Rajon Rondo (fractured right ring finger) listed as probable for Saturday

Rajon Rondo
PG, Los Angeles Lakers

Rajon Rondo's fractured right ring finger is keeping him probable for Saturday's matchup vs. the Sixers.

The injury has had Rondo probable all week, but he keeps getting out there either way. Rondo still has the ability for moments of value, but when you balance it all out he is just a deep league play when he is healthy.

Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Russell Westbrook
PG, Houston Rockets

Stephen Silas is set to officially become the Rockets' next head coach, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

Silas, who grew up with an NBA coach for a father, is receiving an opportunity to lead a franchise after finishing a successful tenure as a lead assistant under Rick Carlisle with the Mavs. With the Rockets, the biggest obstacle will be cohesiveness – something that has proven to be difficult at times with both Russell Westbrook and James Harden on the floor. The roster is built for Mike D'Antoni, their former head coach who got rid of nearly every non-guard the Rockets had at the trade deadline in February. The front office could shuffle up the roster significantly depending on the discussions they have had with Silas to this point. Stay tuned to the goings on in Houston.

Malik Beasley
SG, Minnesota Timberwolves

Malik Beasley has been charged with threats of violence and drug possession following his September 27 arrest in Plymouth, Minnesota, according to Shams Charania of the Athletic.

The details of Beasley's situation are still a bit murky, but it seems as though he was trying to protect his residence from 'a couple' during a parade of homes tour. Beasley allegedly pointed his gun, an assault rifle, at a family who was outside of his home. To make matters worse, Charania adds that Beasley was also hit with a fifth-degree drug possession charge. This is not good news for Beasley and, unfortunately, seems to be far from over.

Kyrie Irving
PG, Brooklyn Nets

Mike D'Antoni, who was recently let go of his head coaching duties by the Rockets, has been hired to Steve Nash's coaching staff as the head assistant for the Brooklyn Nets for the upcoming 2020-21 season.

This is a key hire for GM Sean Marks and Co. after the Nash hiring. Nash has essentially zero coaching experience, NBA or otherwise, so hiring a veteran coach with lots of experience seems like a very logical move. The Nets are looking to compete for a title right away, as Nash stated earlier this week, and D'Antoni will undoubtedly be a key component of the Nets' offensive plans. The introduction of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving into the lineup at the same time is something Nets fans have been waiting over a year to see.

Marc Stein is reporting that players may only be offered a 50-game season if they insist on a mid-January start rather than the December 22 start that's being pushed by the owners.

The owners want as many games as possible so they can make money off broadcasts, while an earlier start would also help them dodge the Summer Olympics. Some players, predictably, do not want to pick things up again so soon after what will basically amount to a two-month offseason under the December plan, especially with the draft, free agency and training camps so condensed on that schedule. Expect more negotiations-through-media as we go, with resolution hopefully coming soon one way or the other.

The NBA has informed its team that they're now allowed to hold group practices, workouts and scrimmages with up to 10 players.

The league had previously been limiting the capacity of practice facilities, and while this is still a restriction, things are easing up. Perhaps the NBA is feeling confident in its protocols after they pulled off the restart in the Orlando bubble, but this is coming when the vast majority of North America is dealing with rising rates of COVID-19 cases. It's also important to remember that this move is coming with the negotiations over next season's start date in the background, with team owners pushing for a quick December 22 start date to make as much TV money as possible.
