Trey Lyles being held out of practice/Summer League for now

Something better happen trade-wise if they've got the Lyles contract in limbo causing him to fall behind. He needs to be on the court to learn but this is on DL and not Lyles or his agent.

I'm so not worried about lyles missing a little summer league action. SL really isn't that big of a deal.

Definitely not condoning it, just saying there's precedent. I'd imagine when that sorta stuff happens there's an agreement beforehand on the contract in case of injury.

Like the Jaguars rookie DE Dante Fowler, Jr, who tore his ACL in the first practice. Days before signing his rookie contract at max slot value.

Isn't the NBA different though because of draft and stash players? The NFL doesn't have that. If Saric gets injured for instance the 76ers aren't required to sign him. They simply have the right to. You could be right but I don't think so.
 
I think whatever is it... It has to do with either Phx or Spurs. What else would be holding it up? Just waiting for LA to decide where he wants to go. Knicks might get desperate but I think La is holding it up. Ps love Jordan going to Dallas! Hope Clippers reach out to the Jazz about a Favors/burks/lyles/Booker trade for Griffin/Crawford or jj

Yes... the other scenario is maybe they agreed to a sign and trade for Harris... that one seems like a real long shot and I am not sure what would be holding that up.
 
There is zero chance they are holding out Lyles on a "maybe something comes up" scenario. There is at least a decent chance something is in the works or it wouldn't be worth holding him out over $350k.
 
Jazz are luckythere are two other first round picks playing or this would have really killed Summer League.
