Anthony Edwards to Miss Up to Two Months for Right Knee Arthroscopic Surgery

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and miss up to two months, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. The decision comes after Edwards played 41 minutes in a 47-point overtime loss to the Cavaliers on Monday, despite dealing with a sore right knee. The Timberwolves are 3-1, and Edwards is averaging 33.1 points per game on 48.1% shooting this season. Ayo Dosunmu, Terrence Shannon Jr., Jaden McDaniels, and Jonathan Kuminga are expected to see increased minutes. Edwards had previously taken two months off in the summer to heal both knees after dealing with a hyperextended left knee and right knee inflammation during last season’s playoffs.

Golden State Warriors are actively seeking to trade center Kristaps Porzingis after he began seriously contemplating retirement due to postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).

Warriors Explore Trade for Porzingis as Health Crisis Threatens Career

The Golden State Warriors are actively exploring trade options for center Kristaps Porzingis, who is reportedly contemplating his future in professional basketball due to lingering effects from postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The 31-year-old has missed the entire preseason and training camp, leading to concerns about his ability to contribute to the team's playoff push. While his contract is effectively expiring, the Warriors face significant challenges in finding a trade partner willing to absorb his $20 million salary slot without receiving substantial assets in return.

Leonard Chooses Toronto Over Detroit and Minnesota for Legacy Reasons

Kawhi Leonard officially rejoined the Toronto Raptors, bypassing interest from Detroit and Minnesota to prioritize his legacy. The trade, delayed by NBA salary-cap investigations, saw the Clippers receive Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, and multiple draft picks. While the Clippers face severe penalties and a roster overhaul, the Raptors aim to bolster their defense and late-game scoring to compete for a title.

Wizards Delay Anthony Davis Extension, Vindicating Warriors' Trade Hesitation

Wizards Delay Anthony Davis Extension, Vindicating Warriors' Trade Hesitation

The Washington Wizards and Anthony Davis have mutually agreed to postpone contract extension discussions until the regular season begins, a move that validates the Golden State Warriors' recent decision to abandon trade talks. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, both sides cited unanswered questions regarding Davis's health and the team's future trajectory. Davis, who has played in only 29 games since the Luka Doncic trade, became eligible for a four-year extension worth up to $275 million on August 6, 2026. The delay suggests Davis may remain a trade candidate next season if he cannot secure a long-term deal or convince the Wizards of his value. Meanwhile, the Warriors are prioritizing cap space for the upcoming offseason and are unlikely to re-enter the market for Davis, given his injury history and the age of their current roster.

LeBron Eyes a Contender’s Pinnacle on His Own Timeline

Teams like Cleveland, Miami, Golden State, Philadelphia and Minnesota remain in consideration, but the decision isn’t contingent on any single domino, such as an Anthony Davis trade, according to Shams Charania.

LeBron's free-agent market narrows; Warriors no longer in the mix, per Shams

ESPN insider Shams Charania says LeBron James’s free-agent pursuit is focused on Cleveland, Miami and Philadelphia, with Golden State no longer a primary contender. A potential LeBron–Anthony Davis package via a Wizards trade could be discussed, but it would cost the Warriors heavily (Jimmy Butler and multiple draft picks). Cavaliers are viewed as the expected landing spot, and no final decision date has been set.

Rival executive bets LeBron James could land with the Warriors

An anonymous rival NBA executive told Forbes he believes LeBron James could eventually sign with the Golden State Warriors, citing the team’s ability to pay the $15 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception, James’ close bond with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, and the Bay Area–LA proximity; however, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the Warriors aren’t at the top of James’ destination list, and James’ agent Rich Paul warned the decision could take some time. Meanwhile, the Warriors have re-signed Kristaps Porzingis, De’Anthony Melton and Al Horford as free agency unfolds, with rookie Yaxel Lendeborg also entering the mix if James doesn’t join.)
