NBA Injury News

6 p.m. ET Update: Kyle Lowry will warm up with the intent to play on Monday despite dealing with a sprained left ankle. Bradley Beal has been cleared to play Monday after sitting with a hip injury. Jrue Holiday has been officially ruled out for the Bucks.

The Boston Celtics will be without Al Horford and Romeo Langford on Monday. Horford is dealing with a strained adductor and Langford has a tight calf. Jaylen Brown will return to the lineup as he deals with left patella tendinopathy. He's expected to be limited to around 30 minutes.

LaMarcus Aldridge has been ruled out for the Brooklyn Nets for rest.


The Miami Heat hope to have starting point guard Kyle Lowry back in their lineup on Monday when they face the Orlando Magic. Lowry was held out of the Heat's game on Saturday with an ankle sprain and he's listed as questionable entering the day. Gabe Vincent got the start Saturday night, but Tyler Herro saw 41 minutes of action off the bench with Lowry out after playing 24 in the opener.

The Washington Wizards anticipate that Bradley Beal will play Monday though he's officially listed as questionable. Beal missed Friday's game with a sore hip but according to head coach Wes Unseld Jr. the injury is "a pain threshold at this point and a little bit of mobility. Beyond that, there was nothing structural or anything worrisome."

The Milwaukee Bucks will likely be without Jrue Holiday who is listed as doubtful annd dealing with an ankle injury on top of a sore heel that caused him to miss one game this season.
