Dallas will be missing four players for its preseason game against Houston in Macao. Santi Aldama is recovering from right knee surgery and Dereck Lively II from right foot surgery. Morez Johnson Jr. will sit for rest, while Marcus Sasser is nursing left adductor soreness.
Memphis has signed Santi Aldama to a multi-year contract. No terms disclosed.
Dan Favale of Bleacher Report lists Dereck Lively II among young players who could hit the trade block, pointing to his injury record, the final year of his rookie deal and a Dallas frontcourt now built around Cooper Flagg.
Milwaukee locked up Bogoljub Markovic on a four-year, $9.26M deal using the second-round pick exception after his MVP season in Serbia's ABA League.
