Injury report

Toronto Raptors

  • Collin Murray-BoylesQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Murray-Boyles will miss all the Raptors' Las Vegas Summer League games due to a sprained finger. The 21-year-old big man was productive on both ends of the floor in his rookie campaign, and he figures to continue seeing meaningful playing time in 2026-27.

    Cost -1.4 per 100
  • Alijah MartinQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Martin will miss the Raptors' Summer League finale after being held out of the team's first four games in Las Vegas. He appeared in just 23 regular-season games in 2025-26 and figures to continue providing backcourt depth in 2026-27.

  • Chucky HepburnQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Hepburn will be held out of the Raptors' Summer League finale, marking his third consecutive contest on the inactive list. The 23-year-old point guard appeared in two Las Vegas Summer League games, averaging 6.5 points, 6.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 29.1 minutes per contest.

  • Nate BittleQuestionable
    Report note

    Lower Leg

Charlotte Hornets

  • Brandon MillerQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    With Miller coming off May surgery to address left shoulder instability, any rehab update is notable as Charlotte prepares for training camp. "It's going good, going good," Miller said. "I'm getting stronger. That's all I can ask for. The stronger I get, the more mobile I am with the shoulder and that is the most important thing." He wasn't ready to commit to a timetable, and he's still awaiting full clearance for basketball activities with training camp a little over a month away.

    Cost -3.0 per 100
  • Kon KnueppelQuestionable· back Oct 21
    Report note

    The Hornets say that Knueppel will be re-evaluated during the first week of the regular season, putting his status for Opening Night on Oct. 21 in jeopardy. Knueppel is coming off a dominant rookie campaign with regular-season averages of 18.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists on 47.5 percent shooting from the field.

    Cost -2.9 per 100
  • Grant WilliamsQuestionable· back Oct 21
    Report note

    Williams will be re-evaluated the first week of the regular season, putting his status for Opening Night in the air. Williams will have a difficult path to minutes this season as he competes with the likes of Naz Reid, Royce O'Neale and Tidjane Salaun.

    Cost -1.5 per 100
  • PJ HallQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Hall sustained the injury in the G League Greensboro Swarm's playoff win over the Maine Celtics on March 31. The big man appeared in 19 regular-season games (two starts) with Charlotte, averaging 4.5 points and 3.9 rebounds in 11.3 minutes per contest. He's signed to a two-way deal with the Hornets and is slated to return next season.

  • Rob DillinghamProbable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Dillingham, the 2024 No. 8 overall pick, has appeared in 114 regular-season games for the Timberwolves and Bulls throughout his career, averaging 5.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists over 13.0 minutes per contest. It's unknown what kind of role he will have in Charlotte, though it may not be a meaningful one, considering the Hornets have plenty of backcourt depth. Dillingham had minor surgery in April to remove a ganglion cyst but is expected to be ready to go to begin the 2026-27 campaign.
