Tonight, thousands of horse racing fans will gather at Laurel Park Race Track to see which competitor will win the second leg of the 2026 Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes. This year’s field features only three competitors from this year’s Kentucky Derby, and none of them are race winner Golden Tempo.

So, who will win the 2026 “Run for the Black-Eyed Susan”? Our goal is to help your betting decisions with our rankings of the 14 competitors in Saturday’s Preakness Stakes and some good win, place and show options.

14.Robusta (30-1)

Doug O’Neill-trained colt Robusta is one of only three horses competing in the Kentucky Derby, which will also take to the track at Laurel Park on Saturday. However, he is one of the biggest long shots in this year’s race due to his recent form.

Before running in the Derby, Robusta finished seventh at Santa Anita ahead of the competition he faced in Kentucky. He then finished 14th among 19 horses at Churchill Downs. It would be surprising for Robusta to reach the top three.

13. Bull by the Horns (30-1)

The colt Bull By The Horns, owned by Peachtree Stable and Mark Corrado, has had an up-and-down career in his first five races. While he placed first at Florida in his second race in November, he came seventh in the Fourth of Youth in February and finished well behind many Derby horses.

Although he won the 2026 Rushway in March, he has struggled on fast dirt tracks, as he will this weekend.

12. Crupper (30-1)

After a sixth-place finish to start his career, the Robert Zoellner-trained colt Crupper is on the rise. He has won two of his last three races, including a win at Bathhouse Raw last month. However, the three-year-old is entering the Preakness Stakes as a major underdog due to the weak competition he has met so far.

11. Gold Crown (30-1)

Three-year-old Corona de Oro has been a solid but unspectacular horse in his first five races. In March, the Dallas Stewart-trained colt earned his first career win. However, last month, he finished behind fellow Preakness competitor The Hell We Did at the 2026 Lexington.

Since The Hell We Did is a sleeper pick on Saturday, De Oro is a possible choice for a show bet in the race.

10. Talkin’ (20-1)

After winning on his debut in August last year, the Danny Gargan-trained colt Talkin has fallen short since then. Which also includes finishing ninth at the 2025 Remsen in December. He got a chance to face Derby and Stakes level competition in his last two starts and peaked with a third-place finish in the Blue Grass last month. That’s why Talkin’ is a big underdog on Saturday.

9. Great White (15-1)

The John Ennis-trained colt Great White has been all over the map in his first four races. The three-year-old won his debut match in December and the John Battaglia Memorial in February. However, White finished fifth in his other two races, including the Blue Grass in April.

This unpredictability is the main reason why he remained a weak player on Saturday. Furthermore, despite being an impressive specimen, losing his composure minutes before entering the post at Kentucky adds to that unpredictable reputation. White has the size and talent, but seems too risky.

8. Napoleon Solo (8-1)

After starting his career with consecutive wins including the October 2025 Champagne, Gold Square horse Napoleon Solo has not looked good since. In February, he faced tough competition at the Fountain of Youth and finished fifth. Then last month, he went head-to-head again in the Preakness and Derby-level contests and again came in fifth.

Solo gave bookmakers no reason to think he could be an option for a spot or a show, let alone a long-shot option to win.

7.Oceli (6-1)

Ouseley, a horse trained by D. Whitworth Beckman, received a chance at the 2026 Kentucky Derby after several horses, including Right to Party, were eliminated from the race. Although Ouseley had six championships on his resume, he had no wins to his name.

Nevertheless, to the surprise of many the colt finished third at Kentucky. After that, Occelli’s showing can’t be doubted and should be considered a rock-solid show choice again this weekend.

6. Pretty Boy Mia (15-1)

Jeremiah Englehart-trained horse Pretty Boy Mia is an intriguing underdog for Saturday’s Preakness Stakes. Although he finished fourth at Aqueduct in February, he has been strong in his other three races this year. Which also includes consecutive wins in their last two.

The big question is whether his success is based on his athletic talent or the competition he has faced so far in his career.

5. Incredibolt (5-1)

The colt Incredibolt, trained by Riley Mott, has had a checkered career. That’s why he was last in the betting odds for the Kentucky Derby after finishing sixth in the G3 Face off in January. However, he turned heads by winning the Virginia Derby in March, leading some to wonder if he might perform better than expected in the Derby.

He did not do so and finished sixth. However, oddsmakers still rate the colt highly, and he is viewed as one of the favorites in Saturday’s Preakness Stakes.

4. Chip Honcho (5-1)

At the end of 2025, the Steve Asmussen-trained colt Chip Honcho was looking like a potential contender for this year’s Triple Crown. However, in 2026, he surprisingly struggled in three of his races. While there he finished second in the 2026 Risen Star in February, came fourth in the Lecomte in January, and came fifth in the high-level competition in the Louisiana Derby in March.

However, being trained by a two-time Preakness winner is a major reason why Honcho is a secret choice to win in the Preakness. Also making him a strong position pick.

3. The Hell We Did (15-1)

Todd Fincher-trained colt The Hell We Did is an interesting option to consider for riskier punters. Although he has had intermittent difficulties leading the way in races, he has looked very good in his first four races, with two second-place finishes and two first-place finishes. He is a legitimate choice to secure a surprise win on Saturday, and should be considered for all Place and Show bets.

2. Iron Honor (9-2)

Elite trainer Chad Brown has a horse in Saturday’s race, and he is the current favorite Iron Honor. Honor looked very good in his first two races as he took consecutive first-place finishes to start his career. However, at the Wood Memorial in April, he surprisingly finished seventh. But many people believe that they are given tough competition in the beginning itself and are thrown out of the game.

Honor is the safest bet to win, place or perform in the 2026 Preakness Stakes.

1. Taj Mahal (5-1)

Brittany Russell-trained colt Taj Mahal enters the 2026 Preakness Stakes as the top selection for good reason. While the three-year-old only has three races on his resume, he has still performed excellently. 2026 Federico Tesio won all three, including.

Palace is a strong spot or show bet on a Saturday night, especially under the guidance of one of the game’s top coaches. However, we’re going a little further and picking him to win the stakes.

Former IWGP Heavyweight Champion EVIL may debut in WWE soon.

Sources have indicated to BodySlam that EVIL is expected to debut soon following his recent signing with the company, with tonight’s NXT emerging as a possibility given the mysterious storyline currently ongoing on the brand.

PWInsider first confirmed the signing last week, noting that WWE has yet to publicly acknowledge the deal. A follow-up report from PWInsider also revealed that EVIL is currently listed internally on WWE’s diverse roster – the same category used for legends and injured talent – ​​suggesting that the company has not yet decided which brand he will be assigned to. That picture is probably about to change.

So where does evil fit in? The NXT connection stems from last week’s episode of the brand, during which Tony D’Angelo was presented with a box containing the Japanese kanji for “war”. The delivery immediately led to speculation that EVIL may have been behind it, with many fans and observers pointing out the obvious similarities between the secret package and his arrival in WWE.

Others have suggested that the sender could be Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Meteor Sasaki, who is currently on tour in NXT. No confirmation of either theory has been provided, but the timing of the bodyslam’s imminent first report on The Tonight Show fuels EVIL speculation.

EVIL had a breakout moment in his career after betraying Los Ingobernables de Japon to join up with Bullet Club in 2020. He defeated Tetsuya Naito, retaining both the IWGP Heavyweight and IWGP Intercontinental Championships, a moment that marked a significant change in NJPW’s storytelling at the time.

His overall resume includes one IWGP Heavyweight Championship reign, one IWGP Intercontinental Championship reign, four NEVER Openweight Championship reigns, two IWGP Tag Team Championship reigns, and six NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship reigns. He left NJPW in January before his WWE contract was confirmed in late April. Japanese sources are expected to drop the EVIL ring name going forward, although WWE has not publicly confirmed any new name.

A new rumor has opened the door for the San Francisco 49ers or Kansas City Chiefs to land a Pro Bowl-level wide receiver, which they could actually use tonight during Round 1 of the NFL Draft.

Heading into this week’s NFL Draft, there has been an unusual amount of trade-related talk. With this year’s quarterback class being weak, teams ranked in the top 10 are more willing to trade down and acquire more draft assets this year or next.

However, there have also been reports of teams without a first rounder trying to get a selection tonight, or teams trying to add another pick late in Round 1. The Jacksonville Jaguars are a part of that group, and they’re clearly hanging on to a player they took late in Round 1 two years ago in order to make the selection on Thursday.

According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, “The Jaguars could try to lay the groundwork for a potential trade in the bottom of the first round. A potential lure could include receiver Brian Thomas Jr.”

An opportunity emerges for the 49ers or Chiefs to trade Brian Thomas Jr. tonight

There are four teams with late picks in Round 1 who would be interesting to see give up their selection for a one-time Pro Bowl. Those franchises are the San Francisco 49ers (Pick 27), Kansas City Chiefs (Pick 29), Buffalo Bills (Pick 26), and New England Patriots (Pick 31).

The Chiefs targeting Thomas Jr. makes sense as they also have the ninth pick on Thursday night, and are in desperate need of a legitimate receiver. In Kansas City, Thomas could bring the Chiefs’ offense back to the dominant power it was at the beginning of their dynasty.

With Brandon Aiyuk’s future in San Francisco in jeopardy, the 49ers giving up their only first-rounder for Thomas Jr. would be a smart decision. They might be waiting for this perfect opportunity before officially releasing the receiver.

The Bills and Patriots both have fits for Thomas Jr. However, a pair of AFC East teams heavily linked to an AJ Brown trade may hold their pick and wait until the Philadelphia Eagles star officially hits the open market, which is rumored to be after June 1.

Available after 2025, Thomas Jr. has shown he is not a good fit for head coach Liam Coen’s attack. In his rookie season, he earned Pro Bowl honors (1,282 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns) and has a very affordable contract for the next two years.

While there has been much discussion about the Dallas Cowboys trading up in Round 1 of the NFL Draft, owner and general manager Jerry Jones has poured cold water on the idea.

In the first round of the 2026 draft tonight, there has been an unusual amount of trade discussion. This year’s class is weak at quarterback, so teams ranked in the top 10 seem to be more open to the idea of ​​moving down to get more draft assets this year or next.

This bodes well for a team like the Cowboys as they have two selections in the top 20 of this year’s event. Furthermore, Jones has always shown a willingness to take bold steps during his reign. So trading up for players like Texas Tech’s David Bailey, or Ohio State’s Arvel Reese and Sonny Styles in the top three or five seems plausible as they could help fill the void left by last year’s Micah Parsons trade.

Jerry Jones won’t call for trade in NFL Draft

However, it doesn’t seem like Jones has any intention of being as aggressive in completing a trade as speculation has suggested. In a recent interview (h/t Pro Football Talk), Jones revealed that although he has been getting calls about a trade, he is in no rush to pick up the phone and make a deal to go after Bailey, Reese or Styles.

