Will Richard Out Indefinitely with Torn UCL
Golden State Warriors guard Will Richard (thumb) has a torn UCL in his left thumb and will miss Monday's game against New Orleans, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater. There is no timetable for his return. The second-year guard had worked his way into a regular rotation role during Golden State's seven-game winning streak, making two starts last week. Richard is averaging 5.1 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 17.2 minutes while shooting 42.9 percent from three. He wasn't producing enough to warrant a fantasy hold, while Gary Payton II and Georges Niang could pick up additional minutes with Richard joining Jimmy Butler III (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) on the sideline.

Brandon Miller Sidelined Monday Versus Cavaliers
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (hip) is out for Monday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Miller left Friday's 119-80 loss to Boston in the second quarter with what was initially called right groin soreness, and he has since been diagnosed with a hip strain. The 23-year-old is averaging 20.6 points in 10 games, though he has shot just 35.6% from the field. Tidjane Salaun and Sion James should have more wing minutes available while Miller is sidelined, with Salaun carrying some short-term fantasy intrigue if he moves into the starting lineup.

Jarrett Allen Questionable Monday Against Charlotte
Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (knee) is questionable for Monday's road matchup with the Charlotte Hornets after missing the past two games with a contusion. Allen injured the knee in a collision Wednesday against Oklahoma City, and it is the same knee that sidelined him for 10 games with tendinitis last March. The 28-year-old is averaging 13.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks this season. Evan Mobley has handled the center spot in Allen's absence, posting 22 points against Philadelphia before adding 12 points, nine rebounds, and five assists versus New York. If Allen returns, Thomas Bryant would likely see his backup minutes trimmed.

Nique Clifford Traded to the Thunder
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Nique Clifford is being traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder for two second-round picks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The move sends Clifford back to the franchise that selected him 24th overall in 2025 before dealing him to Sacramento on draft night. The 24-year-old had fallen out of the Kings' rotation, logging just 50 minutes across eight games this season after averaging 8.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists as a rookie. Oklahoma City is missing Jalen Williams (leg), Cason Wallace (shoulder), and Chet Holmgren (knee), giving Clifford a chance to compete for reserve minutes, though Ajay Mitchell and Jared McCain remain ahead of him in the fantasy pecking order.

Domantas Sabonis Ruled Out Sunday Against Miami
Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) is out for Sunday's matchup with the Miami Heat, according to Kings insider James Ham. Sabonis was a late addition to the injury report with soreness in the same knee that required meniscus surgery last season, and this will be his first absence through 10 games. The 30-year-old is averaging 15.3 points, 14.6 rebounds, and 6.0 assists. With Maxime Raynaud (knee) also sidelined, Precious Achiuwa should take on more frontcourt work, while Dylan Cardwell could get a longer look off the bench if Sabonis remains unavailable Tuesday against Orlando.

Jock Landale Questionable Monday Against Lakers
Atlanta Hawks center Jock Landale (hip) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers after missing four straight games, according to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network. The 31-year-old is averaging 6.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.0 assists on 44.7% shooting this season. With Asa Newell (toe) and Mouhamed Gueye (foot) sidelined, Atlanta could use Landale back behind Onyeka Okongwu. Rookie Zuby Ejiofor has made the most of the extra work, averaging 7.8 points and 4.8 rebounds on 61.9% shooting during Landale's absence, so the two could compete for backup minutes once Landale returns.

Egor Demin Progressing Toward Return From Leg Injury
Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin (leg) is making progress in his recovery from a bone bruise, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post. Head coach Jordi Fernandez said Saturday that Demin is back on the court and progressing well, with another evaluation expected after the weekend. The 20-year-old has missed six straight games after averaging 7.8 points and 2.8 assists on 31.0% shooting through four starts. Nolan Traore has taken advantage of the extra backcourt work, but his role could tighten once Demin is cleared to return.

Anthony Davis Questionable for Monday's Game Against Detroit
Washington Wizards forward/center Anthony Davis (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons after missing the past two games. Davis sprained the ankle Wednesday against Atlanta but still finished with 26 points and 10 rebounds before sitting out Friday and Saturday. The 33-year-old is averaging 23.4 points and 9.3 rebounds through eight appearances. If Davis remains sidelined, Alexandre Sarr should continue carrying a larger frontcourt load, while Deandre Ayton is available after overcoming the lower-leg issue that cut short his night Saturday. Davis' next chance to play after Monday would come Wednesday at Indiana.

Immanuel Quickley Iffy Against Memphis
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies after being limited in Sunday's practice. Quickley missed Friday's win over Milwaukee with hamstring tightness, which is notable after an injury to the same leg kept him out of last season's first-round playoff series. The 27-year-old is averaging 17.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 2.6 three-pointers through eight games. Jamal Shead would be in line for another start if Quickley sits after handing out a career-high 16 assists against the Bucks on Friday.

Scottie Barnes Carries Questionable Tag for Monday
Toronto Raptors forward/center Scottie Barnes (groin) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies after being limited in Sunday's practice, according to Josh Lewenberg. Barnes missed Friday's win over Milwaukee after appearing to favor his hip earlier in the week. The 25-year-old is averaging 23.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 2.3 steals through eight games. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) still sidelined, another Barnes absence would keep Collin Murray-Boyles in line for added frontcourt work, while RJ Barrett should remain one of Toronto's primary scoring options.
