New York Giants linebacker Azeez Ojulari (calf) is not expected to play in Week 1 against the Titans. The 22-year-old is a game-time call. However, things aren't looking promising.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring) isn't expected to play on Sunday during the season opener against the visiting 49ers.

Malcolm Hill Returning To Chicago

Free-agent guard Malcolm Hill agreed to a two-way contract with the Bulls. The 26-year-old averaged 3.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 16 games in Chicago last season.

Knicks Interested In Bojan Bogdanovic

Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic is reportedly on the Knicks' radar.

With the team recently waiving Norvel Pelle and signing Olivier Sarr, Cacok will have some competition for […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Dealing With Knee Discomfort

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) didn't play during Monday's EuroBasket contest against Great Britain due to knee discomfort. However, according to Greece head coach Dimitris Itoudis, it's "nothing major." Fortunately, the 27-year-old will play on Tuesday.
