Chicago Bulls | ||||
Dailyn SwainG · 5h agoIllness · Back Oct 21 · 5h ago | Day-To-Day | Illness | Oct 21 | Swain wasn't expected to travel with the team, but the Bulls are at least leaving the door slightly open for Wednesday. Isaac Okoro (knee) and Patrick Williams should ultimately pick up a few extra minutes off the bench. |
Isaac OkoroF · 5h agoKnee · Back Oct 21 · 5h ago | Day-To-Day | Knee | Oct 21 | Okoro had his reps managed in the preseason but is expected to play Wednesday. He could see a couple of extra minutes in Dailyn Swain's (illness) expected absence. |

| Oct 21 |
Hawkins is day-to-day but will not travel with the team ahead of Opening Night. The guard is on a two-way contract and is not projected to be in the rotation early on. |
Leonard MillerF · 5h agoGroin · Right · Back Oct 21 · 5h ago | Day-To-Day | Groin · Right | Oct 21 | This is a new injury for Miller, though it sounds minor. The Bulls have quite a few injuries, so Miller could be in the mix for a rotation spot after a strong showing in the preseason. |
Tobe AwakaF · 5h agoKnee · Back Oct 21 · 5h ago | Day-To-Day | Knee | Oct 21 | Awaka remains day-to-day with his knee sprain. With Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) sidelined to open the season, Awaka could be in the mix at the edge of the rotation. |
Zach CollinsF · 5h agoToe · Surgery · Right · Back Oct 21 · 5h ago | Day-To-Day | Toe · Surgery · Right | Oct 21 | Collins has been able to practice for Chicago for the past couple days after missing the entire preseason. He said Monday he was hopeful to play in the season opener, and the probable tag is a good sign. He's penciled in to back up Jalen Smith with Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) sidelined. |
Cleveland Cavaliers | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Khalifa DiopC · Oct 13Knee · Left · Back Oct 22 · Oct 13 | Day-To-Day | Knee · Left | Oct 22 | Diop is away from the team while tending to a knee injury. His next chance to rejoin Cleveland comes next Thursday for the season opener against the 76ers. |
Sam MerrillG · 6h agoElbow · Soreness · Right · Back Oct 22 · 6h ago | Day-To-Day | Elbow · Soreness · Right | Oct 22 | It sounds like Merrill is progressing well from an elbow injury. The Cavaliers are likely to release their first injury report Wednesday, and Merrill can be tentatively deemed questionable for Thursday's season opener against the Heat in the meantime. |
Denver Nuggets | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Spencer JonesF · 2d agoHamstring · Back Oct 22 · 2d ago | Day-To-Day | Hamstring | Oct 22 | His level of participation is unclear, though it's encouraging to see Jones at practice. He missed the preseason with a hamstring injury and can be considered questionable for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Thunder until further notice. |
Golden State Warriors | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Brandin PodziemskiG · 4h agoBack · Back Oct 21 · 4h ago | Day-To-Day | Back | Oct 21 | It was reported on Monday that Podziemski will be listed as questionable for Wednesday's season opener, and Friedell confirmed that remains the case. If the Warriors opt to hold him out, the team could rely more on De'Anthony Melton. |
Charles BasseyC · 4h agoKnee · Back Oct 21 · 4h ago | Day-To-Day | Knee | Oct 21 | Bassey missed practice Tuesday, placing him on the wrong side of the questionable marker. The big man is unlikely to play a significant role even with Kristaps Porzingis on the mend with an undisclosed medical issue. |
Stephen CurryG · YesterdayAnkle · Sprain · Right · Back Oct 21 · Yesterday | Day-To-Day | Ankle · Sprain · Right | Oct 21 | Head coach Steve Kerr said Monday that the star guard is fine after leaving Sunday's practice with an ankle sprain. It remains to be seen if Curry will carry an injury designation into Wednesday's opener, but fantasy managers can plan on having him available in any event. |
Houston Rockets | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Julian PhillipsF · 4h agoIllness · Back Oct 21 · 4h ago | Day-To-Day | Illness | Oct 21 | Phillips is set to begin the season with Houston after working with a training camp pact. Most of his playing time should come with the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers. |
Steven AdamsC · 4h agoCalf · Soreness · Right · Back Oct 21 · 4h ago | Day-To-Day | Calf · Soreness · Right | Oct 21 | Adams missed Houston's final two preseason games for rest purposes but is now dealing with right calf tightness ahead of the club's regular-season opener. If the veteran big man is unable to suit up, Clint Capela figures to see increased playing time behind Alperen Sengun. |
Los Angeles Lakers | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Adou ThieroF · 4h agoUndisclosed · Back Oct 21 · 4h ago | Day-To-Day | Undisclosed | Oct 21 | Thiero missed Los Angeles' final two preseason outings and also sat out Monday's practice with an undisclosed injury. The Lakers will release their injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Golden State by Tuesday night, but for now, the 22-year-old can be considered questionable. |
