Reid (illness) is active for Monday's game against the Wizards.

Reid was listed as probable heading into Monday's contest against Washington after battling an illness over the weekend. He'll continue operating as the starting power forward for the 2-1 Hornets.

Wallace has been diagnosed with a torn labrum in his left shoulder and will require surgery, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Although Wallace's return timetable has yet to be determined, Charania notes the guard is expected miss most of, if not all, of the rest of the season. It's been a brutal day for the Thunder, who also lost Jalen Williams (ankle) on Monday and will need Ajay Mitchell, Jared McCain and Alex Caruso each to step up for the foreseeable future.

Murray (ankle) will be re-evaluated in 10-to-14 days, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Murray has officially been diagnosed with left ankle capsulitis, and he's set to miss at least the next 10 days. Precious Achiuwa has been starting in Murray's absence, and he should continue to see opportunities, as should De'Andre Hunter and Daeqwon Plowden.

Harris (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Harris is still ramping up from a left calf strain and will miss a fourth consecutive contest to begin the regular season. His next opportunity to make his season debut will come Wednesday at Utah in the second leg of this back-to-back set. Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson will likely continue seeing increased playing time while Harris is sidelined.

Edwards (knee) is available for Monday's game against Cleveland.

The Timberwolves were considering a maintenance day for the superstar guard, but Edwards is suiting up for the second end of this back-to-back set. He should be able to handle a normal workload Monday, barring any setbacks.

Dybantsa, who has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hornets, is progressing well from a left ankle sprain and will take part in on-court activities Tuesday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Dybantsa hasn't been cleared to make his NBA debut after picking up a left ankle sprain in the team's preseason finale. However, he's trending in the right direction according to coach Brian Keefe, hinting that a return either Wednesday against Cleveland or Friday against Charlotte could be on the table. Washington should have another update on the rookie's status after he goes through practice Tuesday.

Williams (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Williams is in line for a second straight absence due to right groin/adductor soreness. He's yet to appear in a game this season for Chicago even when healthy.

Essengue (head) is available for Monday's game against Boston.

Essengue was held out of Saturday's clash against Washington after being diagnosed with a head contusion, but the issue won't force him to miss any additional action. He's totaled five points, four rebounds, one assist, three steals and one blocks in 27 total minutes through his first two appearances of the 2026-27 campaign.

Joe (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Joe remains day-to-day after failing to return to Sunday's game against the 76ers. If he is unavailable for the front end of this back-to-back set, the team could rely more on Ronald Holland, Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green.

Thompson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against New York.

Thompson is in danger of missing a second straight game due to the right ankle sprain he sustained in Friday's win over Miami. If the 23-year-old swingman is ruled out, Daniss Jenkins, Javonte Green and Kevin Huerter would likely see additional minutes, especially if Isaiah Joe (hip) is also downgraded from questionable to out.
