Terrance Ferguson Returns to Practice

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Terrance Ferguson (concussion) returned to practice on Sunday. He should be ready to go for the regular season opener after clearing the baseline concussion protocol tests.

DeMarre Carroll Does Not Practice on Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll (ankle) did not practice on Sunday. It does not appear that this issue is serious. Carroll played well last season, but the Nets are trying to rebuild their roster with younger players. It's unclear what kind of role Carroll will have even when he's healthy. He's worth grabbing in the […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Practices on Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae-Hollis Jefferson (groin) was able to practice on Sunday, but his return date is still unclear.

Shabazz Napier Remains Out of Practice

Brooklyn Nets guard Shabazz Napier (hamstring) is still not practicing after he suffered a hamstring injury earlier this month. Napier has reportedly been at shooting drills, but not practicing yet.
