Dragic exited Monday's contest early due to a left shoulder injury and is questionable to return, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran point guard exited Monday's contest against Boston in the first quarter. The exact extent of the injury is still unknown.

Dragic tallied 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 win over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Dragic posted a season-high in points in the third-least minutes he's played in nine games this season. The 36-year-old veteran is averaging 9.4 points, 3.6 assists, and 1.7 rebounds in 17.4 minutes. While Dragic is unlikely to maintain his 53.6 percent shooting from three, he has been a key contributor with Lonzo Ball (knee) out.

Dragic logged 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Dragic provided adequate production during his limited time on the floor, something he is likely to continue doing all season, at least until Lonzo Ball (knee) returns. However, there is basically zero chance he slides into a more significant role, given his age and assumed responsibility. Since he can put up serviceable numbers, he makes for a safe backend option in deeper formats.

Dragic (rest) will return to the floor Tuesday, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dragic sat out Sunday's preseason tilt versus the Raptors for rest purposes but will sub back in while teammates Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan both get a breather. Dragic's role with the Bulls figures to be more inflated than initially expected following news that Lonzo Ball (knee) will miss multiple months.

Dragic and the Bulls agreed to a one-year contract July 3, Jordan Schultz of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran point guard played just five games with the Raptors last season before eventually being traded to the Spurs, where he was waived. He then signed with the Nets, where he played 16 games (six starts) with averages of 7.3 points, 4.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 25.5 minutes. With Chicago, Dragic should help provide some veteran leadership, and he will also be useful if Lonzo Ball continues to deal with injuries.

Dragic chipped in 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 116-112 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Dragic was one of Brooklyn's grittier players Monday night, hustling for loose balls and relentlessly pursuing rebounds. He led Brooklyn as a team in total rebounds as well as offensive rebounds (three). The 35-year-old is a candidate to return to Brooklyn next season.

Dragic amassed 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 114-107 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Dragic once again provided a spark off the bench for Brooklyn and has totaled 32 points over the first two games of the opening-round series. The veteran point guard appears to have a solid matchup against Boston's second unit and figures to continue providing consistent production as a reserve throughout the series, though Kyrie Irving's struggles may have factored into Dragic's increased usage Wednesday.

Dragic finished Sunday's 115-114 loss to the Celtics with 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Dragic operated as the top guard off the bench and notched his first double-digit scoring outing since March 16. When the lefty point guard has played at least 25 minutes this season, he's averaged 10.4 points, 5.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game.

Nets head coach Steve Nash said he'll monitor how Dragic (COVID-19 protocols) does on the court to determine how many minutes he'll play in Tuesday's play-in matchup against the Cavaliers, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dragic cleared the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols Monday, but he'll be limited during his first action since March 31. Since joining the Nets (16 games), the veteran point guard has averaged 7.3 points, 4.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 25.4 minutes per game.

Dragic has cleared COVID-19 health and safety protocols Monday and will be available for Tuesday's play-in game against the Cavaliers, Marc Spears of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Just minutes earlier, the Nets listed Dragic as out on their official injury report after he was unable to practice Monday while remaining in the protocols. Head coach Steve Nash said earlier Monday that he wasn't optimistic that Dragic would be cleared in time to play Tuesday, but the veteran guard has apparently tested out of protocols more quickly than anticipated. While he may be behind a bit conditioning-wise, Dragic should return to the rotation and play a key role Tuesday as the Nets look to claim the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference.
