Injury report
Brooklyn Nets
- Nolan TraoréOut· back Nov 14Report updated ·
Report note
Traore (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. Traore will miss his first game of the season after being downgraded from questionable to out. The second-year wing was flourishing in a starting role, averaging 15.1 points, 3.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 24.9 minutes over his past seven games. With Mikel Brown (illness) and Traore unavailable, Egor Demin (leg), Keon Ellis, Chaney Johnson, Noah Clowney and Danny Wolf are candidates for increased roles.
- Mikel Brown Jr.Out· back Nov 14Report updated ·
Report note
Brown has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans due to an illness, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports. Brown had been sidelined for Sunday's 130-93 loss to the Mavericks due to back injury management and was slated to return to action Wednesday. However, he appears to have fallen ill overnight, as the Nets added him to the injury report as questionable earlier Wednesday before downgrading him to out.
Detroit Pistons
- Jalen DurenOut· back Nov 24Report updated ·
Report note
Injury/Illness - Right Hamstring Strain (2026-11-12, DET@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-11-08): 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
Injury/Illness - Right Hip Contusion (2026-11-12, DET@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-11-09): 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 OnyensoOut· back Nov 13Report updated ·
Report note
G League - Two-Way (2026-11-12, DET@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-11-11): 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.
