Injury report

Denver Nuggets

  • Julian StrawtherOut· back Nov 29Report updated ·
    Report note

    Strawther (knee) was diagnosed with a left knee sprain Friday and will be re-evaluated in six weeks, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports. Strawther suffered the injury in Wednesday's preseason game against the Clippers. The 24-year-old has appeared in 172 regular-season games for the Nuggets since entering the league in 2023, averaging 7.1 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 16.2 minutes per contest. He was in line to compete for an expanded role during the 2026-27 campaign. While that may be the case once Strawther is cleared to suit up, Tyus Jones and potentially Ryan Nembhard are candidates to receive more minutes in the interim.

Toronto Raptors

  • Kawhi LeonardOut· back Nov 23Report updated ·
    Report note

    Head coach Darko Rajakovic said Wednesday that Leonard (knee) is doing individual on-court work and is progressing well, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports. The Raptors are expected to provide another update on Leonard's status in about one week, though it's encouraging to see how he's progressed thus far. Collin Murray-Boyles and Ja'Kobe Walter are candidates for increased playing time for as long as Leonard is sidelined.

  • Scottie BarnesOut· back Nov 12Report updated ·
    Report note

    Barnes (groin) is out for Wednesday's game against Boston. The star forward is missing a third straight game with a groin strain. Ja'Kobe Walter should continue to handle additional playmaking duties in Barnes' stead.

  • Trayce Jackson-DavisDay to day· back Nov 12Report updated ·
    Report note

    Jackson-Davis (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Jackson-Davis is under the weather and will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set. If Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) joins Jackson-Davis on the inactive list, Jamison Battle and Kyle Anderson would likely see increased burn.

  • Nate BittleOut· back Nov 15Report updated ·
    Report note

    Bittle (foot) is listed as out for Monday's game against Memphis. Bittle has been battling a foot injury for a couple of months. It's unknown when the rookie will be cleared to suit up for the Raptors, so he should be considered week-to-week for now.
