| Player | Status | Injury | Expected back | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Philadelphia 76ers | ||||
Adem BonaC · YesterdayFoot · Sprain · Back Oct 20 · Yesterday | Day-To-Day | Foot · Sprain | Oct 20 | Bona missed the preseason due to the foot issue, but he was able to get in a full practice Sunday, so he appears to be trending in the right direction. If Bona is cleared for Tuesday's season opener, he'll play limited minutes behind Joel Embiid. |
Anfernee SimonsG · YesterdayHamstring · Back Oct 20 · Yesterday | Day-To-Day | Hamstring | Oct 20 | Simons managed to log a full practice Sunday, but the team isn't yet ready to commit to his availability for the regular-season opener. The Sixers should have an update on his status closer to tipoff. |
Dean WadeF · YesterdayAnkle · Sprain · Back Oct 20 · Yesterday |

| Ankle · Sprain |
| Oct 20 |
With back-to-back missed practices, Wade appears to be on the wrong side of the questionable tag. Justin Edwards and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would have a chance to enter the streaming mix in deep leagues if Wade is out. |
Seattle Kraken | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Brandon MontourD · 5h agoLower Body · Back Oct 20 · 5h ago | Day-To-Day | Lower Body | Oct 20 | Montour missed Saturday's clash against his former team with the lower-body injury he suffered in Thursday's game against the Lightning. Prior to the injury, Montour posted an excellent start to the 2026-27 with five assists, 13 shots on net, seven hits and 13 blocked shots across eight appearances. If he's ultimately kept out of the lineup Tuesday, Cale Fleury would likely suit up in his spot once again. |
Chicago Bulls | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Dailyn SwainG · 3h agoIllness · Back Oct 21 · 3h 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 · 3h agoKnee · Back Oct 21 · 3h 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. |
Jordan HawkinsG · 4h agoIllness · Back Oct 21 · 4h ago | Day-To-Day | Illness | 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 · 3h agoGroin · Right · Back Oct 21 · 3h 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 · 3h agoKnee · Back Oct 21 · 3h 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 · 3h agoToe · Surgery · Right · Back Oct 21 · 3h 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 · 4h agoElbow · Soreness · Right · Back Oct 22 · 4h 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. |
Dallas Mavericks | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Dereck Lively IIC · 4d agoFoot · Surgery · Right · Back Oct 21 · 4d ago | Day-To-Day | Foot · Surgery · Right | Oct 21 | Lively, who is recovering from foot surgery he underwent back in December, will wind up missing all four of Dallas' preseason games. Given that there hasn't been any reporting of Lively ramping up his workload, it seems there's a real chance he won't be ready for the start of the 2026-27 season. |
Jett HowardG · 4d agoIllness · Back Oct 21 · 4d ago | Day-To-Day | Illness | Oct 21 | Howard will miss another preseason contest due to an illness. However, he should be ready to go for Opening Night against the Rockets, barring a setback. |
Santi AldamaF · 4h agoKnee · Back Oct 21 · 4h ago | Day-To-Day | Knee | Oct 21 | Coach Dusty May said Aldama was limited at Tuesday's practice, and while he's getting closer, it sounds like the team will take a cautious approach with the big man. In the meantime, guys like Caleb Martin and Morez Johnson are candidates to be more involved. |
Tarik BiberovicF · 4h agoHeel · Right · Back Oct 21 · 4h ago | Day-To-Day | Heel · Right | Oct 21 | Biberovic isn't practicing due to right heel bursitis. Even once healthy, the rookie swingman is unlikely to open 2026-27 in the Dallas rotation. |
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 · 3h agoBack · Back Oct 21 · 3h 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 · 3h agoKnee · Back Oct 21 · 3h 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 · 3h agoIllness · Back Oct 21 · 3h 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 · 3h agoCalf · Soreness · Right · Back Oct 21 · 3h 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 · 3h agoUndisclosed · Back Oct 21 · 3h 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 · 3h agoIllness · Back Oct 21 · 3h 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 · 3h agoUndisclosed · Bruise · Back Oct 21 · 3h 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 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
GG JacksonF · 4d agoAnkle · Back Oct 21 · 4d ago | Day-To-Day | Ankle | Oct 21 | Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said that Jackson tweaked his ankle during Friday's preseason win over the Bulls, so he'll miss Friday's preseason finale and will be listed as "day-to-day." For now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's regular season opener against the Jazz. |
