  • OG Anunoby SF | NY

    Knicks' OG Anunoby: Well-rounded performance in victory

    Anunoby ended with 24 points (8-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block across 40 minutes during Saturday's 132-120 victory over the Magic.

    Anunoby made his fourth appearance following a nine-game absence due to a left hamstring strain, delivering his best game since the extended absence. The 28-year-old forward logged a season-high 40 minutes and finished as New York's third-leading scorer behind Jalen Brunson (40) and Karl-Anthony Towns (29). Anunoby also tied the team-high mark in steals and has recorded multiple swipes in three consecutive contests. He has scored 20-plus points in two of those three outings.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Drops 29 points in win

    Towns finished with 29 points (9-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 132-120 win over the Magic.

    After shooting just 4-for-11 from the field in Tuesday's win over Toronto, Towns bounced back with an extremely efficient performance against Orlando. The star big man totaled 32 points in his previous two outings, though he dropped at least 29 points for the third time in five appearances during December on Saturday. He has averaged 25.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals across 32.4 minutes per tilt this month.

  • Moe Wagner C | ORL

    Magic's Moritz Wagner: To miss at least four more games

    Head coach Jamahl Mosley said Saturday that Wagner (knee) won't be available during Orlando's upcoming four-game road trip, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

    Wagner has yet to make his season debut after undergoing surgery in January to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. The big man's next opportunity to play will come against the Hornets on Friday, Dec. 26.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Questionable to face Golden State

    Williams (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

    Williams is under the weather and may miss his third consecutive contest. With Donovan Clingan (lower leg) and Yang Hansen (face) also listed as questionable, the Trail Blazers could be thin in the frontcourt against Golden State.

  • Yang Hansen C | POR

    Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Iffy for Sunday

    Hansen (face) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

    Hansen is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to a facial contusion. However, if the rookie is cleared to play, he could see increased minutes if Donovan Clingan (lower leg) is downgraded from questionable to out.

  • Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Remains out indefinitely

    Thybulle (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Golden State.

    Thybulle underwent surgery in late October to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb and is without a timetable for a return. He can be considered week-to-week until the Trail Blazers offer an update on his recovery.

  • Jrue Holiday PG | POR

    Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Ruled out for Sunday

    Holiday (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

    Holiday hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a right calf strain and will remain sidelined Sunday. The veteran point guard is without a timetable for a return and should be considered doubtful for Thursday's game against the Kings until Portland provides an update on his status.

  • Cason Wallace PG | OKC

    Thunder's Cason Wallace: Not starting vs. San Antonio

    Wallace won't start against the Spurs on Saturday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

    With the Thunder's starting five at full strength for the first time this season, Wallace will slide to the second unit against San Antonio. Over his last five outings, the 22-year-old guard has averaged 6.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.6 steals and 2.4 assists in 23.2 minutes per contest.

  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Spurs' Luke Kornet: Remains in starting lineup Saturday

    Kornet will start against the Thunder on Saturday.

    Although Victor Wembanyama is available to play following a 12-game absence due to a strained left calf, Kornet will get the starting nod at center. The big man has started in each of his last 11 appearances, averaging 6.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 blocks in 27.2 minutes per contest during that span. Still, it wouldn't be surprising if he saw a dip in playing time with Wembanyama available.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Not starting Saturday

    Wembanyama (calf) won't start against the Thunder on Saturday.

    Following a 12-game absence due to a left calf strain, Wembanyama will be deployed off the bench for the first time in his NBA career. The star big man is expected to face restrictions in his return from the extended absence, meaning Luke Kornet will remain in the starting five. Wembanyama has appeared in 12 regular-season games thus far, during which he has averaged 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 3.6 blocks and 1.1 steals in 34.7 minutes per contest.
