Fred VanVleet Riding Questionable Tag Against Indiana

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (illness) is uncertain for Saturday's showdown with the Pacers. He's under the weather with a non-COVID-related sickness.

Cade Cunningham Not Playing Against Shorthanded Celtics

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (shin) won't suit up for Saturday's game against Boston.

LaMelo Ball Won't Make Season Debut On Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) won't suit up against the Heat. Ball hasn't played yet this year after spraining his left ankle in the preseason.

Yuta Watanabe Won't Play Against The Clippers

Dennis Smith Jr. Questionable For Saturday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against Miami. He rolled his left ankle in a meeting with the Heat on Thursday and wasn't able to complete the game. Smith Jr. also sprained the same ankle earlier in the month in a game against Brooklyn, so he's had […]

Donte DiVincenzo Active With A Minutes Limit

Golden State Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo (hamstring) will return to the lineup Friday against Cleveland, but he will be carrying a 20-minute restriction. The team will try to take it easy with the 25-year-old sniper, who has missed eight games with a left hamstring strain. DiVincenzo has actually averaged just 14 minutes for the season, […]

Chris Paul Remains Out Versus Orlando

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) will remain sidelined against Orlando. The veteran injured his heel on Monday night and continues to deal with soreness.

Ben Simmons Will Continue Coming Off Of The Bench

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons played limited minutes off of the bench when he returned a couple of games ago from knee soreness. Head coach Jacque Vaughn confirmed that the 26-year-old will in fact still be playing in a backup type of role. This is most likely due to the spacing issues when He and […]
