Injury report

Miami Heat

  • Giannis AntetokounmpoAvailableReport updated ·
    Report note

    Injury/Illness - Right Wrist Sprain (2026-11-13, CLE@MIA).

  • Pelle LarssonDoubtful· back Nov 13Report updated ·
    Report note

    Injury/Illness - Illness (2026-11-13, CLE@MIA). Prior reporting (2026-11-13): Larsson (illness) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against Cleveland. Larsson is unlikely to suit up for the first half of this back-to-back set with an illness. The expectation is that Andrew Wiggins will rejoin the starting lineup after opening 2026-27 in the first unit.

  • Klay ThompsonProbable· back Nov 13Report updated ·
    Report note

    Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Soreness (2026-11-13, CLE@MIA). Prior reporting (2026-11-13): Thompson (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers. The Heat are upgrading Thompson from questionable to probable, so all signs point toward the veteran sharpshooter playing. He's gone for at least 11 points with multiple three-pointers in six consecutive appearances.

    G League - Two-Way (2026-11-13, CLE@MIA).

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.
