Spurs rookie guard Blake Wesley was assigned to the G League Austin Spurs on Tuesday for practice, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express News tweets. He’s expected to return to the NBA team on Wednesday. Wesley could soon be back in action after being sidelined since late October with an MCL sprain. At that time, he was expected to be out six-to-eight weeks, so it appears he’s progressing as scheduled.
We have more from the Southwest Division:
- Josh Green will miss the Mavericks‘ game against the Cavaliers on Wednesday, the team’s PR department tweets. Green hasn’t played since Friday due to a right elbow sprain. He did some dribbling drills and an individual shooting workout after practice on Tuesday, Callie Caplan of the Dallas Morning News tweets.
- The Grizzlies went 1-5 without Desmond Bane at one point but have now won six straight with the shooting guard sidelined by a toe injury. They’ve achieved that due to Ja Morant‘s playmaking, Dillon Brooks getting more minutes with the second unit and Jaren Jackson Jr. becoming a dominant force, according to Damichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
- The Rockets will have significant cap space after this season. How should they use it? The Athletic’s Kelly Iko and Danny Leroux explore that topic.
Houston has been smart spending, thus far. The KPJ contract can turn out to be a 1 year deal and they have a solid nucleus.
Dillon Brooks and that solid -3.7 career VORP. Is that the lowest for active players?
The Rockets have drafted well. I believe if the players they have keep progressing that they save that money to extend them. It worked for the Warriors.
Agreed, Green, Sengun Smith all should be AS level players. Tari, Garuba & even Christopher could also grow into top role players or higher.
Along with the addition for KPJ and KJ Martin for next to nothing I think Stone deserves some props on how he has handled business.
Even the Harden trade looks like an ALMOST good call now(almost because Allen was a miss, should’ve held onto him, essentially gave up an AS centre for TyTy Washington).
Silas is the worst coach in the Association
