Jordan Goodwin (21.5), Collin Gillespie (21.3), Khaman Maluach (16.9) and Ryan Dunn (14.2) come next. Depth is already thin. Mark Williams is out with a left shoulder issue, and Luke Kennard is day-to-day with a left knee issue.
What to watch
The next injury report before Saturday's 10 p.m. ET tip will show whether Ighodaro's status changes. The report lists Oct. 24 as his expected return. That is the same day Rankin reported he has been ruled out against the Warriors. No return date beyond that has been announced.