But why would he choose not to be aggressive enough to make a move? Well, it seems Jones now believes the Cowboys would be better off being patient. “[Trade offers are] It’s generally better to come in than out, obviously. The results are better for us,” Jones said.

This is a pretty surprising opinion from a man who has never been afraid to take risks when it comes to adding potential stars or impactful players. Although Cowboys fans are hoping the team will move to get an elite pass rusher, it seems like Jones is okay with keeping his picks at Nos. 12 and 20, respectively, if he doesn’t like the trade up offers he receives.

It also can’t be ruled out that Jones is hesitant in the hopes that the current offers get better in Round 1 tonight.

One notable NFL Draft expert believes the New York Giants could make a very questionable decision with their first pick in tonight’s event.

There is a lot of excitement surrounding the first draft of the John Harbaugh era for the Giants. With the No. 5 pick heading into this week’s event, the team has several directions it can go. In various mock drafts since the season ended, Big Blue has been linked to a boatload of five players, including Ohio State’s Caleb Downs and Notre Dame’s Jeremiah Love.

However, Thursday night got even more exciting for Giants fans last week when the team somehow managed to acquire the 10th overall pick from the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for disgruntled three-time Pro Bowler Dexter Lawrence. The G-Men now have two picks in the top 10, and there is new speculation over who they might take with that second selection.

One name that has come up frequently in recent conversations is Arizona State wide receiver, Jordan Tyson. A player who impressed in his open workout last week. Still, while some believe he could be the best receiver in this year’s class, he was projected to fall out of the top 15 for a few weeks due to injury concerns and declining issues last season.

Could the New York Giants use the No. 5 pick on Jordan Tyson?

But taking him 10th overall could still be a smart risk because of his high upside. However, during an appearance rich eisen show This week, ESPN draft expert Matt Miller suggested the Giants could use their pick five on Tyson when asked about a potential surprise in Round 1.

Miller said, “I think it would be surprising. Where the Giants get on the clock, and whether it’s you guys, or you know, Mel Kiper and those guys talking about it, and you’re running through all the options of these defensive players, and they call out Jordan Tyson.”

Tyson is a very talented player, but there are good reasons to be concerned about his durability at the next level. Selecting him at age 10 may be a reach, but a worthwhile risk. There’s no point in taking a player originally expected to go in the top five at pick 15 when Harbaugh and the front office have the luxury of picking again at 10.

The Vegas Golden Knights enter Saturday with a long-awaited opportunity to make the playoffs after a season that has included many ups and downs. After moving on from head coach Bruce Cassidy and making a move at the trade deadline, the Golden Knights now find themselves within reach of the postseason, a situation that once seemed uncertain.

This opportunity came against the NHL’s top team, the Colorado Avalanche. The Golden Knights can secure their spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in one of two ways, which we’ll get into shortly.

For a team that has endured ups and downs in a tumultuous campaign, the stakes are clear. Take care of business and the Golden Knights have arrived. Let’s look at those two options.

1. Victory and the Golden Knights have arrived

Of course, the easiest path forward for the Golden Knights is a win over the Avalanche, although that’s easier said than done. A win would all but secure their playoff spot, eliminating the need to rely on help elsewhere and providing a jolt of momentum heading into the final stages.

Avalanching is a difficult task. They are 8-2-0 in their last 10 games and have already secured the President’s Trophy, which is awarded annually to the team with the league’s best regular season record.

For the Golden Knights, the match also marks the end of a four-game road trip in which they have gone 2-0-1, extending their point streak to seven games. In keeping with their postseason fortunes, the Golden Knights come off playing some of their most consistent hockey of the season.

2. Loss to the Nashville Predators or Winnipeg Jets

If the Golden Knights fall to the Avalanche, their playoff hopes can still be secured with the right results during the league.

If either the Nashville Predators or Winnipeg Jets lose, the Golden Knights will clinch a postseason berth. In that scenario, they would maintain enough separation in the standings to secure their spot, regardless of their own result.

Although returning to the playoffs is not the preferred path, it would still serve the primary purpose of extending the season.

Puck drop in Denver is at 5:00pm PST.

crystal Palace We will take a closer look at transfer target Ousmane Diomande tonight, with the defender set to play for Sporting CP against Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals.

The first leg will take place in Lisbon before returning to London on 15 April. For Crystal Palace, this encounter provides a timely opportunity to assess the player they have been following for months.

22-year-old Diomande has become a key player for Sporting. He has already impressed by combining domestic league action with European exposure this season. In Liga Portugal alone, he has played over 1,100 minutes, showing consistency in selection and performances.

At 190 cm tall, the centre-back brings a strong physical presence. He also contributes defensively with regular clearances and winning duels, while remaining comfortable in possession. His profile matches what many Premier League clubs now want in central defenders.

These include Crystal Palace, who are already close to signing him.

Previous move and Crystal Palace transfer interest

Last summer, Crystal Palace made a €55m (£47m) offer for Ousmane Diomande. This step was not takenBut the interest remains.

The London Club keeps a close watch on them. The match against Arsenal will give them a first-hand look at how they perform against Premier League level opponents.

Other English clubs including newcastle unitedAlso keep an eye on Ivory Coast International. even Manchester United Were linked at one point, when Reuben Amorim was in charge. Nevertheless, Crystal Palace is the team that has progressed furthest in previous attempts.

Sporting, for its part, is ready to do business under the right circumstances. The defender recently renewed his contract until 2030 with a release clause of €80m (£69m).

However, reports from Portugal indicate the club will consider offers closer to his market value, which is currently around €45m (£39m).

What can the match decide?

Ousmane Diomande is expected to be part of Ivory Coast’s squad for the upcoming World Cup. According to the Portuguese newspaper, this adds another layer to his situation ballBecause strong performance can increase both demand and price.

However, the immediate focus right now is on the Champions League clash. Both of these games provide a clear benchmark. Facing Arsenal over two legs offers a direct test against Diomande’s level in England.

For Crystal Palace, the timing is ideal. They already know the player, have already explored the possibility of a deal and now they have a new chance to evaluate him in a high-level setting.

If he performs well, this week could go a long way in deciding whether Palace come back with a serious offer in the summer.

West Ham United will spend tonight keeping a close eye on Mateus Fernandes, with Nuno Espirito Santo making it clear he simply wants the midfielder back fit.

The Hammers face Leeds United in the FA Cup on Sunday. Therefore, this international break carries obvious risks for the club. Speaking in Portugal, Nuno did not hide that concern, even if he expressed it with humor.

“I just hope he comes back fit [laughs]Because we have an important game on Sunday,” He said during the ANTF Coaches Forum, as relayed cnn.

That line might have raised a smile. However, it also underlined how important it is Matthew Fernandes Has become for West Ham in recent weeks.

Nuno balances pride and concern

Nuno Espirito Santo then made sure to praise the player in detail, showing how highly he rates the 21-year-old.

“I’m very, very happy for him. I think he deserves it. He’s had a great season.”

The West Ham manager did not stop there. He expanded on why Matías has earned his place in Portugal.

“He works very hard, he has a lot of talent, he is very disciplined and hopefully he can help the national team.”

Those comments reflect the role Mateus Fernandes now plays at the London Stadium. He is no longer an option for the team. Instead, he has become a regular part of Nuno’s plans. And he likes it.

according to transfer marketThe midfielder has played 29 Premier League matches this season. He has scored three goals and played over 2,400 league minutes. Those numbers point to continued confidence from the manager.

Additionally, his performances have also attracted attention in Portugal. Reports there describe him as increasingly influential in both the club and national systems.

The focus remains strong on West Ham

Mateus Fernandes may be enjoying his moment on the international stage. Still, Nuno Espirito Santo made it clear where his focus lay.

“Yesterday… We haven’t talked for a long time, but for me it’s day by day.” he explained.

“I’m traveling right now and tomorrow I have to train to prepare for the FA Cup. That’s my priority.”

This sums up the situation at West Ham. The club can appreciate the progress of Mateus Fernandes. Plus, he needs to be available and ready for a major domestic match.

The midfielder’s contract reportedly runs until 2030, giving the Hammers long-term security. However, short-term anxiety is much simpler.

West Ham want Matias Fernandes to return from international duty without any problems. Nuno Espirito Santo has already said it out loud.

The Orlando Magic have lost six straight games and will now host the Sacramento Kings on Thursday at the Kia Center. The losing streak came as the Magic played their best basketball this season en route to a seven-game winning streak.

They are still 10th in the East and within shooting distance of the playoff spots, and will now attempt to turn their fortunes around against a Kings team that has struggled to win in recent games as well. They have lost three of their last four matches and are struggling with several injuries themselves.

For the Magic, Jalen Suggs is on the official injury report due to illness. Suggs last played in a 105–104 loss against the Los Angeles Lakers, when he contributed 14 points and six assists. Orlando is also facing three other confirmed absences, although their injury list is shorter than the Kings’.

Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, Keegan Murray, Russell Westbrook, and De’Andre Hunter have all rounded out the supporting cast.

Jalen Suggs vs. Kings injury status

Suggs’ potential absence means the Magic can once again rely on the indispensable production of Paolo Banchero to get them over the line. Suggs has not featured in the last two matches and has been a key presence for his team when fit.

He’s averaging 13.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game and his production will be a big miss despite the Kings’ weak lineup. Paolo Banchero, who is averaging 22.7 points, 8.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, recently became the fifth player in franchise history to record consecutive 35-point games.

Regardless, with Franz Wagner also sidelined, fans will be hoping Suggs can return to the lineup. Despite their mixed performance, the Kings have plenty of talent to test in Orlando.

DeMar DeRozan is averaging 18.2 points on 49.2% shooting, while Malik Monk is going 39.7% from three-point field, but struggled against the Charlotte Hornets last time out. Devin Carter and Maxime Renaud have also been in points in recent weeks, and their production could prove key to Sacramento once again competing.

The Magic completely defeated the Kings in their last meeting, winning 131-94, and will once again be looking for a comfortable win given the extent of Sacramento’s absences.

On Wednesday evening, the Atlanta Hawks will take to the road for a big game against the Detroit Pistons. This injury report includes Jalen Johnson, who is currently listed as questionable due to left shoulder inflammation. Here’s everything we know about Johnson’s injury and his playing status against the Pistons on Wednesday.

Jalen Johnson’s game status against the Pistons

Given his questionable designation on the injury report, there is currently some doubt as to whether Jalen Johnson will be able to appear in Detroit on Wednesday night. Johnson has missed the last two games for the Hawks due to illness and was seen wearing a sleeve over his left shoulder when he was on the court against the Houston Rockets last week.

Meanwhile, the Pistons have an injury report ahead of this matchup, with Cade Cunningham sidelined due to his collapsed lung, while Isaiah Stewart is also out with a calf strain. Marcus Sasser is questionable with a right hip strain, while Javonte Green is questionable with an ankle sprain.

Overall, the Hawks have been playing some better basketball over the past month, recently going on an 11-game winning streak, and then winning two in a row since that streak was snapped. Many of the wins have come against lesser competition, and even without Cunningham, the Pistons will present a very strong opponent for Atlanta, so they would certainly love to have Johnson back on the field and ready to go.

