Boston Celtics injury report
Injury/Illness - Illness (2026-11-01, BOS@ORL). Prior reporting (2026-10-18): Carter has been diagnosed with mononucleosis and is without a timetable for a return, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports. Carter missed Boston's final three preseason games with the illness and is now expected to miss time to begin the regular season. He can be considered week-to-week until Boston provides an update on his progress. The 2024 first-rounder signed a two-way pact with the Celtics on Saturday and will provide backcourt depth for the club.
Expected back 8 Nov
Rest (2026-11-01, BOS@ORL). Prior reporting (2026-11-01): Robinson (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic. Robinson has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss the first half of Boston's upcoming back-to-back set. He'll likely be able to suit up Monday in Houston.
Expected back 2 Nov
Houston Rockets injury report
Injury/Illness - Right Soleus Strain (2026-11-02, BOS@HOU). Prior reporting (2026-10-26): Head coach Ime Udoka said Monday that Adams could be out "a week or two" due to his right soleus strain, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports. The veteran big man can be considered week-to-week until the Rockets offer another update on his status. In the meantime, Clint Capela will likely see increased playing time behind Alperen Sengun.
Expected back 9 Nov

Injury/Illness - Low Back Strain (2026-11-02, BOS@HOU). Prior reporting (2026-11-01): Sheppard (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics. Sheppard is in danger of missing his fourth game of the 2026-27 campaign. With Fred VanVleet (knee) not listed on the injury report, Marcus Smart could continue to be more involved than usual if Sheppard can't suit up Monday.
Expected back 2 Nov
Injury/Illness - Right Ankle Sprain (2026-11-02, BOS@HOU). Prior reporting (2026-11-01): Capela (ankle) is questionable to play in Monday's game against the Celtics. Capela is dealing with a sprained right ankle that has him questionable to suit up versus Boston. With Steven Adams (calf) already ruled out, Oscar Tshiebwe would likely absorb backup minutes behind Alperen Sengun if Capela is sidelined.
