Short-Term Injuries for Fantasy Basketball
Darius Garland, PG/SG, Cleveland Cavaliers - Eye
After getting poked in the eye, Garland is the first high-round redraft pick to find himself sidelined this year. Cedi Osman has seen a bump in minutes and is a solid streaming option for the week.
Brandon Ingram, SF/PF, New Orleans Pelicans - Concussion
Ingram will miss Tuesday's game vs the Mavericks due to concussion protocols, and I would lean that he'll be held out of the game on Friday as well. Devonte' Graham has seen the biggest increase in volume based on what we saw last year, and if that holds true I think he's the top streaming option this week.
Orlando Magic Backcourt
Recent injuries have sidelined Jalen Suggs and Gary Harris, seeing them join Markelle Fultz on the inactive list. This is a very unique situation though, as all three of them project to return at the same time in about a week. In the meantime, Terrence Ross looks like he's guaranteed to get shots, and RJ Hampton is there as well.
Seth Curry, PG/SG, Brooklyn Nets - Ankle
New season, same ankle injury for Curry. He is supposed to return by the end of the week, however.
Long-Term Injuries for Fantasy Basketball
Robert Williams III, C, Boston Celtics - Knee
Williams' surgery caused the biggest pre-season shakeup from a fantasy impact. Currently scheduled out until January, Williams has already faced complications in rehab and it's always possible he's shut down for the year. For now, Grant Williams is a solid option from the Celtics frontcourt, and if the C's sign any more size that might be fantasy relevant I'll be sure to update that here.
Bruno Fernando, C, Houston Rockets - Knee
After an update earlier today said Fernando will be out "a while" – something you never want to hear about a big man's knees – Alperen Sengun is probably already rostered in your league, but Usman Garaba is another name to keep an eye on.
Lonzo Ball, PG/SG, Chicago Bulls - Knee
Until Ball returns (which doesn't seem like it will be in 2022) Ayo Dosunmu is the starting PG for the Bulls.
The Tank Corner
Closed until later in the season, we'll get here when teams start trotting out G-Leaguers none of us have ever heard of.
