However, he still logged nearly 30 minutes of work, more than some starters […]

Bruce Brown Back On Friday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Bruce Brown (ankle) will return from a one-game absence on Friday against the Heat. He sprained his right ankle against Sacramento on Tuesday and ended up missing Wednesday's rematch between the teams, but Brown has managed to make a relatively quick recovery. The 26-year-old has played a big part on both ends […]

Herbert Jones Good To Go Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Herbert Jones (conditioning) will be back from a two-game absence on Friday against Philadelphia. He was forced to sit out a pair of games after catching COVID-19, but Jones is now good to go again, although it remains to be seen if he will be able to assume his normal role […]

Caleb Martin, Victor Oladipo Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Miami Heat small forward Caleb Martin (quad) and point/shooting guard Victor Oladipo (rest) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Gary Trent Jr., Christian Koloko Earn Starts Friday

Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Gary Trent Jr. and center Christian Koloko have been elevated to the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Suns.

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Lonnie Walker IV (tailbone) will miss Friday's contest against the Hawks, allowing Austin Reaves to step into the starting five.

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Landry Shamet (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's contest vs. the Raptors, marking his third straight outing on the sidelines due to a sore right Achilles.

Bradley Beal Remains Unavailable For Friday’s Game

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's contest vs. Orlando due to a sore left hamstring.

Beal appeared in just seven December outings, but he managed to average […]

Terrence Ross Joins Starting Five Friday

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Terrence Ross has been elevated to the starting lineup for Friday's game against Washington. Ross will be making his first start since Nov. 1, although his production with the starting unit has been largely hit or miss this year (five single-digit scoring outings in eight games). Working in Ross' favor […]

Lonnie Walker IV Earns Questionable Tag For Friday

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Lonnie Walker IV (tailbone) has been tagged as questionable to suit up for Friday's contest vs. the Hawks due to a tailbone contusion.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (illness) was already listed as doubtful for the team's Friday night contest and now he's officially going to be sidelined.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (foot) has been given the probable status to make his return from an 18-game absence after fracturing his left foot in a mid-November game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Trae Young Will Be Available On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (calf) wasn't able to suit up a couple of days ago against the Brooklyn Nets, but his absence will stop there as he was listed as available for the team's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton continued his brilliant play this season as he flirted with his 19th double-double of the season in a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Josh Giddey Records Double-Double In Losing Effort

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey turned in a solid performance during his team's Thursday night loss to the Charlotte Hornets.

Bradley Beal Listed As Questionable For Friday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. The superstar guard sat out their last game due to left hamstring soreness.

Jrue Holiday Doubtful For Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It looks like Holiday is headed towards his second straight absence here. The expectation is that Jevon Carter would move into the starting five, assuming Holiday is unable to play. Earlier in the season, Carter was a strong […]

Donte DiVincenzo Probable For Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Donte DiVincenzo (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Normally, his status won't be noteworthy, but DiVincenzo has been hot recently. The 25-year-old has been a top-50 player over the last two weeks. The Warriors have been banged up, which has opened up more minutes […]

Keldon Johnson In, Devin Vassell Out On Thursday

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (back) will play Thursday versus the Knicks, but guard/forward Devin Vassell (knee) is forced to sit out the contest.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (hand) looks set to miss a second consecutive game Thursday against OKC, with the team listing him as doubtful for the contest.

Dejounte Murray Nearly Has Triple-Double In Losing Effort

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray may not have shot the lights out, but he did a little bit of everything to try to will the team to a win against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. The 26-year-old posted 24 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, and one steal across 40 minutes. His shooting night left a […]

Bruce Brown To Miss Wednesday's Game

Denver Nuggets guard Bruce Brown (ankle) will be sidelined for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is not good news for the Nuggets with Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon already sidelined. The Nuggets will be forced to move Bones Hyland into the starting five on Wednesday. He certainly has the potential to do damage, […]

Keldon Johnson Questionable For Thursday

San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. He was also questionable for Tuesday's contest, but ended up playing 31 minutes in that game. His absence would open up playing time for Romeo Langford, Josh Richardson, and Keita Bates-Diop. None of them are great […]

Eric Gordon Removed From Injury Report

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (groin) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Joe Harris May Miss Rest Of Road Trip

The Brooklyn Nets are unsure when Joe Harris (knee) will rejoin the team as he deals with knee soreness and swelling.

Bogdan Bogdanovic And Jalen Johnson Available Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) and forward/center Jalen Johnson (foot) are both available to play Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. This is good news for the Hawks who will be missing Trae Young (calf), Clint Capela (calf) and De'Andre Hunter (ankle). This is even better news for Bogdanovic as his knee has healed enough […]
