Henrique help Steel? There is no doubt. According to "Magpie Hockey", Steel […]

Dolphins Bring In Damon Arnette

The Miami Dolphins have signed defensive back Damon Arnette to their practice squad. He was a 2020 first round selection by the Las Vegas Raiders. Although, he was cut by the organization after multiple off-field incidents. He failed to make much of an impact during his season and a half with the Raiders. Arnette did […]

Yanni Gourde Still In COVID Protocol On Wednesday

Seattle Kraken center Yanni Gourde remains in COVID protocol on Wednesday and will miss his third consecutive game. The center needs two negative tests in a row so he can return back to the lineup. More than likely that will not come until next week at the earliest. Gourde has six goals and 16 points […]

Kerryon Johnson Works Out For Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars worked out running back Kerryon Johnson on Wednesday. Veteran back Carlos Hyde (concussion) sat out of Wednesday's practice. That means, Dare Ogunbowale is the backup right now for Week 15. On paper, it makes sense for the Jaguars to attempt to find more depth behind James Robinson. However, Johnson hasn't played all […]

Philipp Grubauer Starts Wednesday Versus Anaheim

Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer will start on Wednesday in the TNT broadcast game against the Anaheim Ducks. The Seattle goalie has struggled of late allowing three or more goals in five straight appearances. He has yielded 17 goals on his last 124 shots faced. That includes being pulled at home against Pittsburgh where he […]

John Ross Placed On COVID List

New York Giants wide receiver John Ross has been placed on the COVID list and will miss Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys. It obviously would've been nice to have extra depth, but Ross hasn't been bringing much to the table this season anyway. That being said, Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton, and Sterling Shepard will […]

Keith Kinkaid Gets The Start Wednesday

New York Rangers goaltender Keith Kinkaid will get a rare start against Scott Wedgewood and the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday. It is probably one of the few times one will ever see a battle of the former New Jersey Devils goaltenders. Kinkaid is making his first start of the 2021-22 season after making seven starts […]

Filip Chytil Not In Lineup Wednesday Against Arizona

New York Rangers center Filip Chytil was not seen in warm-ups on Wednesday night in Arizona. He was officially listed as a healthy scratch. It seems Gerrard Gallant had enough of his 40.8% win rate on face-offs. Also, the lack of points and positive plays made on offense had to wear on the New York […]

Leonard Fournette Misses Wednesday's Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) did not suit up during Wednesday's practice. He seemed fine during their Week 14 contest, so possibly this was just a maintenance day. Although, it's still noteworthy especially with Giovani Bernard (knee) unavailable. That being said, Ronald Jones II could be looking at a significant workload, assuming […]

Anthony Stolarz Gets Another Start For Anaheim Wednesday

Anaheim Ducks goaltender Anthony Stolarz will start once more for the Ducks on Wednesday. The Ducks will entertain the Seattle Kraken, who are on the back end of a back-to-back set. Stolarz has been incredible of late in goal for Anaheim. He has two shutouts and four straight wins. Toss out the Vegas start, and […]

Limited Practice For Sammy Watkins

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins (knee) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice session. Watkins played only 23 offensive snaps and failed to reel in either of his two targets in the Week 14 loss to the Cleveland Browns while playing through a knee injury. His limited practice to begin the week suggests that […]

Thomas Bryant Expected Back Sometime In January

Washington Wizards head coach Wes Unseld Jr. stated the Wizards expect center Thomas Bryant (knee) to return from injury at some point in January. The team was expecting Bryant back in December, but Bryant needs more time to get back into game shape. Bryant's return could complicate things with centers Daniel Gafford and Montrezl Harrell […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Limited Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) and Malik Taylor (abdomen) were both limited in Wednesday's practice. Wideout Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) didn't take part in the practice. As long as Valdes-Scantling and Taylor don't suffer any setbacks in practice later this week, they should be good to go to suit up in Week […]

Kyle Kuzma Will Play Against Sacramento

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma will play Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. Kuzma missed two games while in the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but has been cleared to come back to game action. Deni Avdija will likely move back to the bench with Kuzma returning. Kuzma's conditioning may play a factor Wednesday, but […]

Aaron Jones Limited To Begin The Week

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. The Packers continue to limit Jones in practice after he sprained his right MCL in Week 10, but he should be able to play this weekend against the Baltimore Ravens. Jones did have two touchdowns (one rushing, one receiving) in […]

Davion Mitchell To Get First Career Start

Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell is set to make his first career NBA start Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. With Terence Davis (protocols) and Marvin Bagley III (protocols) in the league's protocols and Richaun Holmes (eye) out, the Kings have elected to have Chimezie Metu off the bench to match Montrezl Harrell and run […]

Travis Homer A Full Participant, Alex Collins Limited

Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer (hamstring) put in a full practice on Wednesday, while Alex Collins (abdomen) was limited. Homer has missed two of the team's last three games, but the Seahawks are optimistic that he will be active in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams. Collins should also be available, and veteran […]

Nicolas Batum And Paul George Remain Out Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers wings Nicolas Batum (ankle) and Paul George (elbow) will continue to sit Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Batum and George were questionable yet again, but continue to sit with their respective ailments. Terance Mann and Luke Kennard should continue to start and be viable streamers while Batum and George remain out. Isaiah […]

DK Metcalf Misses Wednesday's Session

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (back, foot) was a spectator at practice on Wednesday. Also missing practice on Wednesday were wide receivers Dee Eskridge (foot) and Freddie Swain (ankle). Metcalf has been managing a foot injury for most of the year, but the back ailment is new. We still expect the 24-year-old to be […]

Javonte Williams On The Week 15 Injury Report

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams (knee) was listed on the Week 15 injury report after getting in a limited practice session. Melvin Gordon (hip, thumb) was also limited, but both backs are expected to be available for the Week 15 game this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. After Williams exploded for well over […]

Richaun Holmes Officially Out Against Wizards

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (eye) will not play Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. Holmes was doubtful so no surprise here as he continues to deal with an eye injury. Alex Len will start again and is a low-end streamer for rebounds and blocks while Holmes remains out.
