Injury report
Milwaukee Bucks
- Ryan RollinsDay to day· back Nov 13Report updated ·
Report note
Rollins (head) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's 123-112 loss to the Lakers and did not return, finishing with eight points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 24 minutes. Rollins bumped heads with Collin Sexton with 6:51 remaining in the contest, and both players exited to the locker room. Rollins' status will be worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game at Orlando. If he needs to miss time, AJ Green and Kasparas Jakucionis could see increased playing time.
- Myles TurnerOut· back Nov 13Report updated ·
Report note
Turner has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to rest. Turner will miss his first game of the season after totaling only three points in 27 minutes during Tuesday's blowout loss in New York. In Turner's absence, Kel'el Ware and Jericho Sims are candidates for increased roles. Turner should return to action Friday in Orlando.
Houston Rockets
- Steven AdamsOut· back Nov 15Report updated ·
Report note
Head coach Ime Udoka said Monday that Adams could return as soon as Sunday's game at Washington, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports. The veteran center is still recovering from a right soleus strain and hasn't played since Oct. 23. With Adams and Clint Capela (ankle) both sidelined, Tari Eason and Jabari Smith figure to see increased burn at center.
- Clint CapelaOut· back Nov 15Report updated ·
Report note
Head coach Ime Udoka stated Monday that Capela (ankle) could be cleared to return either Nov. 15 in Washington or Nov. 16 in Miami, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports. Capela is missing a fourth straight game Monday against Denver due to a right ankle sprain, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. He'll presumably need to log 5-on-5 work before gaining clearance to play, though the Rockets haven't disclosed how far along the big man is in his rehab.
