Injury report

Miami Heat

  • Giannis AntetokounmpoProbable· back Nov 14Report updated ·
    Report note

    Injury/Illness - Right Wrist Sprain (2026-11-14, DET@MIA). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Antetokounmpo (wrist) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against Detroit. Antetokounmpo has been a mainstay on the injury report of late with a right wrist sprain, though he's expected to play in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The superstar forward is coming off a 37-point effort and has averaged 28.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.1 combined steals-plus-blocks per game through six outings in November.

  • Pelle LarssonDoubtful· back Nov 14Report updated ·
    Report note

    Injury/Illness - Illness (2026-11-14, DET@MIA). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Larsson (illness) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against Detroit. Larsson is expected to miss a second consecutive contest due to an illness. If he's ultimately ruled out, Myron Gardner and Andrew Wiggins would be candidates to see increased playing time.

  • Klay ThompsonProbable· back Nov 14Report updated ·
    Report note

    Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Sprain (2026-11-14, DET@MIA). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Thompson (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Pistons. Thompson missed the front end of this back-to-back set due to a left ankle sprain, though he's trending toward playing Saturday. If the veteran sharpshooter is cleared to play, there would be fewer minutes available for the likes of Ryan Conwell, Tim Hardaway and Myron Gardner.

    G League - Two-Way (2026-11-14, DET@MIA).

Brooklyn Nets

  • Nolan TraoréProbable· back Nov 14Report updated ·
    Report note

    Injury/Illness - Right Calf Tightness / Soreness (2026-11-14, BKN@MEM). Prior reporting (2026-11-13): Traore (calf) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against Memphis. Traore appears on track to suit up despite dealing with discomfort in his right calf. The guard's expected availability should help Brooklyn maintain its backcourt depth, though his fantasy appeal remains dependent on his playing time and opportunities in the rotation. His status should be confirmed ahead of Saturday's tipoff.

  • Mikel Brown Jr.Probable· back Nov 14Report updated ·
    Report note

    Injury/Illness - Illness (2026-11-14, BKN@MEM). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Brown (illness) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's game at Memphis. After initially being listed as questionable due to an illness, Brown is trending in the right direction following a two-game absence. The rookie guard's return would leave fewer minutes available for Keon Ellis and Terance Mann. Brown has averaged 15.2 points, 3.8 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 24.6 minutes per tilt over his last five outings.
