Injury report
New Orleans Pelicans
- Trey Murphy IIIOut· back Nov 13Report updated ·
Report note
Murphy (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Nets. Murphy will miss a second consecutive game due to a knee issue. His next opportunity to get back on the court will come Friday against the Grizzlies. While Murphy remains on the shelf Wednesday, Saddiq Bey could stay in the starting lineup.
- Yves MissiOut· back Nov 16Report updated ·
Report note
Missi (knee) is out for Friday's game against Minnesota. Missi has been sidelined since picking up his injury Oct. 23. He remains without a timetable to return.
- Bennedict MathurinOut· back Nov 13Report updated ·
Report note
Mathurin has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets due to a right thumb sprain. Mathurin wasn't listed on the initial injury report, and the extent of the issue remains unclear. While he's not a major part of the regular rotation, Mathurin, Trey Murphy and Trendon Watford are all expected to be unavailable Wednesday, opening the door for Saddiq Bey, Herbert Jones and potentially Jordan Poole to play more minutes.
- Trendon WatfordOut· back Nov 13Report updated ·
Report note
Watford (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets. Watford continues to nurse a right ankle sprain. The forward lacks a concrete timetable for a return to the floor.
San Antonio Spurs
- Devin VassellOut· back Nov 13Report updated ·
Report note
Vassell (adductor) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports. Wednesday marks a second consecutive absence for Vassell due to an adductor injury. His void in the starting lineup paves the way for Julian Champagnie to draw a second straight start on the wing for the Spurs.
- Tobias HarrisOut· back Nov 19Report updated ·
Report note
Harris (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against Chicago, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports. With Harris still sidelined, San Antonio will rely more on Julian Champagnie. Harris has yet to make his Spurs debut this season, so his absence continues to leave minutes available on the wing until he is cleared to return.
- Jayden QuaintanceOut· back Dec 3
Report note
Quaintance has been around the team but has not yet been cleared for basketball activities, Matt Guzman of SI.com reports. The Spurs are expected to exercise extreme caution with the big man, as Quaintance suffered a torn ACL and meniscus with Arizona State in February 2025 before appearing in only four games with Kentucky last season due to severe complications and persistent swelling. The 19-year-old underwent a cleanup procedure on his meniscus in mid-July, and the Spurs will likely want him at 100 percent before ramping him up to basketball activities.
