Felton won't be able to practice for the first week of the regular season as he continues to nurse a right high ankle sprain, The Star-Telegram reports. Although, Felton still faces a four-game suspension which would have sidelined him during the first week of the season regardless.

Analysis:

Felton sprained his ankle two weeks ago and has been limited to pool exercises ever since. However, he pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a firearm and weapon in July and was sentenced to a four-game suspension from the NBA as a result. This suspension won't allow him to be available until Nov. 6 against the Trail Blazers. Barring a setback with his ankle injury, the Nov. 6 return date will likely give him enough time to rehab his ankle back to health.
