Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (calf) will play on Sunday against the Indiana Pacers. Embiid began dealing with tightness in the area and didn't suit up for two of the team's final three scrimmage games.

Luis Castillo Struggles Against Detroit

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Luis Castillo struggled in a 7-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Friday. Castillo allowed five runs over six innings while striking out six and walking one.

Kyle Kuzma Likely To Go Against Toronto

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) should be good to go against the Raptors on Saturday.

As […]

Anthony Davis Probable Against The Defending Champs

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (eye) is probable for Saturday's game against the Raptors.

He had the same designation prior to Thursday's restart opener against the Clippers and still managed to produce […]

Will Barton Out On Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (knee) will not play on Saturday against the Heat.

In his stead, anticipate […]

Jamal Murray Questionable Against Miami

It is unknown exactly when or how the 23-year-old sustained the injury, but it appears to be serious enough to land him on the team's latest injury report. If Murray isn't able to suit up, Monte Morris should be the primary […]
