79 players are listed with an injury or illness on today's 2:30 PM injury report, for games that are on tonight's schedule. That's approximately 15% of the NBA!!

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton has sustained a left hamstring strain and will miss time, sources tell ESPN. Pacers doctors and Haliburton are now gathering a clear timeline.

Someone will find the stats saying this isn’t true, but sure seems like star player injuries are up to start this season.

One of the best three point shooters ever about to be banned for life. What a waste.

I asked Scottie if he needs to change his offensive game with Kawhi out to do more but he said not really. RJ Barrett said everyone on roster will have to do a bit more and they'll be fine.
Josh Lewenberg@JLew1050Oct 27
Barnes on his scoreless game vs Wolves: "They had help in the paint, so I couldn't really get all the way to the rim. I obviously missed some easy ones as well. On the defensive end I feel like I still had a good impact...It is what it is. Go to the next game, try to go dominate"

Kawhi out for weeks, per @shamscharania due to swelling on left knee.

Raptors got used to Leonard being in and out of lineup without continuity in championship year. Nick Nurse had everyone prepared and it never seemed like a big deal. Gave Siakam, VanVleet, Powell, Anunoby, in particular, the chance to expand roles. Walter/CMB now.

Raptors' Kawhi Leonard set to miss weeks due to knee swelling

IN 2018-19 he was coming off massive left quadriceps issue with Spurs which led to the acrimony and eventually left knee issues (not Doctor Woz but surely related). But with Clippers it was consistently right side issues.

It’s also worth mentioning that this is the first time since 2019 that Kawhi has been dealing with anything related to his left knee. In his time with the Clippers he had a bunch of knee issues and surgeries, all with his right leg.

Already looking way more confident than he did opening night against Raptors.

Really they thought they were a level ahead of anyone else. Rough.

J-Dub and Jalen Suggs minutes apart. Injuries suck.

Jalen Suggs just collapsed after landing on a fast-break layup and is holding his right leg in pain.

Raptors play Magic twice this week. That’s a huge loss for Orlando.

Unless Barnes gets back in, and he shouldn't in a 30-point game, this will be the second time he's been held scoreless. The first was in April of 2023. He was 0-for-7 in 29 minutes. 0-for-12 in 27 minutes tonight.

Kawhi Leonard played 28 minutes on Friday w no issue, practiced on Saturday w no issues & went through his normal pre-game in Minnesota before he was a late scratch with swelling in his left knee. Good news? The last time Leonard missed time with his left knee was 2019.

As expected for most of the games Kawhi misses, Ja’Kobe Walter slots into Raptors starting lineup.
