Lonzo Ball May Be Shut Down

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) continues to experience complications resulting from a meniscus tear suffered in January 2022.

Bradley Beal Puts Up Season-High Against Minnesota

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal was determined to sink the Minnesota Timberwolves en route to a new season-high and a 114-106 win. He registered 35 points, six rebounds, five assists, and three steals while shooting 14-for-28 from the floor, 4-for-8 from beyond the arc, and 3-for-3 from the line.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) is set to miss significant time after the All-Star break. The 23-year-old has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 ankle sprain, which carries a four-to-six week timetable. Justise Winslow suffered the same injury on December 21st and hasn't been on the court since then. The team is shutting […]

Alex Caruso Listed As Out For Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (foot) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 28-year-old did play during Wednesday's game, so possibly the team is giving him the night off because it's the second leg of a back-to-back set. The Bulls will also be without Goran Dragic (knee) for Thursday's game. […]

Collin Sexton Picks Up A Hamstring Injury

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton managed to log only four minutes in Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota, exiting the game with a left hamstring problem.

With […]

Clippers Receive Permission To Talk To Russell Westbrook

Utah Jazz guard Russell Westbrook has yet to suit up since the deal that sent him from the Los Angeles Lakers to Utah.

T.J. McConnell Enters Starting Lineup Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell will move into the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Chicago Bulls. Andrew Nembhard is moving to the bench for McConnell despite not being injured. Nembhard has been underwhelming as a starter and the coaching staff must have decided a change was needed. McConnell offers solid fantasy upside due to his […]

Ricky Rubio Sitting Out Against Sixers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio (illness) will be sidelined for Wednesday's contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Rubio is feeling under the weather and will not be able to go after being listed as questionable from a non-COVID illness. Caris LeVert should see ample minutes off the bench on Wednesday with Rubio ruled out.

Kyrie Irving A Late Addition To Injury Report

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (back) is now questionable to play Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Irving popped up on the injury report late Wednesday after experiencing some tightness in his lower back. Late additions to the injury report are never a good sign and if Irving is ultimately ruled out, Luka Doncic should see […]

Goran Dragic Downgraded To Out Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Goran Dragic (knee) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Dragic is dealing with some knee soreness and the Bulls are taking the cautious approach by ruling him out ahead of the All-Star break. Dragic did not have a major role off the bench and will likely see his minutes […]

Alex Caruso Returning Against Pacers

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (foot) is available to play Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Caruso is making his return from a one-game absence as he deals with some lingering foot soreness and should resume his normal role off the bench. The Bulls will be missing DeMar DeRozan (quad) and Goran Dragic (knee) on Wednesday […]

Terry Rozier Doubtful Against Spurs

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (hand) is doubtful to play Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Rozier is dealing with a sprain in his shooting hand and is looking like he will sit with the Hornets on the cusp of the All-Star break. Dennis Smith Jr. will reportedly start if Rozier is officially ruled out.

Derrick White Cleared To Play Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (ear) will play Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. White lost hearing in his left ear Tuesday and was diagnosed with a hole in his left ear drum. Despite this, White has been cleared to play as he can not damage his ear any further. White has been on a tear […]

Goran Dragic Downgraded To Questionable Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Goran Dragic (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Indiana.

Marcus Smart Removed From Injury Report On Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart is set to return from his ankle injury on Wednesday that kept him out for the last 11 games. He's not even listed on the injury report at all so that sounds like he shouldn't have any restrictions headed into this game. With Derrick White (ear) having some ear pain […]

Derrick White Not Likely To Suit Up On Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (ear) was held back in Milwaukee after the team's loss on Tuesday to the Bucks. After leading the team to a bigger fight than the Bucks expected, he went to an ear specialist after having trouble hearing out of his left ear. The rest of the team flew back to […]

Ricky Rubio Officially Questionable Against 76ers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio (illness) did not participate in shootaround on Wednesday and is still dealing with a non-COVID illness, which has landed him on the injury report as questionable. The 32-year-old seems to get a game off every few games while being eased back on to the court, so it wouldn't be surprising […]

CJ McCollum Listed As Questionable To Play Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. McCollum sat out Monday's game with a right ankle sprain and may sit again as they enter the break. Jose Alvarado got the spot start while newcomer Josh Richardson was stellar off the bench. If McCollum […]

Jamal Murray Uncertain Against Mavericks

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Murray has sat the past five games with knee inflammation and the Nuggets have little incentive to play him Wednesday with the All-Star break one game away. With Murray likely out again, Bruce Brown should continue to start with Christian […]

Tyler Herro Will Sit Until All-Star Break

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (knee) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets and will have a chance to recover during the All-Star break. Herro did not travel with the team as he stays to get treatment and will miss his second straight game. The good news is the Heat do […]

Tre Jones Listed As Out Again Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (foot) will miss Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets as he continues to deal with foot soreness.
