Boston Celtics | ||||
Devin CarterG · 2d agoIllness · Back Nov 8 · 2d ago | Out | Illness | Nov 8 | Carter missed Boston's final three preseason games with the illness and is now expected to miss time to begin the regular season. He can be considered week-to-week until Boston provides an update on his progress. The 2024 first-rounder signed a two-way pact with the Celtics on Saturday and will provide backcourt depth for the club. |

| Oct 23 |
Prince was previously carrying a questionable tag and will now miss Opening Night. The veteran is expected to be an emergency depth option this season. |

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. |

Mike MathesonD · 3h agoLower Body · Back Oct 23 · 3h ago | Out | Lower Body | Oct 23 | Matheson remains day-to-day and is poised to miss his fourth straight game, but he was present for Tuesday's morning skate with his teammates. He has contributed one assist, nine shots on net, 10 blocked shots and two hits in five appearances this season. |
New York Islanders | ||||

Calum RitchieC · YesterdayLower Body · Back Dec 1 · Yesterday | Out | Lower Body | Dec 1 | Ritchie is currently mired in a five-game pointless streak during which he has generated four blocks, two shots and two PIM while averaging 10:38 of ice time. With the 21-year-old forward sidelined long-term, he likely will be placed on injured reserve in the coming days to free up a roster spot. For now, Mitchell Chaffee could get an extended run at the NHL level with both Ritchie and Matias Maccelli (lower body) dealing with injuries. |
Matias MaccelliLW · YesterdayLower Body · Left · Back Nov 17 · Yesterday | Out | Lower Body · Left | Nov 17 | Maccelli suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's 4-1 win over Toronto. He has contributed two goals, six points and 13 shots on net in eight appearances with the Islanders this season. |

Olli MaattaD · 2d agoUpper Body · Back Oct 27 · 2d ago | Out | Upper Body | Oct 27 | Maatta missed his second straight game Sunday against Columbus and doesn't have a clear timeline for a return to game action. The left-shot blueliner didn't practice Saturday, so he might not be that close to suiting up in a game, but it's at least positive that he will travel with the team. Minnesota's road trip begins Tuesday in Edmonton and concludes Oct. 27 in Utah. |

Nikola TopicG · 23h agoBack · Surgery · Back Oct 22 · 23h ago | 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 · 23h agoKnee · Surgery · Right · Back Oct 22 · 23h ago | 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. |
Carolina Hurricanes | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Mark JankowskiC · 2d agoLower Body · Back Oct 27 · 2d ago | Out | Lower Body | Oct 27 | Jankowski was a late scratch for Sunday's 3-2 loss in Calgary and is now unlikely to be available until after Carolina's current road trip concludes, which will be Saturday in St. Louis. As a result of Jankowski returning home, it wouldn't be surprising to see him land on injured reserve in the near future. While the Hurricanes have lost several forwards due to injury recently, the team is expected to have Seth Jarvis (shoulder) return to the lineup soon, as Brind'Amour said Friday that he's hopeful Jarvis will be able to play at some point during this road trip. Nicolas Deslauriers got back into the lineup Sunday due to Jankowski's absence. |
