Grayson Allen Has Been Progressing

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen (hip) has been progressing, and the team will know more once he can play 5-on-5, according to head coach Taylor Jenkins. Allen was expected to miss the rest of the season, but the hiatus has given him extra time to rest. However, Justise Winslow (back) should be returning to the […]

Justise Winslow Should Be Ready To Play

Memphis Grizzlies guard Justise Winslow (back) is expected to be ready to play during the Orlando restart. Winslow has been symptom-free since April and is "looking good, feeling good," according to head coach Taylor Jenkins. He has only played in 11 games this season due to injuries, but Winslow can make an impact when healthy. […]

Brandon Clarke, Jaren Jackson Jr. Ready For Orlando

Memphis Grizzlies power forwards Brandon Clarke (quad) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) are looking good and are expected to be ready for the Orlando restart, according to head coach Taylor Jenkins.

Carmelo Anthony, Gary Trent Jr. Could See Bigger Roles

Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony and guard Gary Trent Jr. could see increased playing time during the upcoming NBA restart. Trevor Ariza has decided to opt out, which means more playing time for someone else. Head coach Terry Stotts mentioned that Anthony and Trent are options to replace Ariza at small forward. Both players […]

Rodney Hood Able To Dunk During Workout

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) has been making solid improvements during the hiatus. He was able to dunk during a recent workout.

Caleb Swanigan Opts Out Of NBA Restart

Portland Trail Blazers forward Caleb Swanigan has decided to opt out of the upcoming NBA restart in Orlando. The 23-year-old forward has not been a big part of the rotation, so the Blazers should be fine. He played in 20 games for the team, averaging around 13 minutes per contest. The Blazers are getting back […]

Thabo Sefolosha Opting Out Of Orlando Restart

Houston Rockets forward Thabo Sefolosha has decided to opt out of the upcoming restart in Orlando, Florida. It's unclear why he is deciding to sit out, but he was barely part of the rotation anyway. At times, Sefolosha would see around 10 minutes, but his absence should not make a huge impact. P.J. Tucker, Danuel […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles, who was arrested after he was found sleeping behind the Key West International Airport in Florida last week, has been in at least 20 mental health facilities since 2019.

Colin Moran Expected To Play A Lot At Hot Corner

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton said that he expects third baseman Colin Moran to see most of the playing time at third base this year. "I don’t think it’s an open competition. I think you’re going to see Colin [Moran] there a lot," Shelton said. Other candidates to see time at the hot corner this […]

NFL Shortening Preseason To Two Weeks

The National Football League is shortening the 2020 preseason to two games as part of a larger acclimatization plan for players following an unprecedented virtual offseason program amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to a source.

Jordan Hicks To Begin Year On Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said that relief pitcher Jordan Hicks (elbow) will start the regular season on the Injured List while recovering from Tommy John surgery last June. However, the Cardinals expect Hicks to contribute in a late-inning role soon, so it may not be long before he's an option for the ninth […]

Miles Mikolas Is Healthy

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (elbow) is healthy entering the start of this week's summer camp after suffering a flexor tendon strain earlier this year. Mikolas would've missed at least the first month of the regular season had COVID-19 not interfered, but now it sounds as though he'll be part of the team's […]

Miguel Andújar Might Play In The Outfield

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andújar has a chance at claiming a role in the outfield this season, and manager Aaron Boone believes that the 25-year-old is capable of handling the defensive responsibilities required in that scenario. Despite posting a .855 OPS in his rookie season, Andújar will have trouble finding consistent playing time […]

Target Regression Candidates - Wide Receiver

I don't know how many times I've written this during the past few weeks, but here we go again: no matter how good a pass-catcher is, if he's not targeted often he will have no way to rack up fantasy points. With opportunities come chances to score points. Without them, catches are literally out of […]

Sophomore Slump: Breakout Rookies Who Could Bust in 2020

This past NFL season, we saw a number of breakout rookies like Terry McLaurin, Josh Jacobs, and Kyler Murray.

Second-year players can have a wide […]

Masahiro Tanaka Back In New York

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka is back in the United States after spending his break from baseball in Japan.
