De'Aaron Fox Will Be Reevaluated In Three-To-Four Weeks

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) suffered a left ankle sprain at the end of practice and will be reevaluated in three-to-four weeks.

Derrick Rose Starting Monday Against Minnesota

Detroit Pistons point guard Derrick Rose (hamstring) will play and start Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Jeff Teague Will Remain On Sidelines Monday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (illness) will not play Monday night against the Detroit Pistons.

Justise Winslow Has Been Ruled Out for Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He's been in concussion protocol since November 7 and must clear the league's system before playing again. Goran Dragic, Tyler Herro (ankle), and Kendrick Nunn should benefit without Winslow. Dragic is the best fantasy option out of the […]

Derrick Rose Might Play on Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (hamstring) is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was able to fully practice on Sunday, which is a good sign moving forward. However, it's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Pistons may remain cautious. Bruce Brown and Luke Kennard would […]

Ben Simmons Could Return on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was expected to miss three games with a shoulder issue and Tuesday would mark the third game.

Shabazz Napier is Doubtful for Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Shabazz Napier (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's looking like Napier is going to miss his fourth straight game here. Jeff Teague (illness) is questionable, but hasn't shown signs of getting better and it's the second game of a back-to-back set without shootaround. Jarrett Culver […]

Jeff Teague Might Play on Monday

Tyler Herro is Questionable for Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It appears Herro is nursing a minor ankle injury, but he's been trending down recently.

Caris LeVert Has Been Ruled Out for Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Caris Levert (thumb) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. LeVert suffered a right thumb sprain on Sunday and underwent an X-ray later that day.

Rajon Rondo is Making Progress

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) was able to go through some 5-on-5 work during Monday's practice. He's listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Ben Simmons Will Be Re-evaluated on Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Simmons will be re-evaluated […]

Derrick Rose, Tim Frazier Practiced Sunday

Detroit Pistons guards Derrick Rose (hamstring) and Tim Frazier (shoulder) both suited up for Sunday's practice. Both players have been sidelined lately with lingering injuries, but have a chance to play on Monday.

Rajon Rondo Won't Play on Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Rondo is getting closer to a return, but continues to deal with a strained right calf.

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
