Alpha Diallo is listed as Day-To-Day and probable for the Nuggets' game against the Raptors on Wednesday, Nov. 4, because of a wrist issue. His status did not change from the previous report, and he is on track to play at 9:00 PM ET.
What happened
Diallo stayed Day-To-Day on the Wednesday, Nov. 4 injury report, which was posted at 8:20 PM ET. The report comment reads: "Diallo (wrist) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors." No further detail was given, and no return date was announced. His previous status was also Day-To-Day. The wrist has kept him on and off the report for more than a week. He was listed Out with the wrist on Sunday, Nov. 1, and cleared from Out on Monday, Nov. 2. He went back to Day-To-Day on Tuesday, Nov. 3.
What it means for the Nuggets
Denver hosts Toronto at 9:00 PM ET on Wednesday. The Nuggets are 3-3, in 10th place in the standings, and coming off a loss. Diallo is a 29-year-old guard. Last season he played 2 games and averaged 13.9 minutes, 2.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists. Denver is 0-2 with him and 3-1 without him. Without him, Jamal Murray has averaged 38.4 minutes, Nikola Jokic 36.9 and Christian Braun 36.3. Aaron Gordon (30.3), Cameron Johnson (26.2), Trevon Brazile (21.9) and Bryce Hopkins (16.5) have also played big roles. DeMar DeRozan is Out with a back issue, as are Julian Strawther (knee) and Spencer Jones (hamstring).
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Diallo's probable tag holds after Wednesday's game. No return date is announced, because he is expected to play. The wrist has already sent him from Day-To-Day to Out and back once in this stretch, so any change in his status is worth checking. The Nuggets will also be watching the report for DeRozan, Strawther and Jones, who are all listed Out. Denver's next game after Toronto has not been confirmed in the schedule.
