Scoot Henderson injured with bone bruise

No timetable has been given to the injury of the projected second-overall pick, however, Henderson downplayed the injury and hopes to be healthy by the Ignite’s G League opener on November 4th.

There were big questions surrounding Henderson and Victor Wembanyama, those two specifically, on if they should be rested after their first exhibition game. The possibility of injuries raced through people’s minds, and sure enough, it happened.

Henderson suffered a bone bruise in his knee while guarding Wembanyama during the G League Ignite’s 112-106 loss to Metropolitans 92 on Thursday.

Henderson that game finished with 0 points in 5 minutes played. Wembanyama did, changing the tune of this article, ball out again. He put up 36 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 blocks.

Victor Wembanyama's last 2 games:

Safe to say that both players, when healthy and active, put on shows when they play. Henderson, while not having an official timeline, is hopeful for November 4th as a return date.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Minnesota Timberwolves have learned that Donte DiVincenzo will be out indefinitely due to a big toe injury.

DiVincenzo injured his left foot’s big toe, which has been placed into a boot. Him and the organization will seek all options before making a final decision.

The 27-year-old’s injury is untimely, as he was just moved into Minnesota’s starting lineup. DiVincenzo put up a season-high 28 points in their loss to the Golden State Warriors.

There’s an expectation of him returning to the starting five once he is healthy.

Bucks Interested In Trading For Bradley Beal

According to Marc Stein, the Milwaukee Bucks want to get involved in this year’s trade deadline; they will do that by potentially trading for Bradley Beal. The Phoenix Suns are testing Beal’s trade value.

Currently, the Bucks have shown more interest in Beal than Jimmy Butler. Butler has been connected to Milwaukee’s radar for a while now. However, it appears a mindset shift has been made, which means Beal is in front of Butler for now.

General Manager Jon Horst has kept his eye on Beal since he wanted out from the Washington Wizards. It wouldn’t be shocking if the Bucks put together an enticing offer the Suns couldn’t refuse.

A deal with the Bucks could be done; why? Because Phoenix could see them as a third team to help facilitate Butler to Phoenix without Miami taking on Beal’s contract. It’s a win-win for all parties involved.

While interest and rumors are spiking, it is unknown if Beal would waive his No-Trade Clause to join the Bucks.

In 29 games this season, the 31-year-old is averaging 17.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists.

Karl-Anthony Towns Has Bone Chip & Sprain In Right Thumb

According to multiple reports, the New York Knicks have discovered that Karl-Anthony Towns not only has a sprain but a bone chip in his right thumb.

His right hand is his shooting hand. There is good news, though: Towns is willing to play through the injury. This injury doesn’t require surgery during or after the season.

Towns missed Wednesday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jericho Sims started in his absence.