Jerami GrantF · 4d agoUndisclosed · Soreness · Back Oct 21 · 4d ago | Day-To-Day | Undisclosed · Soreness | Oct 21 | Grant is dealing with "general soreness," so he will sit out the Grizzlies' final preseason contest. Barring an unforeseen setback, he should be ready to go on Opening Night against the Jazz. |
Miami Heat | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Vladislav GoldinC · 2h agoAnkle · Back Oct 21 · 2h 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 · 1h agoAnkle · Sprain · Left · Back Oct 21 · 1h 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 · 27m agoKnee · Strain · Left · Back Oct 21 · 27m 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. |
Utah Jazz | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Blake HinsonF · 4d agoHamstring · Left · Back Oct 21 · 4d ago | Day-To-Day | Hamstring · Left | Oct 21 | Hinson won't play in the final exhibition before the Jazz begin the season Wednesday against the Grizzlies. The 26-year-old averaged 7.0 points and 3.0 rebounds over 14.4 minutes in two preseason appearances. |
Kyle FilipowskiF · Oct 10Back · Back Oct 21 · Oct 10 | Day-To-Day | Back | Oct 21 | Filipowski tweaked his back while lifting in the 2025-26 offseason, which caused painful sciatica down his leg throughout the campaign and limited his explosiveness. This offseason, he underwent surgery to fix the herniated disc in his back that was causing the pain, and he's still rehabbing. With Jusuf Nurkic (foot) slated to miss Opening Night, Filipowski's availability moving forward will be one to monitor closely. |
Trey AlexanderG · 4d agoKnee · Left · Back Oct 21 · 4d ago | Day-To-Day | Knee · Left | Oct 21 | In his three preseason outings, Alexander averaged 2.3 points on 16.7 percent shooting in 8.9 minutes per game. He's not expected to have a significant role in the rotation for the Jazz this season. |
Buffalo Sabres | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Justin DanforthRW · YesterdayUpper Body · Back Oct 21 · Yesterday | Day-To-Day | Upper Body | Oct 21 | Danforth still has some time to recover before Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia. He hasn't earned a point in six appearances this season, but he has chipped in three hits and two blocked shots. |
Rasmus DahlinD · YesterdayUpper Body · Back Oct 21 · Yesterday | Day-To-Day | Upper Body | Oct 21 | Dahlin would be making his first appearance since Oct. 12 versus the Panthers, a stretch of three games on the shelf due to his upper-body problem. Prior to getting hurt, the 26-year-old blueliner registered two goals and two assists, including a pair of power-play points, in six contests. |
Sam CarrickC · 6h agoUpper Body · Back Oct 21 · 6h ago | Day-To-Day | Upper Body | Oct 21 | Carrick has suited up in only two of Buffalo's last seven games, though his previous absences aren't believed to be injury-related. He hasn't earned a point in four appearances this season, but he has contributed one shot on net and nine hits. |
Calgary Flames | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Mikael BacklundC · 3h agoUpper Body · Back Oct 22 · 3h ago | Day-To-Day | Upper Body | Oct 22 | Backlund suffered an upper-body injury in Sunday's 3-2 win over Carolina. He didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, and it's unclear if he will be available to play against Minnesota on Thursday. Backlund has collected one goal, two points, 24 shots on net and seven hits in eight appearances this season. |

Alika WilliamsSS · Sep 26Upper Body · Soreness · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 26 | Day-To-Day | Upper Body · Soreness | Feb 1, 2027 | Williams will miss a third consecutive game Saturday as he continues to battle upper-body soreness, and there's a chance the A's -- with nothing to play for -- take a cautious approach and sit him during Sunday's season finale as well. Donovan Walton will get the nod at shortstop Saturday, moving Jeff McNeil to second base and allowing Tommy White to start at first. |
Baltimore Orioles | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Cameron FosterRP · May 28Shoulder · Inflammation · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · May 28 | Day-To-Day | Shoulder · Inflammation · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Foster was charged with one run over 1.1 innings of work before being pulled. It's unclear whether Foster will be sent for an MRI, but even if his removal was precautionary, he'll likely be unavailable for at least a few days. The 27-year-old has allowed 10 runs (nine earned) with a 9:8 K:BB over nine innings covering six relief outings during his time with the Orioles this season. |
