    Rookie guard Jared McCain has suffered a UCL tear in his thumb, casting doubt on his availability for the new season after last year’s meniscus injury. His absence could open minutes for VJ Edgecombe and heighten urgency in Quentin Grimes’ contract talks. McCain averaged 15.3 points last year before injury cut his campaign short. With Embiid and George also rehabbing knee surgeries, Philadelphia’s depth faces early strain. Media day will shed light on timelines, but the Sixers’ guard rotation may require reshuffling.

    Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is working to add a post-up and midrange game, inspired by Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, aiming for more consistency in big games. Despite back-to-back Western Conference Finals runs, he remains inconsistent in playoff scoring. Edwards has studied Jordan and Bryant tapes, seeking to integrate fadeaways and mid-post scoring into his arsenal. His 27.6 points per game dipped in the postseason, with poor midrange accuracy. Developing new dimensions could elevate him from All-Star to genuine franchise superstar.

Yet, he stressed team-first values, accepting a bench role if required by new Knicks coach Mike Brown. Hart referenced his message of sacrifice, saying it would be selfish to demand starts. Brown will use camp to decide the fifth starter alongside Brunson, Bridges, Anunoby, and Towns. Hart’s versatility and willingness to adapt reinforce his value to the Knicks’ deep rotation.

    September 2025

    Indiana have signed veteran guard Monte Morris on a one-year Exhibit 9 contract, providing depth behind Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell. The 30-year-old averaged 5.2 points in Phoenix last season and brings steadiness as the Pacers adjust without Tyrese Haliburton. The deal protects Indiana financially if Morris is waived while offering him a shot to prove his value. With Haliburton sidelined, Morris adds experience to a backcourt rotation already featuring Bennedict Mathurin and Ben Sheppard as Indiana push to stay competitive in the East.

    Despite expectations of a quick separation, 37-year-old Kevin Love is still with the Utah Jazz and preparing for training camp. The veteran forward, acquired in a summer trade, has yet to begin buyout talks, keeping teams and fans guessing.

His uncertain status has contenders monitoring closely, awaiting clarity before the season begins.

    Golden State Warriors
    September 2025

    Golden State have only nine players signed with camp looming, and Jonathan Kuminga’s unresolved contract is delaying moves for Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, and Gary Payton II. Kuminga averaged 15.3 points last season but remains stuck between a $72.5m deal and a one-year qualifying offer. The team’s offer includes a three-year, $72.5m package with a team option, but his agent concedes signing may make a trade before February inevitable. Kuminga risks surrendering $40m guaranteed if he chooses the qualifying deal, leaving Golden State’s depth in limbo.
