Injury report

San Antonio Spurs

  • David JonesQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Jones Garcia is set for his second season with San Antonio in 2026-27, though most of his action is likely to come with the G League's Austin Spurs. He underwent ankle surgery in February, so it's unclear if Jones Garcia will be ready for full participation in training camp this fall.

New Orleans Pelicans

  • Bryce McGowensProbable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    McGowens will miss the final game of the 2025-26 season, though to be fair, he hasn't played for the Pelicans since March 8 due to a fractured toe. He appeared in 42 games for New Orleans and made 13 starts, averaging 8.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 21.0 minutes per game.
