Injury report

Toronto Raptors

  • Kawhi LeonardOut· back Nov 23Report updated ·
    Report note

    Head coach Darko Rajakovic said Wednesday that Leonard (knee) is doing individual on-court work and is progressing well, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. The Raptors are expected to provide another update on Leonard's status in about one week, though it's encouraging to see how he's progressed thus far. Collin Murray-Boyles and Ja'Kobe Walter are candidates for increased playing time for as long as Leonard is sidelined.

  • Scottie BarnesOut· back Nov 12Report updated ·
    Report note

    Barnes (groin) is out for Wednesday's game against Boston. The star forward is missing a third straight game with a groin strain. Ja'Kobe Walter should continue to handle additional playmaking duties in Barnes' stead.

  • Trayce Jackson-DavisDay to day· back Nov 12Report updated ·
    Report note

    Jackson-Davis (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Jackson-Davis is under the weather and will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set. If Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) joins Jackson-Davis on the inactive list, Jamison Battle and Kyle Anderson would likely see increased burn.

  • Nate BittleOut· back Nov 15Report updated ·
    Report note

    Bittle (foot) is listed as out for Monday's game against Memphis. Bittle has been battling a foot injury for a couple of months. It's unknown when the rookie will be cleared to suit up for the Raptors, so he should be considered week-to-week for now.

New Orleans Pelicans

  • Trey Murphy IIIOut· back Nov 13Report updated ·
    Report note

    Murphy (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Nets. Murphy will miss a second consecutive game due to a knee issue. His next opportunity to get back on the court will come Friday against the Grizzlies. While Murphy remains on the shelf Wednesday, Saddiq Bey could stay in the starting lineup.

  • Yves MissiOut· back Nov 16Report updated ·
    Report note

    Missi (knee) is out for Friday's game against Minnesota. Missi has been sidelined since picking up his injury Oct. 23. He remains without a timetable to return.

  • Bennedict MathurinOut· back Nov 13Report updated ·
    Report note

    Mathurin has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets due to a right thumb sprain. Mathurin wasn't listed on the initial injury report, and the extent of the issue remains unclear. While he's not a major part of the regular rotation, Mathurin, Trey Murphy and Trendon Watford are all expected to be unavailable Wednesday, opening the door for Saddiq Bey, Herbert Jones and potentially Jordan Poole to play more minutes.

  • Trendon WatfordOut· back Nov 13Report updated ·
    Report note

    Watford (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets. Watford continues to nurse a right ankle sprain. The forward lacks a concrete timetable for a return to the floor.