The Hawks are 0-3 against the Pistons so far this year.

In any case, tipoff between Atlanta and Detroit is scheduled for 7:00 pm ET from the Motor City. This game will be broadcast by ESPN.

The Milwaukee Bucks visit the Portland Blazers on Wednesday night. Kyle Kuzma is on the injury report along with Bobby Portis, with both players listed as questionable. Kumza is dealing with a right Achilles injury, while Portis is dealing with a right wrist sprain after scoring 11 points and six rebounds in a 129-96 loss to the LA Clippers. With the Bucks shutting down Giannis Antetokounmpo for the season, here’s everything we know about Kyle Kuzma’s injury and his game status against the Blazers.

Injury status of Kyle Kumza, Bobby Portis

Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma has scored 10,000 career points, a milestone in his career, after last week’s 129-114 loss to the Phoenix Suns. Kuzma also finished with 20 points on 7-for-12 shooting, including three triples and two rebounds, in the Bucks’ 108–105 win against the Suns. However, the answer to whether or not Kyle Kuzma is playing tonight is probably yes.

Averaging 13.7 points and 6.4 rebounds on the season, Portis has stepped up amid the absence of Bucks All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo. He averaged 16.0 points on 50% shooting, including 46.7% from deep, and 6.0 rebounds throughout March.

Still, when the question comes up is Bobby Portis playing tonight against the Blazers, the answer is probably.

The Toronto Raptors play the final game of their five-game road trip against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday at the Intuit Dome. They have gone 2-2 during that span and come into the game coming off a 143-127 win over the Utah Jazz.

Meanwhile, the Clippers are looking to improve from the .500 mark (36-36) and come into this game looking to complete a hat trick of wins. Last time out they emerged 129-96 winners, with Kawhi Leonard returning with 28 points and five rebounds. However, he is a suspect in this matter.

On the other hand, Raptors are also shorthanded and have many potential absences. Among them is none other than Brandon Ingram, who is listed as questionable on the official injury report due to inflammation in the heel of his right foot, a problem that kept him out of the win against the Jazz.

Brandon Ingram’s injury status vs. Clippers

Given that Brandon Ingram’s injury report is questionable, his availability for this late-night contest in Los Angeles remains uncertain. Ingram played against the Phoenix Suns, but had a bad night, scoring only six points in 27 minutes, while getting four rebounds and three blocks on 3-10 shooting. Toronto lost that game 120–98.

They enter this matchup at 40-31, which is good for 5th place in the East. The Raptors scored 143 points in their last game, while also recording a franchise-record 49 assists, showing they are capable of hurting defenses even without Ingram.

However, four of their starters finished with over 20 points, led by RJ Barrett, who returned with 27, while Scotty Barnes had a double-double of 20 points and 10 assists. Additionally, Ingram is averaging 21.6 points per game and if he misses his second consecutive game, Toronto will need players like Barrett and Barnes to take over offensive responsibilities.

Barrett has scored more than 20 points in 10 of his last 15 games, while Barnes is averaging 18.6 points per game for the season. This matchup presents a contrast in styles, with Toronto relying heavily on ball movement and assist-driven offense (third in the NBA at 29.1 assists per game), while Los Angeles relies on shot efficiency and halfcourt scoring.

Regardless, the Clippers have won six of their last eight games in the Intuit Dome, while averaging 127.3 points over that span. They also remain an efficient offensive unit, ranking among the league leaders in both field goal percentage (48.5%) and three-point shooting (36.5%), while also leading the NBA in free-throw percentage (82.6%).

LA also won the first meeting between the two sides this season, 121–117 in overtime. Still, Leonard is averaging 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists this campaign and L.A.’s ability to make that run may also depend on whether their best player plays.

Raptors injury report

Brandon Ingram – Questionable (right foot, heel swelling).

Emmanuel Quickley – doubtful (right foot; plantar fasciitis)

Jakob Poeltl – doubtful (back; injury management)

Chucky Hepburn – Out (G League Two-Way)

AJ Lawson – Out (G League Two-Way)

Elijah Martin – Out (G League Two-Way)

shear injury report

Kawhi Leonard – Questionable (left ankle; sprain)

Jordan Miller – questionable (back; soreness)

Bradley Beal – out (left hip; fracture)

Yannick Konan Niederhauser – out (rupture of right Lisfranc ligament)

On Wednesday evening, the Los Angeles Clippers will take the field for a home game against the Toronto Raptors. Kawhi Leonard is on the injury report, currently listed as questionable due to a left ankle sprain. Here’s everything we know about Leonard’s injury and his playing status on Wednesday against the Raptors.

Kawhi Leonard’s playing situation against the Raptors

There is some doubt at the moment as to whether Kawhi Leonard will be able to compete against his former team on Wednesday, given his questionable designation on the injury report. Leonard played in the Clippers’ last game, a home win over the Milwaukee Bucks, and played well for the most part, but he has been on the injury report repeatedly over the past week due to an ankle ailment.

The injury report also includes Jordan Miller, who is questionable due to back pain.

For the Raptors, Brandon Ingram is questionable for this game due to heel inflammation, while Jakob Poeltl is also questionable due to management of a lower back strain injury. Immanuel Quickley is listed as questionable due to a planter.
He has fasciitis in his right foot.

Overall, the Clippers are looking to pick up as many wins as possible to improve their playoff position as the 2025-26 season enters its home leg.

The Clippers are currently in eighth place in the conference, and although it is unlikely they can move further than that, they are only half a game ahead of the ninth-place Portland Trail Blazers. Slipping up in that position would mean winning two play-in games to reach the playoffs, not just one.

In any case, the Clippers and Raptors are scheduled to tip off from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on Wednesday at 10:30 pm ET.

The Philadelphia 76ers will take the field for a home game against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday evening. Joel Embiid is on the injury report, currently listed as questionable due to a right oblique strain. Everything we know about Embiid’s injury and his playing status on Wednesday against the Bulls.

Joel Embiid’s playing situation against the Bulls

Joel Embiid hasn’t appeared in a game for the 76ers since late February as he’s been dealing with an oblique strain, so his upgrade to questionable on the injury report before the Bulls game is certainly an encouraging sign, even if he doesn’t ultimately suit up for it.

Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. will be out for the 76ers in this one, while Paul George is back in the lineup after serving a league-mandated suspension of 25 games. Quentin Grimes is questionable due to an illness.

Meanwhile, the Bulls have listed forward Anfernee Simmons as questionable due to a left ulnar styloid fracture, while Isaac Okoro is also questionable due to right patellofemoral pain syndrome. Guershon Yabusele is questionable with a left ankle sprain.

The 76ers are currently in seventh place in the Eastern Conference due to consecutive losses to both the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic, and they are looking to bounce back after losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder at home earlier this week.

Philadelphia is a game back from the Atlanta Hawks, who occupy the coveted number six seed in the conference, which represents an opportunity to avoid the play-in round altogether.

In any case, the 76ers and Bulls are scheduled to tip off from Philadelphia on Wednesday at 7:00 PM ET.

On Tuesday evening, the Charlotte Hornets will host the Sacramento Kings as they look to continue their home winning streak. Kon Knueppel is on the injury report for the Hornets, currently listed as probable for the game due to lower back soreness. Here’s everything we know about Knueppel’s injury and his playing status against the Kings.

Kon Knueppel’s playing status against the Kings on Tuesday

Given his probable designation on the injury report, it seems more likely that Kon Nueppel will be able to suit up for the Hornets on Tuesday against the Kings. Knueppel played in Charlotte’s last game, a home blowout over the Memphis Grizzlies, and is putting together an excellent first season in the NBA, being viewed by many as the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award over former Duke teammate Cooper Flagg.

The Kings have a crowded injury report for this game, as Nick Clifford, Drew Eubanks, De’Andre Hunter, Zach LaVine, Keegan Murray, Domantas Sabonis and Russell Westbrook are already out with various injuries. Meanwhile, Precious Achiuwa and Killian Hayes are listed as questionable, while Dequan Plowden is likely with a sore right foot.

Overall, the Hornets are starting to move closer to the play-in standings in the Eastern Conference due to their current five-game losing streak to the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic, although their chances of finishing in the top six of the Eastern Conference are beginning to diminish as the season reaches its home stretch.

It is extremely important that Service takes care of business against tank teams like the Charlotte Kings to maintain his standing in the standings.

Tipoff for the Hornets vs. Kings matchup is scheduled for 7:00 PM ET.

On Monday evening, the San Antonio Spurs will hit the road to take on the Miami Heat. Stephen Cassel and Devin Vassell are on the injury report for this game, both of whom were originally listed as questionable. Here’s everything we know about Cassel and Vassell’s injury status and their game status vs. the Heat.

Devin Vassell, Stephen Cassel playing situation vs. Heat

After being listed on the injury report due to hip tightness, Stephen Cassel is officially ready for the game against Miami. Meanwhile, Vassell is also a doubt with a right hamstring strain. Both players have missed time periodically over the past few weeks, with both sitting out San Antonio’s last game, which was a comfortable home win over the Indiana Pacers.

For the Heat, Jaime Jacquez Jr. is probable for this game because of left hip tightness, while All-Star Norman Powell is questionable because of right calf tightness. Andrew Wiggins likely has sesamoiditis in his left big toe.

The Spurs will face a Heat team that will likely come into this matchup with some frustration, having lost four straight games, including a blowout loss to the Houston Rockets over the weekend.

San Antonio, meanwhile, sits at 53-18 on the most recent season, winners of five straight games and tied with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference standings.

Erik Spoelstra and company will likely look to deploy a physical defensive approach against Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, meaning the onus will be on the star’s teammates to thwart his open shots and attack the open lanes that will inevitably present themselves.

Tipoff between San Antonio and Miami is scheduled for 7:00 pm ET from South Beach.

Los Angeles Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks will face each other on Monday night. However, Kawhi Leonard is dealing with an ankle injury and is among the players listed on the injury report.

The Clippers are monitoring Leonard’s injury closely. Here’s everything we know about his status for tonight’s game vs. the Bucks.

Kawhi Leonard’s injury status vs. Bucks

According to the NBA injury report, Leonard is questionable to play Monday night due to a sprained left ankle.

The Clippers are 35-36 overall and in eighth place in the Western Conference standings. Meanwhile, the 29-41 Bucks are in 11th place in the Eastern Conference.

Monday’s game is expected to be competitive. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo is out for the Bucks due to injury. Leonard’s final injury status will certainly go a long way in determining the outcome of Monday’s game.

As far as the question of whether Kawhi Leonard is playing against the Bucks tonight, the answer is probably.

shear injury report

The Clippers have five players listed on Monday’s injury report.

