Grayson Allen Starting Against Los Angeles

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen will start on Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Michael Carter-Williams To Start Against Kings

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams will start on Friday night against the Kings.

However, he will be making his first appearance after missing his previous 19 games […]

Cole Anthony Out On Friday

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (shoulder) will not play on Friday night against the Kings. This will mark the rookie's second-straight absence as he continues to work his way back from a right shoulder sprain.

Payton Pritchard Draws Starting PG Duties Friday

Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard will enter the starting five in place of Kemba Walker (rest) for Friday's contest against the Pistons. The start will mark the first of Pritchard's career, as he had previously already seen increased minutes off the bench when Walker missed the opening of the year. Pritchard enters Friday's game […]

Frank Mason III Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Orlando Magic point guard Frank Mason III (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus Sacramento due to a strained left groin.

Tyler Herro Clears Protocols, Will Suit Up Saturday

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro was involved in a uniquely 2020-21 scenario Thursday, where he was scratched from the outing against Houston just minutes ahead of tip-off. Having gone through the league's health and safety protocols, Herro has been deemed active to return for Saturday's game against the Jazz. Herro has taken on the […]

John Wall Probable Against The Knicks

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (ankle) will likely play on Saturday against the New York Knicks.

Derrick White Will Reclaim Starting Gig Friday

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Derrick White returns to the lineup Friday against Atlanta and will get his spot in the starting five back.

Eric Gordon Returns To Starting Lineup Saturday

Houston Rockets point/shooting guard Eric Gordon has already been announced as a starter for Saturday's game versus the Knicks with Victor Oladipo (foot) unavailable. Irrespective of his role, Gordon has been firing at will from long range as of late, hoisting double-digit three-point attempts in each of his last two games. Since a two-game absence […]

Devonte' Graham Cleared To Suit Up For Friday’s Game

Charlotte Hornets point/shooting guard Devonte' Graham (groin) has been given the green light to return to action for Friday's contest against the Timberwolves.

D'Angelo Russell Remains Out For Sunday's Contest

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (leg) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Ricky Rubio and Jaylen Nowell will be […]

Kemba Walker Resting Versus Pistons

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The organization continues to rest the veteran guard during back-to-back sets.

Evan Fournier, Cole Anthony Questionable On Friday

Orlando Magic guards Evan Fournier (back) and Cole Anthony (shoulder) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This isn't shocking news since both players were banged up heading into the first game of this back-to-back set. Orlando is already without Frank Mason III (groin), so they could really be shorthanded for […]

Michael Carter-Williams Removed From Injury Report

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is great timing with both Cole Anthony (shoulder) and Evan Fournier (back) questionable for this contest.

Mike Conley Ruled Out For Friday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran guard will miss his third game in a row with a hamstring issue.

Miami Scratches Tyler Herro Late Thursday

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Rockets due to the league's health and safety protocols.

Cole Anthony, Evan Fournier Headline Magic Absences Thursday

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (shoulder) and shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier (back) are among a group of Magic players unavailable to suit up Thursday versus Golden State. Guard/forward Michael Carter-Williams (foot) and forward Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) are also out, leaving the team's backcourt and wing tremendously short-handed. Frank Mason III figures to see […]