Reed TrimbleLF · Aug 17Hamstring · Soreness · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Aug 17 | Day-To-Day | Hamstring · Soreness · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Right hamstring injuries have now forced Trimble to the shelf on three separate occasions this season. The switch-hitting outfielder has at least managed to stay productive at Norfolk when he hasn't been hurt, slashing .236/.328/.600 with five home runs and three stolen bases over 64 plate appearances. He's in the midst of his first season as a member of the Orioles' 40-man roster, but the injuries have likely taken him out of consideration for a big-league call-up in 2026. |
Boston Red Sox | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Romy GonzalezDH · Sep 29Elbow · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 29 | Day-To-Day | Elbow | Feb 1, 2027 | Gonzalez will head back to the minors to help make room on the active roster for the additions Boston made prior to the trade deadline. The 29-year-old utility man has taken a step back in the big leagues this year, slashing just .185/.264/.308 with seven RBI and seven runs scored in 73 plate appearances. |
Detroit Tigers | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Jake MillerSP · Jul 12Undisclosed · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Jul 12 | Day-To-Day | Undisclosed | Feb 1, 2027 | Miller opened the season on Triple-A Toledo's IL while he was recovering from October labral repair surgeries on both of his hips, but he was activated and assigned to Erie earlier in the week after completing a six rehab appearances across stops with three of the Tigers' lower-level affiliates. He made his debut for Erie on Tuesday and struck out two over three scoreless frames, but Miller apparently succumbed to a new injury coming out of that appearance. |
Kansas City Royals | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Mitch SpenceRP · Aug 7Undisclosed · Back Oct 20 · Aug 7 | Day-To-Day | Undisclosed | Oct 20 | Spence's move to the IL represents yet another hit to the Royals' starting pitching depth, as the organization has already lost Cole Ragans, Stephen Kolek, Luinder Avila, Ryan Bergert and Ben Kudrna to season-ending elbow surgeries. The 28-year-old righty has been part of the Royals' 40-man roster throughout the 2026 campaign, logging a 5.35 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 16 starts with Omaha and yielding 22 earned runs in 9.1 innings over three appearances at the big-league level. |
Ryan BergertSP · May 8Elbow · Surgery · Right · Back May 1, 2027 · May 8 | Day-To-Day | Elbow · Surgery · Right | May 1, 2027 | Bergert was removed from his start at Triple-A Omaha on April 7 due to an elbow injury, and after receiving a second opinion, he ultimately decided to go under the knife to address the issue. The Royals didn't give a timeline for the right-hander's return, but he'll almost certainly miss the rest of the 2026 campaign. |
Pittsburgh Pirates | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Oneil CruzCF · Sep 27Knee · Bruise · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 27 | Day-To-Day | Knee · Bruise · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Cruz was forced to exit Saturday's game with a left knee injury. The good news is an MRI came back negative, per Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com, but there's no reason to push Cruz to play during the regular-season finale. He will finish the 2026 campaign having hit .280/.368/.486 with 20 home runs and 30 stolen bases over just 97 contests. |
Seattle Mariners | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Kade AndersonSP · Sep 26Forearm · Bruise · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 26 | Day-To-Day | Forearm · Bruise · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | Anderson was quickly pulled from Saturday's start after taking a comebacker off his pitching arm in the fourth inning. It appears the 22-year-old southpaw has avoided a serious injury, a good sign for him and the Mariners heading into the offseason. Anderson made his major-league debut Aug. 22, and across seven big-league starts he posted a 3.79 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 35.2 innings. |
St. Louis Cardinals | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Richard FittsSP · Sep 29Lat · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 29 | Day-To-Day | Lat · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Fitts underwent right lat surgery in April after getting hurt while pitching at Triple-A Memphis. It's unclear where Fitts currently is in the rehab process, but Bloom said the righty is "hellbent on being part of this picture from the jump" next season. Assuming health, Fitts will be in the mix for a rotation spot next season. However, after all the time off there's a good chance he'll begin the campaign back at Memphis. |
