Dewayne Dedmon Ruled Out For Saturday’s Game
Dewayne Dedmon has been ruled out due to an illness. Dedmon had started each of Sacramento’s previous five contests with Marvin Bagley (foot) and Richaun Holmes (shoulder) out of the mix, but the absence of the triumvirate should pave the way for Harry Giles to see a considerable workload. Dedmon’s next chance at taking the floor comes Monday against Minnesota.

Dewayne Dedmon Listed As Questionable For Thursday
Dewayne Dedmon (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man hasn't played since early January before he joined the Sixers. That being said, it's uncertain how Dedmon is going to fit into the rotation. Montrezl Harrell has been playing well as the backup center to superstar Joel Embiid. Possibly, Harrell loses a few minutes to Dedmon, but we'll wait and see how head coach Doc Rivers shakes out his rotation. Regardless, it's unlikely that Dedmon gets enough minutes to warrant rostering in any fantasy formats right now.

Dewayne Dedmon Likely Good To Go On Sunday
Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is expected to play against the Nets. The 33-year-old journeyman has averaged only 6.0 points and 3.7 rebounds this season, so it wouldn't be a huge loss for fantasy managers if he doesn't suit up. However, with Bam Adebayo (thigh) questionable, there's a chance Dedmon may see more action. Still, it won't make him relevant from a fantasy standpoint, especially since he likely won't start even if Adebayo isn't available.

Dewayne Dedmon Returns On Wednesday
Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is set to make his return to the court on Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers. The veteran big man has missed the six games due to plantar fasciitis and the league's health and safety protocols. It's nice to have him back on the court, but he's unlikely to make a significant impact. Bam Adebayo is healthy and should see the bulk of the playing time at the center spot. That being said, Dedmon and Orlando Robinson will go back to playing minimal roles.

Dewayne Dedmon Questionable For Saturday
Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Spurs. He is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot and it's been bothering him for a while, with the veteran center a regular on the team's injury report. Despite the health issue, Dedmon has played in 21 of 26 games this season, putting up 6.9 points with 3.6 boards. He's been able to pop up with a few good performances, but Dedmon plays behind Bam Adebayo and typically doesn't get enough minutes to make a significant impact in fantasy hoops.
