Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) limped to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's scrimmage. He suffered a left knee injury while attempting to take a charge.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe will not participate in Saturday's scrimmage versus the Sacramento Kings. He is not expected to suit up for Monday's exhibition either.

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz is still not taking part in 5-on-5 scrimmages, according to head coach Steve Clifford.

Kemba Walker Likely To Be Restricted

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is likely going to be somewhat restricted at the beginning of the restart, according to head coach Brad Stevens.

Aaron Holiday Could Start At Point Guard

Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Holiday is looking at an increased role with Victor Oladipo opting out of the upcoming restart.

De'Aaron Fox Talking Contract Extension

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox has begun talking about a contract extension with the organization. "I see myself being here. I want to be here," says Fox.

Ricky Rubio Expected To Lose Some Playing Time

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio is expected to see less playing time during the upcoming NBA restart. Head coach Monty Williams does not want the veteran guard to suffer a needless injury. The Suns have a small chance of catching the No. 8 seed, so there is no point for them to go all-in. Devin […]
