Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart and small forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest against the Hornets.

Aaron Jones Puts In A Full Practice Tuesday

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) was listed as a full participant at Tuesday's practice.

Kyle Lowry Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Portland due to personal reasons. Lowry's absence is his second in a row, paving the way for Gabe Vincent to see increased run and Jimmy Butler to enjoy elevated assists upside. Lowry has been an assist dynamo in his own […]

Aaron Rodgers Practicing In Full Tuesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. Rodgers fractured his left pinkie toe in mid-November, but he was practicing in full during last week's playoff bye and said his toe won't be an issue during the postseason. To be completely honest, his toe really has never been […]

Donovan Mitchell Lands In Concussion Protocol, Out Wednesday

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Houston after having been placed in the league's concussion protocol Tuesday.

Derrick Henry Taking Contact In Practice

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (foot) was in pads and was taking contact during practice on Tuesday.

Jrue Holiday Draws Questionable Tag For Wednesday’s Game

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest vs. Memphis due to a sore left ankle.

Kemba Walker Returns For Tuesday’s Game, Will Start

New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been given the green light to suit up for Tuesday's contest vs. the Timberwolves.

Myles Turner Will Miss At Least Two Weeks Of Action

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (foot) will be shut down for at least the next two weeks as he deals with a stress reaction in his left foot. The move comes at a particularly inopportune time for both the team and Turner ahead of the Trade Deadline, with the big man's league-leading 2.8 blocks per […]

Ondrej Palat Doubtful For Tuesday's Game

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ondrej Palat (undisclosed) is considered doubtful to play against the Kings on Tuesday night, according to head coach Jon Cooper.

Filip Gustavsson Recalled By Senators

The Ottawa Senators have recalled goaltender Filip Gustavsson from Belleville of the American Hockey League.

Chase Edmonds Makes Minimal Impact

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds failed to create much noise against the Los Angeles Rams. He rushed eight times for 28 yards in Monday's Wild Card round loss.

[…]

Mason Rudolph Could Become Starter In 2022

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has likely taken his last snap in the NFL. The organization is under the assumption that the 40-year-old quarterback won't return in 2022. That being said, Mason Rudolph would be the next option in line. He is currently signed through the 2022 season. It appears Rudolph is in line to […]

Deshaun Watson Not Expected To Play For Texans Again

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is unlikely to suit up for the organization again, according to general manager Nick Caserio.

Denny McCarthy One To Watch In The Desert

Denny McCarthy, who is ranked No. 178 in the world, will be teeing it up for the fifth time at the American Express.

Will Zalatoris Kicks Off His Year This Week

Will Zalatoris enters this week ranked No. 37 in the world after reaching as high as No. 27 this past summer.
