NBA Injury Report:  Week of November 28

Brooklyn:   Jeremy Lin missed his 11th straight game on Sunday due to his lingering hamstring injury.  He was not planning to be out for this long, and has been frustrating owners with being listed as day-to-day. The next opportunity for the Nets to feel comfortable playing Lin will be Tuesday night.  Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has re-aggravated his ankle that he fractured last season, and has missed the last two games.  Owners should wait for an updated report, but looks to be day-to-day heading into Tuesday's game.  

Charlotte:   Nicolas Batum is probable to play Monday night after being out of Saturday’s game with an eye abrasion.  Marvin Williams has been diagnosed with bone bruise on his left knee, and will be out for at least this week before being reevaluated again. 

Chicago:   Doug McDermott  is still feeling symptoms from his November 12th concussion, and will miss at least the next two games for the Bulls.  Michael Carter-Williams had a MRI done which revealed a significant wrist sprain, as well as a bone chip in his knee that will keep him out another 4-6 weeks.  

Cleveland:  Iman Shumpert tweaked his hamstring during last Friday’s game, and was held out on Sunday.  He is currently questionable for Tuesday night’s game against the Bucks.

Dallas:    Dirk Nowitzki finally returned to action to play two games, but was out for their latest game on Sunday due to his achilles.  Reports show that a full recovery for Dirk will take time, but will try to slowly work his way back to competing.  For now, consider Dirk questionable for Tuesday’s game.  J.J. Barea is still expected to be out until at least January after tearing a leg muscle in his leg during last Wednesday’s game.  Devin Harris has been out since October 23rd, but is scheduled to return this week.  The Mavs will more than likely ease him back to the court with a minutes restriction.

Denver:  Danilo Gallinari has missed Denver’s last three games with a sore thigh, and looks to return for their next game on Wednesday.  Will Barton’s ankle injury, and poor playing has kept him out of the Nugget’s last two games, and should be considered questionable for Wednesday’s game.

Detroit:  Reggie Bullock tore the meniscus in his left knee, and looks to be out at least for the next 4-6 weeks.. 

Golden State:  Both Draymond Green (ankle), and Ian Clark (throat) were held out of Saturday’s game, and are both listed as day-to-day heading into Monday night’s game.

Indiana:    Paul George has missed the past two games with a sore ankle, and will be out for Wednesday’s game as well.  He is hopeful to return December 4th after having the full week of rest.  C.J. Miles continues to be out with a knee injury, and is questionable for Wednesday’s game.  Glenn Robinson has filled in nicely while the above two have been out.

Los Angeles Lakers:  Julius Randle has now missed three straight games with a hip pointer.  He was a limited participant in Saturday’s practice, and should be considered questionable for Tuesday’s game.  D’Angelo Russell will be out for at least the next two weeks while rehabbing his injured knee. 

Miami:    Justise Winslow  continues to deal with a sprained wrist, and is out for Monday’s game against Boston.  Dion Waiters (groin), Goran Dragic (elbow), Wayne Ellington (quad), and Willie Reed (knee), are all questionable for Monday’s game, and if out, should be considered day-to-day moving forward. 

New Orleans:  Dante Cunningham will be sidelined for the next 4-6 weeks due to a fractured fibula that occurred while banging knees during their game on November 23rd. 

New York:  Lance Thomas is questionable for Monday’s game  after being out due to an ankle injury since November 12th. 

Orlando:  Jeff Green  is dealing with a sore lower back, and missed Sunday’s game.  Green should be considered doubtful for Tuesday’s game against the Spurs.

Philadelphia:   Joel Embiid will be out for rest purposes for Monday’s game after playing in Sunday’s game.  Jerryd Bayless is a game-time-decision for Monday night’s game after being out for Sunday’s game with a wrist injury.

Phoenix:   T.J. Warren said he will now be out for at least two weeks with a minor head injury, but hopes to start practicing again very soon.  Jared Dudley missed Sunday’s game with a left foot injury, and should be considered day-to-day moving forward.
