White (calf) is out for Wednesday's season opener against the Nets.

White is doing individual work at practice and isn't yet ready to return to game action with a calf strain. Until he's cleared to retake the court, Dennis Schroder figures to start at point guard for the Hornets and offer streaming appeal in most fantasy leagues.

Larsson (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Larsson sat out the Heat's last two preseason games due to an illness, though he's ready to go for the start of the regular season. The 25-year-old swingman took a step forward in the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.7 steals in 26.4 minutes per game across 70 regular-season appearances (54 starts). He figures to be one of the first men off the Heat's bench in 2026-27.

Adebayo (groin) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Adebayo missed the Heat's final three preseason games with right groin tightness, though the star big man is set to play in the team's regular-season opener. Over 73 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, he averaged 20.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.9 combined steals-plus-blocks in 32.4 minutes per contest. He's finished with regular-season averages of at least 18 points and nine rebounds per game in six straight years.

Smith (calf) is available for Wednesday's season opener versus Minnesota.

Smith has made good progress with a right calf strain and is ready to roll for Opening Night. He's set to be the No. 2 point guard off the bench behind Davion Mitchell on Wednesday.

Goldin is questionable for Wednesday's season opener against Minnesota with a right ankle sprain.

Goldin is in danger of missing the start of the new year. His status should have little to no effect on the Miami rotation Wednesday.

The Grizzlies exercised their third-year team option on Coward's contract Tuesday.

Coward is now officially under contract for the 2027-28 campaign after averaging 13.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 25.8 minutes per game across 62 regular-season appearances (47 starts) in his rookie season. The 23-year-old swingman will likely begin the 2026-27 season in the Grizzlies' starting five when they host the Jazz on Wednesday.

Memphis exercised Edey's team option Tuesday.

Edey is now officially under team control until at least 2028-29. The third-year big man is healthy this fall and set for a big role at center for the rebuilding Grizzlies.

Thiero (undisclosed) didn't practice Tuesday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Thiero missed Los Angeles' final two preseason outings and also sat out Monday's practice with an undisclosed injury. The Lakers will release their injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Golden State by Tuesday night, but for now, the 22-year-old can be considered questionable.

Carr (undisclosed) didn't practice Tuesday, per Law Murray of The Athletic.

The rookie guard continues to nurse a contusion. His status remains in the dark for Wednesday's season opener against the Warriors.

James (illness) participated in Tuesday's practice, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

James was excused from Monday's practice due to an illness, though he appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener against Golden State. However, the 22-year-old's absence wouldn't figure to impact the rotation.
