Injury report

Houston Rockets

  • Steven AdamsQuestionable· back Oct 9
    Report note

    The veteran center underwent left ankle surgery in late January and is currently without a clear timetable for a return to the court. Udoka also noted that Adams' minutes limit will be determined by how he progresses in training camp. If the 33-year-old begins the season on the inactive list, Clint Capela would likely see a bump in minutes.

    Cost -1.9 per 100

Miami Heat

  • Bam AdebayoProbable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    While Adebayo may sacrifice some scoring volume, Antetokounmpo's ability to collapse defenses should create more efficient scoring opportunities, and the duo projects to form one of the league's premier defensive frontcourts. Adebayo nursed a back issue to end the 2025-26 season, but he should be a full go for training camp.

    Cost -4.3 per 100
  • Giannis AntetokounmpoProbable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Antetokounmpo's absence wasn't due to restrictions from Miami, as Greece's federation indicated the decision was made as part of his preparation for the upcoming season. The 31-year-old will begin a new chapter with the Heat after being acquired from Milwaukee in a blockbuster trade this offseason.

    Cost -4.2 per 100
  • Myron GardnerQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Gardner's Summer League is over because of an ankle sprain he suffered in Friday's California Classic opener in San Francisco against the Spurs. The swingman is missing out on valuable reps as he competes for a rotation spot with the Heat, but he does have plenty of time to recuperate for training camp in the fall.

    Cost -0.5 per 100
