Kevin Love Will Suit Up For Sunday’s Game

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Kevin Love (knee) has been given the green light to get back into action Sunday against Dallas.

Juan Hernangomez Will Miss Sunday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves small/power forward Juan Hernangomez (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest versus Orlando due to swelling in his knee.

Devonte’ Graham Will Miss Fourth Straight Game Sunday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Devonte' Graham (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Pelicans as he continues to deal with right knee discomfort.

Nate Pearson Wild In Season Debut

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Nate Pearson made his first start of the 2021 season versus the Astros on Sunday, but the results were far from spectacular.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Faces Minutes Cap In Return Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker has been given the green light to suit up for Sunday's game against Charlotte. Alexander-Walker last took the floor April 4, meaning that he'll be acclimated to the mix with a minutes restriction.

Theo Maledon, Aleksej Pokusevski Questionable For Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Theo Maledon (foot) and small forward Aleksej Pokusevski (knee) have been deemed questionable to play in Sunday's game versus Sacramento.
