Chicago does not have a second-round pick to forfeit until at least 2026, according to RealGM, while the Heat may not forfeit that pick until at least 2028. It remains to be seen if the NBA will wait to take a specific pick until closer to its availability, or take one sooner.

These rulings come as a result of the Kyle Lowry and Lonzo Ball sign-and-trade deals.

ANALYSIS:&nbsp;Charania adds that James will be out at least 10 days, or until he returns two negative COVID-19 tests in a 24-hour period. The Lakers' superstar has already come back from an abdominal strain this season, but is now missing extended time again as the Lakers hover at .500. It is unclear if James has COVID-19 at this time.

James will miss at least 10 days unless he can return two negative tests in a 24-hour span.

ANALYSIS: Porter just signed a five-year, $172 rookie maximum contract extension this past summer after a strong showing for Denver the season prior. With $145.3 million of that guaranteed, it wouldn't be surprising to see the franchise take this situation delicately.
Porter averaged 19.0 points and 7.3 rebounds on a career-best 44.5% from deep last season. This campaign, those shooting numbers dramatically plummeted across the board due presumably to the back injury &mdash; 9.9 points and 6.6 rebounds on 35.9/20.8/55.6 splits over nine games.

According to multiple reports, Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. is set to undergo a surgical procedure on his lower back.
