Otto Porter Jr. May Play On Thursday Night

Golden State Warriors forward Otto Porter Jr. (foot) has a shot at playing during Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. The veteran missed a few games during the previous series versus the Dallas Mavericks due to a foot injury. However, while the latest update is undoubtedly good news, head coach Steve […]

Gary Payton II Moving In The Right Direction

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (elbow) may be available for the NBA Finals opener versus the Celtics. The defensive specialist hasn't played since injuring his elbow during the series against the Memphis Grizzlies. But head coach Steve Kerr recently indicated Payton is progressing, although it's too early to tell if he'll be ready […]

Marcus Smart Good To Go For NBA Finals

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is good to go for the NBA Finals versus the Warriors, according to head coach Ime Udoka. The 28-year-old missed time during the Eastern Conference Finals because of a sprained right ankle, playing five games and averaging 16.6 points, 6.2 boards, 6.2 assists, and 1.2 steals. However, he struggled […]

Ivica Zubac Wants To Stay In L.A.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac hopes to remain with the team moving forward. The 25-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, averaging 10.3 points, 8.5 boards, and 1.0 blocks. L.A. holds a $7.5 million team option. However, he's also eligible for an extension this offseason. Nonetheless, Zubac logged only 24 minutes […]

Boban Marjanovic Expected To Remain In Dallas

Dallas Mavericks center Boban Marjanovic is expected to remain on the roster. The big man has one year remaining on his current deal and is due to make $3.5 million this season. Despite averaging only 4.3 points and 1.7 rebounds throughout 23 appearances during the 2021-22 campaign, the 33-year-old is a proven locker room leader, […]

Pels Hesitant To Offer Zion Williamson Fully Guaranteed Deal

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) was recently cleared to work out without any restrictions. The 21-year-old missed all of last season while attempting to work his way back from a fractured metatarsal bone in his foot. However, despite the positive news regarding Williamson's potential return to the court, ownership is reportedly hesitant to […]

Mavericks Would Like To Keep Theo Pinson

Free-agent guard Theo Pinson appeared in 19 games for Dallas during the 2021-22 season. Yet, he didn't have much of a role, averaging only 2.5 points throughout 7.8 minutes per game. Still, the Mavericks are quite fond of the 26-year-old and will likely do whatever it takes to keep him on the roster. He isn't […]

Deandre Ayton On The Pistons Radar?

Free-agent center Deandre Ayton is expected to be pursued by multiple teams over the summer, with the Pistons being one of them. Still, because the 23-year-old is a restricted free agent, the Suns have the ability to match any offer heading his way. However, Detroit may make Jerami Grant available in a sign-and-trade scenario, although […]

Coby White's Future In Chicago Uncertain

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White may be traded over the summer. With Chicago looking to add shooting ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, the team may look to move the 22-year-old to make that happen. White finished the regular season by averaging 12.7 points, 3.0 boards, and 2.9 assists while shooting 38.5% from deep. However, his […]

Jerami Grant May Be On The Block

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant may be on the move. Detroit is expected to heavily pursue Deandre Ayton, who will be a restricted free agent this summer. Because the Suns can match any potential offer, the Pistons may dangle Grant to orchestrate a sign-and-trade deal. The 28-year-old finished last season by averaging 19.2 points, 4.1 […]

Bulls May Have The Edge In Zach LaVine Sweepstakes

Free-agent guard Zach LaVine will draw plenty of interest from multiple clubs over the summer. However, his former team, the Bulls, may have an early advantage. LaVine wasn't named to an All-NBA squad, so the maximum amount he can be offered during free agency is lower. The Bulls also have his Bird rights, meaning the […]

Teams Believe James Harden Will Continue To Regress

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden was once considered the best offensive player in the league. He won an MVP in 2018, is a multi-time All-Star, and is also a three-time scoring champion. Still, despite Harden's dominance over the years, he is coming off one of the worst seasons of his career. Some would point to […]

Bengals Prioritized Bolstering Offensive Line

The Bengals focused on upgrading the offensive line this offseason. After having one of the worst units in the league over the years, Cincinnati signed three free agents this offseason, specifically Ted Karras, Alex Cappa, and La'el Collins. Cincy also selected North Dakota State's Cordell Volson with the 136th overall pick in the 2022 NFL […]

Darren Waller Not Focused On Contract Talks

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller isn't focused on a new contract. The 29-year-old, who will make $7 million this season, inked a deal in 2019. He now has two years remaining, although there isn't any guaranteed money left. Yet, with David Njoku recently receiving a four-year, $56.75 million ($28 million guaranteed), Waller will […]

