Lydon (hip) was waived by the Kings on Monday, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lydon was let go to free up a roster spot for DaQuan Jeffries, who was claimed off waivers and signed to a two-way contract Monday. The 23-year-old Lydon sat out the team's final preseason game due to a hip injury, so he may have to prove his health before finding work elsewhere.

Lydon (hip) will not play in Wednesday's exhibition game against Melbourne United.

EDGE Analysis

Lydon has been nursing right hip inflammation all week and will miss Sacramento's final exhibition as a result. It remains to be seen whether he'll be healthy for the start of the regular season next week.

Lydon will not play in Monday's preseason game against the Jazz due to right hip inflammation, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neither the severity of Lydon's injury or how he suffered it are clear at this point, but it will leave him sidelined for at least one contest. This is the Kings' last preseason game, so Lydon will have a little over a week to recover before the start of the regular season.

Lydon signed a two-year contract with the Kings on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lydon spent the 2018-2019 season with the Nuggets, averaging just 0.9 points over 25 contests. He figures to be in line for a bench role while with the Kings.

The Nuggets recalled Lydon on Monday from the G League's Capital City Go-Go.

EDGE Analysis

With the Go-Go's season coming to an end Saturday, Lydon should be up with the Nuggets for the remainder of the season. After Denver declined his third-year option back in October, Lydon doesn't have a place in the club's present or future plans and is unlikely to garner anything more than garbage-time run down the stretch.

Lydon (concussion) is available to play in Wednesday's tilt with the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Lydon's set to return after a three-game absence due to a concussion. His return likely won't have much of an affect on the Nuggets' rotations as Lydon's playing just 4.1 minutes per game on the season.

Lydon (head) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings, T.J. McBride of MileHighSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lydon is still in the concussion protocol after missing Monday's game. He's only seen minor action off the bench this season and his status won't have a large impact on the Nuggets' rotation. If Lydon is unable to play Wednesday he'll figure to return after the All-Star break.

Lydon (head) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat, Harrison Wind of BSNDenver.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lydon is currently in concussion protocol after taking a shot to the head during practice. The second-year player out of Syracuse hasn't played more than 10 minutes this season, so his absence shouldn't have much of an effect on the Nuggets' rotation.

Lydon had zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, and one assist in nine minutes during Tuesday's 142-111 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Lydon has appeared in three of the last four games, but this was just the 15th time he has seen the the floor this season. Moreover, he hasn't earn double-digit minutes even once. As a result, he can be avoided across all formats.

Lydon had his third-year option declined Wednesday, Michael Singer of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lydon was the 24th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. He had his rookie campaign cut short as a result of a torn meniscus in January. Since then, he's apparently not done enough to convince the organization he's worth the investment. As a result, Lydon will become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
