Usman Garuba

GSW Power Forward #12

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Usman Garuba (right finger dislocation) is not on the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Garuba’s availability will not impact fantasy basketball, as he hasn’t been in the Warriors rotation. Leave him on the waiver wire.

Derrick Jones Jr.

LAC Small Forward #55

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Derrick Jones Jr. (right hamstring soreness) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Mavericks.

DJJ was expected to miss at least two weeks based on a report from December 10, but he’s apparently ahead of schedule. He’s got a shot to face his former team, though it’s unclear if he’ll handle his normal workload.

Ja Morant

MEM Point Guard #12
Ja Morant (low back soreness) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Warriors, and Marcus Smart (left shoulder soreness) is doubtful.

With Smart unlikely to play, expect Scotty Pippen Jr. and Luke Kennard to see a bump in playing time off the bench. If Morant ends up sitting too, Pippen Jr. is likely to earn a spot start, making him a worthwhile streaming option.

Onyeka Okongwu

ATL Center #17
Onyeka Okongwu will be sidelined at least a week due to left knee inflammation.

Okongwu has played well off the bench this season, and his absence should free up additional minutes for Larry Nance Jr. behind Clint Capela.

Jordan Hawkins

NOP Shooting Guard #24

Jordan Hawkins (lumbar spine annular fissure) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with Houston.

Hawkins has been in and (mostly) out of New Orleans’ lineup this season, but he’ll get a chance to return Thursday against the Rockets. He’ll likely face a minutes restriction if he’s cleared to take the court.

Brandon Miller

CHA Small Forward #24
Brandon Miller (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Wizards.

Miller left Monday’s matchup with the 76ers after sustaining the injury, and his status at Washington is up in the air. Isaiah Wong and Tidjane Salaun could see an uptick in playing time if Miller is sidelined.

Domantas Sabonis

SAC Power Forward #11
Domantas Sabonis and Keegan Murray (left ankle soreness) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s Kings-Lakers game.

It’s surprising to see that Sabonis missed practice while Murray is looking to bounce back after missing the Kings’ last game against the Nuggets with an ankle issue. Doug McDermott started for Murray in Sacramento’s last game and could get another chance to.

Bradley Beal

PHX Shooting Guard #3
Bradley Beal (right knee swelling) logged a full practice on Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s Pacers-Suns game.

Beal practiced in full after missing the Suns’ last two games. He’ll have a chance to suit up for Thursday’s Suns-Pacers matchup and will likely bump Royce O’Neale to the bench if available.

Kobe Bufkin

ATL Point Guard #4

Kobe Bufkin (right shoulder instability) is set to undergo season-ending surgery.

Bufkin appeared in just 10 games before his 2024-25 season came to a close. The Hawks guard is expected to make a full recover for the 2025-26 campaign.

Luka Doncic

DAL Point Guard #77

Luka Doncic (left heel contusion) sat out of practice on Wednesday while Kyrie Irving (right shoulder soreness) played.

Both the Mavericks’ leading scorers missed practice on Tuesday but only Irving returned ahead of Wednesday’s Mavericks-Clippers game. There’s been no indication that either star is on track to miss their next game.

Josh Giddey

CHI Shooting Guard #3
Josh Giddey (right ankle sprain) is unlikely to play in Thursday’s Bulls-Celtics game.

Giddey didn’t return to action after tweaking his ankle against the Raptors and isn’t likely to suit up against the Celtics. Zach LaVine’s availability will likely determine whether Lonzo Ball or Talen Horton-Tucker step into the starting lineup in his place.
