  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Unavailable Monday

    Queta has been ruled out for Monday's game against Washington due to right foot soreness.

    Queta hasn't yet seen any playing time during the regular season, and he'll be unable to suit up Monday due to his foot injury. His next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the Pacers.

  • Zach Collins C | CHI

    Spurs' Zach Collins: Unimpressive in loss

    Collins racked up nine points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists over 25 minutes during Sunday's 123-83 loss to the Clippers.

    Collins co-led San Antonio in assists and might have deserved more if not for his teammates shooting a lowly 37.7 percent shooting from the field. The Spurs trailed by 30 points from the third quarter onward, which contributed to Collins' lessened workload. He'll look to piece together a stronger outing Tuesday versus Phoenix.

  • Chet Holmgren PF | OKC

    Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Top scorer in blowout loss

    Holmgren registered 19 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and four rebounds over 26 minutes during Sunday's 128-95 loss to the Nuggets.

    Holmgren led all Thunder players in scoring while tallying his highest point total of the young season. Holmgren has posted 10 or more points in all three of the Thunder's contests thus far, averaging 13.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 blocks and 2.5 assists in 27.3 minutes per game.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Nears 30 points in double-double

    Jokic supplied 28 points (12-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes during Sunday's 128-95 win over the Thunder.

    Jokic led all players in scoring and rebounds while finishing with a double-double performance, his third game of at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in as many games. Jokic recorded 22 of his 28 points in the first half and has now tallied at least 22 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in every appearance this year.

  • Pistons' James Wiseman: Probable Monday

    Wiseman (finger) is probable for Monday's game against the Thunder due to a left digit sprain.

    It's unclear whether Wiseman is dealing with a finger or toe injury, but he'll likely be able to suit up against Oklahoma City. However, his status shouldn't impact the Pistons' rotation.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Available Sunday

    Embiid (rest) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Derek Bodner of DailySix.com reports.

    Embiid was listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup due to rest purposes, but he participated in pregame warmups and will be available for the 76ers' home opener. He tallied 34 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and a steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's win over Toronto.

  • Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Listed as questionable

    Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Celtics.

    Gafford briefly left Saturday's game due to the injury, but he returned to start the second half and finished the contest without a setback. However, it appears Washington will still proceed with caution. If Gafford is sidelined, Mike Muscala and Danilo Gallinari would be candidates for increased playing time.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Won't play Monday

    Claxton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Charlotte, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

    Claxton was considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's matchup, but he didn't practice Sunday and is still wearing a walking boot to protect his sprained left ankle, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post. The center will miss a second straight game Monday, and he looks like he may face an uphill battle to be available for Wednesday's game in Miami. Cameron Johnson (calf) will also remain out Monday, opening up spots in the starting five for Cam Thomas and Dorian Finney-Smith once again.

  • Raptors' Christian Koloko: Remains out

    Koloko (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Portland, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Koloko remains sidelined due to a respiratory condition. His next chance to make his season debut will arrive Wednesday against the Bucks.

  • Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Misses practice Sunday

    Gafford (ankle) did not participate in Sunday's practice after suffering an ankle sprain in Saturday's win over Memphis, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    Gafford played through the injury Saturday, logging his normal workload to the final buzzer. Gafford was uncertain of his availability for Monday's game against the Celtics, and Washington would be extremely shorthanded without him. Mike Muscala and Danilo Gallinari would handle the majority of minutes at center if Gafford misses time.
