NBA Player News

Awaka (ankle) is active for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Awaka was probable to suit up versus Philadelphia with a sprained left ankle, but he's going to play through it for the second straight contest. He'll provide center depth on the bench behind starter Jalen Smith (finger), although Awaka isn't expected to see much playing time.

Claxton (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Claxton appears to be trending in the right direction after practicing Sunday, but he's not yet ready to make his 2026-27 debut. His next chance to play will arrive Wednesday against the Knicks.

Murray (personal) is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Murray remains away from the team due to the birth of his son. His next opportunity to return will come Wednesday against the Jazz. Jeremiah Fears should be in line for another start at point guard, with Murray and Jordan Poole (ankle) sidelined.

Barnes (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Barnes is dealing with left hip soreness and could miss the second leg of this back-to-back set. The star forward's potential absence would open up additional minutes for the likes of Collin Murray-Boyles, Jamison Battle and Allen Graves.

Hachimura (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors.

The 28-year-old forward will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set due to a left quadriceps contusion, and his next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Heat. With Hachimura and Derrick Jones both sidelined, Kobe Sanders, Baba Miller and Gradey Dick are all candidates for increased playing time, especially if Max Strus (foot) operates under a minutes restriction in his regular-season debut with the Clippers.

Strus (foot) will return Monday against the Raptors.

Strus, who has been sidelined since the preseason opener, officially has the green light to return following a brief G League stint. Given how long he was out, the Clippers are likely to ease him back into things.

Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Jones exited Sunday's loss to the Warriors and did not return due to a right knee injury. He's now listed on the injury report with right knee soreness, and the veteran forward's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Miami. In the meantime, Kobe Sanders, Baba Miller and Gradey Dick are candidates for increased playing time.

Williams (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.

Williams is dealing with a left quadriceps contusion and could sit out the back end of this back-to-back set. If the 26-year-old guard is unable to suit up, Will Richard and De'Anthony Melton could see increased burn.

Horford will be rested Monday against the Suns.

As expected, Horford will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set. Fortunately for the Warriors, Draymond Green (back) is set to return to the lineup.

Green (back) is available Monday against the Suns.

Green is no longer on the injury report after sitting out the front end of this back-to-back set. In his most recent outing against the Timberwolves, Green compiled three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 32 minutes.
