Claxton (hamstring) participated in individual drills Monday morning and hopes to join the team for practice next week, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The Bulls reported one week ago that the big man would be re-evaluated in two weeks, so he appears to be right on track with his recovery from a hamstring injury. He'll presumably need to take part in 5-on-5 drills before getting the green light to return to game action.

Cardwell (calf) will be re-evaluated in one week, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Cardwell is progressing well in his recovery from a calf strain. Precious Achiuwa should remain worth streaming in all fantasy leagues for the banged-up Kings in the meantime.

Raynaud (knee) is progressing in his rehabilitation and will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Raynaud's absence is expected to extend into mid-November due to a right patellar subluxation. With Dylan Cardwell (calf) set to miss at least one more week, Precious Achiuwa, Jonathan Mogbo and De'Andre Hunter are candidates for increased minutes in the frontcourt.

Sorber (knee) is out for Monday's game versus the Suns, per Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic.

It appeared earlier Monday on the Thunder's injury report that Sorber was ready to make his season debut, but it was a clerical error. Sorber's return timeline remains in the dark due to offseason knee surgery.

Edey (ankle) is off the injury report for Monday's game versus Utah.

This was the expectation after Edey sat out the first part of this back-to-back set for maintenance reasons. The Grizzlies appear to be easing the big man into a full workload after he missed the start of training camp due to ankle and elbow surgeries, as Edey has yet to transcend 22 minutes in either of his first two regular-season appearances.

Hayes is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to right shoulder soreness, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Hayes could be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set after posting nine points, five rebounds, a steal and an assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Lakers. If the big man joins Jusuf Nurkic (foot) on the inactive list, Kyle Filipowski and Mo Bamba would be candidates to see increased minutes off the bench.

Ighodaro (oblique) is out for Monday's matchup with the Thunder.

Ighodaro remains sidelined with an oblique strain. Khaman Maluach should continue to start at center for the Suns and offer enhanced fantasy value as long as Ighodaro is out.

Sorber (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Suns.

Sorber is no longer on the injury report for the Thunder. With how impressive Aday Mara has been in limited run, Sorber is unlikely to crack the rotation right away.

Zubac (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Bucks.

No surprises here after coach Rick Carlisle hinted at Zubac's absence following his injury Sunday night. The center is dealing with some swelling, but it's currently unclear how long this will sideline him for. Look for Jay Huff and possibly Larry Nance to pick up some minutes in the meantime.

Hartenstein supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 108-101 victory over the Clippers.

Hartenstein secured his first double-double of 2026-27 while playing his most minutes through three contests so far. Oklahoma City's starting center is averaging 7.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.7 steals in 22.3 minutes, and his playing time could increase slightly with Jaylin Williams (wrist) leaving Sunday's win in the first half.
