Anfernee Simons Ready To Go Friday
Jan 24, 2025, 6:44 PM ET
Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (back) will be active for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He has been upgraded from probable to available despite dealing with back soreness. Simons is aiming for his third consecutive game with 20-plus points. He has broken out of a slump in impressive fashion, making nine three-pointers over the past two games. Charlotte allows the seventh-most three-point attempts in the league, giving Simons a good opportunity to keep building momentum.--Taavi PailkSource: Casey HoldahlComments · Join ChatOpen App

Taylor Snow of the Boston Celtics' official site reports that forward Paul George (illness) will sit out Wednesday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. George will rest for the second half of a back-to-back due to an illness. He recorded 36 points, five rebounds, and one assist in 30 minutes against Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (rest) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. Turner will rest after recording three points, three rebounds, two assists, and one block in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 117-85 loss to New York. His next chance to play comes Friday in an NBA Cup matchup against Orlando.

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Quentin Grimes (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Grimes will miss his second straight game with a sprained finger on his right hand, sustained Sunday against Detroit. The 26-year-old is averaging 11.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists through 11 outings. With Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves healthy, Grimes should return to a reserve role once available. Collin Sexton could pick up additional backcourt minutes Wednesday, giving him some streaming appeal in deeper fantasy leagues.--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report

Chicago Bulls forward Caleb Wilson (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs after being added to the injury report with right hip soreness. The 20-year-old rookie has enjoyed a strong start to his NBA career, averaging 19.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.0 blocks in 32.4 minutes through nine games. Fantasy managers should monitor his status ahead of tipoff, as Leonard Miller could take on an expanded frontcourt role and offer streaming appeal if Wilson is sidelined.--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (wrist) has sustained a nondisplaced fracture in his right hand and will miss at least one month. The 29-year-old is averaging 18.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 30.9 minutes through eight appearances this season. With Markkanen out, Josh Green will likely continue to start in his place, while Brice Sensabaugh, Darryn Peterson, and Ace Bailey should continue to see additional minutes and scoring opportunities.--Andrew LennoxSource: Shams Charania

Nov 11, 2026, 1:26 PM ET
Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin (leg) is set to return Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans after missing six consecutive contests due to a right leg bone bruise. Demin averaged 7.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.0 steals in 21.8 minutes through his first four games while shooting just 28.6 percent from beyond the arc. With Nolan Traore (calf) questionable, Demin could take on a sizable backcourt role against the Pelicans.--Andrew LennoxSource: Brian Lewis

Nov 11, 2026, 8:46 AM ET
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Quentin Grimes (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks after missing Monday's win over Atlanta. Grimes sprained his right finger Sunday against Detroit, but X-rays came back negative, and head coach JJ Redick doesn't expect a lengthy absence. The 26-year-old is averaging 11.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists through 11 appearances, including a season-high 23 points in a spot start against the Clippers. With Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves healthy, Grimes should return to a reserve role once cleared. Collin Sexton could pick up additional backcourt minutes if Grimes sits again.--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report

Nov 11, 2026, 8:37 AM ET
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Isaiah Stewart (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets after missing the last two games with a right knee bone bruise. Stewart suffered the injury against Indiana on Nov. 4, though head coach Tuomas Iisalo said afterward that he appeared to have avoided anything major. The 25-year-old is averaging 11.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks in 18.3 minutes while shooting 66.7% from the field. If Stewart remains out, Taylor Hendricks and GG Jackson II could pick up more frontcourt minutes, especially with Quinten Post (concussion) unavailable as well.--Brian DailisanSource: Grizzlies PR

Brian Dailisan
Nov 11, 2026, 8:29 AM ET
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls due to left adductor tightness. Vassell missed Monday's win over Phoenix, marking his first absence of the season after appearing in San Antonio's first 10 games. The 26-year-old is averaging 11.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.6 threes per game. Julian Champagnie started in his place Monday and could remain with the first unit if Vassell sits again, especially with Tobias Harris (calf) still sidelined.--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report

Brian Dailisan
Nov 11, 2026, 8:23 AM ET
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves (illness) is off the injury report for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks after missing Monday's win over Atlanta. Reaves was sidelined for the first time this season after dropping a season-high 43 points against Detroit a night earlier. The 28-year-old is averaging 25.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 50.8% through 11 appearances. His return should send Ziaire Williams back to the bench, while Quentin Grimes (finger) remains questionable and could leave additional perimeter minutes available.--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report

Nov 11, 2026, 8:16 AM ET
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Norman Powell (back) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs due to low back spasms. Powell missed Sunday's loss to Philadelphia with right shoulder inflammation, putting him in danger of sitting for a second straight game with a different issue. The 33-year-old is averaging 19.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists through eight appearances, though he's shooting just 39.8% from the field. Isaac Okoro started in his place Sunday and scored 12 points on 4-for-5 shooting, while Jordan Hawkins could also pick up extra backcourt minutes if Powell remains out.--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report

