Jeremy Lamb, Doug McDermott Questionable For Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) and forward Doug McDermott (ankle) are listed as questionable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Terrence Ross Won't Play In Tuesday's Contest

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It is not a good sign when a player gets ruled out a full day in advance. Although, the Magic don't have much incentive to rush him out there at less than 100 percent. R.J. Hampton and Gary […]

Anthony Edwards Has Bounce-Back Performance With 23 Points

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards, who managed only 12 points in Friday's win over Miami, did much better on Sunday against the Clippers, leading the team with 23 points in a 124-105 loss.

With only a few weeks left […]

Jimmy Butler In Jeopardy Of Sitting Against Nets

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) could miss Sunday's contest against Brooklyn. The veteran has been dealing with a sprained right ankle but has been able to play through it, so it appears likely he will be good to go. If he does sit out for some reason, Goran Dragic, Trevor Ariza, Tyler Herro, and […]

James Harden Out Again On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) will sit out during Sunday's matchup against Miami. The veteran continues to make progress toward working his way back from a right hamstring strain.

Sterling Brown Ruled Out For Sunday

Houston Rockets guard Sterling Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic.

Neither of them are valuable fantasy options, […]

Jaylen Brown Sitting Out Against Warriors

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He will miss this contest due to a non-COVID related illness.

Donovan Mitchell Out At Least One Week

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is expected to miss multiple games after suffering a right ankle sprain.

James Harden Might Return Next Week

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) remains out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Miss At Least Two More Weeks

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) will be down for at least the next two weeks as he continues to rehab plantar fasciitis, head coach Mark Daigneault revealed Friday.

Gary Trent Jr. Will Miss Second Straight Game Friday

Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Magic due to a sore right ankle.
