Injuries and surgeries
- On September 29, Aaron Gray suffered a stress fracture of his left fibula. This was determined after he developed a lower leg pain the week of September 26 and he was projected to miss six-eight weeks.[11][12] On November 16, Gray, still out because of the stress fracture, was admitted to the hospital because of fluid build-up in his right knee.[13] Gray returned to the line-up to make his season début November 26 against the Utah Jazz.[14]
- On November 6, Tyrus Thomas fractured his left radius during a weight training session. He underwent surgery on November 7 and is projected to miss four to six weeks of the season.[12][15]
- On November 25, Kirk Hinrich sprained his left thumb during practice. Though initially feared to be a similar injury the previous season where he tore the ligaments of his right thumb, an MRI and subsequent examinations confirmed it to only be a sprain and he will only miss one to two weeks.[16][17]
