Injury report

Miami Heat

  • Giannis AntetokounmpoProbable· back Nov 13Report updated ·
    Report note

    Injury/Illness - Right Wrist Sprain (2026-11-13, CLE@MIA). Prior reporting (2026-11-12): Antetokounmpo (wrist) is probable for Friday's game against Cleveland. The superstar forward appears on track to suit up Friday despite dealing with a wrist sprain. Barring any setbacks, Antetokounmpo should be able to handle a normal workload and will be aiming to extend his streak of double-doubles with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds to nine games.

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

    Injury/Illness - Illness (2026-11-13, CLE@MIA). Prior reporting (2026-11-12): Larsson (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland. Larsson didn't participate in Thursday's practice and is in danger of missing Friday's contest. If the 25-year-old swingman is unable to play, Andrew Wiggins and Tim Hardaway would be candidates for expanded roles.

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

    Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Soreness (2026-11-13, CLE@MIA). Prior reporting (2026-11-12): Thompson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers. Thompson sat out Thursday's practice and could miss Friday's game due to left ankle soreness. If the veteran sharpshooter is held out of the front end of this back-to-back set, Andrew Wiggins, Tim Hardaway and Ryan Conwell could see increased burn, especially if Pelle Larsson (illness) is also ruled out.

  • Vladislav GoldinOutReport updated ·
    Report note

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

Detroit Pistons

  • Jalen DurenOut· back Nov 24Report updated ·
    Report note

    Duren (hamstring) has begun on-court activity and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports. Duren is progressing in his rehab after suffering a right hamstring strain Oct. 23, though he'll remain on the inactive list for at least the next two weeks while ramping up toward a return to game action. Paul Reed should continue to play a sizable role in Duren's stead.

  • Isaiah JoeOut· back Nov 17Report updated ·
    Report note

    Joe (hip) is out for Monday against the Wizards. Joe is missing a seventh consecutive contest with a bruised hip. His next chance to play comes Thursday in a road rematch with Washington.

  • Ugonna OnyensoDay to day· back Nov 13Report updated ·
    Report note

    Onyenso agreed to a two-way contract with the Pistons on Thursday. The No. 53 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Onyenso appears poised to see run in the G League after putting pen to paper on a two-way deal. He'll likely face an uphill battle to carve out a role in the rotation, so Detroit will presumably allow him to continue his development with Motor City.
