Latest Injury News


Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) has been listed as questionable for Game 3 in the Western Conference semifinals versus the Timberwolves. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Jackson was injured early in the fourth quarter and immediately went back to the locker room and did not return. Before his injury, Jackson didn't make much of an impact, scoring only three points. However, with Jamal Murray and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also questionable, Jackson's injury is worth monitoring as the Nuggets could go into Game 3 shorthanded in the backcourt.


Mitchell Robinson sustained a stress injury to his left ankle and will be re-evaluated in 6-to 8-weeks. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Robinson appears to have re-injured the ankle he hurt earlier in the season. He is likely done for the postseason as a result. Precious Achiuwa should step into the backup role for the Knicks behind Isaiah Hartenstein.


Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) is out again for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Porter has been out for a while because of an ankle injury, and he will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game as well. He doesn't get much playing time even when active, so his absence shouldn't carry any major implications for fantasy purposes.


Rudy Gobert has been ruled out for Game 2 vs. Denver in the second round of the NBA playoffs. (Source: Dane Moore on X)

Fantasy Impact: Gobert was ruled out a little over an hour before tipoff. There was hope that Gobert would be able to play, but weather conditions prevented him from arriving in Denver on time. Naz Reid will likely start in his place.


Gary Harris will play in Game 7 against the Cavaliers on Sunday. (Source: Orlando Magic PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Harris had been listed as questionable, but will return after he was sidelined in Game 6. Jonathan Isaac started in his absence. It is unclear if the Magic will roll with a big lineup again with Isaac or have him return to his reserve role with Harris back in the lineup.


Kawhi Leonard has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Leonard will remain sidelined as the Clippers look to force a Game 7. Paul George and James Harden should continue to take on extended roles.


Terance Mann is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Mann played 32 minutes in the Clippers loss in Game 5. Norman Powell could take on some more minutes if Mann is sidelined.


Tim Hardaway Jr. has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Clippers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Hardaway will miss his second straight game for the Mavericks. Josh Green and Dante Exum should continue to see some more minutes in his absence.


Patrick Beverley is available for Thursday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Beverley was expected to play after being listed as probable. His role will likely take a small step back as Damian Lillard is expected to return.


Khris Middleton is available for Thursday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Middleton was expected to play. The Bucks are getting Damian Lillard back, but Middleton should still play a big role.


Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Antetokounmpo was able to workout on Thursday, but he was still considered a longshot to play. Bobby Portis should continue to take on a bigger role in his absence.


Damian Lillard is expected to make his return on Thursday against the Pacers. (Source: Chris Haynes on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lillard was out on the court during warmups, and is expected to return after he was sidelined in Game 5. Malik Beasley should return to his reserve role as a result.


Joel Embiid is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Embiid is no longer on the injury report due to migraines as he was ahead of Game 5. He should be good to go as the 76ers look to once again avoid elimination.


Jericho Sims is available for Thursday's game against the 49ers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Sims has yet to play in a game in this series for the Knicks.


Duncan Robinson (back) is available to play in Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Robinson will suit up for Miami on Wednesday. He's listed on the team's injury report because of a back injury, but they have already upgraded him to available for their major matchup against Boston. Jimmy Butler (knee) and Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) are both unavailable to play, so Robinson may see more work than usual in Miami's rotation.


Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) won't play in Wednesday's contest against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The rookie will miss Wednesday's game after injuring his hip in Miami's last contest. The exact severity of it is unknown at this point, but with Miami being down 3-1 and facing elimination, he may not see the court again this season. Jimmy Butler (knee) also remains out, so Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic are both likely to see increased minutes against Boston.


Haywood Highsmith (foot) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Highsmith is listed on Miami's injury report because of a foot injury that he's dealing with, but it's not considered serious and he will be available to play through it against Boston. Miami is currently down 3-1 in the series, so they will need him and several other players to perform very well if they want to avoid elimination.


Terry Rozier (neck) is still out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: A neck injury will leave Rozier sidelined again on Wednesday. That shouldn't be a surprise to fantasy managers, as he hasn't taken the court since early April due to that issue. Delon Wright will continue to see increased minutes while the veteran is sidelined again.


Jimmy Butler (knee) remains out for Wednesday night's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: As expected, Butler will miss yet another game because of a knee injury. Miami is currently down 3-1 against the #1 seed Celtics, so it looks like they could be facing elimination in his absence. Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic will both continue to see more work while the star forward remains out.


Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) is listed as probable to play in Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Oubre is listed on Philadelphia's injury report because of an illness, but it's a minor issue and he is expected to play through it against New York. The team will need all the help that they can get from him, given that they are facing elimination on Tuesday.
