Novak's injury that forced him to leave Saturday night's game is a sprained left knee, according to C.F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Novak, who said he didn't see how the injury occurred, will have the knee examined Sunday.

Novak was forced to leave Saturday night's game against the Pistons favoring his left leg, according to C.F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Novak, who is considered day-to-day leading up to Monday night's game against Houston, had four points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in 11 minutes.

Novak will be available to play in Monday's game against the Lakers, Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Novak signed with the Bucks on Monday after ultimately being released by the Nuggets on Friday. It would be fairly surprising for the veteran to see extended time on the court immediately, although Milwaukee has lacked an ample three-point shooter all season long, meaning he could find a recurring role off the bench in due time under limited minutes.

Novak officially signed with the Bucks and practiced with the team Monday morning, CF Gardner of the Journal Sentinel reports. It's unclear at this point whether Novak will be available Monday night against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Novak and the Bucks officially completed paperwork and a physical Monday morning, and the 32-year-old has joined his hometown team. Despite going through Monday's shootaround, Novak may still be held out as he adjusts to his new surroundings. Even if he is available, it's highly unlikely Novak plays a major role in his first game in a new uniform.

Novak is set to sign with the Bucks, Marc Stein of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being traded from Oklahoma City to Denver at Thursday's deadline, Novak made it known that he was interested in a buyout, and the Nuggets were content to oblige. Novak was bought out Friday and officially cleared waivers Sunday evening. Per Stein's report, the 32-year-old was en route to Milwaukee, and the signing is expected to become official sometime Monday. Novak, a Milwaukee area native, played only sparingly for the Thunder and hasn't been a regular rotational player in several seasons, but the Bucks are starved for shooting, so it's possible he could see consistent, but ultimately limited, run off the bench over the final third of the season. In order to accommodate Novak on the roster, Milwaukee released Chris Copeland on Sunday.

Novak was released by the Nuggets Friday, Shams Charania of the Vertical reports.

EDGE Analysis

Novak was just traded to the Nuggets at Thursday's deadline, but will now be released. Novak appeared in just seven games for the Thunder this season and never carved out a distinct role on the team. He will, however, be playoff eligible after he clears waivers, should a team decide to sign Novak later this season.

Novak will likely be bought out by the Nuggets, Marc Stein of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Novak was traded to Denver on Thursday in a deal that brought Randy Foye to Oklahoma City, but the veteran was simply a throw-in in the trade, and the Nuggets are reportedly willing to work with Novak on a buyout. That would enable Novak to sign on with a new team, likely a contender, as the 32-year-old has expressed his desire to join a playoff-caliber club. Of course, another team would have to agree to take absorb Novak into an empty roster spot, but there figures to be interest given Novak's reputation as a sharpshooter and solid teammate. Per league rules, Novak would have to be bought out before March 1 to be playoff-eligible.

Novak was traded to the Nuggets on Thursday alongside D.J. Augustin in exchange for Randy Foye, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Novak has made a total of just 42 appearances on the court over the last two seasons while with Utah and Oklahoma City. The 31-year-old is more of a mentor than on-the-court asset at this juncture in his career, and that dynamic should continue while with the Nuggets as he plays behind Danilo Gallinari, Will Barton, Mike Miller, and Darrell Arthur.

Novak notched six points (2-3 3Pt) and a rebound over two minutes during Thursday's victory over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Novak has seen the court in just seven games this season, so it was rare appearance for him during Thursday's outing versus the Pelicans, as the Thunder had a commanding lead early on in the second half. Despite the season-high in points, Novak remains just an emergency option for the Thunder and on most nights won't even come off the bench.

Novak (coach's decision) didn't come off the bench in Sunday's 116-106 loss to the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Novak was active for Sunday's game with Steven Adams (elbow) out and Josh Huestis and Mitch McGary suiting up with the D-League Oklahoma City Blue, but he's still routinely struggled to see the court. Despite being fully healthy, he hasn't played in the Thunder's last 17 games.
