Injury report

Milwaukee Bucks

  • Ryan RollinsDay to day· back Nov 13Report updated ·
    Report note

    Rollins (head) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's 123-112 loss to the Lakers and did not return, finishing with eight points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 24 minutes. Rollins bumped heads with Collin Sexton with 6:51 remaining in the contest, and both players exited to the locker room. Rollins' status will be worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game at Orlando. If he needs to miss time, AJ Green and Kasparas Jakucionis could see increased playing time.

  • Myles TurnerOut· back Nov 13Report updated ·
    Report note

    Turner has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to rest. Turner will miss his first game of the season after totaling only three points in 27 minutes during Tuesday's blowout loss in New York. In Turner's absence, Kel'el Ware and Jericho Sims are candidates for increased roles. Turner should return to action Friday in Orlando.

Denver Nuggets

  • Julian StrawtherOut· back Nov 29Report updated ·
    Report note

    Strawther (knee) was diagnosed with a left knee sprain Friday and will be re-evaluated in six weeks, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports. Strawther suffered the injury in Wednesday's preseason game against the Clippers. The 24-year-old has appeared in 172 regular-season games for the Nuggets since entering the league in 2023, averaging 7.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 16.2 minutes per contest. He was in line to compete for an expanded role during the 2026-27 campaign. While that may be the case once Strawther is cleared to suit up, Tyus Jones and potentially Ryan Nembhard are candidates to receive more minutes in the interim.
