Kobe Bufkin (shoulder) suffered a right shoulder injury in Saturday's practice and is now undergoing some testing and evaluation. As reported by Kevin Chouinard, Bufkin is already ruled out for Wednesday's season opener against the Brooklyn Nets due to his shoulder issue. He may have to miss more time, but that won't be clear until the test results come back. In the meantime,
Dyson Daniels and
Vit Krejci should see some added minutes as well as
Bogdan Bogdanovic.

Kobe Bufkin (shoulder) won't play in the Las Vegas Summer League. The 2023 No. 15 overall pick suffered a right shoulder injury during a practice session on Tuesday night, with an MRI revealing "findings consistent with right shoulder subluxation." He's expected to be ready for training camp. However, Bufkin appeared in only 17 games during his inaugural year due to a thumb injury, so his latest injury is still concerning. He also averaged just 4.8 points, meaning his fantasy stock can't get much lower heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

Kobe Bufkin (toe) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Monday versus Chicago. He will be back in action after missing 14 games with a sprained big toe. Bufkin's return should ease
Dejounte Murray's load, with
Trent Forrest being pushed into the third point guard role. However, Bufkin won't be playing enough to warrant selection from fantasy managers. He's logged only 9.9 minutes per game across nine appearances during his rookie season, averaging 3.7 points and 1.7 assists.

Kobe Bufkin (toe) has been listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against Chicago. He's been out for 14 games with a sprained toe, but there appears to be a chance Bufkin will jump back into action on Monday. He would play the backup point guard role behind
Dejounte Murray, pushing
Trent Forrest to the end of the bench. Before getting hurt, Bufkin averaged 7.3 points and 3.7 assists across three games in a larger role without
Trae Young (finger).
