With 13 games on the schedule, we knew there’d be a ton of injury news we’d have to monitor. However, it’s mostly out tags and really just two noteworthy questionable tags. We did get a slew of players off the injury report, so let’s hit those first.
Off the Injury Report
*Gordon Hayward (finger) said he is going to play and it’ll be about pain management for his fractured finger. Coach James Borrego said Hayward went through two full practices, so he should be set for minutes in the 28-30 range. P.J. Washington has been struggling while Miles Bridges has been great, so PJW may have a short leash (more in Matchups).
*Myles Turner (concussion) and T.J. Warren (foot) are both expected to play today. Warren has a questionable tag, but he’s gone through three straight practices.
*Tristan Thompson (hamstring) is off the injury report after missing the entire preseason. He will have a minutes limit, so we could see all three centers. Grant Williams also played 23 minutes at the five in the preseason, so he could be called upon.
*Keldon Johnson (foot) is off the injury report after he said he hurt his toe on stairs. He said he’ll play and he had been going through 5-on-5s. Keldon was slotted as the SG2 in the bubble, so it may not be long before he can make an impact. This move could shift DeMar DeRozan to more of a PF role to open up minutes for Devin Vassell.
