Recent official rulings
Dejounte Murray — Out
Murray is celebrating the birth of his son Thursday, making him a late scratch for Thursday's action. Herbert Jones will start in Murray's stead, per Eichenhofer, and Saddiq Bey could see an uptick in playing time as well.
Dejounte Murray — Out
Although it's a small sample size, Murray at least appears initially to be just about all the way back from Achilles surgery that limited him in the prior two seasons. Through four appearances, Murray has averaged 17.8 points, 6.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.3 minutes per game.
Jordan Poole — Out
Poole will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set after spraining his left ankle in Wednesday's loss to Denver. His next chance to play will come Saturday against Atlanta. In the meantime, Bennedict Mathurin and Herbert Jones are candidates for increased burn. With Dejounte Murray (personal) also out, AJ Johnson could enter the rotation.
Jordan Poole — Out
Poole appears likely to miss the second leg of this back-to-back set. The veteran left Wednesday's game against Denver after just seven minutes and failed to return. His absence could open things up a bit for Bennedict Mathurin.
Yves Missi — Out
Missi currently has no official timetable for his return, but he appears likely to miss significant time. Derik Queen could be elevated into a starting role while Missi is sidelined, so make sure he's not floating around on your waiver wire. Missi doesn't offer enough upside to warrant holding onto in re-draft fantasy leagues.
Yves Missi — Out
Missi exited Friday's loss to the Jazz with what the name is now calling a left knee bone bruise. His next chance to suit up will come in Wednesday's rematch against Denver. In the meantime, Derik Queen and Karlo Matkovic are candidates to see increased playing time.