• Kawhi Leonard (sprained left ankle): Questionable
• John Collins (left ankle sprain): Probable
• Bradley Beal (left hip fracture): Out
• Benedict Mathurin (recovering from right toe injury): Out

The New York Knicks are currently on a five-game winning streak and will next host the Washington Wizards, who have lost 15 consecutive games. The Knicks lead the season series 2-0 and come into this game with a 93-92 win against the Brooklyn Nets.

New York is currently 46-25, in third place in the Eastern Conference, while Washington is 16-54, having last won on Feb. 20. The Knicks are allowing just 110.3 points per game (5th in the NBA), while Washington is allowing 123.8 points per game (29th).

In terms of injuries, the Knicks will be without Miles McBride and Landry Shamet, while Josh Hart is listed on the official injury report with a knee issue along with Tyler Kolek and Ariel Huckporty, according to a post on X by Steve Popper. For Washington, Leaky Black is sidelined with a left ankle sprain, while Justin Champagnie is unavailable as he serves a league suspension. The injury list also includes Anthony Davis (left finger sprain), Keyshawn George (left elbow sprain), Trey Johnson (right foot sprain), and Alex Sarr (left big toe capsulitis).

Cam Whitmore is also out with a serious right shoulder condition related to deep vein thrombosis, while Trae Young is out with lower back soreness and a right quad injury. After all, D’Angelo Russell is no longer with the team.

Josh Hart’s injury status vs. Wizards

Josh Hart is listed as questionable, leaving some uncertainty regarding his availability. He is averaging 12.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. New York enters this game as the clear favorite, finishing in the top five in both offensive rating (3rd) and defensive rating (5th). The Knicks are averaging 116.8 points per game, good for 10th in the NBA, while only allowing 110.3 points per game, fifth-fewest in the league.

They have already defeated the Wizards twice this season by margins of 17 and 31 points, and will once again be the favorites at home. Even if Hart doesn’t play, he has enough firepower to dominate the injury-plagued Wizards at home.

Washington’s struggles are reflected on both ends of the floor. The team is 25th in the NBA in scoring, averaging 112.5 points per game, and 27th in offensive rating. Defensively, the Wizards allow 123.8 points per game, which ranks 29th in the league, and they have the worst defensive rating overall.

The Wizards are also coming off a 132-111 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder for the second straight night, a situation they have struggled with all season with a 1-11 record and losing 16 of their last 17 games.

The Cleveland Cavs will visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night. Donovan Mitchell is on the injury report along with Jarrett Allen, with one player listed as questionable and the other ruled out. Mitchell is nursing a left eye injury, while Allen is suffering from right knee tendinitis. Here’s everything we know about Donovan Mitchell’s injury and his playing status against the Pelicans.

Donovan Mitchell’s injury status vs. Pelicans

Given that Donovan Mitchell is listed as questionable on the Cavaliers’ injury report, it is difficult to predict whether he will play in Saturday’s contest against the Pelicans. Mitchell made NBA history with a hat-trick of career accomplishments in a single game. With the 20+ point performance he reached 15,000 career points, surpassing Mark Price for sixth most in franchise history, and scored his 200th 3-pointer of the regular season.

Still, Mitchell’s eye injury forced him to sit out Thursday’s 115-110 win against the Bulls. While the Cavs have won their last two games, they are 6-4 in their last 10 contests. With only 12 games remaining in the regular season, the Cavs (43-27) are one of the few teams that can overtake the Knicks for third place in the Eastern Conference.

The Knicks (46-25) hold a 2.5-game lead. The Cavs have distanced themselves from the fifth-seeded Raptors (39-30) in recent weeks, powering the Eastern Conference’s top-4 squads during the fourth quarter of the regular season.

Mitchell finished with 19 points, eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in his last outing against the Bucks. As for whether Donovan Mitchell is playing tonight against the Pelicans, the answer is probably.

Cavs injury report

Jarrett Allen – Out – Right knee; tendinitis

Donovan Mitchell – questionable – left eye; Indigo

Craig Porter Jr. – Outside – left groin; strain

Tyrese Proctor – Out – Right Quadricep

Jaylon Tyson – Questionable – Left toe; Sprain

The San Antonio Spurs face the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night and Stephen Cassel is at the center of the injury report. He is listed as questionable due to right hip tightness, putting the Spurs guard in focus as the team looks to extend its four-game winning streak.

The Spurs entered the matchup at 52–18, No. 2 in the Western Conference, its playoff position already secured. Meanwhile, the Pacers come in at 15-55, No. 15 in the East, trying to break a brutal losing streak as its season continues to slip. Here’s everything we know from the injury report about Stephen Cassel and his playing status against the Pacers.

Stephen Castle has been a consistent presence this season. He averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 7.1 assists in 59 games. He is shooting 46.5 percent from the field, 31.4 percent from three and 73.5 percent from the free-throw line.

Furthermore, Castle continues to control the tempo and create chances. He handles playmaking duties and keeps the offense organized. His presence provides balance and stability to the Spurs, especially as they push deeper into the postseason picture.

Stephen Cassel Injury Status vs Pacers

Spurs’ injury report makes Castle’s availability particularly important. Harrison Ingram, David Jones Garcia and Emmanuel Miller are out due to G League assignments. San Antonio still has depth, but Cassel’s play is key to keeping the momentum going.

On the other hand, the Pacers are struggling with heavy injury reports. Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) and Jonny Furphy (ACL) are out with Ivica Zubac (rib). Several players are listed as questionable, including Quenton Jackson, TJ McConnell, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith and Pascal Siakam.

The Spurs are looking to stay sharp. Pacers are looking for any pace. So when it comes to whether Stephen Cassel is playing tonight against the Pacers, the answer is uncertain. His status is questionable, and his availability will depend on pregame evaluation.

The Los Angeles Lakers face the Orlando Magic on Saturday night and Austin Reaves is once again at the center of the injury report. He is listed as questionable because of left hip soreness, making the Lakers guard the focus of attention as the team tries to extend its eight-game winning streak and solidify its playoff position.

The Lakers entered the matchup at 45–25, No. 3 in the Western Conference, and continued their strong push toward the postseason. Meanwhile, the Magic dropped to 38-31, No. 6 in the East, looking to snap a three-game losing streak and make the playoffs. Here’s everything we know from the injury report regarding Austin Reaves and his game status vs. the Magic.

Reeves has played a major role this season. In 44 games, he averaged 23.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists. He is shooting 49.4 percent from the field, 36.6 percent from three and 86.5 percent from the free-throw line.

Additionally, Reeves continues to produce offense at a high level. He handles playmaking duties and consistently generates scoring opportunities. His presence gives the Lakers balance and rhythm, especially with their stars.

austin reeves injury status vs magic

The Lakers’ injury report notes Reeves’ availability as particularly important. Maxi Kleber (back) is out, putting pressure on the rotation. Los Angeles needs Reaves’ scoring and playmaking to maintain their current pace.

On the other hand, Magic is struggling with several injuries. Anthony Black (abdomen) and Jonathan Isaac (knee) are out. Franz Wagner (ankle) is also sidelined, while Wendell Carter Jr. (rib) is questionable.

The Lakers are looking to continue moving forward. Trying to stop the magic slide. So when it comes to whether Austin Reeves is playing vs. the Magic tonight, the answer is uncertain. His status is questionable, and his availability will depend on pregame evaluation.

The Los Angeles Clippers face the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night and Kawhi Leonard is once again at the center of the injury report. He is listed as questionable with a sprained left ankle, putting the Clippers’ star in focus as the team tries to end a four-game losing streak and stay in the play-in race.

The Clippers entered the matchup at 34–36, No. 9 in the Western Conference, looking to regain momentum. Dallas, meanwhile, comes in at 23-47, No. 13 in the West, trying to snap a two-game losing streak. Here’s everything we know from the injury report about Kawhi Leonard and his game status vs. the Mavericks.

Kawhi Leonard has continued to be elite this season. He averaged 28.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 54 games. He is shooting 50.4 percent from the field and 38.3 percent from three, as well as 89.8 percent from the free-throw line.

Additionally, Leonard continues to dictate the game on both ends. He makes his shots with ease and holds the Clippers defensively. His presence sets the tone and provides structure to Los Angeles in high-pressure moments.

Kawhi Leonard’s injury status vs. Mavericks

The Clippers’ injury report makes Leonard’s situation particularly important. Bradley Beal (hip) is out with injuries, while Benedict Mathurin (toe) and Yannick Konan Niederhauser (foot) remain sidelined. Los Angeles can’t afford to lose another key piece as it struggles to stay in the play-in picture.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, are dealing with key absences. Kyrie Irving (knee) and Derek Lively II (foot) are out along with Brandon Williams (concussion). Several players are listed as questionable, including Caleb Martin (heel), Moussa Cisse, John Poulakidas and Tyler Smith.

The Clippers are looking for stability. The Mavericks are trying to stop the decline. So when it comes to whether Kawhi Leonard is playing tonight against the Mavericks, the answer is uncertain. His status is questionable, and his availability will depend on pregame evaluation.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (43-27) are struggling with only three weeks remaining in the regular season, two games behind the Los Angeles Lakers for third place in the West and one game behind the Denver Nuggets for sixth place. This group has advanced to the conference finals from both those positions, so seeding may not be necessary. Still, home-court advantage in the first round could be a welcome boost. But will the squad be healthy enough to accomplish this?

Anthony Edwards is dealing with knee inflammation and could miss a few weeks, leaving a larger offensive burden on the shoulders of Julius Randle. Minnesota is deep enough to handle the absence of its franchise cornerstone for a limited amount of time, but another key player is also dealing with injury. Nazi Reed missed Wednesday’s 147-111 win over the Utah Jazz with a right ankle sprain and could be out again in Friday’s home game against the Portland Trail Blazers (34-36).

The former Sixth Man of the Year (could also win the award this season) is averaging 13.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest, while shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from 3-point land. Already without Edwards, the Timberwolves’ offense will be stretched thin if Reed is stuck on the bench. Ergo, the 26-year-old forward’s status for the Blazers clash is of great interest to the fan base.

Naz Reid’s status for the Timberwolves-Blazers game

According to the NBA’s latest injury report, Reed is listed as questionable. If he is sidelined, Minnesota will likely rely on Randle, Jaden McDaniels and Donte DiVincenzo to provide adequate offense. Portland has certainly been able to take advantage of Wolves’ misfortune.

The Blazers are battling the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors for the eighth spot. Earning extra lives is obviously important in the NBA Play-In Tournament, so fans should expect this team to enter Goal Center with obvious intensity. However, Portland itself is shorthanded.

Shadon Sharp has been out since the beginning of February after suffering a stress reaction in his left fibula. The Trail Blazers can hold their own without an explosive guard, and the Timberwolves believe they can do the same without Anthony Edwards, at least in this game. However, an inactive Naz Reed could stand in the way of their victory.

Timberwolves fans are hoping they get some good news before the action tips off at 8 pm ET.

