Injury status

Reported Oct 22

Day-To-DayKnee — Leg — BruiseEst. return Oct 23

Sheppard (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Sheppard is in danger of missing the front end of this back-to-back set due to a left knee bone bruise. If the 22-year-old guard is ultimately ruled out, Marcus Smart and Bogdan Bogdanovic would be candidates for increased playing time off the bench.

How it's counted

Each situation shows this player's numbers in those games, with the difference from their full-season line in parentheses. The definition sits under each situation name. Situations overlap: one game can count in several.

True shooting is one shooting number that folds in threes and free throws; its differences are in points of TS%. Every final box score counts — there is no minutes cutoff. Fewer than 5 games reads as a small sample. These splits describe what happened. They do not prove the schedule caused it.