Bronny JamesG · 4h agoIllness · Back Oct 21 · 4h ago | Day-To-Day | Illness | Oct 21 | James was excused from Monday's practice due to an illness, though he appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener against Golden State. However, the 22-year-old's absence wouldn't figure to impact the rotation. |
Cameron CarrG · 4h agoUndisclosed · Bruise · Back Oct 21 · 4h ago | Day-To-Day | Undisclosed · Bruise | Oct 21 | The rookie guard continues to nurse a contusion. His status remains in the dark for Wednesday's season opener against the Warriors. |
Collin SextonG · YesterdayLower Leg · Right · Back Oct 21 · Yesterday | Day-To-Day | Lower Leg · Right | Oct 21 | Sexton missed the end of the preseason with a lower right leg injury, but he's trending in the right direction. His status remains uncertain for Wednesday's season opener against the Warriors. |
Jarred VanderbiltF · 4d agoUndisclosed · Back Oct 21 · 4d ago | Day-To-Day | Undisclosed | Oct 21 | Vanderbilt was spotted in street clothes, though it's unknown why he isn't playing in the Lakers' preseason finale. His next chance to suit up will come in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Warriors. |
Memphis Grizzlies | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Isaiah StewartC · 1h agoAnkle · Left · Back Oct 21 · 1h ago | Day-To-Day | Ankle · Left | Oct 21 | Stewart is still recovering from an ankle injury he sustained during the preseason on Oct. 5, and it looks like he'll miss Memphis' regular-season opener. With Stewart out of the lineup, Quinten Post should be more involved in the rotation. |
Miami Heat | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Vladislav GoldinC · 3h agoAnkle · Back Oct 21 · 3h ago | Day-To-Day | Ankle | Oct 21 | Goldin is in danger of missing the start of the new year. His status should have little to no effect on the Miami rotation Wednesday. |
Milwaukee Bucks | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Nate AmentF · 2h agoAnkle · Sprain · Left · Back Oct 21 · 2h ago | Day-To-Day | Ankle · Sprain · Left | Oct 21 | The rookie forward is expected to be available for his league debut Wednesday. However, Ament doesn't appear to be in line for a considerable role. |
Phoenix Suns | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Luke KennardG · 40m agoKnee · Strain · Left · Back Oct 21 · 40m ago | Day-To-Day | Knee · Strain · Left | Oct 21 | Coach Jordan Ott mentioned that Kennard fared well in practice, but it seems the team is wanting to monitor him closely over the next day or so before clearing him for Wednesday's opener. "He did more today, for sure, in practice," said Ott. "This was kind of a test day to see exactly where he's at. Tomorrow will be a lower day. Try to be right for Wednesday." Kennard experienced knee soreness near the end of the preseason, forcing him to miss Wednesday's exhibition, but it isn't expected to be long-term issue. |
Oso IghodaroF · 2d agoHip · Soreness · Back Oct 21 · 2d ago | Day-To-Day | Hip · Soreness | Oct 21 | Ighodaro proved to be a serviceable big man during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 6.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 22.0 minutes per contest across 82 appearances. He will be under contract through the 2030-31 season with the extension. Ighodaro has been dealing with hip soreness to close the preseason, but there haven't been any indications that it will keep him out for the regular season opener Wednesday. |
Portland Trail Blazers | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Chris YoungbloodG · 4d agoCalf · Soreness · Left · Back Oct 21 · 4d ago | Day-To-Day | Calf · Soreness · Left | Oct 21 | Youngblood will miss his third consecutive preseason contest due to lingering left calf soreness. It's unknown if he will be available for Opening Night versus Phoenix. |
Jrue HolidayG · 4d agoHand · Soreness · Right · Back Oct 21 · 4d ago | Day-To-Day | Hand · Soreness · Right | Oct 21 | The 36-year-old veteran will skip Portland's final exhibition game with some soreness in his shooting hand, but this shouldn't be anything that impacts his status for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Suns. With Holiday unavailable, expect more minutes for Scoot Henderson and Vit Krejci. |
Micah PotterC · 4d agoIllness · Back Oct 21 · 4d ago | Day-To-Day | Illness | Oct 21 | Potter isn't feeling well and will miss Portland's final exhibition match, but he should be good to go for Wednesday's regular-season opener versus Phoenix. Potter will conclude his preseason run with averages of 6.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 10.8 minutes per game. |
Sacramento Kings | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Malik MonkG · 4d agoAnkle · Soreness · Left · Back Oct 21 · 4d ago | Day-To-Day | Ankle · Soreness · Left | Oct 21 | Monk has been dealing with left ankle soreness throughout training camp and the preseason. While he hasn't been ruled out for Opening Night against Los Angeles, his availability will hinge on "how the ankle responds" leading up to the contest. If Monk isn't available, Nique Clifford should be considered the favorite to see more minutes. |
