Amen Thompson Tagged As Questionable Versus Grizzlies

Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson (illness) returned on Monday from a 15-game absence due to an ankle sprain, then he picked up an illness afterward and was forced to miss their game on Wednesday. Now, he's tagged as questionable for the Friday night game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Thompson has yet to crack the starting […]

Desmond Bane Questionable Again With Illness On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (illness) remains questionable after missing Wednesday's game with an illness. The sharpshooting guard was listed as questionable on Wednesday before ultimately being downgraded and the illness may cause him to miss a second game on Friday. The team will see how he feels throughout shootaround and warmups to see if […]

De'Andre Hunter Questionable Again On Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been tagged as questionable for the last two games and has later been downgraded to out. He carries another questionable tag for their game against the Toronto Raptors on Friday. The right knee soreness hasn't subsided enough for him to play without pain, so fantasy managers should have […]

Alex Caruso Uncertain To Return

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is uncertain to return to Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. Caruso had missed the last two games prior to Thursday's game with a left ankle sprain. It appears Caruso re-aggravated his ankle less than five minutes into Thursday's contest. The Bulls are unlikely to push anything and will […]

Anthony Edwards To Play On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The young guard has missed three of the last five games due to a right hip pointer. The T-Wolves have cleared Edwards for this game and he'll slide into his normal role in the starting five. The expectation is that […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Probable Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) is expected to be available on Thursday versus the Timberwolves. He's bothered by back spasms but is listed as probable for the contest. The back issue kept Hardaway Jr. out from Monday's battle with the Grizzlies, but he returned on Tuesday to put on a show against the […]

Kyrie Irving Remains Sidelined On Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) will miss a third consecutive game on Thursday versus Minnesota. He injured his right heel against Portland last week. Irving is wearing a walking boot and using crutches, so it might take a while until he's ready to play again. Seth Curry (ankle) moved into the starting lineup as […]

Seth Curry Questionable Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (ankle) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Timberwolves. He made an early exit Tuesday against the Lakers due to left ankle soreness and might have to come out of the lineup completely on Thursday. Curry has started the last two games as Kyrie […]

Alex Caruso Questionable Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Miami. He's in danger of missing a third straight contest with a left ankle sprain. Ayo Dosunmu has moved to the starting five as Caruso's replacement and should continue to play a larger role on Thursday night if he can't return. […]

On Saturday, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle announced that the team will re-evaluate him in […]

Brandon Boston Jr. Won't Play Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Brandon Boston Jr. (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Boston was a late addition to the injury report due to a non-COVID related illness. The Clippers have decided to hold him out, but it doesn't sound like a long term issue. Regardless, Boston hasn't […]

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) is in the starting five ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The 30-year-old is finally ready to play for the first time this month.

Seth Curry Won't Return On Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (ankle) won't return for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The veteran guard exited the game due to left ankle soreness after only playing 12 games. The Mavs are going to take the cautious approach and hold out Curry for the rest of the game. Jaden Hardy should see […]

Grayson Allen Misses Second Straight Game

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (groin) isn't ready to return to the lineup Tuesday versus Golden State. He was out for Friday's matchup against the Kings with a groin strain and hasn't been able to practice. Allen has been a good fit in Phoenix, with injuries also helping his situation. The 28-year-old has put up […]

Gabe Vincent Remains Out On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) has been ruled out for another game ahead of Tuesday's contest against Dallas. He hasn't played since Oct. 30 due to a left knee issue, and there haven't been any updates on him for weeks. Vincent averaged over 28 minutes of action at the start of the season […]

Immanuel Quickley Ruled Out On Monday

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Monday night. The backup guard is experiencing inflammation in his right knee so the team will take a cautious approach. The good thing is that Jalen Brunson (ankle) has been upgraded to active, so they won't be without both point […]

Kyle Lowry Available Against Hornets

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (back) has been upgraded to available on Monday and will take the floor against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran guard was dealing with back spasms, but it seems that they've subsided enough for him to play. He was able to put up 17 points, five assists, and two steals in […]

Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Isaac Both Upgraded To Available On Monday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) and forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) will return to the floor from ankle sprains on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Suggs returned very quickly from an ugly-looking ankle injury just two games ago. His two-way abilities should be welcomed back with open arms by the rest of the team and […]

Anthony Edwards Questionable For Monday's Action

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hip) is regarded as questionable for Monday's clash with the Pelicans. He was limited to just four minutes last time out against Memphis and continues to deal with a right hip issue, which recently kept him off the court for two games. The Timberwolves have continued to win despite Edwards' […]

Pat Connaughton Remains On The Shelf Monday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) will remain on the sidelines Monday versus Chicago. This is going to be the fifth straight game he misses due to a right ankle sprain. Connaughton's absence should help MarJon Beauchamp maintain a significant role in the rotation, while Cameron Payne and Andre Jackson Jr. also have an opportunity […]

Bradley Beal Targets Tuesday For Return

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) is targeting a return to action on Tuesday versus Golden State, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Alex Caruso Considered Questionable Versus Bucks

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) has been tagged as questionable against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.

Caruso only played 18 minutes that night and it seems like it hasn't had time to fully heal just […]

Jalen Brunson Iffy To Play Against Raptors

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is suffering from a left ankle sprain and has been tagged as questionable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. As the leader of the offense, losing Brunson for any amount of time is a big blow to the Knicks. He's having a great season so far as […]

De'Andre Hunter Receives Questionable Tag Versus Nuggets

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (quad) received a questionable tag for the team's Monday night game against the reigning champs. He's experiencing some soreness in his right quad tendon, so it seems as though the training staff will see how he responds to shootaround and warmups to decide if he'll play or not. Hunter has […]

Jamal Murray Expected To Play Against Hawks

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) has been listed as probable to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. The Canadian combo guard saw a string of missed games due to the ankle issue and has gotten a game off here and there since then. He was able to play around 30 minutes in the […]
