Williams (hamstring) won't play Friday against the Thunder.

Williams continues to miss time to open the 2024-25 regular season while recovering form a left hamstring strain. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Saturday in Phoenix.

Filipowski will start at power forward Thursday night against the Spurs, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Filipowski is set to make his first NBA start after news broke that Lauri Markkanen (back) wouldn't suit up Thursday. The rookie center looked sharp in his last appearance Tuesday against the Kings, tallying 12 points, eight boards, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes.

Davis is probable for Friday's game against the Raptors

Davis appears to have suffered a minor hip injury during Wednesday's loss to the Cavs, but it's unlikely to keep him from Friday's clash. He'll likely test out his hip during morning shootaround before the team comments further on his availability.

Head coach Jason Kidd stated Kleber (hamstring) is doing well in his recovery but wouldn't speak on whether the center would return during the team's current home stand, Noah Weber of The Smoking Cuban reports.

The Mavs have four more games after Thursday on the current home stand, so the fact that Kidd is unwilling to commit to a return during that time likely means Kleber will miss at least a few more contests. Dereck Lively and Dwight Powell should handle the majority of the backup center minutes until Kleber returns.

Adams (knee) will play Thursday night against the Mavericks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Adams was added to the injury report as questionable due to a knee issue, but he's been given the green light to suit up in Dallas. He made his season debut Monday, finishing with six points and three rebounds in 14 minutes off the bench.

Theis (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers.

Theis departed Wednesday's matchup with Golden State early after suffering a right ankle injury, and the issue could force him to miss additional time. He'll likely be re-evaluated Friday during morning shootaround and leading up to tipoff to determine his availability.

Aldama is starting Thursday night's game against the Bucks.

Aldama will make his fourth start of the season while a good chunk of the Memphis roster works to get healthy. He put together a strong showing in his last start Monday against the Bulls, finishing with 11 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 35 minutes.

Markkanen (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Markkanen experienced back spasms during Tuesday's game against Sacramento and was forced to leave early, and the team appears to be playing it safe by giving him a few extra days to recover. John Collins and Kyle Filipowski are candidates to start at power forward Thursday in Markkanen's absence.

Antetokounmpo (knee) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Grizzlies, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

Antetokoumpo was initially added to the injury report as probable due to right patella tendinitis, and the club has since given him the green light to suit up for Thursday's matchup. He's coming off his second 30-point outing of the season and will aim to get the Bucks back on track following three consecutive losses.

Gordon is probable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to a bruised right knee.

This is the first mention of a knee injury for Gordon after he dropped 24 points Tuesday against Brooklyn, though it doesn't appear as though it'll force him to miss any time. Expect clarity on his availability closer to Friday's tipoff.

Matkovic was recalled from the Birmingham Squadron on Thursday.

The Pelicans are dealing with a variety of injuries early on in the season, so the team has elected to add depth in the form of Matkovic and Antonio Reeves. Matkovic has seen limited playing time so far this year for New Orleans, logging five minutes in two appearances.

Towns is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pistons due to a sprained left wrist.

Despite scoring 44 points, Towns appears to have sprained his wrist against Miami. If Towns is ruled out against Detroit, Jericho Sims will likely see increased playing time.

Wells is starting Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Wells will draw his first NBA start due to the absences of Marcus Smart (ankle), Luke Kennard (foot), Desmond Bane (oblique) and Vince Williams (lower leg) to name a few. Wells should see significant playing time Thursday in the backcourt along with Scotty Pippen and Yuki Kawamura.

Cancar is probable for Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to a right ankle sprain, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Cancar hasn't suited up in three games due to his current role in the rotation, so even if he is cleared to play ahead of Friday's clash, he's unlikely to see many chances. The 27-year-old has appeared in one game this season, recording one rebound in two minutes Oct. 24 against OKC.

Hunter (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus the Kings.

Hunter will miss his fourth straight contest Friday while dealing with a right knee injury. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with New Orleans.

Thompson (illness) won't play in Friday's game versus the Knicks.

Thompson has yet to suit up this season while returning to competition condition after dealing with blood clots. The second-year forward will need to be medically cleared before ultimately suiting up.

Hauser (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus Charlotte.

Hauser will likely suit up for his second straight contest Friday despite dealing with a lower back injury. In his most recent outing, Hauser recorded five points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 14 minutes.

Bogdanovic (foot) is out for Friday's game versus the Bulls, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Bogdanovic has yet to suit up this season while recovering from left foot surgery. The veteran forward's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Detroit.

Konchar (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Konchar didn't appear to be trending in the right direction ahead of tipoff, so this update was somewhat expected. His next chance to run the floor will arrive Saturday in Philly.

Konchar (quadriceps) is unlikely to play Thursday night against the Bucks, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.

Konchar remains officially questionable on the team's injury report due to a right bruised quad, but head coach Taylor Jenkins stated 90 minutes before tipoff that the guard is unlikely to suit up. Look for Scotty Pippen and Yuki Kawamura to get more run than usual if Konchar is officially ruled out.

Reeves was recalled from the Birmingham Squadron on Thursday.

Reeves was assigned to the Pelicans' G League affiliate on Monday, but he'll return to the NBA club ahead of Friday's matchup with the Pacers as the team is managing a number of injuries to the backcourt. Reeves could see playing time behind Jose Alvarado at point guard with CJ McCollum (thigh) already ruled out for Friday's game.

Hawkins is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers due to lower back spasms.

Hawkins entered the starting lineup Wednesday against the Warriors and fared well, but his status is now in jeopardy for Friday. The Uconn product dealt with back spasms earlier in the week and was able to push through to suit up, so it appears he'll have a decent chance to do so again Friday barring any setbacks.

Jones (shoulder) won't play during Friday's game versus the Pacers.

Jones will miss his second straight contest while dealing with a right shoulder injury. With CJ McCollum (adductor) also sidelined, Jose Alvarado (back), Jordan Hawkins and Javonte Green should receive increased playing time.

Daniels (hip) is out for Friday's game versus the Kings.

Daniels will miss his second straight contest Friday while dealing with a right hip strain. David Roddy, Keaton Wallace and Zaccharie Risacher should continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Daniels' next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with New Orleans.

Collier (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against San Antonio.

Collier will need to wait a little longer to make his 2024-25 debut after being ruled out yet again with a right hamstring strain. His next chance to run the floor will arrive Saturday in Denver.

McCollum (thigh) won't play Friday against the Pacers.

McCollum was held out of Wednesday's clash due to a right adductor injury, and the issue will force him to miss another game. Look for Jose Alvarado to draw the start at point guard Friday in McCollum's absence.

Nembhard (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pelicans.

Nembhard played just five minutes Wednesday due to left knee tendinitis and is now in danger of missing Friday's contest. If Nembhard is unable to suit up against New Orleans, Ben Sheppard and Bennedict Mathurin are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Porter (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Magic.

Porter is expected to miss his third straight contest Friday while dealing with a right thumb sprain. However, the 24-year-old guard being listed as doubtful instead of out initially could indicate that he is nearing a return to action.

Russell (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Raptors.

Russell is expected to suit up Friday despite dealing with lower back soreness. In his most recent outing, the 28-year-old guard tallied 10 points, five assists and three rebounds in 24 minutes.

Quickley (pelvis) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Quickley is expected to miss his fifth straight contest Friday while dealing with a pelvis injury. If Quickley is officially ruled out, Davion Mitchell and Jamal Shead should continue to receive increased playing time.
