NBA: tonight's in, out, and still-a-maybe list
82 games a team means the NBA status board never sleeps. We read the league injury report the way a fan would want it read back: short, clear, and honest about what is still unknown.
Latest NBA Status Board
Injury report →
Dallas Mavericks · PG
The name on every trade list, and the least likely to move. Dallas has told teams since June it won't even field calls about him. Powell, Herro and Porter lead the 10-player trade board.
Minnesota Timberwolves · G · vs Golden State Warriors
Status for Wednesday vs Golden State is not yet verified. He was listed questionable for Monday at Cleveland with right-knee injury maintenance.
New Orleans Pelicans · C · vs Denver Nuggets
Started Saturday in Denver with Yves Missi out with a left knee bone bruise. Wednesday's rematch starter depends on Missi's knee.
Chicago Bulls · G · at Milwaukee Bucks
Listed as probable with a left wrist sprain on the NBA injury report, so the working call is that he plays Friday.
Cleveland Cavaliers · C · vs Philadelphia 76ers
Listed as questionable with right patellar tendinopathy. Cleveland's big-man minutes change a lot if he sits.
Chicago Bulls · C
Listed as out with a left hamstring strain on the Bulls injury report.
Board based on the NBA injury report as covered on Oct 23, 2026. NBA teams update status through the day, and a probable tag can change at shootaround.
How NBA status works
The report moves fast
NBA teams file injury reports through the day, not once a week like the NFL. A player can go from questionable at noon to out by tip-off.
Probable means probably
Probable players play most of the time. Questionable is the true toss-up. Doubtful players almost never suit up.
Rest is a status too
On the second night of back-to-back games, healthy stars sometimes sit to rest. We flag rest days the same way we flag injuries, because the answer fans need is the same: is he playing?
Where NBA games live now
NBA games this season run across ABC and ESPN, NBC and Peacock, and Prime Video, plus NBA League Pass for out-of-market games. Our Where to Watch page breaks down which service carries which night, so you are not guessing at tip-off.
Game-day status alerts, in plain words
One short email on game mornings: the big names who are in, the ones who are out, and the channel for each game. No noise.