Baker Mayfield Unlikely To Be Released

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield isn't likely to be cut. With the Seahawks and Panthers unwilling to eat a significant portion of Mayfield's fully-guaranteed $18.86 million contract, the team will keep him on the roster for the same reason. In the meantime, the Browns will continue to hope a franchise has a change of heart. […]

Max Strus Upgraded To Available Ahead Of Game 7

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) will play on Sunday against the Boston Celtics. This one isn't a surprise, as the 26-year-old has been a continuous presence on the league's official injury report for much of the postseason. The strained hamstring hasn't slowed him down either, primarily since he's averaged nearly 29 minutes per game […]

Kyle Lowry Cleared For Matchup With Boston On Sunday

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday's pivotal matchup against Boston. The veteran has missed time throughout much of the postseason because of a strained left hamstring. He's also struggled on the offensive end. However, Lowry had arguably his best showing of the playoffs during Friday's win, finishing with a […]

Tyler Herro Back On Sunday Evening

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) is available for Sunday's postseason matchup against the Boston Celtics. Herro has struggled during this series, averaging only 12.3 points while shooting a horrid 6.7% from deep. The 22-year-old has also missed the last three games because of a left groin strain, but he'll give it a go for […]

Robert Williams III In The Lineup On Sunday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) will play on Sunday versus the Miami Heat. With the winner of this one advancing to the NBA Finals, it was unlikely the big man would miss this one. However, he hasn't been the most consistent as of late, so DFS managers shouldn't be too eager to get […]

Marcus Smart Available For Game 7

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is available for Sunday's Eastern Conference Finals finale against the Miami Heat. Smart has a sprained right ankle. However, he logged 40 minutes of work on Friday night in Game 6, so he should be good for a full workload in Game 7. While Smart has recently struggled on […]

Teams Believe Kyrie Irving Could Be Sign-And-Trade Candidate

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving could turn down a $36.5 million player option to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Yet, if that happens, teams throughout the league believe a sign-and-trade scenario could become a possibility. Irving averaged 27.4 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.4 steals this season. However, his unwillingness to receive […]

Will Barton May Be On The Move

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton could be on the move this summer. With Jamal Murray (knee) expected to be back at full strength and the increase in production of Bones Hyland late last season, Barton may be expendable as the organization looks to bolster things on the defensive side of the ball. The 31-year-old averaged […]

Nikola Jokic Expected To Sign Extension This Summer

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is coming off another MVP season. He averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 7.9 assists and is considered by many to be the best player in the league. It's obvious the Nuggets want to keep him, although there have been rumblings that the departure of president of basketball operations Tim […]

Mark Cuban: "We Can Pay Jalen Brunson More Than Anybody"

Free-agent guard Jalen Brunson is coming off the best season of his career, averaging a career-high 16.3 points, 4.8 assists, and 3.9 rebounds. As a result, the 25-year-old will unquestionably receive plenty of interest from teams throughout the league over the summer. However, team owner Mark Cuban believes Brunson wants to remain with the team. […]

JaVale McGee Interested In Staying In Phoenix

Free-agent center JaVale McGee is interested in remaining in Phoenix. The veteran averaged 9.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks last season with the Suns and was considered one of the best backup big men in the league. McGee probably won't have a consistent role in any lineup moving ahead, especially considering his advanced NBA […]

Kyler Murray Contract May Get Done This Summer

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is still in search of a new contract. There has been tension between the signal-caller and the front office going back a while now, so things were expected to get rocky, including unfounded rumblings of a possible trade request. However, when speaking with Pat McAfee on his show, general manager […]

Chase Young To Return In Next Few Weeks

Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young (knee) is expected to return within the next few weeks. The 23-year-old tore his right ACL during the Week 10 matchup versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has been away from the team rehabbing, recently skipping OTAs. After Young made the Pro Bowl during his rookie year, his production […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Hasn't Been In Contact With New QB Coach

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) remains on the roster. It's been continuously reported that the veteran would be on the move. Yet, after having surgery on his throwing shoulder, interest from other clubs fizzled. There have also been rumblings regarding Trey Lance's lack of progress, which seemed to keep the door open for […]

Brandon Aiyuk Wants To "Maximize" Role

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is hoping to have the best season of his career. "Everyone has personal goals that they want. But I know that comes alongside with everything we want to do as a team. I'm trying to really maximize my spot, my role I have in this offense, and let […]

Gabe Vincent Still Dealing With A Hamstring Issue

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (hamstring) is questionable ahead of the playoff showdown with Miami. Vincent remains listed on the injury report because of a strained left hamstring. He logged only 17 minutes in Game 6, although his lack of work was likely attributed to the stellar play of Kyle Lowry, who had a double-double […]
