Nurkic will begin the 2026-27 season on the sidelines, and given the tricky nature of foot injuries for big men, it wouldn't be shocking to see his absence extend beyond this initial four-week window. Jaren Jackson will likely spend more time at center while Nurkic is out, and there will be more minutes available for Jaxson Hayes and Mo Bamba.

Filipowski tweaked his back while lifting in the 2025-26 offseason, which caused painful sciatica down his leg throughout the campaign and limited his explosiveness. This offseason, he underwent surgery to fix the herniated disc in his back that was causing the pain, and he's still rehabbing. With Jusuf Nurkic (foot) slated to miss Opening Night, Filipowski's availability moving forward will be one to monitor closely.

Hinson is managing a left adductor injury that'll keep him sidelined Monday. The forward appeared in Utah's first two preseason games, and his next chance to suit up will come Friday against Phoenix.

Booker won't be an option for Saturday's game due to rest, as the Suns are managing his workload carefully with the start of the regular season right around the corner. Booker's next chance to play will come in the rematch against San Antonio on Wednesday.

While Bridges won't play Saturday, he was able to practice Friday, so he's trending in the right direction. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in a preseason rematch with the Spurs.

This is a tough blow for the center with training camp right around the corner. With his status for Opening Night in jeopardy, this will put a lot of eyes on Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach, with the latter already drawing buzz during the Summer League. More clarity on Williams' timeline should be known in the coming weeks.
