Injury report
Toronto Raptors
- Collin Murray-BoylesQuestionable· back Oct 1Cost -1.4 per 100
Report note
Murray-Boyles will miss all the Raptors' Las Vegas Summer League games due to a sprained finger. The 21-year-old big man was productive on both ends of the floor in his rookie campaign, and he figures to continue seeing meaningful playing time in 2026-27.
- Alijah MartinQuestionable· back Oct 1
Report note
Martin will miss the Raptors' Summer League finale after being held out of the team's first four games in Las Vegas. He appeared in just 23 regular-season games in 2025-26 and figures to continue providing backcourt depth in 2026-27.
- Chucky HepburnQuestionable· back Oct 1
Report note
Hepburn will be held out of the Raptors' Summer League finale, marking his third consecutive contest on the inactive list. The 23-year-old point guard appeared in two Las Vegas Summer League games, averaging 6.5 points, 6.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 29.1 minutes per contest.

Sacramento Kings
- Keegan MurrayQuestionable· back Oct 1Cost -1.6 per 100
Report note
Watkins believes De'Andre Hunter will start at small forward next to Murray ahead of Alex Karaban. Murray underwent an arthroscopic procedure to remove loose bodies in his left ankle back in May, though he's expected to be ready in time for training camp.
- Zach LaVineProbable· back Oct 1Cost -0.7 per 100
Report note
LaVine underwent season-ending surgery on his right hand before the 2025-26 All-Star break. He averaged 19.2 points in 39 regular-season games and was a two-time All-Star before being traded to the Kings in February of 2025. The Kings are listening to trade offers for LaVine and Domantas Sabonis, but their hefty contracts are making things difficult. If LaVine stays in Sacramento, he'll likely take a back seat, as the Kings try to develop 2026 No. 7 overall pick Darius Acuff.
- De'Andre HunterProbable· back Oct 1
Report note
Fantasy managers weren't quite able to get a clear idea about Hunter's role after his move to Sacramento, as the forward made just two appearances for the Kings before undergoing season-ending eye surgery. While Acuff is expected to play a big role and see plenty of ball-handling duties right away, Hunter could still move up the depth chart and benefit from a usage perspective if DeMar DeRozan (hamstring) winds up going elsewhere in 2026-27.
