Garrett Temple Waived By The Pelicans
2 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard Garrett Temple is getting waived ahead of the July 7 deadline, according to Michael Scotto of USA Today. The 13-year veteran was a deep reserve for the team and only appeared in 25 games last season. Since he was owed $5.4 million if kept past the deadline, the team decided to waive him and save the money. He already wasn't relevant in any fantasy format, however, if he signs with a competitive team in need of shooting off of the bench, Temple could find some use in deep leagues.

Garrett Temple Not Ready To Retire
2 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Garrett Temple played a very marginal role this season and will turn 37 in May, but he is still planning to continue his NBA career and wants to stay in New Orleans. The Louisiana-born veteran averaged only 6.5 minutes across 25 games with the Pelicans this season. It was his second year with the club after Temple had represented 10 different teams in his first 11 seasons in the league. Temple averaged a career-high 10.3 points and 3.5 rebounds just a few campaigns ago with Brooklyn, but he isn't somebody fantasy managers should look to draft.

Garrett Temple Comes Off The Injury Report
2 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Garrett Temple (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup against Portland. He hasn't played at all this month whilst dealing with a personal issue. In fact, Temple has made just two appearances this season, playing a total of 21 minutes, so he's a non-factor in fantasy hoops. But it's good to know that he is game-ready again following a lengthy absence.

Garrett Temple Starting On Tuesday
3 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard Garrett Temple will slide into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brandon Ingram (Achilles) remains out of the lineup, which leads to another start for Temple. He dropped 22 points during the loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. There is some low-end streaming appeal and Temple could be a low cost DFS option. It's uncertain how long Ingram will be sidelined, so Temple could have some short term appeal.

Garrett Temple Likely To Sit Friday
3 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Garrett Temple (ankle) is doubtful to play Friday against the Sacramento Kings. Temple left in the first half of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks with an ankle sprain and did not return after 9 minutes of play. Temple has been averaging about 15 minutes off the bench this season and would likely see those minutes go to Trey Murphy III. Naji Marshall will likely also see extra run, but neither are recommended fantasy options outside of very deep leagues.
