Daily NBA Injury Roundup for December 22nd, 2020

NBA Analysis
All original RotoBaller NBA content, including fantasy basketball and non-fantasy news content, written by RotoBaller staff. Includes fantasy basketball articles, advice, analysis, waiver wire pickups, rankings, sleepers, etc.

Draymond Green Ruled Out For Season Opener

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (foot) has been officially ruled out for the season opener on Tuesday. The MRI came back clean, but the Warriors are going to hold him out as a precaution. Head coach Steve Kerr called Green day-to-day, so there is a chance that he suits up for their matchup on […]


Derrick White Signs Extension With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) reportedly agreed to a four-year extension worth $73 million. That is quite a lot of money, but the Spurs feel he has earned it with his performance last season. He averaged 18.2 points, 4.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, so there are high expectations for White going into this campaign. […]


Marcus Morris Won't Play In Season Opener

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's regular season opener. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but the Clippers will take the cautious approach. Nicolas Batum has been starting for Morris in the preseason, so that is expected to be the case on Tuesday. Batum could […]


Immanuel Quickley Likely Has Earned Rotational Spot

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley has been impressive during his two preseason outings. The rookie guard could earn a spot in the rotation after an impressive showing this preseason. Head coach Tom Thibodeau mentioned that Quickley's performance over the last few games will definitely factor into his decision making about the rotation. It sounds […]


James Wiseman Could Start On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman could join the starting five for his first ever NBA game, according to head coach Steve Kerr. The Warriors took Wiseman with the No. 2 overall selection in this year's draft. Obviously, Wiseman is their future at center, so it's not too surprising that they'd start him right away. […]


Kyle Kuzma Agrees To Extension With Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma has reportedly agreed to a three-year extension worth $40 million. This extension includes a player option in the final year of the contract. His fantasy value took a slight hit last season, but he was adjusting to playing alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Obviously, both of them are […]


Marvin Bagley Playing Both Power Forward And Center

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley played both power forward and center during Sunday's practice. Head coach Luke Walton mentioned that they will likely experiment with Bagley at both spots this season. Hassan Whiteside and Richaun Holmes will likely see a majority of the minutes at center. However, it sounds like Bagley will be thrown into […]


Marcus Morris Could Miss Season Opener

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (knee) is listed as questionable for the regular season opener on Tuesday. Morris did not play in the preseason and is expected to be eased into the rotation. Head coach Ty Lue mentioned that he's unsure if Morris will be ready in time for the season opener. Patrick Patterson […]


John Collins Wants To Improve Defensively

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins mentioned that he is focused on improving his game defensively. That the coaching staff and new teammate Danilo Gallinari have been challenging him to improve his game on defense. He averaged 1.6 blocks and 0.8 steals last season, so those were already pretty solid numbers. It's unclear if the addition […]


Myles Turner Should Suit Up On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (head) is expected to suit up for the season opener on Wednesday. Both Turner and T.J. Warren (foot) were able to go through a full practice on Sunday. Head coach Nate Bjorkgren fully expects both players to be ready for the season opener. There was no word on whether either […]


T.J. Warren Expected To Play In Season Opener

Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren (foot) is expected to suit up for the regular season opener on Wednesday. There was some concern that Warren would be unable to suit up due to plantar fasciitis. However, he was able to get through full contact practice on Sunday, which is a great sign. There is a chance […]

Larry Nance Jr. Remains Sidelined

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (head) was unable to suit up for the preseason matchup on Friday. He is still in concussion protocol, so it's unclear if Nance will be ready in time for the regular season opener. Kevin Love (calf) is unlikely to be ready by next week, so Nance could be looking […]


Kevin Love Might Miss Season Opener

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (calf) is in danger of sitting out the regular season opener next week. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff is unsure if Love will be ready in time, but mentioned he has been progressing well. However, the Cavs want to make sure Love is fully healthy before letting him back on the […]


Gordon Hayward Could Be Sidelined For Season Opener

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (finger) is not going to suit up for the preseason finale on Saturday. He remains day-to-day with a fractured finger, so it's unclear if he'll be ready for the regular season opener. The good news is, Hayward was able to do some ball handling and shooting on Friday. Miles Bridges […]