Nov 11, 2026, 8:10 AM ET
Sacramento Kings forward/center Precious Achiuwa (lower leg) was ruled out of Tuesday's loss to the Orlando Magic after suffering a left lower-leg contusion. Achiuwa exited in the third quarter after recording 10 points, three rebounds, and one steal in 14 minutes. The 27-year-old is averaging 10.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.5 blocks through 11 games, giving him useful defensive production. Dylan Cardwell picked up extra minutes after Achiuwa went down, while Keegan Murray could also take on a larger frontcourt role if Achiuwa isn't ready for Friday's matchup with Portland.--Brian DailisanSource: Brenden Nunes
Domantas Sabonis (knee) Out; Keegan Murray Unavailable
and lavine just came back into the game. no domas or keegan tho.
— Brenden Nunes (@BrendenNunesNBA) November 11, 2026
Murray still doesn't seem 100% from his ankle injury and Sabonis missed last night with knee soreness. Wonder if either are playing a factor.

Nolan Traore Iffy for Wednesday
Brian Dailisan
Nov 10, 2026, 10:15 PM ET
Brooklyn Nets guard Nolan Traore (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans due to right calf soreness. The 20-year-old has yet to miss a game this season, starting seven of 10 while averaging 12.9 points, 2.6 assists, and 1.4 steals in 22.1 minutes. He's also shooting an impressive 46.2% from three. If Traore sits, Mikel Brown Jr. and Keon Ellis could pick up additional backcourt minutes, while Egor Demin (leg) is probable and could step back into a sizable ball-handling role after missing six straight games.--Brian DailisanSource: Ian Begley
Egor Demin Probable for Wednesday Against Pelicans
Brian Dailisan
Nov 10, 2026, 10:10 PM ET
Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin (leg) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans after missing six straight games with a right leg bone bruise. The 20-year-old practiced Tuesday and appears on track to return for the first time since Oct. 27. Demin averaged 7.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.0 steals in 21.8 minutes through his first four games, though he shot just 28.6% from three. With Nolan Traore (calf) questionable, Demin could step back into a sizable ball-handling role right away, while Mikel Brown Jr. may see fewer minutes if Brooklyn's backcourt gets healthier.--Brian DailisanSource: Ian Begley
Collin Murray-Boyles Questionable Against Celtics
Brian Dailisan
Nov 10, 2026, 9:55 PM ET
Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics after sitting out Monday against Memphis. The second-year forward had been playing well before the absence, including a 19-point, seven-rebound effort in Friday's win over Milwaukee. With Scottie Barnes (groin) ruled out again, Murray-Boyles should have a sizable role if he's cleared to return. If he remains sidelined, Kyle Anderson could draw another start after replacing him Monday, while Jamison Battle may also pick up additional frontcourt minutes.--Brian DailisanSource: Blake Murphy
Immanuel Quickley Iffy for Wednesday
Brian Dailisan
Nov 10, 2026, 9:51 PM ET
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics after missing the past two games with right hamstring tightness. Quickley was limited in Sunday's practice, and the issue bears watching after a right hamstring strain kept him out of last season's entire first-round playoff series. The 27-year-old is averaging 17.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists through eight appearances. Jamal Shead has made the most of the extra ball-handling work, including a career-high 16 assists against Milwaukee, and remains a useful short-term option if Quickley sits again.--Brian DailisanSource: Blake Murphy
Scottie Barnes Ruled Out for Third Straight Game
Brian Dailisan
Nov 10, 2026, 9:45 PM ET
Toronto Raptors forward/center Scottie Barnes (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Boston Celtics, marking his third straight absence. Barnes hasn't played since Nov. 4 against Denver and was off to a strong start before the injury, averaging 23.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 2.3 steals through eight games. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) also sidelined, RJ Barrett should remain Toronto's primary scoring option. The Raptors play again Thursday in Philadelphia, giving Barnes another chance to return if his groin responds well enough.--Brian DailisanSource: Blake Murphy
Brandon Williams Sidelined at Least One Week
Brian Dailisan
Nov 10, 2026, 9:41 PM ET
Golden State Warriors guard Brandon Williams (hamstring) will miss at least one week after an MRI revealed a mild left hamstring strain. Williams exited Monday's 138-87 win over New Orleans in the first quarter and will be re-evaluated next week. The 26-year-old has been productive off the bench in his first season with Golden State, averaging 10.4 points and 2.3 assists in 16.1 minutes across 10 games. His absence opens more backcourt work on the Warriors' five-game road trip, with De'Anthony Melton and LJ Cryer both candidates for added minutes after Cryer scored 10 points in 20 minutes Monday.--Brian DailisanSource: Anthony Slater
