Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton (ankle) will not play during Wednesday's opener against the Pelicans.

Kendrick Nunn Unsure For Opener
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn (ankle) is a game-time decision Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors.

Malik Monk Available Tuesday Night
Los Angeles Lakers guard Malik Monk (groin) is available to play Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Monk was probable to play, but given the nature of groin injuries, it is good news he is active. The Lakers are dealing with a few injuries on the wing and Monk will likely be one of […]
Collin Sexton Not Listed On Injury Report
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (shoulder) should be good to go Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Sexton tweaked his shoulder at some point during preseason, but it appears to be a minor injury and does not carry an injury designation heading into the opener. Sexton is coming off a career-year, but the trade rumors are […]
Jeremy Lamb, Justin Holiday Questionable Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard/forwards Jeremy Lamb (wrist) and Justin Holiday (ankle) are both questionable to play Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets.
