Philadelphia 76ers | ||||
Ariel HukportiC · Oct 6Achilles · Ruptured · Right · Back Oct 1, 2027 · Oct 6 | Out | Achilles · Ruptured · Right | Oct 1, 2027 | Hukporti went down with an Achilles injury in Monday's preseason opener against the Knicks, and an MRI has since revealed a rupture. He signed a one-year deal with the 76ers over the summer, so Hukporti will be an unrestricted free agent come season's end. With Hukporti's year already finished, Adem Bona (foot) should assume the backup center role behind Joel Embiid once healthy. |
Dominick BarlowF · YesterdayBack · Back Nov 2 · Yesterday | Out | Back | Nov 2 | The back issue cost Barlow the entire preseason, and now he'll begin the regular season on the sidelines. The earliest we could see Barlow back on the court would be Nov. 2, but it wouldn't be shocking to see his absence extend beyond this loose, two-week window. |
Tacko FallC · YesterdayHip · Left · Back Oct 22 · Yesterday | Out | Hip · Left | Oct 22 | Fall will sit out the 76ers' first regular-season game with the same injury that sidelined him for the preseason. For now, he should be viewed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cavs. |

Nikola TopicG · YesterdayBack · Surgery · Back Oct 22 · Yesterday | Out | Back · Surgery | Oct 22 | Topic lacks a concrete timetable for his season debut due to offseason back surgery. He's set to serve as backcourt depth once healthy for the Thunder. |
Otega OwehG · 6d agoAchilles · Surgery · Right · Back Jul 1, 2027 · 6d ago | Out | Achilles · Surgery · Right | Jul 1, 2027 | Oweh exited Tuesday's preseason game against the Pacers with a non-contact injury that was later diagnosed as a ruptured right Achilles tendon. The No. 41 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft already faced an uphill battle for playing time on a loaded Thunder roster and will now miss his entire rookie campaign. Depending on his recovery progress, Oweh could be a candidate to participate in the 2027 Summer League. |
Thomas SorberC · YesterdayKnee · Surgery · Right · Back Oct 22 · Yesterday | Out | Knee · Surgery · Right | Oct 22 | Sorber remains without a definitive timeline for his season debut following offseason knee surgery. Once cleared to play, he's expected to operate as frontcourt depth for Oklahoma City. |
San Antonio Spurs | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Jayden QuaintanceF · Oct 5Knee · Surgery · Right · Back Dec 3 · Oct 5 | Out | Knee · Surgery · Right | Dec 3 | The Spurs are expected to exercise extreme caution with the big man, as Quaintance suffered a torn ACL and meniscus with Arizona State in February 2025 before appearing in only four games with Kentucky last season due to severe complications and persistent swelling. The 19-year-old underwent a cleanup procedure on his meniscus in mid-July, and the Spurs will likely want him at 100 percent before ramping him up to basketball activities. |
Tobias HarrisF · YesterdayCalf · Strain · Left · Back Oct 23 · Yesterday | Out | Calf · Strain · Left | Oct 23 | "He's ramping up. He's progressing," coach Mitch Johnson said. "He still needs some more progressing on the court." With Harris still not ready to return, the Spurs will likely utilize their three-guard lineup quite a bit, and guys like Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson and Harrison Barnes could find more minutes. |
