DFS: Wednesday's NBA Injury Report
Here's a look at the injury situation around the NBA heading into Wednesday, November 25's 12-game slate:
Atlanta Hawks
F/C Tiago Splitter (hip) didn't practice Monday, and he didn't play Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. He's listed as day-to-day but it's highly unlikely he suits up Wednesday.

Boston Celtics
G Marcus Smart (knee) will be sidelined for several weeks. He's targeting an early-December return.
Brooklyn Nets
No significant injuries.
Charlotte Hornets
G/F Nicolas Batum (illness) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He'll be a risky play even if he's listed as active.
Cleveland Cavaliers
G Mo Williams (ankle) was replaced by G Matthew Dellavedova in Monday's starting lineup. The same thing could happen Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors.
C Timofey Mozgov (shoulder), G/F Iman Shumpert (wrist) and G Kyrie Irving (knee) are all targeting December returns.
