Trevor Keels was cleared on the Sunday, Sept. 27 injury report, coming off the Day-To-Day designation he had carried since Sept. 6 for a right knee issue. He is available for the next game, at the Raptors on Saturday, Oct. 3.
What happened
Trevor Keels was cleared on the injury report issued Sunday, Sept. 27 at 7:23 p.m. ET. He had been Day-To-Day since Sept. 6, when he first appeared on the report with a right knee issue. Sunday's update removes that designation, and no expected return date is listed because he is no longer considered out or limited. The report carries no additional comment on the clearance.
What it means for the team
The next game is at the Raptors on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 7:00 p.m. ET on NBA TV, the team's season opener since the record stands at 0-0 with the 2026-27 season not yet started. Last season Keels played 8 games at 1.9 minutes, 1.0 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.0 assists, a marginal rotation role. With Keels sidelined, minutes went to players such as Bam Adebayo (32.4 min, 20.1 pts), Tyler Herro (31.3 min, 20.5 pts) and Andrew Wiggins (30.3 min, 15.4 pts); his clearance does not project to change that rotation given his limited role.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Keels carries any designation into the Oct. 3 game at the Raptors. No expected return timeline was needed since he has been cleared outright. The team's report also lists Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo, Ryan Conwell and Myron Gardner as Day-To-Day, all worth tracking on subsequent reports as the opener approaches.
