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

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 […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Tests Positive For COVID-19

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie has reportedly tested positive for COVID-19. There is a good chance that Dinwiddie decides to sit out the upcoming NBA restart happening in late July.

Jerian Grant Expected To Join Wizards

Free-agent guard Jerian Grant is expected to sign with the Washington Wizards. Forward Davis Bertans has opted out of the NBA restart, so the Wizards have an open roster spot.
