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 25, Kirk Hinrich sprained his left thumb during practice.
