Marcus SmartSuspended· back Nov 18Report updated · Nov 14, 12:00 AM
Report note
Smart has been suspended three games for throwing a punch during Wednesday's matchup against Golden State, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Smart, who was ejected from Wednesday's game for punching Charles Bassey, will begin serving his suspension Friday night against the Jazz, meaning he'll be eligible to return Wednesday versus Indiana. Bruce Thornton and Reed Sheppard should be in line for more minutes while Smart serves his three-game ban.
Steven AdamsOut· back Nov 15Report updated · Oct 25, 5:20 PM
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 · Nov 6, 3:20 PM
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.

Paul GeorgeDay to day· back Nov 15Report updated · Nov 11, 11:00 PM
Report note
George (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Toronto, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. George will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set due to an illness, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Mavericks. With the veteran forward sidelined, Baylor Scheierman, Sam Hauser and Hugo Gonzalez are all candidates to see increased playing time.
