Zion Williamson Likely To Be Limited Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (conditioning) is expected to be under a minutes limit for Monday's game, according to Pelicans VP David Griffin. Williamson missed 13 days of the bubble and left for a short period of time due to a family emergency. He has only played 15 and 14 minutes during the first […]

Jamal Crawford Listed As Out For Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard Jamal Crawford (conditioning) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was listed as questionable, but it doesn't sound like Crawford is in game shape yet. Crawford joined the Nets late and wasn't able to play in the scrimmages or their first seeding game. It's unclear when […]

Leury Garcia Out Due To Personal Condition

Chicago White Sox utility Leury Garcia (personal) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Royals. Garcia is dealing with a death in the family and won't be at the ballpark. Outfielder Nick Delmonico will be in the lineup for the first time since Tuesday. Garcia was off to a good start in 2020, with nine […]

Juuse Saros Gets First Crack in Net for Predators

Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros led his team out on the ice for warmups, signaling him as the starter for the first game of the series.

Gary Harris Listed As Very Questionable For Monday

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hip) is currently listed as very questionable for Monday's game, according to head coach Mike Malone. He arrived to Orlando late due to a right hip muscle strain. It doesn't sound like he is ready to play yet, but fantasy owners will have to wait and see. Both Torrey Craig […]

Will Barton Expected To Sit Out Monday

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Monday's game versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is currently considered very questionable for next game, according to head coach Mike Malone. Barton was able to play 18 minutes during the final scrimmage game, but didn't look comfortable. Torrey Craig and Michael Porter […]

Yoenis Cespedes Not At Ballpark Sunday

New York Mets outfielder/designated hitter Yoenis Cespedes was not at the ballpark Sunday as of gametime. The slugger didn't reach out to the Mets with any explanation for his absence and the team's attempts to contact him have been unsuccessful. This comes after a bit of a wild offseason for Cespedes, involving an ankle injury […]

Jamal Murray Unlikely To Play Monday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) is considered very questionable for Monday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Head coach Mike Malone said he was hopeful that Murray, Gary Harris (hip), and Will Barton (knee) would be available for Monday. Monte Morris was asked to carry the load last game without Murray. P.J. Dozier saw […]

Scott Oberg Likely Done For Year, Wade Davis To Injured List

Colorado Rockies relievers Scott Oberg (blood clots) and Wade Davis (shoulder) both hit the injured list on Sunday. Oberg's injury is more serious- he has blood clots in his right arm- and will almost certainly cause him to miss the rest of the shortened season. It's not the first time he's dealt with blood clots, […]

Mike Scott Not Expected To Practice Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (knee) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's practice. He was held out of Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers due to right knee soreness.

Kris Bryant Out With Illness

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (illness) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Pirates.

Joonas Korpisalo to Start for Columbus in Game 1

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo will be in the crease to start the series against Toronto on Sunday.
