Sorber (knee) is out for Monday's game versus the Suns, per Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic.

It appeared earlier Monday on the Thunder's injury report that Sorber was ready to make his season debut, but it was a clerical error. Sorber's return timeline remains in the dark due to offseason knee surgery.

Edey (ankle) is off the injury report for Monday's game versus Utah.

This was the expectation after Edey sat out the first part of this back-to-back set for maintenance reasons. The Grizzlies appear to be easing the big man into a full workload after he missed the start of training camp due to ankle and elbow surgeries, as Edey has yet to transcend 22 minutes in either of his first two regular-season appearances.

Hayes is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to right shoulder soreness, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Hayes could be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set after posting nine points, five rebounds, a steal and an assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Lakers. If the big man joins Jusuf Nurkic (foot) on the inactive list, Kyle Filipowski and Mo Bamba would be candidates to see increased minutes off the bench.

Ighodaro (oblique) is out for Monday's matchup with the Thunder.

Ighodaro remains sidelined with an oblique strain. Khaman Maluach should continue to start at center for the Suns and offer enhanced fantasy value as long as Ighodaro is out.

Sorber (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Suns.

Sorber is no longer on the injury report for the Thunder. With how impressive Aday Mara has been in limited run, Sorber is unlikely to crack the rotation right away.

Zubac (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Bucks.

No surprises here after coach Rick Carlisle hinted at Zubac's absence following his injury Sunday night. The center is dealing with some swelling, but it's currently unclear how long this will sideline him for. Look for Jay Huff and possibly Larry Nance to pick up some minutes in the meantime.

Hartenstein supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 108-101 victory over the Clippers.

Hartenstein secured his first double-double of 2026-27 while playing his most minutes through three contests so far. Oklahoma City's starting center is averaging 7.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.7 steals in 22.3 minutes, and his playing time could increase slightly with Jaylin Williams (wrist) leaving Sunday's win in the first half.

Wolf had six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes during Sunday's 136-109 loss to the Pacers.

After not receiving any playing time in the Nets' first two games of the season, Wolf got some run with Brooklyn trailing by double digits for nearly the entire second half. With Noah Clowney, Chaney Johnson and Moritz Wagner occupying most of the frontcourt minutes in the second unit, it seems like Wolf will be the odd man out on most nights.

Carter chipped in nine points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 111-102 victory over the Knicks.

Carter cooled off a bit Sunday after dropping at least 20 points in two prior appearances, but he came down with a season-high 10 boards. The big man should continue to play a key role at center for the Magic, but fantasy managers should anticipate some regression coming at some point for Carter.

Post finished with seven points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Sunday's 123-112 win over the Kings.

Despite the absence of the resting Zach Edey at center, Post didn't see a bump in playing time Sunday. Post appears to be stuck in the backup center role and could continue to struggle for fantasy relevance.
