- Devin CarterOut
BOS · Illness · 2026-11-08
Carter missed Boston's final three preseason games with the illness and is now expected to miss time to begin the regular season. He can be considered week-to-week until Boston provides an update on his progress. The 2024 first-rounder signed a two-way pact with the Celtics on Saturday and will provide backcourt depth for the club.
- Jett HowardDay-To-Day
DAL · Illness · 2026-10-21
Howard will miss another preseason contest due to an illness. However, he should be ready to go for Opening Night against the Rockets, barring a setback.
- Bronny JamesDay-To-Day
LAL · Illness · 2026-10-21
James is battling an illness. His status is now in limbo for Wednesday's season opener against the Warriors, but James isn't expected to be in the rotation in any case.
- Pelle LarssonDay-To-Day
MIA · Illness · 2026-10-21
Larsson sat out Miami's final two preseason games due to an illness, but this is the second practice he's completed, so he's trending in the right direction. We'll get another update Tuesday when the Heat release their official injury report for Wednesday's season opener against the Timberwolves.
