Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon and shooting guard/small forward Jeremy Lamb have tested out of the league's health and safety protocols but will stay sidelined for at least Tuesday's contest.

Dejounte Murray Clears Protocols, Set To Return Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray has been removed from the league's health and safety protocols, paving the way for a return to action Wednesday against Boston.

Darius Garland Receives Green Light To Play Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland will take the floor for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, marking a return from a four-game absence due to the league's health and safety protocols.

Cole Anthony Not Available On Monday

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This marks the fifth game in a row that Anthony has missed due to a right ankle sprain.

Damian Lillard Ruled Out Against Hawks

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (abdominal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Anfernee Simons (conditioning) has been […]

Rajon Rondo Has Cleared COVID-19 Protocols

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo has cleared the league's health and safety protocols, according to head coach Frank Vogel.
