Furkan Korkmaz Injured On Monday Night

Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) left Monday's game against Chicago. He did not return. The 23-year-old played just four minutes before reaggravating the right ankle sprain that plagued him during the season. His status for Wednesday's affair against Houston is unknown. However, it wouldn't be shocking if he missed a game or two moving […]

Tyler Herro Out Versus Mavs

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) won't play on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks. The 21-year-old will now miss his sixth straight contest while trying to work his way back from soreness in his right foot. Without him in the lineup, Duncan Robinson and Max Strus should split time, although neither are reliable fantasy options.

Bobby Portis Probable Against Brooklyn

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (illness) will likely play on Tuesday against the visiting Nets. The veteran has been battling a stomach bug and didn't play on Sunday as a result. The 26-year-old is averaging 11.4 points and 7.1 boards during the 2021 campaign. He has had flashes of efficiency this year, but his best […]

Serge Ibaka Remains Out On Tuesday Evening

Los Angeles Clippers forward Serge Ibaka (back) is out against the Raptors on Tuesday night. This isn't surprising, although it is unfortunate for a team fighting to keep its place toward the top of the Western Conference. Ibaka hasn't played in nearly two months, so fantasy managers should continue to expect Marcus Morris Sr. to […]

Patrick Beverley Not Ready To Return Just Yet

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (hand) is out for Tuesday's matchup against the Raptors. The defensive specialist is working his way back from surgery to repair the fourth Metacarpal bone in his left hand.

Martin Jones Gets The Nod On Monday

San Jose Sharks goaltender Martin Jones will be the team's starter for Monday's home game against Colorado.

Ryan Graves Makes His Return Against San Jose

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Ryan Graves (upper body) will get back into the lineup on Monday against San Jose, after missing Saturday's 4-3 win in the matchup. The 25-year-old is a beast on the defensive end, having recorded 81 blocks and 65 hits through 47 games, and he's also chipped in offensively at times, picking up […]

Brandon Sutter Misses Out On Monday Night

Vancouver Canucks forward Brandon Sutter (upper body) won't be in the lineup on Monday against Edmonton. He should be considered day-to-day for now. The 32-year-old has notched nine goals and 12 points this season in 43 outings with 65 shots and a minus-nine rating. The Canucks have a hectic end-of-the-year schedule due to their COVID-19 […]

Tony Gonsolin Could Enter Rotation Upon Return From IL

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin could replace Dustin May in the starting rotation upon his activation from the injured list, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network. Gonsolin has not appeared yet this year due to shoulder inflammation that landed him on the injured list on April 4. Morosi reports that the team is […]

OG Anunoby Likely Out Against Clippers

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (calf) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. Anunoby wasn't available against the Lakers on Sunday evening due to a calf strain, and with the team looking toward next season, it wouldn't be surprising if Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, or Pascal Siakam join him […]

Isaac Mattson Recalled By Orioles Monday

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Isaac Mattson was added to the active roster on Monday, according to Joe Trezza of MLB.com.

Chimezie Metu Questionable Against OKC

Sacramento Kings forward Chimezie Metu (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Oklahoma City. The 24-year-old didn't suit up on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks due to lower back tightness. With Harrison Barnes (hip) doubtful, Marvin Bagley III could see plenty of action once again.

Harrison Barnes Doubtful Against OKC

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (hip) is doubtful for Tuesday's clash against OKC. The veteran has missed his previous three games while dealing with tightness in his left Adductor.

Darius Garland Will Sit Against Suns

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) will not play on Tuesday night against the Phoenix Suns. Garland injured his ankle on Friday during the loss to the Washington Wizards.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Bruce Zimmermann was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, according to Joe Trezza of MLB.com.
