Kawhi Leonard is out for the entire 2017 preseason with a right quadriceps injury.

Leonard is continuing a rehabilitation program for right quadriceps tendinopathy.

The San Antonio Spurs will provide a timeline for Leonard's return at a later date.

Glenn Robinson III is expected to miss two months after suffering a severely sprained left ankle during practice on Friday.

Robinson suffered the injury in a practice scrimmage, crumbling to the floor after a drive to the basket.

Robinson averaged a career-high 6.1 points and 3.6 rebounds in 20 minutes a game last season. 

LeBron James suffered a rolled ankle at the Cleveland Cavaliers' practice on Wednesday evening.

James underwent x-rays, which were negative.

James sat out of practice on Thursday.

Dion Waiters said he decided not to undergo ankle surgery last March, which would have forced him to miss eight to 10 months.

The Miami Heat re-signed Waiters on a four-year, $52 million deal.

Waiters continues to push through discomfort in his ankle as training camp gets underway.

"Some days you're going to feel great, some days it might be just one of them days," he said following practice at Florida Atlantic University. "You have to push through it and be smart about the whole situation.

"The swelling just started going down. It's still a little bit swollen but it's not how it was before."

Waiters missed the final 13 games of last season as the Heat narrowly missed out on the playoffs.

"When I found out, it was only two choices," Waiters said. "I'm not a big fan of surgery, so I try to avoid surgery. I didn't want to be out eight to 10 months. I asked for another solution, 'What’s another way we can go about it?' We went that route, just getting it stronger, keep getting treatments every day all day. That's all I really do. But it’s fine, though. I’m good, man."

After signing a four-year, $94 million max contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, Chandler Parsons played in only 34 games and was largely ineffective. Parsons was booed by Memphis fans before being shut down to under surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

"You get paid a certain salary, you're judged, and you're expected to perform at the highest level when you're getting paid at the highest level," Parsons says. "To put it simply, I didn't last year. I truly believe it was 95 percent injury. I don't think I've lost my game or lost a step.

"Just physically, I wasn't there last year. I was a step slow, I wasn't athletic, I wasn't fast. I wasn't myself."

Because Parsons didn't have to go through the same type of extensive rehab as he had in the previous two summers, he could focus on training.

"I dedicated my entire summer to my body," Parsons says. "I can't even really compare it to last year because it's night and day how my body feels, the kind of shape I'm in. I'm lean. I'm playing 5-on-5, one-on-one, 2-on-2, 3-on-3. Working out five times a week. I'm doing stuff now that basically I couldn't even do throughout the season last year. It's completely different."

The Phoenix Suns fear Alan Williams suffered a partially torn meniscus.

An MRI will confirm the extent of the injury on Saturday.

Williams suffered the injury when landing on the foot of a teammate during a workout.

Williams signed a three-year, $17 million deal with the Suns in the offseason.

Joel Embiid has yet to be cleared by the Philadelphia 76ers for five-on-five drills. The 76ers will take a cautious approach as he returns from his meniscus surgery.

"If you walk in the gym, it looks like he could play 5-on-5 basketball," Bryan Colangelo said. "But we're going to take our cues from the people who know best."

According to Colangelo, those people favor a "hyper-conservative progression" for Embiid.

Colangelo also said he was optimistic the 76ers and Embiid could agree to a contract extension before the deadline.

Markieff Morris is expected to have sports hernia surgery Friday and could miss at least the NBA preseason.

Morris recently received the diagnosis, according to a source, after spending parts of the summer working out in preparation for the upcoming season.

Morris began complaining late summer about deep discomfort as he exhibited symptoms of a sports hernia. 

Morris also had a sports hernia in 2010 before his junior season at Kansas, which was treated with surgery.

DeAndre’ Bembry has sustained a strained right tricep.

An MRI performed at the Emory Orthopaedics & Spine Center on Friday, Sept. 8 confirmed the injury.

Bembry is expected to be out of basketball activity for four-to-six weeks, and his status will be updated as appropriate.

Bembry was the Atlanta Hawks' 21st overall pick in 2016 out of Saint Joseph's.

Malik Monk was forced to miss Summer League due to an ankle sprain that was described recently by Steve Clifford as a "significant injury."

Monk is still suffering from the injury.

Monk recently couldn't finish an optional workout that wasn't physically demanding due to the injury.

The Charlotte Hornets drafted Monk with the 11th overall selection in the 2017 NBA Draft.
