Jae Crowder Clears Concussion Protocol

Miami Heat forward Jae Crowder (head) has cleared concussion protocol and should be ready for Wednesday's game versus the Charlotte Hornets. He said on Monday that he should be able to play on Wednesday and it sounds like Crowder was right about that. Jimmy Butler (toe) is still banged up, so Crowder could potentially see […]

LaMarcus Aldridge is Upgraded to Probable

San Antonio Spurs center LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Aldridge was listed as doubtful on Monday's injury report, but it appears he's feeling better now.

Lonnie Walker IV Ruled Out For Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV (shin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was listed as questionable, but it isn't shocking that he'll sit out after head coach Gregg Popovich hinted Walker would miss more time. Derrick White, Patty Mills, and Bryn Forbes should all be looking at […]

Deandre Ayton Participates in Shootaround

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is hopeful to play in Tuesday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers after going through shootaround without any issues. He has missed each of the last two games due to a left ankle sprain. Aron Baynes has been a stud since Ayton went down, so he'll be a favorable […]

Stephen Curry Participates in Shootaround

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (illness) was able to suit up and participate in Tuesday's shootaround. He sat out of Saturday's game and remains questionable for Tuesday's contest versus the Los Angeles Clippers.

Brandon Knight Should Be Fine for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight (hamstring) should be good to go for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, according to head coach Dwane Casey. He sat out of Saturday's game due to a right hamstring strain, but it appears to be a one game absence. Knight has been playing very well lately, so he should […]

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Williams will sit this one out due to right calf soreness.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) will reportedly begin running on the field in the next couple of days. Stanton has yet to see game action this spring but started running on an anti-gravity treadmill last week and seems to be progressing relatively well.

Bryce Harper Fine After Leaving Game

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper said he is fine after being hit by a pitch in the foot and leaving Tuesday's game.

Yordan Alvarez A Question Mark For Opening Day

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez (knee) will not play on Wednesday as previously reported, per manager Dusty Baker.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (back) took 20 swings in the batting cages on Monday and also did some agility work on the field.

Ronald Guzman, Greg Bird Still Battling At First Base

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman and Greg Bird were essentially put on notice by their manager Chris Woodward on Tuesday.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) will be reassessed at the 10- to 14-day mark of his shutdown period, according to manager Ron Roenicke.

Joe Jimenez Officially Named Tigers Closer

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Joe Jimenez was officially named the team's primary closer by manager Ron Gardenhire on Tuesday. This is not surprising news. Jimenez took over as the closer last season after Shane Greene was traded to the Atlanta Braves. He performed well, picking up nine saves and a career-high 82 strikeouts. We would not […]

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (foot) left Tuesday's spring training game after being hit by a pitch.

Marshal Yanda Hangs Up His Cleats

Baltimore Ravens offensive guard Marshal Yanda will announce his retirement on Wednesday.

LaMarcus Aldridge is Doubtful for Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs center LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He has been sidelined for a few weeks due to a right shoulder strain. The Spurs don't have much of a chance to make the playoffs, so they can afford to be cautious with Aldridge. Trey Lyles […]

Giants Interested In Byron Jones, James Bradberry

The New York Giants have expressed a level of interest in Dallas Cowboys cornerback Byron Jones and Carolina Panthers cornerback James Bradberry, who will both be free agents next week, according to NFL sources. However, the Giants will have to pay a pretty penny for either player, as both players could reset the cornerback market. […]

Deandre Ayton Could Sit Out on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Ayton has missed each of the last two games due to a left ankle sprain. Aron Baynes has been playing fantastic in the starting five and deserves a look in DFS contests if Ayton is out again. […]

Bills Re-Sign Robert Foster, Levi Wallace

The Buffalo Bills re-signed wide receiver Robert Foster and cornerback Levi Wallace on Tuesday. Both players were set to become exclusive-rights free agents next week. Foster played in just three games last year and had three receptions for 64 yards and no touchdowns. He's buried on the depth chart behind John Brown, Cole Beasley, Duke […]

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (eye) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Draymond Green is Ruled Out Against Clippers

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Warriors continue to be cautious with Green, so it's unclear when he's going to take the court again. They have no incentive to win, so the Warriors are likely going to wait until Green is […]

Panthers Re-Sign Kyle Allen

The Carolina Panthers re-signed quarterback Kyle Allen to a one-year deal on Tuesday. Allen was set to be an exclusive-rights free agent. The Panthers now have Cam Newton, Will Grier and Allen under contract for 2020. Allen made 12 starts last year after Newton aggravated his foot injury in Week 2, and he became the […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Remains Out on Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. (head) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This marks the third game in a row that Porter has missed due to a concussion. He'll need to pass the league's concussion protocol testing before being cleared to return to action. Collin Sexton, and Matthew Dellavedova […]

Cameron Johnson Will Miss At Least Two Weeks

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (mononucleosis) is going to miss at least the next two weeks of action, but possibly longer. He'll be re-evaluated on March 23, but there's no guarantee he'll be ready to play after that date. This hurts the Suns who are already without Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee), so they don't have […]

The deal is worth $17.65 million and includes $9 million fully guaranteed with $10.45 million over the next two years.
