Report note
Injury/Illness - Right Finger Sprain (2026-11-11, LAL@MIL). Prior reporting (2026-11-10): Grimes (finger) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee. Grimes injured his finger in Sunday's game against Detroit and didn't suit up for the 124-114 win over Atlanta on Monday. With Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves (illness) both available, Grimes is expected to head back to the bench. However, another absence could mean more minutes for Sandro Mamukelashvili, Ziaire Williams and Collin Sexton.

Report note
Injury/Illness - Left Knee Sprain (2026-11-11, DEN@MEM). Prior reporting (2026-10-17): 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.
