Scouting report

2025-26 regular season · 7 games

Not enough minutes for a report. Reports cover players averaging 15+ minutes who played in at least 20% of their team's games.

Day-To-DayLively underwent right foot surgery in December and has progressed to some shooting and on-court work, but the big man isn't quite ready to return to game action. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against Atlanta, though there's been no indication of an imminent return, and Lively could ultimately miss time to begin the regular season. Expected back: 2026-10-16.
