Injury report

New York Knicks

  • Mohamed DiawaraQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    The severity of the finger injury is unknown, though it kept Diawara from playing in New York's final three Las Vegas Summer League outings. Over two outings in Las Vegas this summer, he averaged 3.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per tilt.

    Cost -0.2 per 100
  • Drew EubanksProbable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Eubanks will compete for a spot on the Knicks' regular-season roster in training camp. The big man underwent surgery to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb in mid-March, though he's expected to be fully healthy when training camp rolls around. Across 42 regular-season appearances (11 starts) for the Kings last season, the 29-year-old averaged 5.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 0.6 blocks and 0.5 assists in 13.1 minutes per game.

    Cost -0.2 per 100
  • N'Faly DanteOut· back Nov 2
    Report note

    Dante underwent surgery in January to repair a torn ACL and is expected to miss time to begin the 2026-27 season, so it's possible this is a move to secure his G League rights. Over four appearances with the G League's College Park Skyhawks last season, he averaged 11.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks across 16.2 minutes per contest.

San Antonio Spurs

  • David JonesQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Jones Garcia is set for his second season with San Antonio in 2026-27, though most of his action is likely to come with the G League's Austin Spurs. He underwent ankle surgery in February, so it's unclear if Jones Garcia will be ready for full participation in training camp this fall.
