Karlo Matkovic Injury: Doubtful for Wednesday

Published on October 21, 2025

Matkovic (elbow) is doubtful to play in the season opener against the Grizzlies.

Matkovic is trending toward not playing in the first game of the 2025-26 campaign, as he continues to deal with right elbow soreness. New Orleans will lean heavily on Yves Missi and Derik Queen (wrist) in the frontcourt, along with Zion Williamson and Saddiq Bey.
