  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Posts massive line

    Sengun racked up 27 points (11-17 FG, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes during Sunday's 101-99 win over Detroit.

    Sengun recorded his seventh double-double of the campaign as the Rockets improved to 6-4 on the season. He's had a strong showing in November so far, producing averages of 18.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.6 blocks on 55.1 percent shooting over his last five games. He's been cold from deep, however, missing all six of his three-point attempts in that span.

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Will miss at least eight weeks

    Holmgren suffered a right iliac hip fracture during Sunday's loss to the Warriors, and a return to play protocol will be provided in 8-to-10 weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Holmgren played five minutes and recorded four rebounds before leaving Sunday's contest after attempting to block Andrew Wiggins. Isaiah Joe started the second half in place of Holmgren, but the Thunder likely need to add some height to the rotation eventually, especially with Isaiah Hartenstein (hamstring), Kenrich Williams (knee) and Jaylin Williams (hamstring) also sidelined. In their absences, Aaron Wiggins, Dillon Jones and Ousmane Dieng could carve out larger roles, but in the end, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams will need to step their respective games up to help mitigate the loss of Holmgren, whose 2.6 blocks per game was fueling the Thunder's top-rated defense early in the season.

    Lakers' Anthony Davis: Leaves early with left eye injury

    Davis won't return to Sunday's game against the Raptors due to a left eye injury, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports. He'll finish with 22 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 25 minutes.

    Davis left Sunday's contest in the third quarter after getting poked in the eye on a block attempt. The severity of the injury remains unclear at this point, but it should be noted that Davis dealt with a corneal abrasion to the same eye on two occasions last season. The Lakers will have two days off before returning to action Wednesday versus the Grizzlies.

    Lakers' Anthony Davis: Heads to locker room Sunday

    Davis (face) went back to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Raptors after taking a blow to the face, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Davis exited the game in the third quarter after taking an inadvertent shot to the face. If he is unable to return, Jaxson Hayes will likely pick up minutes at the center position.

    Suns' Jusuf Nurkic: Won't return Sunday

    Nurkic will not return to Sunday's game against the Kings due to an ankle injury, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

    Nurkic came into the game with an ankle injury which he seemingly aggravated before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Nurkic will finish with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes of action.

  • Jaxson Hayes C | UTA

    Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Good to go Sunday

    Hayes (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

    Hayes carried a probable designation into Sunday's contest due to left knee soreness, but he will officially be available. In his last four games off the bench, Hayes has averaged 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 14.8 minutes per game.

    Lakers' Anthony Davis: Available Sunday

    Davis (foot) will play during Sunday's game against the Raptors.

    Davis has been dealing with plantar fasciitis of late but he will be able to suit up Sunday. Considering Davis was able to play 35 minutes in the team's last contest, there should be no limitations on the star big man.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Won't return Sunday

    Holmgren (hip) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Warriors, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

    Holmgren was helped to the locker room in the first quarter after landing on his right hip while attempting a block on Andrew Wiggins. Given the hard fall, it wouldn't be surprising if Holmgren is held out Monday against the Clippers. Isaiah Joe was inserted into the Thunder's starting five in the second half in Holmgren's absence.

  • Grizzlies' Colin Castleton: Available Sunday

    Castleton (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

    Castleton carried a questionable tag into Sunday's bout due to a left ankle sprain, but he will ultimately be able to suit up. His availability likely holds no fantasy implications.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Leaves game with leg injury

    Holmgren (leg) went to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Warriors, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

    Holmgren hit the floor hard after attempting a block on Andrew Wiggins in the first quarter of Sunday's game. He wasn't able to put any pressure on his leg, and he was eventually helped back to the locker room by Isaiah Hartenstein (hand). If Holmgren is sidelined for the rest of Sunday's game, Ousmane Dieng would figure to see more minutes at center.
