TDS running with the starters.

I’m sure it’s because Jalen isn’t practicing yet, but still what’s the lineup? 
 

PG: Bane

SG: Franz 

SF: TDS 

PF: Paolo 

C: WCJ 

 

Guessing it’s also because Mos is trying to get Tyus use to leading the second group. 
 

Regardless kind of strange.

Wonder if any of the preseason games are televised.

Also, I assume the opening night depth chart will be:

 

PG: Suggs/Jones/Richardson 

SG: Bane/Black/Jett 

SF: Franz/Tristian/Penda 

PF: Paolo/JI

C: WCJ/Goga 

Injury : Moe Wagner. 
 

Also, from Moe’s media day interview it sounded like January was his personal goal for return date (reading into his responses). 
 

When he does return, who do you think falls out of the 10 man rotation? (Tristan, Goga or JI). 
 

My guess is JI, but hopefully him losing some weight gets him playing elite defense again and shooting above league average from 3 again.

4th and 10th are on NBATV. 
 

And according to NBA.com all other preseason games will be broadcasted on Fandual sports network like regular season. This would be a welcomed change from years past.

Thank you.  Do you know if one has to subscribe to NBA TV to see the preseason games?

Unsure, I have YouTube TV and it’s an included channel.

I'm ready for the season. Just found this forum. Hopefully it's lively. Been looking for something since OPP closed.

Suggs still not fully partecipating in team activities... don't know if it's worrysome, or if I've underestimated last spring's injury.

I read an article on it recently.. sounds like Suggs and the team opted for a more in-depth/invasive repair to make it less likely to become a recurring or nagging issue long term.  Due to that decision, takes longer to rehab from that procedure.

It also made mention of how he still wanted to be able to go balls to the wall and not have to worry about it.
