Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) suffered a left ankle sprain at the end of practice and will be reevaluated in three-to-four weeks.

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Derrick Rose Might Play on Monday
Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (hamstring) is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was able to fully practice on Sunday, which is a good sign moving forward. However, it's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Pistons may remain cautious. Bruce Brown and Luke Kennard would […]

Rajon Rondo is Making Progress
Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) was able to go through some 5-on-5 work during Monday's practice. He's listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Simmons will be re-evaluated […]
Derrick Rose, Tim Frazier Practiced Sunday
Detroit Pistons guards Derrick Rose (hamstring) and Tim Frazier (shoulder) both suited up for Sunday's practice.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Rondo is getting closer to a return, but continues to deal with a strained right calf.

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
