PG, Indiana Pacers

Edmond Sumner (illness) is doubtful to play on Tuesday.

There's a bug going around Indiana's locker room but this shouldn't sideline Sumner for very long. He's definitely a name to file away in deep-league drafts.

De'Aaron Fox
PG, Sacramento Kings

Monte McNair explained that the Kings' draft strategy will generally be based on "best player available" and that the they will "look for talent and upside" on November 18.

The most illuminating part of this report is that the Kings will be looking at drafting the best player available. Had they used that approach in 2018 when they drafted Marvin Bagley second overall, the team may have ended up with Luka Dončić. The Kings currently have one pick in the first round (12th) and three second-round picks (35th, 43rd and 52nd)

Kevon Looney
PF-C, Golden State Warriors

Kevon Looney (core muscle surgery) was able to practice without restrictions during Thursday's session of the Warriors' minicamp.

Looney underwent core muscle surgery in May and appears to be fully recovered. It is worth monitoring how he progresses through minicamp as well as the team's upcoming training camp as Looney has dealt with injuries ever since injuring himself during the team's 2019 postseason run. This is a positive early sign as Steve Kerr told the media that "He seemed to come through practice really well."

Jake Layman
SF, Minnesota Timberwolves

Jake Layman revealed to the media that he is the player who recently broke his nose and has been playing with a mask on during minicamp practices.

Layman dealt with a toe sprain that kept him out of 39 contests last year. He could be in line for a larger role if he stays healthy, especially if the team doesn't re-sign restricted free agent Juancho Hernangómez.

John Collins
PF, Atlanta Hawks

John Collins told the media that in addition to continuing to improve as a big, he has also decided to improve as a playmaker heading into the 2020-21 campaign.

Collins went on to say that he has been "working on guard stuff" and with his 23rd birthday on Wednesday, it makes complete sense that he would try and add new elements to his game. Collins has averaged 1.3, 2.0 and 1.5 assists per game over his first three seasons and we shouldn't expect that number to rise significantly while Trae Young shares the court with him. However, Collins may be looking at what Bam Adebayo has done in his third season as Bam was able to increase his assist numbers from 2.2 in 2018-19 to 5.1 in 2019-20. Collins and the Hawks will be in talks for a contract extension once free agency starts as he will be entering the last year of his rookie contract and is slated to be a highly sought-after restricted free agent when the time comes.

Bam Adebayo
C, Miami Heat

Bam Adebayo was present at Heat practice on Thursday after appearing to injure his left wrist on Wednesday.

The practice was optional, so that's a great sign for Adebayo's availability for Game 5. The team also said he was fine after last night's game but you have to take anything like that with a grain of salt given the postseason gamesmanship angle. For now it looks like the Heat have dodged a bullet but check back tomorrow for another status check.