The Detroit Pistons host the Golden State Warriors on Friday, and All-Star big man Jalen Duren is listed as questionable on the injury report. Duren has been dealing with right ankle pain, although he has not missed any games recently. LJ Cryer is likely on the injury report for the Warriors as he deals with a hamstring injury. Here’s everything we know about Jalen Duren’s injury and his playing status against the Warriors.

Jalen Duren’s injury status vs. Warriors

Given that Jalen Duren is questionable on the Pistons’ injury report against the Warriors, he’s likely to be a game-time decision. The last time Duren missed a game due to injury was on February 6. The No. 13 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Duren is in the midst of his career season. He was selected for his first All-Star appearance.

Duran has appeared in 59 games this season, averaging a little over 27 minutes per game. He averaged career highs of 19.1 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists while splitting 64.1 percent shooting from the field and 72.8 percent shooting from the free-throw line.

So when it comes to the question of whether or not Jalen Duren is playing against the Warriors tonight, the answer is to wait and see as it gets closer to tip-off.

The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets are set to play on Friday night. Karl-Anthony Towns is listed on the injury report for the game. While Towns has faced injury concerns at times this season, he listed “personal reasons” on Friday’s injury report. So, is he playing tonight?

Everything we know about Karl-Anthony Towns’ situation ahead of the Knicks and Nets game on Friday night.

Karl-Anthony Towns’ status vs. Nets

According to the NBA injury report, Towns is currently listed as questionable to play against the Nets.

The Knicks will enter the game with a 45–25 record. They are in third place in the Eastern Conference standings. Meanwhile, the Nets are 17-52 and in 13th place in the East.

As far as the question of whether Karl-Anthony Towns is playing tonight against the Nets, the answer is probably.

The Washington Wizards face the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night and Trae Young is once again at the center of the injury report. He has been officially listed as out due to a right quad contusion, putting the Wizards’ key guard in focus as the team tries to break a brutal 13-game losing streak.

The Wizards enter the matchup at 16-52, No. 14 in the Eastern Conference, with their season essentially out of reach. Meanwhile, the Pistons are 49-19, ranked No. 3 in the West, looking to win consecutive games. Here’s everything we know from the injury report regarding Trae Young and his game status vs. the Pistons.

Even in limited action this season, Young has remained productive. In 15 games, he averaged 17.9 points, 8.0 assists and 2.0 rebounds. He’s also shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 82.5 percent from the free-throw line. Meanwhile, Young has continued to run the offense and create opportunities for his teammates. However, Washington is still struggling to find stability on both ends.

Without him, the Wizards lose a primary playmaker. They face even less margin for error. That challenge only increases against a surging Detroit team.

Trae Young’s injury status vs. Pistons

What makes Young’s absence particularly glaring is the Wizards’ injury report. Bilal Koulibaly (foot) and Alex Sarr (toe) are both questionable, while Anthony Davis, Keyshawn George and Cam Whitmore are all out. D’Angelo Russell is not with the team and Leaky Black is also out of the team.

On the other hand, the Pistons are also struggling with injuries. Cade Cunningham (back) and Isaiah Stewart (calf) are out, while several players are unavailable due to G League assignments. Still, Detroit has maintained strong momentum behind its depth and execution.

Washington is simply trying to stop the decline. Detroit wants to stay sharp and stack wins. So when the question comes whether Trae Young is playing against the Pistons tonight, the answer is no. He has been officially dismissed. His absence adds another challenge for a Wizards team searching for answers. The season is also ending.

The LA Clippers are in the midst of a three-game road trip, currently the second night of a back-to-back set on Thursday night in New Orleans and the fifth game in a tough five-on-seven stretch for the team.

Seven-time NBA All-Star Kawhi Leonard returned Wednesday night after a one-game absence and played against the Pelicans. Leonard was previously unable to participate in Monday night’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs due to a left ankle sprain suffered in Saturday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings.

Leonard left the Kings’ game in the fourth quarter and was later ruled out for the remainder of the game. Kawhi Leonard made a quick recovery in time to play on Wednesday night, but will the game be played again on Thursday night?

Here’s everything we know about Kawhi Leonard’s injury status for tonight’s game vs. the Pelicans.

Kawhi Leonard’s injury status vs. Pelicans

Kawhi Leonard was listed as “doubtful” to play in the Clippers’ first contest against the Pelicans, and was eventually upgraded to available. The Clippers’ injury report for Thursday night has Leonard once again listed as “questionable” for the game with a left ankle sprain. This is the second night of back-to-back sets after recovering from injury, so Leonard will be in high gear.

Just before the game, the LA Clippers announced that Leonard had been ruled out of the game. The franchise has historically had a cautious history with the two-time NBA Finals MVP, but Leonard has placed an emphasis on playing as many games as possible, especially when the team is fighting for playoff position.

Worth watching is that guard Darius Garland has been ruled out of Thursday night’s game with a left big toe injury. He has not played a consistent match since his return and there is no reason to believe he will do so any time soon this season.

Kawhi Leonard has a bad reputation among NBA fans due to his unfortunate injuries, but he has played in both halves of nine back-to-back sets during the 2025-26 regular season with the Clippers, demonstrating his ability to stay healthy and produce at a high level. In previous years, the Clippers have kept him out of back-to-back sets due to serious injuries, such as a torn ACL that ended his 2021 and 2022 postseasons, a torn meniscus that cut his 2023 postseason short, and knee inflammation that caused him to miss the 2024 postseason.

Leonard has been mostly healthy this season and has played in 54 of the Clippers’ 69 games so far. Leonard missed 10 of the 15 games due to a severe right ankle sprain he suffered in November. Despite suffering a left ankle injury against the Spurs, Leonard finished with his 45th straight game of 20+ points, surpassing Bob McAdoo and setting a new franchise record. Leonard scored 25 points with eight rebounds on 9-of-12 shooting from the field on Wednesday, extending his streak of 20+ point games to 46, the second-longest active streak behind Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

“Passing McAdoo is a huge accomplishment,” Tyronn Lue recently said of Kawhi Leonard. “He was a really good player, great player, and it says a lot about Kawhi. When he’s healthy, you know, what he’s done this year is crazy. Someone asked the other day, ‘Have you seen anybody do that in their 14th season, which is more than what they’ve averaged their entire career?’ And I said, ‘No, I’m not surprised.’ Because I see the work he does every day. I see what he does every night to get on the floor and try to play. He plays as healthy as he is. And it may take him a long time to do so.

This season, the Clippers are 30-24 in the 53 games that Kawhi Leonard has played and 4-11 in the 15 games he has not played. They’re also 0-3 in the three games Leonard has missed due to injury in the fourth quarter – against the Heat, Lakers and Kings.

Leonard is averaging 28.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.0 steals, while shooting 50.4 percent from the field, 38.3 percent from three and 89.8 percent from the free-throw line. 28.2 points are the highest in his career.

The Clippers posted a 34–35 record, turning their season around and going 28–14 since starting the season 6–21. However, they have lost three games in a row and could face a fourth straight loss when they take on the Pelicans without Leonard and Garland.

The Clippers have five players listed on the injury report for Wednesday’s game.

• Kawhi Leonard (left ankle sprain): Out
• Darius Garland (left toe injury management): out

The New Orleans Pelicans defeated the Clippers 124-109 in their last game on Wednesday night. Thursday’s game between the Clippers and Pelicans is the fourth and final meeting between the two teams this season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night in the second game of their road trip. Donovan Mitchell is listed as questionable on the injury report with an eye injury. Jarrett Allen is out for the Cavs as he deals with right knee tendinitis.

Here’s everything we know about the game situation for Donovan Mitchell vs. the Bulls.

Donovan Mitchell’s injury status vs. Bulls

When it comes to the question of whether Donovan Mitchell is playing tonight against the Bulls, the answer is probably. Mitchell’s name was not included on the injury report until the afternoon due to a left eye injury. There was plenty of bloodshed in the Cavs’ win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.

“I can’t really see out of my left eye tonight,” Mitchell said after a 19-point performance on 4-of-14 from the floor. Their focus was on making an impact with the ball and on the glass while Evan Mobley and James Harden continued to build their chemistry.

Cleveland will also be without Jarrett Allen for the seventh consecutive game, and based on the latest update we know he will be sidelined again on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Craig Porter Jr. is expected to be out at least a week with a left groin strain, while Tyrese Proctor has still not been cleared to play because of a right quadriceps strain.

No surprises on the Bulls’ injury sheet. Zach Collins, Jaden Ivey and Noah Esengue are out of action, while a pair of their two-way players are on assignment with the G League Windy City.

Cavs injury report

Donovan Mitchell: Suspect (injury in left eye)

Jarrett Allen: Out (tendinitis of the right knee)

The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Miami Heat for the second consecutive night on Thursday, and LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are all listed as questionable on the injury report. James is dealing with a foot problem, while Doncic has hip pain and Reeves has an arm problem. Here’s everything we know about the injuries to LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves and their playing status heading into the Lakers’ game against the Heat.

LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Austin Reeves status vs. Heat

Given that all three of LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are questionable on the Lakers’ injury report against the Heat, a concrete update won’t happen until it gets closer to the start of game time.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if all three players were ruled out against the Heat. At this time of the season, everyone is dealing with some kind of illness, and the Lakers have played it safe by resting key players during back-to-back stretches.

It’s only the third game of a six-game road trip, in which the Lakers will visit the Orlando Magic on Saturday, then make stops against the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers before returning home to end the month.

So when the question comes up about whether LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are playing against the Heat tonight, the answer is probably no.

lakers injury report

-Luka Doncic questionable (right hip soreness).
-LeBron James questionable (arthritis in left foot)
-Maxi Glue Out (Lumbar Back Strain)
-Austin Reeves questionable (injured right arm)

heat injury report

-Bam Adebayo available (right calf tightness)
-Vladislav Goldin out (G League two-way)
-Jaime Jaquez Jr. out (left hip tightness)
-Nikola Jovic available (lower back injury management)
-Trevor Keels out (G League two-way)
-Pelle Larsson available (left elbow injury)
-Terry Rozier out (not with team)
-Kel’l ware available (right shoulder stretch)
-Andrew Wiggins out (sesamoiditis of left big toe).
-Jahmir Young out (G League two-way)

The Utah Jazz face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night and Ace Bailey is once again at the center of the injury report. He is listed as questionable under the concussion protocol, putting the Jazz rookie in focus as Utah looks to snap a three-game losing streak.

Looking for momentum heading into the season finale, the Jazz enter the matchup at 20-48, No. 14 in the West. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves, 42-27, come in at No. 6 in the West, aiming to make it back-to-back wins and solidify their playoff position. Here’s everything we know from the injury report about Ace Bailey and his game status against the Timberwolves.

Ace Bailey has been a consistent contributor for the Jazz throughout the season. In 59 games, he averaged 12.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.7 minutes per game. He is shooting 44.5 percent from the field, 34.9 percent from three and 74.2 percent from the free-throw line. Even as a young unit, Bailey provides scoring balance and spacing on the wing. His ability to contribute on both ends provides Utah with additional structure, especially with several key players sidelined. When he’s available, the Jazz offense flows with more rhythm and flexibility.

