  • Healthy to start training camp
    Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank said Wednesday that Brown (ankle) is healthy and ready to go for training camp, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

    Advice: Brown suffered an ankle injury during Summer League action, but as expected, the rookie first-round pick is good to go for training camp. The Missouri product averaged 15.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.6 made three-pointers, 1.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks in 25.5 minutes per game during Summer League. Brown's three-point efficiency certainly stood out in college, and it appears his shot will translate to the next level, which should help him carve out a rotational spot to start 2023-24.

  • Cleared for training camp

    Advice: George missed the final eight games of the 2022-23 regular season as well as the postseason due to a right knee sprain. He was slated to resume workouts at the end of May, so it's not surprising to see him good to go for training camp. Kawhi Leonard (knee) is also expected to be a full participant, so with their two superstars back in action, the Clippers could work their way back into championship contention. Before the injury, George was playing at an extremely high level, averaging 25.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 36.0 minutes across 22 appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 1:24 pm

  • Will be full participant at camp
    Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank said Wednesday that Leonard (knee) will be a full participant during training camp, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Leonard underwent a clean-up procedure in June and was expected to be fully recovered by training camp. While Leonard was expected to be healthy at this point, it's still an encouraging sign to see the oft-injured superstar meeting his rehab timelines after numerous lengthy absences in recent years. Leonard was really starting to look like himself before tearing his meniscus in the Clippers' playoff opener last season. Over the final 35 regular-season games of 2022-23, Leonard averaged 27.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 36.1 minutes per game. If he can perform at that level for Los Angeles in 2023-24, the Clippers could find their way back into championship contention. Rotowire.com Today, 1:20 pm
  • Headed to Phoenix
    Little (core) was traded to the Suns on Wednesday as part of a three-team deal between Phoenix, Portland and Milwaukee, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The deal also sends Damian Lillard to Milwaukee, Jusuf Nurkic to the Suns, and Jrue Holiday and Deandre Ayton to Portland.

    Advice: Little, Keon Johnson and Grayson Allen all head to Phoenix in the blockbuster deal and will likely compete for depth roles on a top-heavy Suns squad. Little is a proven defender at the NBA level, but his offense has been a mystery. After a career-high year in 2021-22, Little took a step back in 2022-23 from a production standpoint, but he did shoot a career-high 36.7 percent on 2.9 three-point attempts per game. If he can maintain that efficiency from long range, Little could emerge as a quality three-and-D player for Phoenix. Rotowire.com Today, 11:42 am
  • Shipped to Portland
    The Suns traded Camara to the Trail Blazers on Wednesday in a three-team deal that will land Damian Lillard in Milwaukee, Deandre Ayton in Portland and Jusuf Nurkic in Phoenix, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Phoenix will send Camara and Ayton to Portland in exchange for Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson. Camara was drafted with the No. 52 pick in the 2023 draft by the Suns and averaged 16.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 29.2 minutes across four appearances in the 2023 Summer League. The rookie forward will likely compete for a bench role on a rebuilding Trail Blazers team. Rotowire.com Today, 11:40 am
