Coach Chauncey Billups said Wednesday that Snell (foot) is trending in the right direction but may not be ready for the season opener against the Kings on Oct. 20, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Snell hasn't played during the preseason due to his right foot sprain, and he'll be unavailable for Wednesday's exhibition game against the Suns. Regardless of whether the forward is ready to begin the regular season, it's unlikely that his injury will force him to miss significant time.
