Milwaukee Bucks forward Jordan Nwora (back) is expected to be available for Game 1 of the playoff meeting versus Chicago. The 23-year-old is currently listed on the latest injury report because of back soreness.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoJohn Collins May Return On Sunday
Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (finger, foot) is questionable heading into the first-round opener against the Miami Heat. The 24-year-old hasn't played in over a month, although the team could certainly use him out there after Clint Capela (knee) sustained a hyperextended right knee on Friday night versus Cleveland. Nonetheless, if Collins can't make it […]

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) underwent an MRI on Saturday.

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (ankle) suffered a sprained left ankle during Saturday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) won't be available for Game 1 of the postseason matchup against the Miami Heat.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoFrank Ntilikina Out For Game 1
Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) isn't available for the opening round matchup versus Utah on Saturday. He doesn't have COVID-19, which is good.

Dennis Clausen 3 years agoTerance Mann Will Start Against New Orleans
Los Angeles Clippers guard Terance Mann will start during Friday's matchup versus the Pelicans.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard (hamstring) won't play during Friday's play-in matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Head coach Ty Lue has remained mum regarding his starting lineup. However, it's […]

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) isn't expected to see action this postseason.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf isn't going anywhere, at least for now.

However, Seattle declined the offer, making […]
