Julianna Pena Shocks The World Saturday

As we mentioned before this fight, Julianna Pena's best shot at victory would be to catch Amanda Nunes in a submission, and that is what happened in the co-main event of UFC 269 on Saturday night. Just 3:26 into the second round, Pena locked in the rear-naked choke to shock the world and become the […]

Kadarius Toney Placed On COVID-19 List

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney has been placed on the COVID-19 list. If vaccinated, he can return to the Giants after two negative tests 24 hours apart. Right now his status for Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys is uncertain. Darius Slayton, Kenny Golladay, and Sterling Shepard would be in line to start, […]

Santiago Ponzinibbio Suffers Decision Loss On Main Card

For the first time in his professional career, Santiago Ponzinibbio has lost two of three contests, with the latest coming on a split-decision loss to Geoff Neal at UFC 269 on Saturday. The loss was the only decision on the main card of Saturday's action. In 15 minutes of action, Ponzinibbio actually out-struck Neal by […]

Travis Homer Hopeful To Play In Week 15

Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer (calf, hamstring) is hopeful to play in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Pete Carroll. This doesn't mean a whole lot since Rashaad Penny has emerged as the lead back. Penny looked sharp versus the Houston Texans in Week 14, so the Seahawks should […]

Geoff Neal Takes Lone Decision On The Main Card

Avoiding a three-fight losing streak did not come easy for Geoff Neal on Saturday, but he was able to take the lone decision on the UFC 269 main card by defeating Santiago Ponzinibbio via split decision (30-27, 28-29, 29-28). The stats were very similar in this contest between two evenly matched opponents, with Neal landing […]

Jared Cook Misses Monday's Practice

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Jared Cook (quad) did not suit up for practice on Monday. There hasn't been much information on this injury, so it might not be serious. Regardless, the 34-year-old veteran hasn't been much of a fantasy option anyway. Donald Parham (knee) sat out of Monday's practice as well, so the Chargers […]

Cody Garbrandt Suffers Fifth Loss In Six Contests

Now 12-5 in his MMA career, Cody Garbrandt has suffered all five of his losses in his last six contests. Alarmingly, three of the last four losses for Garbrandt have been first-round knockouts, including the knockout loss to Kai Kara-France at UFC 269 on Saturday. It's sad to say, but Garbrandt may have a lot […]

Malcolm Brown Returning To Practice

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown (quad) is set to resume practicing this week. He has missed six straight games and there haven't been many updates on Brown lately. However, he couldn't be returning at a better time. Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed, and Phillip Lindsay are all on the COVID list. Brown could be asked […]

Seth Curry A Late Scratch Monday Night

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (shoulder) will not play Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Curry was ruled out minutes before tip-off with what has been ruled as shoulder soreness. Curry was not listed on the injury report all day, but his shoulder likely flared up during warm-ups. Furkan Korkmaz will get the spot start and […]

Aaron Gordon and Will Barton Remain Questionable

Denver Nuggets forwards Aaron Gordon (back) and Will Barton (illness) are both trending toward game-time calls Monday against the Washington Wizards. Gordon popped up on today's injury report with some back pain, but was able to go through shootaround. Barton, on the other hand, is dealing with a non-COVID illness and was not present at […]

JaMychal Green Will Not Play Against Washington

Denver Nuggets forward/center JaMychal Green (ankle) has been ruled out Monday against the Washington Wizards per head coach Michael Malone. Green suffered an ankle sprain on Saturday against the Spurs and was doubtful to play. Green's been the backup big behind Nikola Jokic so they will likely rely more on Jeff Green and Zeke Nnaji. […]

Kai Kara-France Dominates In First-Round Knockout

Kai Kara-France faced the biggest name of his career at UFC 269 and delivered with a first-round knockout victory over former champion Cody Garbrandt on Saturday. Kara-France scored his last knockout win in 2017 before earning first-round knockouts in his last two bouts. In 3:21 of action, Kara-France landed 23 significant strikes while stuffing Garbrandt's […]

