Boston Celtics
- Paul GeorgeDay to day· back Nov 15Report updated ·
Report note
George (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Toronto, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Atlanta Hawks
- Mouhamed GueyeOut· back Dec 12Report updated ·
Report note
Injury/Illness - Left Foot Fracture (2026-11-13, ATL@CHI). Prior reporting (2026-11-13): Gueye (foot) is ready to begin on-court activities and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. The team stated in July that the big man would remain sidelined for the next 3-to-4 months after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured left foot, and he's continuing to make progress in his rehab. A timetable for Gueye's 2026-27 debut has yet to be established, thought a date could come into focus following his next evaluation in mid-December.
- Kingston FlemingsQuestionable· back Nov 13Report updated ·
Report note
Injury/Illness - Lumbar Spasm (2026-11-13, ATL@CHI). Prior reporting (2026-11-12): Flemings (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls. Flemings is in danger of missing his second contest of the year due to a lumbar spasm. The rookie first-rounder recently leapfrogged CJ McCollum for a starting spot, but the latter would likely rejoin the first unit if the former sits out Friday.

Injury/Illness - Left Knee Inflammation; Non-Surgical Procedure (2026-11-13, ATL@CHI). Prior reporting (2026-11-12): Gilbert (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.

- Henri VeesaarOut· back Jul 1
Report note
Injury/Illness - Right ACL Tear (2026-11-13, ATL@CHI). Prior reporting (2026-09-21): Veesaar was diagnosed with a torn right ACL and is expected to miss the 2026-27 season, the Hawks announced Monday. Veesaar suffered the injury during a workout on Sept. 15, and an MRI confirmed the diagnosis. The No. 52 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Veesaar was expected to spend a lot of time with Atlanta's G League affiliate this season. Previously reported out for season.
