Injury report

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.

Milwaukee Bucks

  • Ryan RollinsDay to day· back Nov 13Report updated ·
    Report note

    Rollins (head) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's 123-112 loss to the Lakers and did not return, finishing with eight points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 24 minutes. Rollins bumped heads with Collin Sexton with 6:51 remaining in the contest, and both players exited to the locker room. Rollins' status will be worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game at Orlando. If he needs to miss time, AJ Green and Kasparas Jakucionis could see increased playing time.

  • Myles TurnerOut· back Nov 13Report updated ·
    Report note

    Turner has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to rest. Turner will miss his first game of the season after totaling only three points in 27 minutes during Tuesday's blowout loss in New York. In Turner's absence, Kel'el Ware and Jericho Sims are candidates for increased roles. Turner should return to action Friday in Orlando.
