Charlie Blackmon Absent From Thursday's Lineup
Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Collin Sexton Available Thursday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (groin) is available to play in Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Aleksej Pokusevski Out Friday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) and forward Aleksej Pokusevski (arm) are both out for Friday's game against the Pistons. Gilgeous-Alexander remains out with plantar fasciitis- and it wouldn't be entirely surprising to see the team shut him down for the remainder of the season with little left to play for. Pokusevski's absence should […]

Lonzo Ball Listed As Probable For Friday's Game
New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Wizards.
