The Brooklyn Nets announced guard/center Ben Simmons (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks.

His next chance to suit up […]

Malcolm Brogdon Misses Ninth Consecutive Game

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) will miss a ninth consecutive game on Tuesday against the Lakers.

Kyle Lowry Remains On The Shelf Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will not be available for Tuesday's matchup against Denver.

Immanuel Quickley Still Out On Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (hip) remains out on Tuesday versus Orlando. The former Knick has been banged up all year, missing time because of a pelvic contusion and an elbow injury.

Collin Sexton Resting On Monday Night

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (rest) won't suit up for Monday's rematch with the Pelicans. The 26-year-old has had issues staying on the floor at times throughout his career.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (elbow) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat.

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

When healthy, Harris has been playing minutes in the teens, which isn't likely going to be enough […]

D'Angelo Russell Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Russell looked fine during Sunday's game where he finished with nine points, four rebounds, and seven assists in 23 minutes of action.
