Harrison Barnes Could Start At Power Forward

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes has an undetermined position as of right now. Head coach Luke Walton said Barnes could start at small forward or power forward. It sounds like the team plans to try out both scenarios during the preseason. Regardless, Barnes should have significant minutes without much competition at the forward position. He […]

Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro To Be Limited Friday

Miami Heat small forward Duncan Robinson and shooting guard Tyler Herro will see limited minutes in Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra.

Sandro Mamukelashvili Starting In Friday's Game

The Milwaukee Bucks' starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets doesn't look much like the starting lineup we saw in last year's NBA Finals. The team's starting five for Friday's game will be Sandro Mamukelashvili, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Jordan Nwora, Georgios Kalaitzakis and Tremont Waters. Nwora and Thanasis Antetokounmpo started the team's last […]

Jimmy Butler And Others To Rest On Friday

The Miami Heat will rest several of their primary players for Friday's preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's the second game of a back-to-back for the team, so it's not very surprising to hear the news. Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry and Bam Adebayo are the biggest names amongst the players who will be […]

Washington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will make his first appearance as a Wizard in Saturday's preseason game against the New York Knicks.

Giannis Antetokounmpo And Others Sitting Out Friday

Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will not play in the team's preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.

Patrick Williams Could Return For Season Opener

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) could be cleared in time for the season opener.

Williams was impressive during his rookie season and should be […]

Nassir Little Impressing In Camp

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little has been one of the biggest standouts during training camp this season. It sounds like Little has been impressing new head coach Chauncey Billups. The organization plans to use a 9-man rotation and eight of the players have already been named. It sounds like Little has a legitimate chance […]

Norman Powell Misses Practice With Hip Ailment

Portland Trail Blazers small forward Norman Powell (hip) was unable to suit up for Wednesday's practice session as he continues to work through a hip injury that forced him from Monday's preseason opener. Powell is coming off a sustained breakout campaign last year in which he averaged a career-high 18.6 PPG, although his offensive efficiency […]

Dillon Brooks Out Against Visiting Bucks

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks (thigh) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the defending champs. Brooks is dealing with thigh soreness, so the team will take the cautious approach and hold him out. He should be ready to go to begin the 2021 campaign.

Michael Porter Jr. Gets Massive Extension

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. reportedly has agreed to a five-year deal worth $207 million with the organization. However, the $207 million is the maximum he can make, assuming he makes one of the three All-NBA teams this season. At the lowest point, Porter would make $172 million, which is still quite a lot. […]

E’Twaun Moore Inks Deal With Orlando

Free-agent forward E'Twaun Moore agreed to a contract with the Orlando Magic on Saturday.

Keita Bates-Diop Remaining In San Antonio

San Antonio Spurs forward Keita Bates-Diop has agreed to a new two-year deal. The terms of the contract were undisclosed, but it was apparently enough to retain his services after the franchise extended a qualifying offer to him back in July. The 25-year-old former Ohio State Buckeye appeared in only 30 professional contests last season, […]

T.J. Warren Remains Out Indefinitely

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. Warren (foot) remains out indefinitely. The veteran continues to rehab after having surgery back in January to repair a stress fracture in his left foot.

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) is reportedly feeling good heading into the 2021-22 season, crediting his offseason fitness regimen. The veteran agreed to a $32 million deal a few weeks ago to keep him with the team for the next two years. When available, the 30-year-old veteran has been a relatively reliable fantasy option, […]

Kawhi Leonard Expected To Miss Entire Season

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is expected to miss the entire 2021-22 season. Leonard suffered a partially torn ACL in his right knee during the playoffs. However, after opting out of a $36 million player option this offseason, he eventually agreed to a four-year, $176 million to return to L.A., doing so despite […]

Torrey Craig Signs With Indiana

The 30-year-old has played with three different teams throughout his four seasons in the league, most recently averaging 7.2 points and 4.8 rebounds throughout 32 games with Phoenix last season. Nonetheless, it's probable he won't possess consistent fantasy value this year. However, there may […]

Kawhi Leonard Agrees To New Deal With Clippers

Free-agent forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) agreed to a four-year, $176 million deal to remain in Los Angeles. Leonard recently opted out of a $36 million player option, so naturally, many would speculate where he would end up next. However, after tearing the ACL in his right knee during the postseason, requiring surgery, the Clippers managed […]

Jimmy Butler Agrees To Extension With Heat

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler agreed to a four-year, $184 million contract extension. The move will keep him with the team through the 2025-26 season, and it comes after the 31-year-old averaged 21.5 points, 7.1 assists, and 6.9 boards throughout 52 games last season. He is also a nightmare on the defensive end, especially after […]

Caleb Martin Waived By Charlotte

Charlotte Hornets forward Caleb Martin was waived by the team on Saturday. The 25-year-old appeared in 53 games last season, starting in three of them. However, regardless of his role, he still didn't do much, finishing the year by averaging 5.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. Nonetheless, it's unlikely that he will make a […]

DeAndre’ Bembry Lands One-Year Deal With Brooklyn

The Nets agreed to a one-year deal with free-agent forward DeAndre' Bembry. Bembry played most of his career in Atlanta before landing in Canada for the 2020-21 season, averaging 5.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.0 steals throughout 51 games with the Raptors. The 27-year-old doesn't have much value from a fantasy standpoint, primarily […]

After the Heat declined a $15 million team option, the veteran will head back to Golden State, where he won three NBA Championships and was named Finals MVP in 2015.
