Unlikely to play Saturday Drummond (trade pending) is unlikely to play Saturday against Miami, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Although Drummond is officially questionable for Saturday's matchup, coach Steve Nash said that there's just an "outside chance" that the paperwork and exams required to finalize the transaction will be completed in time for the game against the Heat.

Unlikely to debut Saturday Curry (trade pending) is unlikely to play in Saturday's game against the Heat, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Coach Steve Nash said Saturday that there's an "outside chance" that the paperwork and exams required for the 31-year-old to play will be completed ahead of the matchup against the Heat. However, he said that it's more likely that Curry and Andre Drummond (trade pending) will make their team debuts Monday against Sacramento. If Curry is ultimately held out, Cam Thomas, Patty Mills and Bruce Brown should see increased run.

Brooklyn debut will take some time Brooklyn General Manager Sean Marks said Friday that it's too early to gauge when Simmons (personal) will make his Nets debut, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Simmons has not played in an NBA game since his horrendous performance in the Sixers' second-round playoff series against the Hawks in June. The 2016 No. 1 overall pick refused to return to Philadelphia this season after he believed his relationships with the front office, coaches and players were frayed beyond repair. However, after being dealt to the Nets ahead of the trade deadline in a blockbuster deal featuring James Harden, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports that Simmons "welcomes a change of scenery and has already had conversations with Kevin Durant." Despite Simmons' excitement, Marks tempered expectations a bit and said the Nets will need to see how he handles a few practices before they put a timeline in place for his eventual debut.
