LaMelo Ball Out Against Washington

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is out for Sunday's game versus Washington. Ball missed his first 13 contests with a sprained left ankle.

Ja Morant Week-To-Week With A Grade 1 Ankle Sprain

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (ankle) is listed as week-to-week after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 left ankle sprain. The Memphis star was hurt in Friday's win over Oklahoma City, and his absence is set to leave the team in some trouble now, with Desmond Bane (toe) also having recently been ruled out […]

Kyle Lowry Bags A Triple-Double Friday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry ran the show in Friday's 107-106 overtime loss to Washington, posting a triple-double with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic became the 10th player in NBA history with at least 50 triple-doubles, racking up 33 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in Friday's blowout victory over Denver. He reached the milestone in his 278th career game and only Oscar Robertson has needed fewer games (111) to record 50 triple-doubles. […]

Tyrese Haliburton Hurts Right Ankle In Friday's Win

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton hurt his right ankle in Friday's 99-91 win on Houston. This was a very unfortunate injury, as the game was basically already done when Haliburton decided to attack the rim with 40 seconds left in the game, and Usman Garuba, who attempted to block Haliburton's shot, landed on his […]

Cameron Payne Cools Off Against Utah

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne finished with 17 points, five assists, and three steals in Friday's loss to Utah. After scoring 29 points against the Warriors on Wednesday, the 29-year-old cooled off. In all fairness, Devin Booker's 49-point performance held back all of his teammates on the scoring end. Nonetheless, Payne has averaged 20.8 points […]

Gary Trent Jr. Remains Sidelined Against Atlanta

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (hip) won't suit up on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks, marking his third-straight absence. Dalano Banton (ankle) would have likely replaced him in the lineup. However, with Banton also out with a sprained ankle, Malachi Flynn may get the start. While Flynn should be more productive on the fantasy […]

Tyrese Maxey Injures Foot Against Milwaukee

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (foot) exited in the first half of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks with a left foot injury. He did not return. The 22-year-old was scorching before his night ended, amassing 24 points, five assists, and a block in only 21 minutes of work. The team announced he would have […]

Ja Morant Tweaks Ankle On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant had a double-double in Friday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 19 points and 11 assists while adding seven rebounds.

Chris Paul Misses A Fifth Consecutive Game

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul (heel) will remain out for Friday's matchup against Utah. The veteran floor general is carrying a sore right heel and is sidelined for a fifth consecutive game. Paul's absence has opened the door to the starting lineup for Cameron Payne, who has grabbed his opportunity with both hands. The […]

Gabe Vincent Now Available Versus Washington

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is available versus Washington. Vincent's knee swelled up during Friday's shootaround, prompting head coach Eric Spoelstra to rule him out. However, his condition improved somewhat, so he'll be in uniform. With Miami down Bam Adebayo (knee), Jimmy Butler (knee), and Tyler Herro (ankle), among others, Vincent would have seen […]

Malcolm Brogdon Cleared To Return For Friday’s Game

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) has been given the green light to get back into action for Friday's contest against the Pelicans. His return comes at a vital time, with Marcus Smart (ankle) ruled out. Brogdon had missed the previous four contests due to a tight right hamstring but he can be expected […]

Marcus Smart Ruled Out For Friday’s Game

Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart (ankle) will be sidelined for Friday's contest vs. New Orleans due to right ankle inflammation. Smart's absence marks his second in a row, paving the way for Derrick White to continue seeing sizable minutes, even as Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is slated to return to action. While Smart has scuffled […]

De'Aaron Fox Puts Up 28 Points Against Spurs

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox enjoyed a super efficient night against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday en route to the team's eighth win of the season.