Ace Bailey Injury Status vs. Timberwolves

The Jazz’s injury report makes Bailey’s availability even more important. Utah is already shorthanded. Lauri Markkanen (hip), Walker Kessler (shoulder), Jusuf Nurkic (nose), Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee), and Keyonte George (hamstring) are all out. John Conchar (calf) is questionable, while Blake Hinson is out on G League assignment.

Utah’s margin for error becomes smaller with each absence as the team tries to stop its skid and find stability late in the season. The Timberwolves, on the other hand, have not yet submitted their full injury report, but they have already confirmed that Anthony Edwards will miss 1-2 weeks, which will pose a challenge as Minnesota looks to build momentum with another win.

So when the question comes whether Ace Bailey is playing tonight against the Timberwolves, the answer is uncertain. His status will depend on pregame evaluation as the Jazz remain mindful of the need to compete.

The Brooklyn Nets will look to snap a four-game losing streak when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. Leading scorer Michael Porter Jr. could return to their lineup for the match after a three-game absence.

Porter is questionable to play against Oklahoma City after missing Brooklyn’s last three games due to an ankle sprain. Head coach Jordi Fernandez said the star forward participated in his first on-court workout on Monday.

Brooklyn has built its offense around Porter’s off-ball movement and elite shotmaking. Porter is averaging a career-high 24.2 points on .463/.363/.859 shooting splits in 52 appearances this season. In the games he missed, the Nets are 3-13.

He has struggled to do anything offensively during his latest absence.

Michael Porter Jr. upgraded to questionable vs. Thunder amid three-game absence

Brooklyn is averaging 96.3 points on 40.1 percent shooting over its last three games, which ranks last in the league in both categories. The rebuilding team has been without several other rotation pieces besides Porter in each loss.

With the Nets out of play-in contention, they have given extended minutes to two-way players Tyson Etienne, EJ Liddell, Chanie Johnson and 10-day signee Malachi Smith over the past week. Trade acquisitions Josh Minot and Ochai Agbaji have also played a heavy role.

Meanwhile, the Thunder have won twelve of their last 13 games as they look to lock down the NBA’s top seed for the second consecutive season. Oklahoma City will be on the second night of a back-to-back on Wednesday after defeating the Orlando Magic 113-108 on Tuesday at the Kia Center.

Ben Saraf (left foot soreness) is also doubtful for the Nets on Wednesday. Nolan Traore (right eye strain) and Terrence Mann (left eye strain) are probable.

The LA Clippers begin a three-game two-city road trip starting with the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night. This is the fourth game in a difficult five-seven stretch for the Clippers.

Seven-time NBA All-Star Kawhi Leonard was unable to play in Monday night’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs after suffering a left ankle sprain suffered in Saturday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings. Leonard left the game in the fourth quarter, went back to the locker, and was immediately ruled out for the remainder of the game. After the game, the Clippers announced that Leonard was suffering from a left ankle sprain and would be reevaluated before the upcoming three-game trip.

Here’s everything we know about Kawhi Leonard’s injury status for tonight’s game vs. the Pelicans.

Kawhi Leonard’s injury status vs. Pelicans

Kawhi Leonard was listed as “questionable” to play in the Clippers’ home contest against the Spurs, and was ultimately ruled out of the contest in the afternoon. Leonard is once again listed on the Clippers’ injury report for Wednesday, but he has already been upgraded to “questionable” against the Pelicans, the first night of back-to-back sets and the end of a five-game stretch.

If Leonard plays in Wednesday night’s game, it is highly unlikely that he will also play in Thursday night’s game against the Pelicans, given the franchise’s cautious history with the two-time NBA Finals MVP. Another factor to consider is that Darius Garland is also listed as “questionable” to play in Wednesday’s game. He has not played a consistent match since his return and there is no reason to believe he will do so any time soon this season.

Despite bad signs due to his unfortunate injuries, Kawhi Leonard has played in both halves of nine back-to-back sets during the 2025-26 regular season with the Clippers, demonstrating his ability to stay healthy and produce at a high level. In previous years, the Clippers have kept him out of back-to-back sets due to serious injuries, such as a torn ACL that ended his 2021 and 2022 postseasons, a torn meniscus that cut his 2023 postseason short, and knee inflammation that caused him to miss the 2024 postseason.

Leonard has been mostly healthy this season and has played in 53 of the Clippers’ 68 games so far. Of the 15 games Leonard missed, 10 were due to a severe right ankle sprain. Despite suffering a left ankle injury against the Spurs, Leonard finished with his 45th straight game of 20+ points, surpassing Bob McAdoo and setting a new franchise record. Leonard’s current streak is the second-longest active streak behind Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

“Passing McAdoo is a huge accomplishment,” Tyronn Lue recently said of Kawhi Leonard. “He was a really good player, great player, and it says a lot about Kawhi. When he’s healthy, you know, what he’s done this year is crazy. Someone asked the other day, ‘Have you seen anybody do that in their 14th season, which is more than what they’ve averaged their entire career?’ And I said, ‘No, I’m not surprised.’ Because I see the work he does every day. I see what he does every night to get on the floor and try to play. He plays as healthy as he is. And it may take him a long time to do so.

This season, the Clippers are 30-23 in the 53 games that Kawhi Leonard has played and 4-11 in the 15 games that he has not played. They’re also 0-3 in the three games Leonard has missed due to injury in the fourth quarter – against the Heat, Lakers and Kings.

Leonard is averaging 28.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.0 steals, while shooting 50.3 percent from the field, 38 percent from three and 90.6 percent from the free-throw line. 28.3 points are a career high.

So far, the Clippers have posted a 34–34 record, turning their season around to 28–13 since starting the season 6–21.

clippers injury report

The Clippers have five players listed on the injury report for Wednesday’s game.

• Kawhi Leonard (sprained left ankle): Questionable
• Darius Garland (left toe injury management): Questionable.
• Bradley Beal (left hip fracture): Out
• Yannick Konan Niederhauser (right Lisfranc ligament rupture): out
• Benedict Mathurin (recovering from right toe injury): Out

pelicans injury report

The Pelicans have five players listed on the injury report for Wednesday’s game.

• Trey Alexander (G League – Two Way): Out
• Hunter Dickerson (G League – Two Way): Out
• Bryce McGowens (fractured right little toe): out
• Dejounte Murray (illness): Out
• Josh Oduro (G League – Two Way): Out

The New Orleans Pelicans defeated the Dallas Mavericks 129-111 in their last game on Monday night. Wednesday night’s game represents the third of four matchups between the LA Clippers and New Orleans Pelicans.

The Sacramento Kings could be without Malik Monk again on Tuesday night as they host the San Antonio Spurs, with the veteran guard officially listed as questionable due to a right ankle sprain.

Sacramento (18-51) released their latest injury report on Tuesday morning ahead of the 7:00 pm PT matchup, confirming Monk’s status as uncertain after missing the team’s last three games. His availability remains an important storyline for a Kings roster already dealing with multiple absences.

The 28-year-old Monk last played in Sacramento’s 114-109 win over the Indiana Pacers on March 10. He logged just 11 minutes before being sidelined with an ankle injury and finished with four points on 2-for-4 shooting. Since then, the Kings have gone 2-1, including consecutive wins over the Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz over the weekend.

Despite the recent wins, Monk’s absence has limited Sacramento’s depth in the backcourt. He is averaging 12.6 points, 2.7 assists and 1.7 rebounds per game this season, his lowest scoring output since joining the Kings in the 2022-23 campaign. He is shooting 43.7% from the field, 39.6% from beyond the arc and 87.8% from the free-throw line in 53 appearances, while averaging 22 minutes per contest.

Kings shorthanded vs. Spurs as Malik Monk’s status uncertain

The Kings’ injury report remains extensive beyond Monk. Devin Carter (right calf injury), Drew Eubanks (left thumb UCL tear), De’Andre Hunter (left eye retinal repair), Zach LaVine (right fifth finger tendon repair), Keegan Murray (left ankle sprain) and Domantas Sabonis (left knee meniscus repair) have been ruled out.

San Antonio (50-18) enters the matchup as one of the top teams in the Western Conference, presenting a tough challenge for a short-handed Sacramento team. Spurs have maintained strong form throughout the season and will look to take advantage of the Kings’ poor rotation.

Monk’s final status is expected to be determined closer to tipoff as Sacramento evaluates his recovery from an ankle sprain.

The Philadelphia 76ers face Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night, and Joel Embiid is once again at the center of the injury report. The 76ers have listed Embiid as out with a right oblique strain, making Philadelphia the franchise star the focus of attention as the team looks to extend a two-game winning streak.

The 76ers enter the matchup at 37-31, No. 9 in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are 41-27, in 5th place in the Western Conference and looking to bounce back from a recent loss against the Los Angeles Lakers. With both teams pushing for momentum, Embiid’s absence looms large.

Embiid remains the 76ers’ anchor when available. In 33 games, he is averaging 26.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists, while shooting 49.5 percent from the field, 31.8 percent from three and 85.8 percent from the line. He also adds 1.1 blocks and 0.6 steals per game.

When Embiid plays, the 76ers operate with far more structure and interior dominance. His ability to command double teams and control the paint shapes Philadelphia’s entire offensive system.

joel embiid injury status vs nuggets

The 76ers’ injury report includes several additional names. Jonny Broom is out as his right knee recovers from surgery. Paul George is out due to league suspension. Tyrese Maxey is out with a strained right tendon, while Kelly Oubre Jr. is out with a left elbow sprain. Dellen Terry is listed as questionable due to a left shoulder problem.

As for Denver, the Nuggets have several players listed out on the injury report. Those names include Jabari Walker, Darron Holmes II, Curtis Jones and KJ Simpson on G League assignment. Peyton Watson is also out with a right hamstring strain.

Still, Embiid’s absence remains the biggest story in this matchup. The 76ers will try to maintain their momentum even without their star. The Nuggets, meanwhile, aim to respond after the loss.

So when it comes to the question of whether Joel Embiid is playing tonight against the Nuggets, the answer is no. Their rightward bias will keep them on the sidelines. As a result, Philadelphia will need to adjust in an important inter-conference matchup.

The Minnesota Timberwolves face the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night and Anthony Edwards is once again at the center of the injury report. The Timberwolves have ruled out Edwards because of right knee soreness, putting the focus on Minnesota’s franchise star as the team looks to bounce back from a recent loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Minnesota enters the matchup at 41-27, No. 6 in the Western Conference. The Suns, meanwhile, are 39-29, in 7th place in the West and looking to end a two-game losing streak. With both teams battling for a playoff position, Edwards’ absence could significantly impact the outcome.

Edwards has been the focal point of Minnesota’s offense this season. Through 58 games, he is averaging 29.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting 49.2 percent from the field. He is also converting an efficient 40.2 percent from three-point range and 79.6 percent from the free-throw line. Additionally, the All-Star guard contributed 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, showcasing his two-way impact.

