  • Questionable for training camp
    Alvarado suffered an ankle sprain during a workout over the weekend, putting his training camp availability at risk, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Alvarado was beginning to ramp up for the start of training camp after he missed the FIBA World Cup due to a lower leg injury he suffered at the end of the 2022-23 season, but he suffered an ankle sprain during a workout. At this point, it is unclear whether Alvarado will be available for training camp or the Pelicans' first preseason game on Oct. 10. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:09 pm

  • Joins Minnesota
    Nix agreed to a one-year deal with the Timberwolves on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Nix, who spent his first two seasons in the NBA with the Rockets, will continue his career in Minnesota, presumably joining the Timberwolves on an Exhibit 10 deal. He appeared in 57 games (seven starts) in 2022-23, averaging 4.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 16.0 minutes. He'll have an uphill battle to earn a spot on the Wolves' opening night roster.

  • Inks deal with New York
    The Knicks signed Arcidiacono (back) on Friday.

    Advice: The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Arcidiacono will at least get a shot to compete for a roster spot during training camp. The Villanova product appeared in 10 games for the Knicks in 2021-22 and 11 games in 2022-23, but he's still a long shot to make New York's Opening Night roster this season.

  • Inks deal with Minnesota
    The Timberwolves signed Krejci to a training camp contract Thursday, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Krejci averaged 1.2 points in 5.7 minutes across 29 appearances for the Hawks in 2022-23. If Krejci is able to make Minnesota's regular-season roster, he will likely compete for a depth role in the backcourt. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:44 am

  • Being shopped by Rockets
    The Rockets are looking to trade Porter (personal) after he was arrested and charged with assault earlier this week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: With Porter facing potential legal punishment alongside league discipline following his arrest, the Rockets are attempting to move on from the 22-year-old. Considering Porter has experienced multiple off-the-court issues during the last five years, teams could feel uneasy about acquiring him, making him a possible cut candidate if the Rockets can't find any takers.

  • Sticks in Atlanta with two-way deal
    Atlanta re-signed Forrest on a two-way deal Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    Advice: Forrest spent the 2022-23 campaign with the Hawks on a two-way deal, averaging 2.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 12.0 minutes per game across 23 NBA appearances (three starts). The undrafted point guard out of Florida State was better during limited action in the G League, averaging 16.7 points, 6.6 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 31.0 minutes per game across seven appearances (six starts). Forrest figures to handle a similar role in 2023-24. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:26 pm
