Memphis Grizzlies injury report
Injury/Illness - Right Ankle Sprain (2026-11-02, NOP@MEM). Prior reporting (2026-11-03): Post (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Pelicans. Post is set for a second consecutive absence while tending to a right ankle sprain. His next chance to return will arrive Wednesday against the Pacers.
Expected back 4 Nov
Injury/Illness - Low Back Soreness (2026-11-02, NOP@MEM). Prior reporting (2026-11-03): Pippen (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans. Pippen will miss a second consecutive contest due to lower-back soreness, with his next chance to suit up coming Wednesday against Indiana. Cam Spencer will likely see increased playing time off the bench with the 25-year-old sidelined.
Expected back 4 Nov
G League - Two-Way (2026-11-02, NOP@MEM).
Indiana Pacers injury report
Injury/Illness - Right Hamstring Strain (2026-11-02, ATL@IND). Prior reporting (2026-11-02): McConnell (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Hawks and remains week-to-week. There haven't been many updates on McConnell's progress, though he did practice with the Noblesville Boom on Saturday. Quenton Jackson is likely to see extended run in the meantime.
Expected back 9 Nov
Injury/Illness - Right ACL Repair / Surgery (2026-11-02, ATL@IND). Prior reporting (2026-10-30): Furphy (knee) is practicing with the G League's Noblesville Boom, per Alex Golden of SI.com. The Pacers have been pretty quiet regarding Furphy's ACL recovery since the offseason, but it's encouraging to hear some form of progress as the forward begins to ramp up his activity. Although Furphy still lacks a firm timetable for a return and is likely to be brought back slowly, it appears a season debut before the start of the new calendar year is in the cards.
Expected back 2 Jan
Injury/Illness - Left Meniscus Surgery (2026-11-02, ATL@IND). Prior reporting (2026-10-28): Head coach Rick Carlise confirmed Sheppard will miss "months" after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, Tony East of Forbes.com reports. Sheppard required a full repair and is without a definitive timetable for a return to action. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) expected to miss at least two weeks, Quenton Jackson figures to see a significant uptick in playing time. Two-way player Braden Smith could also see increased action with the parent club.
Expected back 2 Jan
Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Sprain (2026-11-02, ATL@IND). Prior reporting (2026-11-02): Zubac (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks. Zubac is slated to miss a fifth straight game due to an ankle sprain, and while the Pacers were optimistic about a quick return, it's fair to treat the big man as week-to-week, given he continues to be ruled out on the team's initial injury report. In the starting center's absence, Jay Huff and Larry Nance (illness) have handled increased roles.
Expected back 9 Nov
Injury/Illness - Left Hamstring Strain (2026-11-02, ATL@IND). Prior reporting (2026-10-28): Haliburton (hamstring) will miss at least the next two weeks of action, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Given the tricky nature of hamstring injuries, the Pacers will likely take their time bringing Haliburton back to the court, so don't be surprised if his absence extends beyond this two-week window. Andrew Nembhard (neck) and Pascal Siakam should each get a usage bump as they take over more of the playmaking duties sans Haliburton and there will be more minutes available for Quenton Jackson.
Expected back 13 Nov
Injury/Illness - Lumbar Sprain (2026-11-02, ATL@IND). Prior reporting (2026-11-02): Toppin (back) will dress for Monday's game against Hawks but will only play in an emergency, Tony East of Forbes.com reports. Toppin has missed the last two games while dealing with a lumbar strain, and the only reason he's dressing Monday is in the event of an emergency, as the Pacers are down to eight active players (including Toppin). Jay Huff, Kelly Oubre, Kobe Brown, Jarace Walker and Jalen Slawson will be tasked with eating up minutes in the frontcourt with Toppin, Ivica Zubac (ankle) and Larry Nance (illness) sidelined.
Expected back 4 Nov
Injury/Illness - Illness (2026-11-02, ATL@IND). Prior reporting (2026-11-02): Nance (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks. Including Nance, the Pacers have ruled out 10 players ahead of Monday's contest. Kobe Brown and Jarace Walker should see heavy workloads with the club shorthanded.
Expected back 4 Nov
Injury/Illness - Cervical Injury Management (2026-11-02, ATL@IND). Prior reporting (2026-11-02): Nembhard (cervical strain) is out for Monday's game against Atlanta. The Pacers are going to sit multiple key players for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Nembhard sidelined, Quenton Jackson could be set up for an extended workload.
Expected back 4 Nov
Injury/Illness - Left Hamstring Injury Management (2026-11-02, ATL@IND). Prior reporting (2026-11-02): Nesmith (rest) is sitting out Monday against Atlanta. The Pacers are holding him out for left hamstring injury management, but this is a maintenance day and not a setback for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Kelly Oubre and Jarace Walker could see hefty workloads with so many Pacers sitting out.
Expected back 4 Nov
Rest (2026-11-02, ATL@IND). Prior reporting (2026-11-02): Siakam will be rested against the Hawks on Monday. The veteran forward compiled 17 points (6-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and a steal across 35 minutes in Sunday's 98-90 loss to the Nets, and he'll be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Obi Toppin (lumbar sprain) is questionable, so the Pacers may need a lot of minutes from Jarace Walker.
Expected back 4 Nov
