Estatísticas de jogadores e prévia: New Orleans Pelicans x San Antonio Spurs (17 de jan. de 2027)

Injury/Illness - Left Calf Strain (2026-11-15, SAS@UTA). Prior reporting (2026-11-10): 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.

Injury/Illness - Right Knee Surgery (2026-11-15, SAS@UTA). Prior reporting (2026-10-05): 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.

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-15, SAS@UTA).

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-15, SAS@UTA).

Murphy (knees) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets. Murphy will miss a fourth straight game as he continues to battle bilateral patellar tendinopathy. His next opportunity to return to the court will come Monday against the Warriors. Saddiq Bey should continue to work in an elevated role in the meantime.

Murray (ankle) is out for Friday's game against Memphis. This was the expectation after the star guard requested a trade from the Pelicans earlier Friday. Given his standing with the club, Murray can be tentatively considered doubtful for future contests while New Orleans tries to find him another home.

McGowens (elbow) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets. McGowens will miss his second game in as many days while continuing to deal with a left elbow infection. He'll have another chance to return to action Monday against the Warriors.

Mathurin is out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets due to left plantar fasciitis. Mathurin will miss a second game of the Pelicans' last three, leaving New Orleans without a key second-unit scorer. Mathurin is averaging 5.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 15.3 minutes per game so far. His next chance to suit up will come Monday at home against the Warriors.

Watford (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Denver. Watford will miss a fourth consecutive game Saturday due to a right ankle sprain, and it remains unknown how far away he is from returning.
