Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Khris Middleton will take a seat for Friday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks due to rest purposes.

Greg Monroe Waived Hours After Trade

Center Greg Monroe was traded to the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday but will fail to suit up for the team as he was released just hours after the announcement of a deal.

Anderson’s absence should mean […]

Joakim Noah Available On Need Basis For Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies center Joakim Noah has been listed as available for Thursday’s contest versus the Oklahoma City Thunder, but on a need basis. Considering the team traded franchise center Marc Gasol and power forward JaMychal Green earlier in the day, leaving Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ivan Rabb in the frontcourt, there would seem to be […]

De'Anthony Melton Will Remain Out For Friday’s Game

Phoenix Suns point guard De'Anthony Melton will not only be out for Friday’s contest versus the Golden State Warriors, but it appears he has been jumped on the depth chart as well. With the recent acquisition of Tyler Johnson, the former Miami Heat southpaw will enter the starting five and take over where Melton had […]

Kawhi Leonard To Sit Out Thursday

Toronto Raptors small forward Kawhi Leonard will miss Thursday’s contest versus the Atlanta Hawks due to a sore left knee.

T.J. Warren To Miss Eighth Straight Game Friday

Phoenix Suns small/power forward T.J. Warren will not be available for Friday’s contest versus the Golden State Warriors as he continues to nurse right ankle soreness.

Devin Booker’s Status Up In The Air For Friday

Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Devin Booker is listed as questionable to make his return to action Friday versus the Golden State Warriors due to right hamstring tightness.

Luka Doncic Questionable To Play On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic has picked up a questionable tag for Friday’s contest against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a bruised right thigh.
