Draft Brasil

Nick Young has a torn ligament in his right thumb and is expected to miss the next eight weeks.
He suffered the injury in practice and the injury is to his shooting hand. Young will be the sixth man for the Lakers and should see minutes in the 20s, but his debut will have to wait about one month into the season. While he is out, Xavier Henry (back, knee, wrist), Wayne Ellington and Jordan Clarkson are candidates to fill in. Hopefully, the Lakers don't have this type of luck through the season again.

Jeff Green suffered a left calf strain on Friday and will not return to the team scrimmage.
He doesn't have any noteworthy history with calves, but the team will likely give him an MRI. He left the court under his own power and we'll update his status over the weekend. There's no reason to bump him down your draft board.

Nikola Pekovic (ankle) was back at practice on Friday.
The team is just monitoring his ankle bursitis, but it's still a concern. They are likely going to drop his minutes into the 20s this season and Gorgui Dieng will get more run as the backup. Dieng is a decent late-round flier and could become very valuable should Pek miss time.

Channing Frye suffered a sprained left MCL at practice on Thursday.
The team has already given him an MRI and it sounds like a minor sprain with no ligament tears. Frye was just overpaid by the Magic last summer for a deal worth $32 million, so this isn't a great start. He has no timetable to return, but it sounds like he should be ready for the regular season. If he wasn't Tobias Harris would see major minutes.

Tchê... que loucura!

O guapo tava subindo a barranca do rio Uruguai e deu de frente com uma jararaca, ficou mais assustado que guri em cemitério, teve uma queda e se lesionou... mas vamos aguardar os exames antes de tomar maiores providências.

Abraços!
