  • Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Questionable with foot soreness

    Shannon is questionable for Friday's game against Utah with left foot soreness.

    Shannon is looking to return from a one-game absence Friday. If he cannot get the green light, Jaylen Clark would have an opportunity to play a more prominent role from the second unit.

  • Zeke Nnaji PF | DEN

    Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Probable for Friday

    Nnaji is probable for Friday's game against the Warriors due to a right ankle sprain.

    Nnaji seems likely to suit up Friday, but even if he does, he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside. The big man is averaging 2.0 points and 0.3 boards across 3.7 minutes per game in his three appearances off the bench this season.

  • Alex Toohey SF | GS

    Warriors' Alex Toohey: Cleared from injury report

    Toohey (knee) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against Denver.

    The stage is set for Toohey to be available for his season debut. However, it's not a lock that the forward will see the court in a meaningful capacity Friday.

  • Kelly Olynyk PF | SA

    Spurs' Kelly Olynyk: Iffy for Friday

    Olynyk (heel) is questionable to play in Friday's game against Houston, per NBA reporter Matthew Tynan.

    Olynyk missed the first few weeks of the season due to offseason heel surgery, so it's not a shock that the Spurs are considering giving him Friday night off with a short turnaround looming Saturday against the Pelicans. If the veteran center is unavailable, Bismack Biyombo would likely rejoin the rotation after not playing in Wednesday's loss to the Lakers.

  • Spurs' Jeremy Sochan: Questionable for Friday

    Sochan (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against Houston, NBA reporter Matthew Tynan reports.

    Friday is the first half of the Spurs' back-to-back set, so it's not a surprise that Sochan could be held out of action following a lengthy absence to open the season. If Sochan doesn't suit up Friday, Julian Champagnie would be in position for significant minutes on the wing.

  • Dante Exum SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Dante Exum: Absent once again

    Exum (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

    Exum has yet to play this season due to a knee injury. His next chance to suit up will come against the Wizards on Saturday in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Spurs' Luke Kornet: Another absence coming

    Kornet (ankle) won't be available for Friday's game against Houston, per NBA reporter Matthew Tynan.

    Friday will mark a sixth straight absence with an ankle sprain for Kornet. The veteran big man has no timetable for a return prior to Saturday's matchup with the Pelicans. With Kelly Olynyk (heel) questionable, it's possible Bismack Biyombo will need to play the backup center role behind Victor Wembanyama.

  • Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Sidelined once again

    Finney-Smith (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

    Finney-Smith has yet to make his Rockets debut while recovering from offseason left ankle surgery. The next chance for the veteran forward to suit up will come against the Bucks on Sunday.

  • Steven Adams C | HOU

    Rockets' Steven Adams: Questionable vs. Spurs

    Adams (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

    The veteran big man is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive game with a hip flexor. Clint Capela would likely take on the backup center role if Adams is out, with Tari Eason also being a candidate to soak up additional center minutes behind Alperen Sengun in this case.

  • Marcus Sasser PG | DET

    Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Remains out

    Sasser (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Nets.

    Sasser will miss a ninth straight contest due to a right hip impingement, and he doesn't have a clear timetable for a return to the hardwood. His next chance to suit up will come against the 76ers on Sunday in the first leg of a back-to-back set.
