Garrett Temple Joins Starting Five

Chicago Bulls forward Garrett Temple will slide into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Temple doesn't have much streaming appeal […]

Otto Porter Out Versus Clippers

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was only able to play six minutes on Friday before exiting with back spasms.

Jaylen Brown Sidelined Versus Heat

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (rest) will not suit up for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Brown along with plenty of other Celtic players will be sidelined due to health and safety protocols.

Derrick Rose Ruled Out For Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. The veteran guard will join rookie Killian Hayes (hip) on the sideline for this one.

Joc Pederson's Extreme Splits Complicate Free-Agent Case

Phillies More Unlikely To Re-Sign J.T. Realmuto?

With every addition that the Mets and Braves make to their already strong rosters in the National League East, the thought of the Philadelphia Phillies making the postseason in the short term becomes less realistic, which in turn could make re-signing catcher J.T. Realmuto less likely. Realmuto will turn 30 years old in March and […]

Seth Lugo Likely To Work Out Of The Bullpen In 2021

George Springer Asking For $175 Million?

Free-agent outfielder George Springer is believed to be seeking around $175 million on the free-agent market.

Mitchell Trubisky Needs Long Playoff Run

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky isn't guaranteed to return as the team's starting quarterback in 2021, but that could change if he's able to pull a big upset over the Saints in the wild-card round on Sunday. The Bears declined Trubisky's fifth-year option and traded for Nick Foles before the 2020 season. He won the […]

Terry Fontenot A Finalist For Atlanta's GM Opening

New Orleans Saints vice president/assistant general manager of pro personnel Terry Fontenot is one of "two or three finalists" for the Atlanta Falcons general manager job, according to league sources.
