Robinson, who is rehabbing from offseason ankle surgery, doesn't have a clear date to return, although head coach Tom Thibodeau praised his work during the rehab process, according to Stefan Bondy of The New York Post.

So we just want to make sure we're patient and let him work his way through it."

Sims is viewed as a potential trade candidate, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.

Bridges is trending in the right direction offensively and is averaging 21.8 points per game over his last six contests, Peter Botte of The New York Post reports.