When Edwards is on the floor, the Timberwolves operate with far more offensive firepower. His ability to create shots from all three levels and take over possession late in the game makes him one of the most dynamic scorers in the league.

Anthony Edwards injury status vs. Suns

The Timberwolves’ injury report includes several additional names. Additionally, Jon Beringer, Enrique Freeman, Julian Phillips and Zion Pullin are out on G League assignment. Meanwhile, Naz Reed is listed as questionable with a right shoulder injury.

As far as Phoenix is ​​concerned, the Suns have not yet submitted their official injury report.

Still, Edwards’ absence remains the biggest story in this matchup. Minnesota will try to regroup without its leading scorer. Additionally, Phoenix will look to take advantage and break their losing streak.

So, when the question comes whether Anthony Edwards is playing tonight against the Suns, the answer is no. Pain in his right knee will sideline him. As a result, the Timberwolves will need to adjust. This remains an important Western Conference matchup.

The Portland Trail Blazers will look to bounce back against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday after Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. They may be without backup center Robert Williams during the second night of a back-to-back.

Williams is questionable for the game with Brooklyn because of a left knee injury. The veteran center has been nursing his left knee since undergoing surgery last March and has missed the start of this season.

However, Williams has played his best basketball of the season recently. The 28-year-old has averaged 10.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks on 66.7 percent shooting in 21.1 minutes per game over his last seven appearances.

He posted six points, 12 rebounds and three blocks on 3-of-5 shooting in 20 minutes during Sunday’s 109-103 loss to the 76ers.

Robert Williams questionable for Nets matchup as Trail Blazers fight for play-in position

Williams’ presence on Monday will give the Trail Blazers a significant advantage against a Nets team with only one available center. Nick Claxton is available for Brooklyn after missing Saturday’s loss at Philadelphia due to rest. However, Deron Sharp has been ruled out for the season, leaving the team without a traditional center on the second unit.

The Trail Blazers are fighting for a spot in the Western Conference play-in race. They are 10th at 3-5, half a game behind the ninth-place Golden State Warriors.

Meanwhile, the Nets have lost three in a row while moving to a more aggressive tank after back-to-back wins over the Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies. Brooklyn will be without Michael Porter Jr. (right ankle sprain), Noah Clowney (rest), Terrence Mann (left Achilles soreness), Igor Demin (left plantar fascia injury management) and Sharp (left thumb UCL tear) on Monday.

The Houston Rockets face the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night and Alpern Sengun is once again at the center of the injury report. The Rockets have listed Sengun as questionable due to lower back soreness, putting Houston’s All-Star center in focus as the team looks to win back-to-back games.

The Rockets enter the matchup at 41-25, which is good for No. 4 in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Lakers sit at 42-25, ranked No. 3 in the West, and are aiming to extend a five-game winning streak. With both teams firmly in the playoff race, Seungun’s availability could play a major role in shaping the outcome of the matchup.

Sengun has been a cornerstone of Houston’s offense this season. Through 58 games, he is averaging 20.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists while shooting 50.3 percent from the field. He also contributed 1.1 blocks and 1.2 steals per game, highlighting his impact on both ends of the floor. His ability to facilitate attacks from the post while scoring efficiently has made him one of the most versatile center backs in the league.

When the Sengun is available, the Rockets operate aggressively with more rhythm. His game internally allows Houston to run through multiple options on offense while keeping the defense guessing.

alperen sengun injury status vs lakers

Several other names are included on the Rockets’ injury report. Steven Adams is out after surgery on his left ankle. Fred VanVleet is also out after a right knee ACL repair. Ja’Sean Tate is out with a right knee sprain, while JD Davison is out on two-way assignment.

For the Lakers, the injury report lists Maxi Kleber out with a back strain.

Still, Seungun’s status remains the biggest story in this matchup. Houston hopes to maintain its momentum near the top of the Western Conference standings. Meanwhile, the Lakers will look to extend their winning streak and strengthen their playoff position.

So when the question comes whether Alperen Sengun is playing against the Lakers tonight, the answer is uncertain. His final status will depend on pregame evaluation as Houston looks for another win.

The LA Clippers are set to host the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, the third game of a tough five-on-seven stretch for the Clippers.

Seven-time NBA All-Star and two-time NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard played in Saturday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings, but left the game in the fourth quarter due to a left ankle injury. After the game, the Clippers announced that Leonard was suffering from a left ankle sprain, and would be reevaluated.

Everything we know about Kawhi Leonard’s injury status for tonight’s game vs. the Spurs.

Kawhi Leonard’s injury status vs. Spurs

Kawhi Leonard was unlisted on the Clippers’ injury report for Saturday night’s game against the Kings, the second game of a back-to-back set. Leonard had been playing in consistent sets this season when healthy, but sprained his left ankle for the second time after the NBA All-Star break.

Leonard is listed as “questionable” to play in Monday night’s game against the San Antonio Spurs, and it appears he will be held out of the game. The LA Clippers are expected to make it official around 6pm PST, after Leonard has finished his usual pre-game workout routine and is evaluated by the medical staff.

Kawhi Leonard has played nine consecutive sets with the Clippers this season, indicating that he is healthy enough to play. In years past, the Clippers have kept him out of most back-to-back sets, but that was largely due to his injuries, such as a torn ACL, torn meniscus and knee inflammation, which caused him to miss the 2024 postseason.

Leonard has been mostly healthy this season, playing 53 of the Clippers’ 67 games so far, 10 of which were missed due to a severe right ankle sprain. Despite the injury on Saturday, Leonard surpassed Bob McAdoo with his 45th-straight games of 20+ points, setting a new franchise record. Leonard’s current streak is the second-longest active streak behind Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

“Passing McAdoo is a huge accomplishment,” Tyronn Lue recently said of Kawhi Leonard. “He was a really good player, great player, and it says a lot about Kawhi. When he’s healthy, you know, what he’s done this year is crazy. Someone asked the other day, ‘Have you seen someone do that in their 14th season, which is more than what they’ve averaged their entire career?’ And I said, ‘No, I’m not surprised.’ Because I see the work he does every day. I see what he does every night to get on the floor and try to play. He plays as healthy as he is. And it may take him a long time to do so.

This season, the Clippers are 30-23 in the 53 games Kawhi Leonard has played and 4-10 in the 14 games he has not played. Leonard is averaging 28.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.0 steals, while shooting 50.3 percent from the field, 38 percent from three and 90.6 percent from the free throw line.

So far, the Clippers have posted a 34–33 record, turning their season around to 28–12 since starting the season 6–21.

When it comes to the question of whether Kawhi Leonard is playing tonight against the Kings, the answer is probably no.

The Dallas Mavericks travel to face the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road on Sunday, and veteran guard Klay Thompson is listed as questionable on the team’s injury report. Thompson hasn’t been playing in back-to-back games recently, and the Mavericks game against the Cavs is the first of a back-to-back set. Here’s everything we know about Klay Thompson’s injury and his playing status against the Cavs.

Klay Thompson’s injury status vs. Cavs

Given that Thompson is questionable on the injury report for the Mavericks against the Cavs, the assumption is that he will not suit up on Sunday. He is listed with the ‘rest’ designation, which suggests the Mavericks would like to have him available for the second end of the team’s back-to-back against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday.

Thompson is in his 13th full season in the NBA. He has made a remarkable comeback after missing two consecutive seasons from 2019-2021. He has appeared in 59 games this season, including eight starts, averaging just over 21 minutes per game.

Thompson averaged a career-low 11.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists while splitting 39.2 percent shooting from the field, 38 percent shooting from the 3-point line and 75 percent shooting from the free-throw line.

So when the question comes whether Klay Thompson is playing today, the answer is probably no.

The LA Clippers are set to host the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night, the second game of a tough five-on-seven stretch for the Clippers.

Two-time NBA All-Star Darius Garland was on the Clippers’ injury report for Friday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls and did not play with what the team called “left toe injury management.” The Clippers are taking several precautions to ensure that Garland does not suffer any effects from surgery on his left toe in the offseason, as well as a sprain on his right toe earlier this season.

Everything we know about Darius Garland’s injury status for tonight’s game vs. the Kings.

Darius Garland’s injury status vs. Kings

Darius Garland was listed out for Friday night’s game against the Chicago Bulls, but is expected to be upgraded to “available” to play in Saturday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings. The LA Clippers are expected to make it official around 1pm PST when the official injury report is released.

Darius Garland hasn’t played in any back-to-backs since the Clippers acquired him in the trade deadline week deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers for James Harden. The Clippers guard has had his minutes limited in his return to action following a toe injury, but hopes to continue playing his way through it.

Darius Garland told ClutchPoints, “I’m just trying to stick with it. My teammates are picking me up, the coaches are telling me to stick with it. I’m just trying to get my rhythm back, get used to playing with everybody, get used to the system. I mean it’s been good, it’s been seamless. I’ve had issues with the minutes restriction, but it’s all good. I’m just talking about the medical staff and the coaches. Trying to listen and just go out there and play with a chip on my shoulder and work as hard as I can when I have those minutes.”

The Clippers are undefeated in the five games Garland has played so far, with the guard averaging 17.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game, while shooting 47.1 percent from the field and 45.9 percent from three.

So far, the Clippers have posted a 34–32 record, turning their season around to 28–11 since starting the season 6–21.

When it comes to the question of whether Darius Garland is playing tonight against the Kings, the answer is yes.

Derrick White is listed as probable for Saturday night’s matchup as the Boston Celtics prepare to face the Washington Wizards.

Boston released their latest injury report ahead of Saturday’s 6:00 p.m. ET tipoff, listing White as probable with a right knee injury. The update comes as the Celtics look to snap a two-game losing streak and regain momentum heading into the final stretch of the regular season after a 104-102 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night.

White last appeared in Boston’s 125-116 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, delivering one of his strongest performances of the season. The veteran guard recorded 34 points, seven assists, five rebounds and one block while shooting 11 of 22 from the field. He also converted 9 of 11 free throws and completed 3 of 11 from three-point range in 40 minutes.

The 31-year-old has played a major role in Boston’s backcourt all season long. In 63 appearances, White averaged a career-high 17.5 points, as well as 5.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game. He is also posting a career-best 1.2 steals per contest while logging 34.3 minutes per game.

While his shooting numbers are 39.4% from the field and 32.7% from three-point range, White continues to be a valuable two-way contributor for the Celtics team, which currently holds a 43-23 record.

Celtics injury report reveals Derrick White’s status ahead of Wizards matchup

Boston’s injury report includes White as well as several additional players:

• Baylor Scheierman – potential (sprained right ankle)
• John Tonje – Suspicious (G League Two-Way)
• Nikola Vucevic – Outside (right ring finger fracture)
• Derrick White – potential (injury in right knee)

The Celtics enter Saturday’s contest with the goal of stabilizing after recent losses by maintaining their position near the top of the Eastern Conference standings.

