NBA Injury Report Today for Key Players: Thursday, 10/23/25
Here are the key injuries to note from Thursday's NBA injury report before making your NBA picks on PrizePicks today.
As we enter the season, the list of players that will be missing is extensive, so be sure to stay tapped into how teams are moving without these players in.
Thunder F Jalen Williams vs. Pacers
Injury Status: Out (Wrist)
Which Player Could Benefit: Indiana G Aaron Nesmith. Before fouling out in Tuesday’s opener, the Vanderbilt product banked 2 blocks and 2 steals. Without Williams around to be his typical bestial self, Nesmith could see more touches, elbow room, and hustle numbers.
Pacers G Aaron Nesmith vs. Thunder Projections: 13.5 points, 4 rebounds
Pacers G T.J. McConnell vs. Thunder
Injury Status: Out (Hamstring) for one month as of 10/10/25
Which Player Could Benefit: This should further amp up Nesmith’s numbers, but, as always, keep an eye on G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The reigning MVP racked up 35 fantasy points on Tuesday, as per FantasyPros. SGA is always unreasonably dangerous, but could be more so against a thin Pacers backcourt to defend him.
Thunder G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Projections: 32.5 points, 6.5 assists
Thunder G Alex Caruso vs. Pacers
Injury Status: Out (Concussion)
Which Player Could Benefit: Caruso is among the Association’s peskiest defenders, so without the former Laker and Bull all up in his face, Pacers SG/SF Benedict Mathurin might have some room to operate.
Pacers F Benedict Mathurin Projections: 18.5 points, 6 rebounds
Thunder G Lu Dort
Current Status: Questionable (Ankle)
Which Player Could Benefit: Dort is a defensive menace night in and night out, but is an inconsistent scorer. His absence might give Indy some more open-ish shots, but might also give his teammate, SG/SF Aaron Wiggins, some more touches.
Thunder SG/SF Aaron Wiggins Projections: 11.5 points, 2.5 rebounds
