Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Kevin Love has his status up in the air for Wednesday’s contest versus the Atlanta Hawks due to a sore right Achilles.

Giannis Antetokounmpo To Miss Second Straight Game Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks small/power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will stay sidelined for Wednesday’s game versus the Indiana Pacers due to personal reasons. Ersan Ilyasova entered the starting five in his place Monday and once again figures to see increased DFS attention due to his upside when Antetokounmpo is unavailable.

The Chicago Cubs are close to signing second baseman Jason Kipnis to a non-roster, minor league deal on Tuesday.

Marc Gasol Won't Play Versus Nets

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. It's not surprising to see the Raptors hold out Gasol for their last game before the All-Star break. That will give him plenty of time to rest up his left hamstring. Serge Ibaka (illness) and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will […]

Tyler Herro is Ruled Out Versus Jazz

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has missed each of the last four games due to right ankle soreness.

Kyrie Irving Will Sit Out Against Raptors

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Irving was not expected to play in this game, so this shouldn't come as a shock to fantasy owners. It's unclear when Irving will return to the court. Hopefully he'll get back on the court shortly after the […]

Derrick Rose Back At Practice Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (hip) was able to suit up for Tuesday's practice. He has been sidelined since February 3 due to a hip issue.

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk Practices on Tuesday

Detroit Pistons guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk (hip) was able to suit up for Tuesday's practice. He has missed each of the last five games due to a hip issue.

Brendan Rodgers Not Expected To Return Until May

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that infielder Brendan Rodgers (shoulder) is still recovering from labrum surgery in his right shoulder and isn't expected to be a factor at the big league level until around May.

Byron Buxton Could Play In Spring Games In Mid-March

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that outfielder Byron Buxton (shoulder) is swinging the bat and is ahead of schedule for what Baldelli expected. The team will play it cautious with the speedy outfielder, but he could get into spring training games by mid-March. The second overall pick in 2012 still has enticing speed and […]

Redskins In Process Of Mending Trent Williams Relationship
