Cason Wallace Returns to Thunder Lineup

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Cason Wallace (hip) will return from a one-game absence on Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He recently hurt his left hip and didn't play in Tuesday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans. With Alex Caruso (adductor) and Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) out of the lineup, Wallace is a welcome addition to […]

Collin Gillespie Returns From One-Game Absence

Phoenix Suns guard Collin Gillespie (hand) will return to action on Thursday night against the Detroit Pistons. He has shaken off a right-hand sprain, which kept Gillespie out on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Gillespie's return will be huge for a Suns backcourt that's without Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring). On Thursday, Gillespie […]

Klay Thompson Back in Action Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (knee) will return to the lineup for Thursday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets.

Malik Monk Out Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) will miss a second consecutive game on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers after the team downgraded him from questionable to out.

Quentin Grimes Misses Second Straight Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Quentin Grimes (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings.

Paul George Active on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) will play on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. The team has upgraded George's status on the injury report from probable to available.

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) won't play on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons, missing a third consecutive game. He initially carried a questionable tag on the injury report, giving hope that Green can return to the court soon. With no Devin Booker (ankle) either, the Suns' offense will continue to rely more on Dillon […]

Gary Harris Out Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Harris (hamstring) won't play on Thursday against the Washington Wizards. He will miss the contest due to a sore left hamstring. With the Bucks taking several injury hits, Harris' workload has increased lately, and the team has even used him as a starter. However, Harris was limited to only 14 minutes […]

Naji Marshall Will Not Play Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Naji Marshall (rest) will not play in his team's matchup with the Hornets this Thursday. Marshall has been carrying a heavy workload with all the injuries around him recently, and he has started 11 straight games, averaging 32.0 minutes and 19.8 points per game. The 28-year-old will get Thursday as a rest […]

Russell Westbrook Ruled Out for Thursday's Game

Sacramento Kings guard Russell Westbrook (foot) was originally questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers but was downgraded to out on Thursday afternoon. The game is the first half of a back-to-back that finishes Friday in Boston, so Westbrook may be able to get back in action right away on Friday. Without him against the […]

Zach LaVine Returns From Two-Game Absence

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Zach LaVine (back) is not listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Paul George Expected to Play Against Kings

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Paul George (knee) is considered probable for Thursday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings.

Cam Thomas Resting on Thursday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) won't play on Thursday in Denver. The Nets will then travel to Utah to meet the Jazz on Friday night, so Thomas will presumably be back for that contest. With Noah Clowney (back) and Egor Demin (foot) also out, Michael Porter Jr. should receive even more opportunities to produce […]

Norman Powell Questionable Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Powell has recently played through a back issue, but he may eventually need to take some time off to recover. With Tyler Herro (ribs) out, Miami relies heavily on Powell on the offensive end. If he can't play on […]

Tyler Herro Remains Out Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ribs) won't play against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, missing his seventh straight game. The Heat have two back-to-backs scheduled this week, meaning Herro could miss several more games.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Cason Wallace (hip) will miss Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out, depriving the Thunder of another regular rotation player. Wallace has started six of eight games since his most recent absence on Jan. 9. With Wallace out, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah […]

Quentin Grimes Won't Play Against Bucks

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Quentin Grimes (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This isn't unexpected, as Grimes was a late addition to the injury report due to a right ankle sprain. He presumably suffered the injury during Monday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks.
