A quick look at what’s happening with the Sonics’ main competition.
Portland: Seattle native Brandon Roy hurt his ankle during a practice on Tuesday, and is listed as day-to-day. An MRI on Roy’s left ankle found that he had injured his left heel — the same injury that caused him to miss 20 games last year. Read more here.
University of Arizona product Channing Frye, brought to Portland in the Zach Randolph trade, will be counted on more with Greg Oden out for the year, according to this story.
Denver: Nuggets coach George Karl preached defense in his team’s first practice. The former Sonics coach wants to improve his team’s 26th ranking in points allowed last season.
The Nuggets may have the shortest backcourt in the league with 6-footer Allen Iverson and 5-11 Chucky Atkins expected to start.
Utah: Jazz point guard Deron Williams is sitting out of training camp after having his wisdom teeth pulled, and the reconciliation between Andrei Kirilenko and the team has begun.
Minnesota: A few odds and ends from the Timberwolves. The team is traveling through Europe for 10 days before the season starts.
Also, ESPN Insider John Hollinger’s Eastern Conference preview is worth a read.
That’s all for now. I’ll have a report on the second day of practice later this afternoon.
