Injury report

Toronto Raptors

  • Collin Murray-BoylesQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Murray-Boyles will miss all the Raptors' Las Vegas Summer League games due to a sprained finger. The 21-year-old big man was productive on both ends of the floor in his rookie campaign, and he figures to continue seeing meaningful playing time in 2026-27.

    Cost -1.4 per 100
  • Alijah MartinQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Martin will miss the Raptors' Summer League finale after being held out of the team's first four games in Las Vegas. He appeared in just 23 regular-season games in 2025-26 and figures to continue providing backcourt depth in 2026-27.

  • Chucky HepburnQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Hepburn will be held out of the Raptors' Summer League finale, marking his third consecutive contest on the inactive list. The 23-year-old point guard appeared in two Las Vegas Summer League games, averaging 6.5 points, 6.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 29.1 minutes per contest.

  • Nate BittleQuestionable
    Report note

    Lower Leg

Dallas Mavericks

  • Santi AldamaQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Head coach Dusty May didn't elaborate, only stating Aldama is dealing with a "nagging injury." The 2021 No. 30 overall pick had spent his entire career in Memphis before being traded to Dallas in July of 2026. In 278 regular-season games, including 82 starts, he averaged 10.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists over 23.4 minutes per contest. His shooting acumen will allow the Mavericks to stretch the floor, and his versatility enables him to man multiple positions while playing various roles. Aldama underwent knee surgery in March, and while it's unknown if that's still a concern, fantasy managers should continue monitoring his health throughout training camp.

    Cost -1.6 per 100
  • Kyrie IrvingQuestionable· back Oct 9
    Report note

    Irving missed the entire 2025-26 season while recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, but he has been participating in pickup games during his ramp-up process. The 34-year-old last played in 2024-25, when he averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 36.1 minutes across 50 regular-season appearances. Ujiri's comments provide another positive sign that Irving is closing in on his return, though Dallas has yet to announce a definitive timeline.

  • Dereck Lively IIQuestionable· back Oct 9
    Report note

    Ujiri noted that Lively has progressed to shooting and is working toward running on the court, though Dallas intends to remain patient with the 22-year-old. Lively underwent right foot surgery in December after appearing in just seven regular-season games in 2025-26, averaging 4.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 blocks in 16.4 minutes per game. He has yet to be cleared for training camp, and his status for the beginning of the regular season remains uncertain.
