Bogdan Bogdanovic To Play Against Suns

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) will play during Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Serge Ibaka Could Be Active Against Hornets

Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka (back) is no longer listed on the injury report. The veteran big man hasn't seen any live action since May of last season. He underwent back surgery this offseason, but it appears Ibaka is close to returning. The Clippers will almost certainly limit Ibaka and ease him back into […]

Will Barton Has A Busy Game Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton did a little bit of everything in Saturday's 95-94 win over Houston, scoring 15 points on 7-for-19 shooting and registering seven rebounds and six assists with one steal, one block and one turnover in 37 minutes.

Ottawa Senators left wing Brady Tkachuk set the example straight away as the new team captain on Saturday, scoring in a 5-3 loss against Tampa.

Craig Kimbrel A Trade Candidate

The Chicago White Sox exercised their $16 million team option on relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel for next year, but he could be on the move with All-Star closer Liam Hendriks still in the fold as the team's ninth-inning guy. With this year's free-agent class of relievers lacking elite closing options, Kimbrel could be at a […]

Trevor Story To Receive Qualifying Offer

As expected, the Colorado Rockies will be extending a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer to shortstop Trevor Story. The Rockies will now be able to get some draft-pick compensation when Story inevitably leaves as a free agent. He'll be one of the five premium shortstops on the open market this winter despite having a subpar […]

Steven Matz Turns Down Extension Offer

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Steven Matz recently turned down a contract extension offer from the team. With the Blue Jays deciding not to extend a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer to Matz, he is headed towards free agency this winter. He was terrible in 30 2/3 innings for the New York Mets in 2020, […]

Robbie Ray Receives Qualifying Offer

The Toronto Blue Jays are extending a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer to left-hander Robbie Ray on Saturday. Ray, who is coming off a career season and has a chance to win his first Cy Young award, is surely to decline the offer and cash in on the open market. The 30-year-old southpaw went 13-7 […]

Jays Extend Qualifying Offer To Marcus Semien

The Toronto Blue Jays extended a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer to second baseman Marcus Semien on Saturday. The middle infielder will become a free agent if he rejects the offer. Semien had an excellent season in Toronto in 2021, slashing .265/.334/.538 with 45 home runs, 102 RBI and 15 stolen bases, so he's likely […]

Michael Conforto, Noah Syndergaard Receive Qualifying Offers

The New York Mets extended qualifying offers to both outfielder Michael Conforto and starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard on Saturday for one year and $18.4 million. Syndergaard has missed the majority of the last two seasons after having Tommy John surgery in 2020 and experiencing a setback due to elbow inflammation. But before his injury, he […]

Isaac Okoro Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Isaac Okoro (hamstring) will be sidelined for his seventh consecutive outing Sunday against the Knicks due to a strained left hamstring. Dean Wade has benefited from more minutes being available on the wing, but he has contributed more on the defensive end of the floor on most nights. Even when healthy, […]

Astros Make Offer To Carlos Correa

The Houston Astros reportedly offered free-agent shortstop Carlos Correa $160 million for five years, according to sources. That would be less than half of what Francisco Lindor got from the New York Mets when Lindor wasn't even a free agent. Unless something changes dramatically, Correa won't be making a return to Houston in 2022. Correa […]

Brook Lopez Continues Absence Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) has been preemptively ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Wizards due to persistent back soreness. The outing will be the ninth in a row that Lopez has been in street clothes, with Giannis Antetokounmpo stepping into the starting center role. Bobby Portis has also taken on an […]

Grayson Allen Earns Questionable Tag For Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Grayson Allen (illness) has been listed as questionable to play in Sunday's contest vs. Washington due to an illness. Milwaukee enters the matchup already short-handed on the wing, so an absence from Allen would be particularly troublesome. In the case that the sharpshooter is held out, look for Pat Connaughton and […]

Josh Richardson Returns To Action Saturday

Boston Celtics shooting guard Josh Richardson (foot) has been given the green light to get back into action Saturday against Dallas, where he played last season. Richardson missed Thursday's game due to a left foot contusion, but his return gives the Celtics another playmaker on the second unit. Romeo Langford and Dennis Schroder had considerable […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Return To Action Saturday

Dallas Mavericks power forward Kristaps Porzingis (back) has been cleared to get back on the floor Saturday against Boston. Porzingis has been hampered by a spell of back tightness to begin the year, which caused him to miss the team's five previous outings. Dallas will keep Porzingis' minutes in the 30 range, as it marks […]

Ilya Sorokin Continues To Start For The Islanders

New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin will once again be the starter between the pipes for Saturday's visit to Winnipeg.

Varlamov started the season with an […]

Furkan Korkmaz Cleared To Suit Up Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard/small forward Furkan Korkmaz (wrist) has been given the thumbs up to take the floor Saturday against Chicago. Korkmaz, who has started the last two games that he has appeared in, is returning after a one-game absence. With Danny Green (hamstring) sidelined, Korkmaz stands to have significant DFS appeal as Philadelphia's primary […]

Danny Green Will Miss Saturday’s Contest

Philadelphia 76ers small forward Danny Green (hamstring) will have his absence continued Saturday against the Bulls due to a sore left hamstring. After starting the first seven games of the year, Green will now miss his third consecutive contest, leaving a sharpshooting void on the wing. With Green unavailable, Furkan Korkmaz and Georges Niang stand […]

Mikko Rantanen, Andre Burakovsky Get Back Into Action

Colorado Avalanche wingers Mikko Rantanen and Andre Burakovsky will rejoin the lineup on Saturday against Columbus. Both players have been out with lower-body injuries. Rantanen has missed three games and Burakovsky was out of the lineup for Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss against the Blue Jackets. Rantanen will take up his usual spot on the top […]

Kyle Lowry, KZ Okpala Get Green Light To Play Saturday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) and power forward KZ Okpala (ankle) have both been cleared to suit up Saturday against the Jazz. Lowry is the more pertinent of the two, having served as the new starting PG for the Heat. While he has scored in single digits in five of his first seven […]

Devon Toews Makes Season Debut On Saturday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Devon Toews will be in the lineup for the first time this season in Saturday's road game against Columbus.

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and power forward Royce O'Neale (ankle) have both been given the green light to suit up for Saturday's contest against the Heat.