Meanwhile, Washington comes in with a 16-49 record as the Wizards head into a rebuilding season. The matchup provides Boston an opportunity to gain momentum against a team near the bottom of the conference standings.

Saturday’s game also marks the beginning of a three-game homestand for the Celtics. Following its contest against Washington, Boston will host the Phoenix Suns on Monday night.

Tipoff between the Celtics and Wizards is scheduled for 6:00 pm ET, with the game airing on MNMT and NBA TV.

The Denver Nuggets visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night. Jamal Murray is on the injury report along with Aaron Gordon, with both players listed as probable. Murray is nursing a left ankle injury, while Gordon is nursing a right hamstring injury. The Nuggets defeated the San Antonio Spurs 136–131 after erasing a 20-point deficit. Here’s everything we know about Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon’s injuries and their status for the Lakers game.

Jamal Murray’s injury status vs. Lakers

Given that Jamal Murray is on the injury report as probable, he will likely be in uniform for Saturday’s game against the Lakers. Murray has been on the injury report these days, but continues to play at a high level as the All-Star guard’s 39 points led six Nuggets in double figures, including Nikola Jokic (31 points). He recorded another triple-double (20 rebounds, 12 assists) with three steals and two blocks.

Murray’s production has increased across the board, averaging 28.6 points on 49.6% shooting, including 46.7% through seven games. This is arguably his best offensive performance of the regular season. Meanwhile, Aaron Gordon has only played three games this month as the Nuggets are getting off to an easy start getting back into the crease.

Gordon’s knee forced him to play only 26 games this season as he continues to heal from a season-ending right hamstring injury, leading the Nuggets to what they hope will be a deep playoff run. Gordon missed Game 7 of the Nuggets’ Western Conference Semifinal matchup against the Thunder. After missing Thursday’s game against Spurs, he should be cleared to play in Saturday’s match.

With Thursday’s comeback win against the Spurs, the Nuggets improved to 41-26, the fifth-best record in the Western Conference standings, just a half-game behind the Lakers.

A win against the Lakers would move the Nuggets to fourth place. As far as the question of whether Jamal Murray is playing against the Lakers tonight, the answer is probably yes.

Aaron Gordon – probable – right hamstring; injury management

Jamal Murray – Probable – Left Ankle; Sprain

Isaac Okoro and Collin Sexton’s injury status vs. Clippers

Given that Isaac Okoro and Collin Sexton are listed as questionable, it is assumed that they will not play. Both have been on the injury list this season. Sexton, while with the Charlotte Hornets, missed eight games due to quad/thigh and hamstring injuries. He suffered a neck injury in November.

Sexton was absent against the Golden State Warriors and Lakers.

Okoro has missed several games due to neck, back/neck and knee injuries. He missed the Lakers’ game on Thursday.

Overall, Sexton is averaging 14.6 points per game. Okoro, meanwhile, is averaging 9.0 points per game. Additionally, the Bulls are 27-39 and have lost seven of their last 10 games.

The Miami Heat host the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night at the Kasia Center in Miami. The Heat come into this game coming off of six consecutive wins, the latest being a huge 150-129 win that included a spectacular 83-point performance from Bam Adebayo.

Herro missed the last game due to a left quadriceps injury and once again found himself on the official injury report. However, Herro is hardly the only player the Heat will likely miss.

Rookie big man Kel’El Ware is questionable with a right shoulder strain, Nikola Jovic (lower back injury management), Norman Powell (right groin strain) and Andrew Wiggins (left toe sesamoiditis) are out with injuries. Terry Rozier is away from the team while Pelle Larsson is available despite left hip tightness.

For the Bucks, Kevin Porter Jr. is listed as questionable due to right knee synovitis, while Bobby Portis is also questionable due to a thoracic spine injury in his back. Center Jericho Sims is tagged questionable with right patella tendonitis, while Alex Antetokounmpo and Cormac Ryan are both out during G League two-way assignments.

*Watch NBA Games Live with fuboTV (Free Trial)*

Tyler Herro’s injury status vs. Bucks

Herro’s availability after missing the last game as a precaution will be a game time decision. Herro has suffered several injury-related absences this season, but has been a vital offensive engine for Miami when available.

He averaged 22.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, while shooting an impressive 50.0% from the field and 40.2% from three-point range. However, injuries have limited Herro to just 20 games this season, and fans will be hoping that doesn’t prove to be the case.

Nonetheless, Miami comes into this game as a clear favorite. The Bucks currently rank 25th in the NBA in defensive rating, while also being near the bottom in the league in defending the three-point line.

Milwaukee allows the 29th most three-pointers made per game and ranks 28th in opponent three-point percentage, and Herro could have a field day if he ends up playing. The Bucks arrive in Miami coming off a 129-114 loss to the Phoenix Suns earlier this week. They are currently 27-37 for the season and will look to Giannis Antetokounmpo to set the pace once again.

On Thursday evening, the Boston Celtics will take on the reigning NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder in a tough matchup. Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Peyton Pritchard are suffering from various illnesses. Here’s everything we know about the injury status of Boston’s three most important players.

Watch NBA games live with fuboTV (Get access save $30)*

Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, Peyton Pritchard’s playing status vs. OKC

Jayson Tatum is currently listed as questionable on the injury report for the Thunder matchup due to ongoing Achilles injury management. Tatum has played in three games since returning from the Achilles tear he suffered in last year’s playoffs, and so far has performed about as well as fans have expected. Some have theorized that Boston may have kept him out of Thunder games to avoid playing against Lou Dort, who has gained a reputation for injuring opposing star players.

Peyton Pritchard is listed as probable for Boston due to neck spasms after missing his last game against the San Antonio Spurs, while Derrick White is considered questionable with a right knee injury.

Meanwhile, for the Thunder, Isaiah Hartenstein will be out of the lineup with a left calf injury, with Jalen Williams also out with a strained right hamstring.

The Celtics are currently ranked number two in the Eastern Conference, and have been playing well since Tatum’s return last week. In their last game against the Spurs, Boston saw star Jaylen Brown controversially ejected in the first half, and despite ultimately putting up a valiant effort, they ran out of gas during the game.

They will need all the help they can get against defending champions Thunder, who are back in form after a brief spell of trouble earlier this season.

Tipoff is scheduled for 9:30 pm ET.

The Atlanta Hawks are currently on a seven-game winning streak, and they are planning to make it eight when they face off against the Brooklyn Nets. It was the win against the Nets that started their streak, and hopefully they can continue it as they try to climb the Eastern Conference standings.

Jonathan Kuminga was able to contribute to wins in some games, but he missed the last three games due to injury. The injury report initially listed him with left knee soreness, but the Hawks recently changed it to a left knee bone bruise, which sidelined him when he was traded.

Here is Kuminga’s position before the game.

*Watch NBA Games Live with fuboTV (Free Trial)*

Jonathan Kuminga’s injury status vs. Nets

Kuminga is listed as questionable against the Nets, meaning he is likely to play. Additionally, he has been listed as questionable for the last three matches and has been subbed out an hour and a half before each game. It is uncertain how serious the injury is, but it is something that has been bothering him for some time and is affecting his ability to step on the court.

The Hawks were able to see what Kuminga can do when he’s on the field, and he showed a little bit of everything in the three games he played. There is no doubt that Kuminga can be a big contributor for the team, especially during this time of the season, and they are hoping he returns soon.

It would also be nice to see more from him on the front office side of the Hawks so they can determine if they want to accept his option when the season ends so he can come back next year.

The Toronto Raptors released their latest injury report on Tuesday afternoon ahead of their road matchup against the Houston Rockets, providing an update on veteran center Jakob Poeltl.

Toronto (36-27) begins a brief road trip with tipoff scheduled for 8:00 pm ET on Tuesday night in Houston. According to the team’s injury report, Poeltl is listed as questionable due to an illness, making his status uncertain for the matchup against the Rockets (39-24).

Poeltl most recently played in the Raptors’ impressive 122-92 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. The 30-year-old delivered one of his strongest performances of the season, finishing with 16 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal. He shot an efficient 8 of 9 from the field while logging 30 minutes.

The performance continued a productive stretch for the Austrian centre, who has served as a dominant interior presence for Toronto on both ends of the floor. In his 10th NBA season, Poeltl is averaging 9.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, while shooting a career-high 70.1 percent from the field.

Through 29 appearances, including 27 starts, Poeltl has averaged 25.4 minutes per contest this season and has played a key role in the Raptors’ defensive detection and rebounding efforts. His ability to protect the rim and facilitate offense from the high post has made him a central figure in Toronto’s frontcourt rotation.

Jakob Poeltl’s injury remains in serious condition as Raptors face Rockets

Toronto enters Tuesday’s contest looking to maintain momentum as it continues its push up the Eastern Conference standings. The Raptors have relied on balanced scoring and interior defense during their recent run, and Poeltl’s availability could impact how the team approaches a matchup against a Rockets team that has been one of the most consistent teams in the Western Conference this season.

Houston, which is currently 39-24, has built its success on strong defensive play and efficient scoring in the frontcourt. The Rockets’ size and physicality inside make Poeltl’s potential presence especially important to Toronto’s interior defense and rebounding.

Following Tuesday’s game, the Raptors will conclude their two-game road trip on Wednesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans (21-45). Toronto will then return home to host the Phoenix Suns (37-27) on Friday.

Poeltl’s final status for the Rockets matchup is expected to be determined closer to tipoff as the Raptors evaluate his status throughout the day.

The Phoenix Suns traveled to Fiserv Forum on Tuesday night to face the Milwaukee Bucks, who have won four of their last five games. This is despite the continued absence of both Grayson Allen and Dillon Brooks, with Phoenix relying on players like Devin Booker and Colin Gillespie to perform offensively in recent games.

Despite this, Allen sat out the Suns’ most recent game against Charlotte and once again found himself on the official injury list due to a right knee injury. He is listed as questionable along with Mark Williams and Brooks, who are both listed out.

The Bucks are a little better health-wise and are dealing with several absences, including Kevin Porter Jr.

Grayson Allen’s injury status vs. Bucks

Allen’s availability will be a game-time decision. The 30-year-old player has been a major contributor for the Suns this year, averaging 17.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. This makes him the third-highest scorer on the roster for Phoenix.

Early in the year, Allen exploded for a career-high 42 points and set a Suns franchise record with 10 three-pointers in a single game. He also became the fastest player in team history to make 100 threes in a season, doing so in just 31 games.

The Suns are currently 37-27 and 4-1 in their last five. They’re up against a team that has lost five of its last six and currently sits at 27-36. They suffered a brutal 130-91 loss against the Orlando Magic in their last game and need a quick turnaround in fortunes.

Phoenix is ​​averaging 112.1 points per game, while Milwaukee is averaging 111.1 points per game. The Suns have a slight rebounding edge at 43.4 rebounds per game compared to the Bucks’ 41.2. Regardless, with the Suns’ recent momentum and home advantage, Phoenix enters this game as the favorite.
