NBA Player News

Murphy (knee) will play Monday against the Grizzlies.

Murphy is no longer on the injury report after previously carrying a probable tag. Through six regular-season games, he's averaging 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 dimes.

Irving (knee) is now doubtful for Monday against the Kings.

The Mavericks originally listed Irving as questionable, but he's expected to miss his second game of the season. The team will be hoping he's ready to return Wednesday against San Antonio. Walter Clayton and Marcus Sasser could see extra run in Irving's expected absence.

The Wizards announced Monday that Beekman sustained a right acromioclavicular joint injury and will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks.

Beekman is set for an extended absence, with his re-evaluation timeline suggesting he could remain sidelined beyond the initial three-week window. The injury further limits Washington's backcourt depth, though Beekman's absence is unlikely to have a significant impact on standard fantasy leagues.

McConnell (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Hawks and remains week-to-week.

There haven't been many updates on McConnell's progress, though he did practice with the Noblesville Boom on Saturday. Quenton Jackson is likely to see extended run in the meantime.

Zubac (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Zubac is slated to miss a fifth straight game due to an ankle sprain, and while the Pacers were optimistic about a quick return, it's fair to treat the big man as week-to-week now, given he continues to be ruled out on the team's initial injury report. In the starting center's absence, Jay Huff and Larry Nance (illness) have handled increased roles.

Gill (back) is out for Monday's game against the Magic.

Gill was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest. His absence is not expected to make any waves in the rotation.

Nance (illness) is doubtful for Monday against the Hawks.

Nance is usually not a big factor in the rotation, but his expected absence is a big blow this time around. The Pacers are going to be extremely thin at every position Monday.

Toppin (back) is questionable for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Toppin remains day-to-day after missing the first leg of this back-to-back set. The Pacers could give him extended run if he's cleared to play with so many regulars sidelined.

Nesmith (rest) is sitting out Monday against Atlanta.

The Pacers are holding him out for left hamstring injury management, but this is a maintenance day and not a setback for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Kelly Oubre and Jarace Walker could see hefty workloads with so many Pacers sitting out.

Nembhard (cervical strain) is out for Monday's game against Atlanta.

The Pacers are going to sit multiple key players for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Nembhard sidelined, Quenton Jackson could be set up for an extended workload.
