Evan Fournier To Sit Out Against Sacramento
Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) will not be available on Friday evening against the Sacramento Kings. The 28-year-old has missed three-straight while continuing to deal with spasms. In his place, look for Dwayne Bacon to likely slide in at the four position. Bacon has logged 31 or more minutes in each of his previous […]

Marcus Smart Not Close To Making A Return
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (calf) remains without a firm return date. The veteran has been dealing with a sprained left calf, an injury suffered during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers at the end of January.

Eric Gordon Returns To Starting Lineup Saturday
Houston Rockets point/shooting guard Eric Gordon has already been announced as a starter for Saturday's game versus the Knicks with Victor Oladipo (foot) unavailable.

Garrison Mathews Draws First Career Start Friday
Washington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Garrison Mathews is among the starting five for the first time in his career Friday against the Knicks.

Victor Oladipo Ruled Out For Saturday
Houston Rockets guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Sit Out Versus Nuggets
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Hamidou Diallo […]

Shake Milton Ruled Out Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard/small forward CJ Elleby (illness) will miss Thursday's game against the 76ers due to an illness.

Aside from that showing, Elleby […]

Gary Harris, P.J. Dozier Out Friday, Without Timetable For Return
Denver Nuggets shooting guards/small forwards Gary Harris (groin) and P.J. Dozier (hamstring) will miss Friday's contest against the Thunder. Neither player has taken the floor this month, and having been ruled out in excess of 24 hours prior to tip-off, they're likely not on track to return in the immediate future. Will Barton and Michael […]

Brandon Clarke Headlines Three Grizzlies Out For Friday
Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Brandon Clarke (calf), shooting guard/small forward Desmond Bane (personal), and point/shooting guard De'Anthony Melton (shoulder) have all been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Lakers.