Raulian Paiva Has Winning Streak Broken

Entering his UFC 269 main-card opener on a three-fight winning streak, Raulian Paiva was unable to make it out of the first round against Sean O'Malley on Saturday, suffering a first-round TKO loss. Through nearly five minutes of action, Paiva was only able to land 11 significant strikes compared to the 39 of O'Malley. A […]

Sean O'Malley Wins Third Straight By Knockout

With another first-round knockout to his name, Sean O'Malley tallied up a first-round finish of Raulian Paiva with 18 seconds left in the round on Saturday. Through 4:42 of action, O'Malley collected 39 significant strikes (40 total strikes) and stuffed both of Paiva's takedown attempts. After his loss to Vera, O'Malley has now won his […]

Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr., Steven Adams All Active

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (foot), forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) and center Steven Adams (ankle) are all active and available to play Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. All three players were listed as questionable, but all went through shootaround without any hiccups. Bane and Adams end up not missing any time with their respective […]

Desmond Bane May Sit Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (foot) is questionable to play Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Bane was added to the injury report later in the afternoon so he will likely come down to a game-time call. If Bane is unable to go, De'Anthony Melton, John Konchar and Jarrett Culver are all candidates to pick up […]

Gabe Vincent Draws Another Start Monday

Miami Heat point guard Gabe Vincent will be among the starting five for Monday's game against the Cavaliers. Vincent drew his second start of the year Saturday, shifting into the starting group in place of Caleb Martin (health and safety protocols), who had been filling in for Jimmy Butler (tailbone). Vincent did not score in […]

Steven Adams Upgraded To Questionable Monday

Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable to play Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Adams suffered a sprained left ankle on Saturday and left the game with six points, nine rebounds and three assists in just 21 minutes. Adams was originally doubtful to play Monday, but has progressed through morning shootaround […]

Chimezie Metu Rejoins Starting Five Monday

Sacramento Kings power forward Chimezie Metu will start Monday's contest against the Raptors, bumping Marvin Bagley III back to the second unit. Metu was a fixture of the Sacramento starting five for most of the past month, having averaged 9.4 points and 7.5 rebounds per game during that span. He and Bagley figure to share […]

Jaylen Brown Will Be Limited To Around 30 Minutes

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is expected to play "around 30 minutes" Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Brown is returning to the court after a five-game absence with a hamstring injury. The Celtics are wisely being cautious with Brown who has already had multiple injuries this year. The Celtics also don't play again until […]

Isaiah Thomas Joins Nuggets’ G League Team

Point guard Isaiah Thomas has signed with the Grand Rapids Gold for the NBA G League ahead of the G League Showcase, which is set to run from Sunday through next Wednesday. Thomas appeared in 12 games during the 2018-19 season with the Nuggets, averaging 8.1 points per game off the bench. The now 32-year-old […]

Cam Reddish Has Minutes Cap Lifted For Monday

Atlanta Hawks small forward Cam Reddish will not face a minutes restriction for Monday's game against Houston. Reddish previously missed four contests due to a wrist sprain, before returning Friday and logging 17 minutes off the bench. The ailment appeared to bother Reddish, who shot 0-for-6 from the floor overall. With reports that Atlanta could […]

Paul Millsap Lands In Health And Safety Protocols

Brooklyn Nets power forward/center Paul Millsap (health and safety protocols) has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, knocking him out for an indeterminate period. Millsap's role off the bench for Brooklyn kept him from drawing much fantasy consideration, but his absence could pave the way for Blake Griffin to reenter the rotation, […]

Justin Holiday Will Miss Monday’s Contest

Indiana Pacers small forward Justin Holiday (reconditioning) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors. Holiday absence extends to six games, while Chris Duarte figures to continue getting elevated run with him on the sidelines. Prior to going down, Holiday had been finding his rhythm offensively, scoring in double figures in five of […]

Tuesday’s Bulls-Pistons, Thursday’s Raptors-Bulls Postponed

The matchup that was set to take place between the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons on Tuesday has been postponed under the league's health and safety protocols, becoming the first game wiped from the slate this season due to the circumstance. Chicago's COVID-19 outbreak has also caused the second postponement, which knocks out the game […]
