Sunday's NBA Injury News
Kemba Walker has been cleared to make his season debut on Sunday after undergoing left knee stem cell injection three months prior. Per our NBA Insiders injury dashboard, Walker will likely have his minutes limited as he returns from surgery and rehab, but his availability should offer stability to the rotation.
Los Angeles Clippers sixth man, Lou Williams, is questionable ahead of Sunday's game. He missed their previous game due to left hip discomfort.
The Dallas Mavericks will continue to be without Josh Richardson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Dwight Powell, and Maxi Kleber for Sunday's game due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Jalen Brunson is questionable to suit up due to health and safety protocols and Tim Hardaway Jr. is questionable with a neck injury.