Damian Lillard Collects Double-Double In Loss

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard collected this third consecutive double-double on Thursday night's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. He posted 25 points, 11 assists, three rebounds, and one steal on 8-for-24 shooting from the floor and 3-for-12 from deep. While his scoring and efficiency leave some to be desired, Lillard's playmaking has been on […]

Ben Simmons Logs His Best Game Of The Season

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons has been the talk of the league with how much he has underperformed thus far. On Thursday night, he logged 15 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, and one block while not missing a single one of his six shots. His six turnovers weren't great, but the response to all of […]

Jordan Goodwin Undergoes Testing On Knee

The timetable for Washington Wizards guard Jordan Goodwin's (knee) return is still in the balance. Goodwin suffered a knee injury during the Wednesday night loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, the actual damage to his knee has yet to be reported. Head coach Wes Unseld Jr. relayed to the media that the team doesn't […]

Jamal Murray To Enter Health And Safety Protocols

The Denver Nuggets continue to have problems with COVID-19. Jamal Murray entered the health and safety protocols on Thursday. The Nuggets point guard will miss Friday's contest versus the Dallas Mavericks. Not only is Murray out, but two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic also is out due to COVID. Although it doesn't bode well in the […]

Cory Joseph Questionable Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Cory Joseph (hip) is questionable for Thursday's road game against the Clippers. He is carrying a sore left hip and already sat out Monday's loss to Toronto. The Pistons could really use Joseph right now, with Cade Cunningham (shin) having dropped out of the lineup and slated to miss at least three […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Stuffs Stat Sheet Against Mavericks

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. posted a very strong stat line in the team's win against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. He ended the game with 17 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and three blocks while shooting 6-for-14 from the floor and 2-for-3 from deep. Porter's numbers are up across the board […]

Jamal Murray Scores 21 Points In Loss

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray struggled from the floor on Wednesday night in a 103-106 loss to the New York Knicks. Despite shooting 35% overall, he posted 21 points, nine rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block with 42.9% shooting from three. Since Nikola Jokic missed this game, the Nuggets needed Murray and Michael […]

Cameron Payne Knocks Down Six Triples

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne received another spot start as Chris Paul was forced to miss another game. He delivered a big performance against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. The backup point guard logged 29 points, three rebounds, seven assists, and one block while shooting 9-for-17 from the floor and knocking down six […]

Stephen Curry Pours In 50 Points On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry continued his hot start to the season as he became the third player this season to score 50 points. The superstar sharpshooter registered 50 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and one block on 17-for-28 from the floor and 7-for-11 from deep. Right now, through 13 games, he's averaging more […]

Cade Cunningham Remains Sidelined On Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) will officially miss his fourth consecutive game due to this shin issue. His amount of missed time is also most likely due to the Pistons being extra cautious on top of it all. During a season where they're not going to compete for a championship, they're not going to […]

Kyrie Irving Could Be Back On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (suspension) has a chance of returning on Sunday versus the visiting Grizzlies, according to ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski. The multi-time All-Star won't play on Thursday against Portland, his eighth consecutive absence, for failing to apologize for posting a link to an antisemitic film. Outside of Irving's hideous 28.0% […]

LaMelo Ball Re-Injures Ankle On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) finished with 26 points during Wednesday's loss to the Pacers. Ball had a fantastic night, going 5-for-8 from deep while adding six assists and two steals. Unfortunately, he re-injured the same ankle that cost him the first 13 games of the 2022-23 campaign. The Hornets don't play again until […]

Ish Smith Remains Out On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Ish Smith (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. This shouldn't come as a surprise considering Smith hasn't played in two weeks. His absence won't make too big of an impact on the rotation. However, the Nuggets are going to be shorthanded for this game with […]

Jrue Holiday Will Remain Out On Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) won't be making his return just yet. Previously listed as questionable, head coach Mike Budenholzer confirmed that he won't be playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Jevon Carter will continue to get some added playing time in his place. He's already rostered in 41% of leagues though, so […]

Malcolm Brogdon Remains Sidelined Against Atlanta

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) remains out on Wednesday against Atlanta. While Brogdon is reportedly moving in the right direction, he will now miss his fourth-consecutive contest. Marcus Smart (ankle) is also out, so Derrick White is expected to enter the starting lineup. At the same time, Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard could see […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Downgraded To Out Against Pacers

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) will not suit up on Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. He was already declared doubtful for the game to begin with, but it's now official that he won't play. Since LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier are both back, Smith was going to take a hit to his […]
