Andrew Nembhard Ruled Out For Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (knee) will miss another game due to a right knee bone bruise. The 23-year-old missed out on the in-season tournament championship game after playing just 14 minutes in the semifinal matchup. Nembhard has been ruled out again, but this is the only game that counts toward the regular season. Since […]

Jalen Suggs Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for the Monday night game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The young combo guard originally hurt his ankle on Wednesday and it looked worse than it seems to be since Suggs is already up to a questionable status. He'll likely test out his ankle in […]

Caris LeVert Set To Miss Another Game On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) has officially been ruled out of the team's Monday night game against the Orlando Magic. This will be his fourth consecutive missed game due to left knee injury management. There still hasn't been any word about when he'll return from this "injury management." So, while he remains out, Isaac […]

Tyler Herro Still Out On Monday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is out again on Monday night versus the Hornets. The 23-year-old averaged 22.9 points and shot 41.0% from behind the arc in eight games this season. However, he's been out of the lineup for over a month because of a sprained ankle. Most had assumed he'd be back by […]

Kyrie Irving Has A Heel Contusion

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) underwent an MRI after exiting Friday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Luckily, the veteran avoided a serious injury, with results revealing a heel contusion. Since then, he's returned to Dallas for treatment. However, the Mavs might be without him for a while, judging by Irving's history. The former […]

Amen Thompson Recalled From G League

Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson (ankle) was recalled to the main roster. The 20-year-old had appeared in four games this season, averaging 6.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists. However, he tweaked his ankle in early November and hasn't suited up for the big club since. That said, Thompson could see meaningful minutes for the […]

Anthony Edwards Still Dealing With Hip Issue

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is expected to undergo testing on Saturday. The 22-year-old missed two games because of a hip pointer before returning for Wednesday's meeting with the San Antonio Spurs, scoring 17 points in 37 minutes. However, he lasted only four minutes against the Grizzlies on Friday before aggravating the injury. At […]

Andrew Nembhard Ruled Out For NBA Cup Final

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (knee) won't play in the first-ever NBA Cup final on Saturday against the Lakers. He hurt his right knee in Indiana's in-season tournament semifinal victory over Milwaukee. Nembhard's role in the Pacers rotation has reduced this season, but he's still averaged over 18 minutes off the pine. T.J. McConnell looked […]

Alex Caruso Fails To Complete Friday's Game

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso sprained his left ankle against the Spurs on Friday and couldn't complete the game. He had four points in 18 minutes with three rebounds, two assists, and one steal. It was a typical Caruso performance, but unfortunately, the hard-working guard picked up a new injury after already carrying a left […]

Anthony Edwards Lasts Just Four Minutes On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards was limited to only four minutes of action Friday versus Memphis after tweaking his previous hip injury. He recently missed two games with a right hip pointer problem. It was his second game back from the injury. Troy Brown Jr. logged a pair of starts in Edwards' absence and also […]

Jordan McLaughlin Back On Friday Evening

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (knee) will return for Friday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 27-year-old hasn't played in a month, missing 14 games because of an MCL sprain. There's a chance he will see fewer minutes in his first game back. However, McLaughlin hadn't played well before going down with the injury, so […]

Josh Green Ruled Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Josh Green (elbow) has been ruled out on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers while he deals with a right elbow sprain. He has been forced to miss the last two games as well and there hasn't been any word on his return just yet. Despite seeing around the same minutes he […]

Chris Duarte Considered Questionable Against Suns

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Chris Duarte (knee) has received a questionable tag for Friday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. The 26-year-old has missed the last two games due to left knee soreness and he possibly could miss a third. Since this game was added as a consolation from the in-season tournament, the start time is 11:00 […]

Alex Caruso Expected To Play On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) has been officially listed as probable for the team's Friday night game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's been dealing with the toe issue for a couple of weeks now and has only missed a couple of games from it so far. Since he's in line to play, he'll […]

Duncan Robinson Listed As Probable On Friday

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (groin) is expected to play on Friday as he was listed as probable against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It seems as though the left groin strain that he's dealing with isn't limiting him too much as he's been able to play in the team's last four games. He also has been […]

Caris LeVert Won't Suit Up Against Heat

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) has been ruled out of his third consecutive game due to left knee injury management. Since he's listed as injury management, it doesn't seem as though he should miss that much more time. There hasn't been any clear word on when he's expected to return though. As he watches […]

Lonnie Walker IV Set To Miss Friday's Game

Brooklyn Nets guard Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) will remain sidelined on Friday as he nurses a left hamstring strain. The 24-year-old has been playing some important minutes off of the bench so far this season, but the Nets draw an easier matchup against a weak Washington Wizards team on Friday. In Walker's absence, Dennis Smith […]

Landry Shamet Ruled Out Again On Friday

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (rib) will miss his second consecutive game on Friday with a right rib sprain. He doesn't have a firm timetable for his return right now, so Shamet could end up missing some more action after this game as well. While he's out, Bilal Coulibaly, Corey Kispert, and Jared Butler will […]

Jordan Clarkson Questionable For Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Clarkson has missed each of the last three games while dealing with a left hamstring strain. The good news is that Clarkson was a full participant during Thursday's practice. His return to the rotation would push Ochai […]

Brandon Boston Jr. Heads To G-League

Los Angeles Clippers guard Brandon Boston Jr. (quad) is headed to the G-League for a rehab stint. Boston was cleared for 5-on-5 work earlier this week. That being said, it appears he's ready for his first game action of the year. Boston has been unable to play this season due to tendinitis in his left […]

Jalen Suggs Won't Return On Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) won't return to Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The young guard fell awkwardly and suffered a right ankle sprain. As a result, the Magic are going to hold him out for the rest of the game. It's unknown if he'll miss more time, so fantasy managers will have […]

Dante Exum Makes First Start Of The Season

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The Mavs are looking to fill the void with Grant Williams (knee) unable to play. Exum is averaging 6.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 13.8 minutes over his last 10 games. The Mavs are […]

Alex Caruso Available For Wednesday's Game

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is available for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was considered probable coming into this game, but will officially suit up for this game. He'll be in the starting five and resume his normal role in the rotation. The presence of Caruso will mean less minutes for Ayo […]

De'Anthony Melton Will Play On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (illness) was originally listed as probable so the fact he was upgraded to active doesn't come as a huge surprise. He'll be back in the starting five along with a fully healthy Sixers squad for the first time since Kelly Oubre Jr. (ribs) first got injured. Melton's fantasy value will […]

Landry Shamet Will Not Suit Up Against 76ers

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (rib) has been downgraded to out against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. The sharpshooter is dealing with a right rib sprain that ultimately gave him too much pain to play through. While he's on the sidelines, Jordan Poole (ankle) and Johnny Davis (calf) will both see more minutes if they […]
