Training Camp

Isaiah Thomas signed a one-year, $2 million deal to be with the Nuggets this off-season after struggling through a rough season that saw him miss a good chunk of games, struggle to get his feel and quickness back while recovering from a hip injury and ultimately being traded. Thomas has not shown the ability to [...]

If both the New York Knicks and Joakim Noah get their way, the 33-year-old big man will not be a member of the team for that much longer. This has been the default refrain for quite some time. Noah is owed $37.8 million over the next two seasons, including this one, but doesn’t fit into [...]

When the LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers open training camp next week, Lonzo Ball will not be a full-on participant. Speaking with Spectrum SportsNet’s Mike Bresnahan, head coach Luke Walton indicated that the sophomore floor general would not be ready to partake in 5-on-5 drills once the team officially opens its doors: Lonzo Ball (knee) [...]

Basketball never sleeps, which unfortunately means injuries don’t either. As first reported by 98.7 FM Arizona’s John Gambadoro, Devin Booker needs to have surgery to repair an injured right hand and will be out indefinitely (via 98.7 FM Arizona’s Kellan Olson): Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker will undergo hand surgery on Monday and is [...]

If the Boston Celtics began training camp right now, both Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward would be ready to rock. This is not speculation…unless you consider team president Danny Ainge a questionable source. Here’s what he had to say, per ESPN.com’s Chris Forsberg: “I don’t want to hype it up too much, but I’m saying [...]

Mike Conley missed 70 games last season while dealing with Achilles issues. On the verge of turning 31, with three years left on his max contract, it’s fair to wonder whether the Memphis Grizzlies should have any long-term concerns. Conley, for his part, does not. He expects to be ready by the time Memphis opens [...]

After playing almost all-star level basketball in his first year and a half with the Pistons, last year was not a good year for Reggie Jackson or the Pistons franchise. Jackson dealt with knee tendinitis all season that caused him to miss the first month of the season and the final nine games once the [...]

John Stockton isn’t heard from much around NBA circles these days—at least not to universal public knowledge. The Hall of Fame point guard seems to prefer life outside the spotlight. That, however, didn’t prevent him from working with the Milwaukee Bucks at head coach Jason Kidd’s request during their training camp. As new team member [...]

Chris Bosh’s trek back to the hardwood has hit another snag. Though the 32-year-old has been overwhelmingly optimistic about returning to the court in time for the start of this season, he apparently failed a physical and, as such, will not be cleared to participate in the Miami Heat’s training camp, according to Barry Jackson [...]
