Joe Harris Expected To Be Fully Healthy For Camp
Brooklyn Nets forward Joe Harris (ankle) is expected to be 100% for the start of training camp.

The 23-year-old played well last season. However, he picked things up throughout the postseason by averaging 8.6 points and 3.8 rebounds while […]
Jazz Shopping Bojan Bogdanovic
Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic could be on the move. With the team making it known it's in a rebuilding stage after dealing Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, Bogdanovic may be the next to go.

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett agreed to a four-year, $107 million extension with the team on Tuesday. With incentives, he could earn as much as $120 million.

Danilo Gallinari Sustains Meniscus Tear
Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee during a FIBA World Cup qualifier on Saturday. His prognosis didn't look favorable when the injury occurred.
