Minnesota Timberwolves guard Josh Okogie (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has played in each of the last two games, so possibly this is the team giving him a rest day. Okogie is dealing with right ankle soreness, but should be fine going forward. He'll likely […]

Devin Booker Ruled Out During Sunday's Matchup

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (conditioning) will not suit up for Sunday's preseason matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Gary Payton II Will Be Available On Tuesday Night

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (hernia) practiced on Saturday and will be available to play during the upcoming preseason outing against the Lakers. The 28-year-old has been working his way back from an inguinal hernia, so his availability for the exhibition in L.A. is good news concerning his chances of making the team. […]

C.J. McCollum Out Against Sacramento

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum (coach's decision) won't play during Monday night's exhibition clash against the Kings.

Sandro Mamukelashvili Starting In Friday's Game

Jimmy Butler And Others To Rest On Friday

The Miami Heat will rest several of their primary players for Friday's preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Eric Gordon Won't Play In Thursday's Preseason Contest

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (ankle) won't suit up for Thursday's preseason contest. This isn't shocking considering his injury history and it's a meaningless game. The veteran guard is going to have more competition than years prior. Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green have already been named the starters. That means, Gordon will compete with […]

Brooklyn Trades For Edmond Sumner, Then Waives Him

Point/shooting guard Edmond Sumner (Achilles) was dealt from the Indiana Pacers to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, but he was ultimately waived in a cost-cutting move for the franchise.
