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 · Oct 24, 3:05 PM
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 MathurinDay to day· back Nov 13Report updated · Nov 12, 11:00 AM
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 WatfordDay to day· back Nov 13Report updated · Nov 12, 11:00 AM
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.

Paul GeorgeDay to day· back Nov 15Report updated · Nov 11, 11:00 PM
Report note
George (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Toronto, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. George will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set due to an illness, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Mavericks. With the veteran forward sidelined, Baylor Scheierman, Sam Hauser and Hugo Gonzalez are all candidates to see increased playing time.
