Latest Injury News

Fantasy Impact: Conley's late add is of some concern, as there has not been any other indication that he may miss Tuesday's game. If Conley is unable to play, Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely see increased playing time.


Isaiah Hartenstein is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Hartenstein appeared to injure his shoulder in Sunday's loss against Indiana. He underwent X-Rays that came back negative and appears to be fully good to go with him not landing on the injury report.


Jalen Brunson is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The ankle injury has appeared to impact the game of Brunson, at least to some degree as of late. He continues to play it off though in press conferences and should remain in his usual role where he'll be needed more than ever at home on Tuesday.


OG Anunoby has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: It does not appear that Anunoby is close to returning. The best case scenario appears to be a possible return if the series goes to Game 7.


Tyrese Haliburton is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Despite being on the injury report with three different injuries, Haliburton should still be good to go for the Pacers in a pivotal game with the series tied 2-2.


Jamal Murray is questionable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Murray remains on the injury report with a left calf strain. He should remain in his usual role nonetheless for the Nuggets.


Luka Doncic is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Doncic continues to land on the injury report for multiple reasons. He should continue to play through the injuries in his usual role.


Luke Kornet is probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Kornet lands on the injury report with the same injury that sidelined him earlier in the playoffs. He should remain in his usual role.


Donovan Mitchell is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Mitchell is on the injury report, but it would be a surprise if he does not play. His status is worth monitoring nonetheless.


Jarrett Allen is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Allen last played in Game 4 of last round's series against Orlando. Isaac Okoro figures to remain in the starting lineup for as long as Allen is sidelined.


Julian Phillips told reporters he finished up the rehab process on his right foot injury and is back to working out. (Source: Cody Westerlund on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The knee injury cut Phillips rookie season short this past year. He added that he is back to 100 percent health. He could hold a bigger role next season depending on how the roster shakes out for Chicago.


Jalen Williams exited Game 3 versus the Mavericks towards the end of the third quarter with an apparent left leg injury. He returned to the bench after a brief visit to the locker room, then checked back in the game shortly after his return. (Source: Tim McMahon on X)

Fantasy Impact: Williams has been a key contributor to the Thunder when he's remained healthy. Since he was able to return to the game, it bodes well for his status moving forward, but it worth keeping an eye on the practice reports for Game 4.


Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (abdominal contusion) is listed as questionable for Game 3 in the Western Conference semifinals against the Timberwolves. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Caldwell-Pope is a solid role player that hasn't been as effective recently, but he has averaged 32 minutes per game this series. Teammates Jamal Murray and Reggie Jackson are also listed as questionable, so it looks like the Nuggets may need to go further into their rotation to fill in valuable minutes provided by KCP and his other questionable teammates. Christian Braun and Justin Holiday may see increased minutes if KCP or either one of his teammates misses Game 3.


Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) has been listed as questionable for Game 3 in the Western Conference semifinals versus the Timberwolves. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Jackson was injured early in the fourth quarter and immediately went back to the locker room and did not return. Before his injury, Jackson didn't make much of an impact, scoring only three points. However, with Jamal Murray and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also questionable, Jackson's injury is worth monitoring as the Nuggets could go into Game 3 shorthanded in the backcourt.


Olivier-Maxence Prosper has been ruled out for Game 2 versus the Thunder with a left ankle sprain. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Prosper has been out with an ankle injury since late April. He has played in forty Mavericks games this season, but only averages 8.4 minutes per game and isn't a huge difference-maker at this point in his career. However, gaining any playoff experience would be helpful to his overall development as a player. The next chance he has to suit up will be May 11th for Game 3 versus the Thunder.

Maxi Kleber has been ruled out for Game 2 on Thursday against the Thunder. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Kleber is expected to miss a good chunk of time due to the shoulder injury he suffered in the first round. He will be re-evaluated in about 3 weeks, but in the meantime, teammates Derrick Jones and Daniel Gafford will likely see increased playing time.


Mitchell Robinson sustained a stress injury to his left ankle and will be re-evaluated in 6-to 8-weeks. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Robinson appears to have re-injured the ankle he hurt earlier in the season. He is likely done for the postseason as a result. Precious Achiuwa should step into the backup role for the Knicks behind Isaiah Hartenstein.


Craig Porter Jr. (ankle) is out again for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Porter has been out for a while because of an ankle injury, and he will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game as well. He doesn't get much playing time even when active, so his absence shouldn't carry any major implications for fantasy purposes.


Rudy Gobert has been ruled out for Game 2 vs. Denver in the second round of the NBA playoffs. (Source: Dane Moore on X)

Fantasy Impact: Gobert was ruled out a little over an hour before tipoff. There was hope that Gobert would be able to play, but weather conditions prevented him from arriving in Denver on time. Naz Reid will likely start in his place.


Gary Harris will play in Game 7 against the Cavaliers on Sunday. (Source: Orlando Magic PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Harris had been listed as questionable, but will return after he was sidelined in Game 6. Jonathan Isaac started in his absence. It is unclear if the Magic will roll with a big lineup again with Isaac or have him return to his reserve role with Harris back in the lineup.
