Brooklyn Nets injury report
G League - Two-Way (2026-11-01, BKN@IND). Prior reporting (2026-10-25): Bilodeau (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Indiana. Bilodeau will miss a third straight game to begin the regular season due to a right shoulder sprain. The two-way player's absence shouldn't affect the rotation.
Expected back 6 Nov
Injury/Illness - Right Bone Bruise (2026-11-01, BKN@IND). Prior reporting (2026-10-29): The Nets exercised Demin's third-year team option for the 2027-28 season, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports Thursday. Brooklyn's decision keeps Demin under contract through the 2027-28 campaign as the organization continues investing in its young backcourt. The move provides additional long-term stability but doesn't directly impact his immediate fantasy outlook. Demin is currently dealing with a right leg bone bruise and is scheduled to be re-evaluated in one week.
Expected back 7 Nov
Injury/Illness - Back, Injury Management (2026-11-01, BKN@IND). Prior reporting (2026-10-31): Brown (rest) is out for Sunday's game in Indiana. Brown will skip the first leg of this upcoming back-to-back set, but he should return for Monday's game in New York. With Brown inactive, there will be more minutes available for Nolan Traore, Terance Mann and Keon Ellis.
Expected back 2 Nov
G League - On Assignment (2026-11-01, BKN@IND).

New York Knicks injury report
Alvarado (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Philadelphia. Alvarado will miss a fourth straight game with a left ankle sprain, and it's not a positive sign that he's being ruled out a day before tipoff. He can be considered week-to-week until the Knicks offer an update on his status. Tyler Kolek will likely continue seeing increased burn in Alvarado's absence.
Expected back 4 Nov
