Caris LeVert A Late Addition To Injury Report Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Caris LeVert (wrist) has been added to the injury report on Monday afternoon with what they're calling right wrist soreness.

But he'll be out there, avoiding his third absence of the 2024-25 campaign.

AJ Green Won't Play On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Franz Wagner Remains Sidelined Friday

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (oblique) is not ready to return just yet as he's listed as out while he continues to ramp up his conditioning.
