Dorian Finney-Smith, Royce O'Neale Could Be On The Move
1 year agoBrooklyn Nets forwards Dorian Finney-Smith and Royce O'Neale are two of three players seemingly on the trade block ahead of the NBA's trade deadline on February 8. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Nets are listening to offers on both of their veteran forwards and Spencer Dinwiddie. They're expected to look for deals on just these three vets while the rest of the roster is expected to stay in Brooklyn at least until this offseason. Finney-Smith and O'Neale are two prototypical 3-and-D wings that many playoff contenders could use. It's unclear right now what the Nets are expecting in return and whether or not it would be a package of picks plus younger players or one of the two.

Dorian Finney-Smith Is Doubtful On Thursday
3 weeks agoAccording to Khobi Price of The Orange County Register, Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Finney-Smith has been dealing with an ankle injury despite starting nine last 11 games for the Lakers. Rui Hachimura (knee), LeBron James (groin), Luka Doncic (ankle), and Austin Reaves (ankle) are all out, while Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) is also listed as doubtful, leaving them very shorthanded. Gabe Vincent Dalton Knecht, Jordan Goodwin and Shake Milton could have heavy workloads during tonight's contest, especially if Finney-Smith cannot play.

Dorian Finney-Smith Good To Go Wednesday
2 months agoLos Angeles Lakers forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will be active on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed the last game before the All-Star break due to ankle soreness. Finney-Smith has been a solid addition to the Lakers rotation, but his fantasy stock has significantly dropped since his move to Los Angeles. The 31-year-old has been limited to 6.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 25.2 minutes with his new squad. On Wednesday, Finney-Smith may have a larger role in the proceedings if LeBron James (foot) cannot play. The Lakers have listed James as questionable for the matchup.
