Bogdan Bogdanovic Struggles On Wednesday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic scored only seven points in Wednesday's loss to the Charlotte Hornets. The 2017 No. 27 overall pick logged 24 minutes from the bench, going 3-for-9 from the field and 1-for-5 from deep, adding four rebounds and four assists. Fortunately, he had three steals, which helped offset some of his shooting […]

Josh Richardson To Miss Friday's Game

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Celtics.

The expectation is that […]

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Kennard was able to play 15 minutes in the season opener, but now he enters concussion protocol. Ziaire Williams is expected to continue starting at small forward.

Terance Mann Misses Opening Night

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Terance Mann (ankle) won't be in the lineup Wednesday versus Portland. The 27-year-old suffered an ankle sprain in Monday's practice.

Bryce McGowens Doubtful For Season Opener

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Bryce McGowens (ankle) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's season opener against Atlanta. The 20-year-old is carrying a sprained left ankle, and it looks like he will have to sit out the game. He hurt his ankle during a workout in late September.

Chris Duarte Questionable For Season Opener

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Chris Duarte (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's season opener versus the Utah Jazz. The good news is, Duarte has made progress in his recovery from a left knee bone bruise. Despite that, the Kings are still listing him as questionable for Wednesday's contest.

Veteran forward Eric Gordon will […]

Jazz Pick Up Team Option On Ochai Agbaji

Utah Jazz guard Ochai Agbaji had his team option picked up by the club on Monday. He's now linked with the team through the 2024-25 season.

Luka Doncic Goes Through Full Practice

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) went through a full practice on Monday.

The 28-year-old, acquired via trade in the offseason, averaged 10.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.4 rebounds in 62 games with the Wizards in 2022-23. Fortunately, he's increased his activity level after battling back spasms throughout the preseason and is nearing […]

Immanuel Quickley Doesn't Sign Extension

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley has not signed an extension with the organization ahead of Monday's deadline.

He took a major step forward last season as he […]

Bradley Beal Questionable Versus The Warriors

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) is questionable ahead of Tuesday's clash with Golden State.

Both players are expected to handle […]

NBA Draft 2023: UDFAs Who Won't Waste Time

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr. Irrelevant." That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr. Irrelevant" could just […]
