Updating a previous report, Faried (ankle) is not expected to play in Monday's preseason game against the Pistons, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faried was a full participant in Sunday's practice and the original expectation was that he'd be cleared for a return Monday. However, it appears the Nets will take a safer approach with their veteran big man and will give him one more night off before potentially getting him back in the lineup for Wednesday's exhibition versus the Raptors. Either way, Faried doesn't appear to be in any danger of missing time during the regular season.

Faried (ankle) went through a full practice Sunday and has been cleared to play in Monday's preseason game against the Pistons, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faried has been nursing a sore ankle recently, which forced him to sit out Wednesday's exhibition. However, after a few more day off for rest and recovery, he's feeling better and was able to rejoin the team for practice Sunday. Barring a surprise uptick in discomfort, Faried has been give the green light to play Monday, so look for him to jump in as a depth option in the frontcourt. Faried doesn't carry much fantasy intrigue into the season.

Faried (ankle) went through portions of Friday's practice, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faried missed Wednesday's preseason contest due to his ankle injury and he should be considered questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons. More information should arrive as the Nets continue practicing ahead of the contest.

Faried is out for Wednesday's preseason opener against the Knicks due to left ankle soreness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faried presumably picked up the injury during camp and should be considered day-to-day following Wednesday's game. His next chance to take the floor arrives Monday against the Pistons.

Faried pleaded not guilty in court last week to a fourth-degree charge of criminal possession of marijuana, Michael Scotto of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faried's court date stemmed from his Aug. 21 arrest for the misdemeanor offense. The NBA will presumably wait for a resolution to the legal case before deciding whether or not Faried's actions warrant a suspension. The 28-year-old is expected to serve as interior depth for the Nets this season after being acquired from the Nuggets earlier this summer.

Faried was arrested early Tuesday morning for fourth-degree criminal possession of marijuana, which is a misdemeanor, Dan Feldman of NBC Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering the crime is a misdemeanor, Faried is unlikely to face legal consequences affecting his season. However, it's possible he will face discipline by the league, which could include a suspension.

Faried appeared in 32 games with the Nuggets and averaged 5.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 2017-18.

EDGE Analysis

Faried's seventh NBA season was haunted by injuries and games missed due to personal reasons as he found himself buried at the bottom of the Nuggets' depth chart. Once a double-figure scoring center, the Morehead State product just hasn't been able to put things together during the last two season, which has made his scoring average dip to a career-low 5.9 points per game season. Faried has one year left on his hefty four-year, $50 million contract with the Nuggets and it wouldn't be surprising if they try to move him this off-season.

Faried did not leave the bench Sunday, continuing his streak of DNP-CD's.

EDGE Analysis

Faried was a healthy scratch again Sunday, having now only played in three of the last 17 games. He does not fit the style of play the Nuggets have gone for and a buyout seems as though it will be his only way to regaining some fantasy relevance. His inability to stretch the floor limits his upside in the modern game and he needs to be left on the waiver wire in all formats.

Faried (personal) is not on the team's injury report ahead of Friday's contest against the Spurs, T.J. McBride of Mile High Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faried was absent from the team's last contest prior to the All-Star break due to personal reasons, though things have apparently cleared up. That said, he's been in and out of the team's rotation lately, so his return likely won't have much of an impact.

Faried will not play in Thursday's game against the Bucks due to personal reasons, Harrison Wind of BSNDenver.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The exact circumstances surrounding Faried's absence are currently unknown, but the 28-year-old will get a head start on his All-Star break. Faried has appeared in just two of the Nuggets' last 12 games, so his absence won't have any impact on the team's rotation Wednesday night.
