Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Christian Wood Ruled Out For Friday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He sprained his ankle on Wednesday and it sounds like the injury has got worse overnight.

Michael Carter-Williams Could Play Friday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He hasn't played since early January due to a nagging foot issue.

Le'Veon Bell Added To Injury Report

Kansas City Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) was added to the injury report and did not practice on Thursday. Linebacker Willie Gay (ankle) also missed his second straight practice this week.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (concussion) is practicing again on Thursday with a helmet. Rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle, hip), wide receiver Sammy Watkins (calf) and cornerbacks Bashaud Breeland (concussion, shoulder) and Rashad Fenton (foot) are also practicing.
