Cade Horton has exited today's game... After seeing the way he looked as he left the dugout, head down, near tears in his eyes, I can't imagine that's the case here.

Newcastle United defender Sven Botman has undergone successful surgery on a facial fracture. Following concussion protocol, the Dutchman was substituted after suffering the injury during the second half of Sunday's game against Sunderland at St. James' Park.

Bilodeau was ruled out for the Bruins' Big Ten tournament semifinal against Purdue -- and likely for a possible conference title game -- but the injury update was positive for a Bruins team listed as a No. 7 seed in ESPN's Joe Lunardi's latest bracket projection.

Mazraoui picked up a knock late on and tried to continue before eventually being replaced by Tyrell Malacia. There is yet to be an update on the 28-year-old regarding the severity of the injury, though he could be a doubt for Man United's next fixture against Aston Villa a week on Sunday.

Alejandro Balde presents an injury to the distal biceps femoris of the left thigh. Tests determine that the recovery process will take approximately 4 weeks. It means that the left-back will miss the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie against Newcastle United this month, in addition to La Liga fixtures against Athletic Club, Sevilla, and Rayo Vallecano.

Pavlovic received a nasty knock against Como and Milan initially feared a broken fibula. Thankfully, it was just a case of heavy bleeding, which has significantly reduced the recovery time. In fact, as Allegri confirmed during his presser earlier today, he's already available. Granted that the centre-back is still struggling with some pain and discomfort, he will be on the bench tomorrow.

Washington has assembled one of the best young cores in the entire league, but after years of looking for another star to build around since the departures of John Wall and Bradley Beal, it became evident the team could look to make a splash if the right opportunity presented itself. Prior to the NBA trade deadline, it appeared that not only one perfect opportunity presented itself, but two.

Practiced (Tuesday) with the team. Looking good. He's feeling good. We won't make a determination until after (Wednesday), when we practice (Wednesday) afternoon. We'll get up and down the floor and scrimmage.

Seth Curry, the younger brother of Warriors superstar Steph, still has a ways to go before he returns to the Golden State rotation. Seth Curry has missed the past 24 games with sciatica, and the Warriors announced on Wednesday that he will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The re-evaluation indicated that Curry continues to make good progress, the press release read. He will begin to intensify his on-court workouts this week, including live play.

Arsenal's medical woes took center stage during their latest outing as concerns grow over the fitness of key defensive pillars. While the Gunners have maintained an impressive run of form, the physical toll of a relentless schedule is beginning to manifest in the dugout, leaving Mikel Arteta with significant tactical headaches ahead of a grueling run of fixtures.

Oklahoma City Thunder star forward Jalen Williams will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break after straining his right hamstring for the second time in less than four weeks, a team spokesperson told ESPN on Thursday. Williams was ruled out of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, a night after aggravating the injury that he originally suffered on Jan. 17. Williams missed 10 games before returning for Monday's road win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

William Nylander was injured leading up to the Olympic Games, but returned for the Maple Leafs final three games before travelling to Milan. Head Coach Sam Hallam spoke about Nylander's absence, mentioning, "It's a maintenance thing." "He's done two full ice practices with us and felt after yesterday a bit sore after yesterday, so just give him an extra day. And then we'll see for tomorrow if he's ready to go. It's going to be a pretty late decision."

Reece is fit. A small issue, but he's feeling unwell today, the Chelsea boss told journalists on Monday. It's not a conspiracy, it's true. Hopefully he'll be well enough to play tomorrow.
