Trae Young Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (quad) has been deemed unavailable to play in Wednesday's preseason contest against Cleveland.

Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Devin Booker has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason contest against the Lakers, and a return to game action remains days away with him being in the league's COVID-19 protols.

Tyrese Maxey Operating With First Unit

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey was seen operating with the first unit in practice. This is too surprising considering Ben Simmons refuses to show up to camp or play for the Sixers again.

Patrick Beverley On The Move

The L.A. Clippers traded guard Patrick Beverley, along with Rajon Rondo and Daniel Oturu, to Memphis in exchange for Eric Bledsoe.
