2017-18 NBA Bric-a-Brac (Week 6)

Firing
Grizzlies fired Coach Fizdale, named JB Bickerstaff as interim coach. There are rumors of Coach Fiz was feuding with Marc Gasol (of course, there are also rumors that Gasol is on the trade block) but I don't get this move because...who was expecting the Grizzlies to be good this year? Unless the front office has decided that Fizdale is not the guy to rebuild with, then I think Fizdale has been good enough to warrant finishing the season. Puzzling move.


Injuries
Mirza Teletovic (Bucks) had knee surgery, out indefinitely. Teletovic has been one of my favorite players to watch over the last few years but the Bucks should have plenty of scoring to withstand his absence for a while.

Paul Millsap (Nuggets) had wrist surgery, out indefinitely. The Nuggets have a lot of depth, ideally they can give Millsap some extended time off to ensure his health later on.

Debuts
Up to 80 debuts in the NBA so far. The 8 latest in the last two weeks: Torrey Craig (Nuggets), Daniel Hamilton (Thunder), Jamil Wilson (Clippers), Tyler Lydon (Nuggets), Kobi Simmons (Grizzlies), Jacob Pullen (Sixers), John Holland (Cavs), Antonius Cleveland (Mavs)
