NBA Point Guard Injury News
Tyrese Haliburton, PG, Indiana Pacers (Hamstring)
Tyrese Haliburton did not play on Sunday night because of injury management for his hamstring strain. He did play on Friday, so the Pacers expect to have him back for games this week.
Trae Young, PG, Atlanta Hawks (Concussion)
Trae Young left Saturday's game with a concussion and has already been ruled out for Monday's game against Sacramento. After that, he is considered day-to-day.
Jrue Holiday, PG, Boston Celtics (Elbow)
Jrue Holiday did not play on Sunday night as he nurses an elbow injury, and he is considered day-to-day for this new week.
Ben Simmons, PG, Brooklyn Nets (Back)
Ben Simmons will apparently travel with the Brooklyn Nets on their upcoming road trip, a sign that he may be near returning to game action. He should certainly be considered questionable at best for any game this week.
Fred VanVleet, PG, Houston Rockets (Back)
Fred VanVleet missed Sunday night's game with a lower back injury and is considered day-to-day as the new week begins.
Derrick Rose, PG, Memphis Grizzlies (Thigh)
Derrick Rose joins Marcus Smart and Ja Morant as Grizzlies' point guards who are out tonight. John Konchar and Ziaire Williams should get a lot of minutes.
Cade Cunningham, PG, Detroit Pistons (Knee)
Cunningham is closer to returning to game action with his knee injury suffered a couple of weeks ago, but he is doubtful for Monday night's game against Milwaukee.
Darius Garland, PG, Cleveland Cavaliers (Jaw)
Darius Garland will at least miss the upcoming road games this week as he did not travel with the team so he could continue his recovery from a fractured jaw. There is a chance he is ready to go next week.
NBA Shooting Guard Injury News
Desmond Bane, SG, Memphis Grizzlies (Ankle)
Desmond Bane suffered a serious ankle sprain and will miss around six weeks as he recovers. Luke Kennard should play a lot of minutes in his absence.
Zach LaVine, SG, Chicago Bulls (Ankle)
Zach LaVine was diagnosed with an ankle sprain and will miss 1-2 weeks with the injury. As with the previous injury, Alex Caruso and Ayo Dosunmu will get heavy minutes in that time.

Caris LeVert is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against Orlando with a wrist injury.
Shaedon Sharpe, SG, Portland Trail Blazers (Abdominal)
While recovering from a thigh injury, Shaedon Sharpe was diagnosed with a lower abdominal strain. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks, the team announced.
De'Anthony Melton, SG, Philadelphia 76ers (Back)

Isaiah Jackson missed Sunday's game against Phoenix with a concussion and is considered day-to-day for their games this week.
Jaime Jaquez Jr., SF, Miami Heat (Groin)
Jaime Jaquez's groin injury is worse than expected and there is currently no timetable for his return. With Jimmy Butler back, his playing time was reduced anyway.

Tari Eason, PF, Houston Rockets (Leg)
Tari Eason has been ruled out for Monday night's game and it has been reported that he will miss a week or two so he can fully recover from the injury.

NBA Center Injury News
Ivica Zubac, C, Los Angeles Clippers (Calf)

Day'Ron Sharpe was diagnosed with a hyperextended knee and it will cause him to miss at least two weeks.
Isaiah Stewart, C, Detroit Pistons (Ankle)
Isaiah Stewart has a nagging ankle injury and it has caused him to be listed as questionable for Monday night's game against Milwaukee.
Isaiah Hartenstein, C, New York Knicks (Ankle)
Since all of Isaiah in the NBA must be hurt right now, Isaiah Hartenstein is also hobbling, as he left Saturday's game with an ankle injury. The Knicks are very thin at center presently, but Hartenstein is day-to-day to start the week.
Jakob Poeltl, C, Toronto Raptors (Ankle)
Jakob Poeltl has returned to some portions of the Raptors practice, and he is planning to be re-evaluated in about a week to see if he is ready to return to games.
