Cam Whitmore Lands Two-Way Deal with Nuggets
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Denver Nuggets are signing forward Cam Whitmore to a two-way contract. The 22-year-old has already joined the team for workouts after Cleveland waived him following an August multi-team trade. Whitmore averaged 9.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16.9 minutes across 21 games with Washington last season before a blood clot in his right shoulder ended his year. He posted 12.3 points per game as a Houston rookie, so the scoring upside is there. DeMar DeRozan gives Denver a proven second-unit scorer, leaving Whitmore to fight for spot minutes. He is worth monitoring but needs a regular rotation role before carrying fantasy value.

Keyonte George Agrees to Five-Year Extension with Jazz
Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George has agreed to a five-year, $157.5 million rookie-scale extension, ESPN's Shams Charania and Tim MacMahon report. The deal includes no player or team options. The 22-year-old earned the payday after averaging career highs of 23.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.1 steals across 54 games while shooting 45.6 percent from the field, 37.1 percent from three, and 89.2 percent at the line. His usage could take a hit with No. 2 pick Darryn Peterson joining Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Ace Bailey, but George's playmaking and strong free-throw shooting should help preserve his fantasy value even if his scoring dips.

Jules Bernard Returns to Timberwolves on Camp Deal
The Minnesota Timberwolves have signed guard/forward Jules Bernard to a training camp contract, according to Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot. It marks his third deal with Minnesota in less than a year after a camp stint last fall and a brief two-way contract in February. Bernard averaged 22.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.1 steals across 45 games with the Iowa Wolves last season. With LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, Ayo Dosunmu, Bones Hyland, and Terrence Shannon Jr. already in the backcourt, Bernard faces a difficult path to NBA minutes. Another stint in Iowa remains the likeliest outcome, leaving him off the fantasy radar.

David Stockton Signs Training Camp Deal with Suns
The Phoenix Suns have signed guard David Stockton to a training camp contract, according to Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot. The 35-year-old has appeared in only six NBA regular-season games, split between Sacramento and Utah, while spending most of his career in the G-League and overseas. Stockton averaged 14.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists with the Valley Suns in 2024-25. Phoenix already has Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Collin Gillespie, and Jordan Goodwin in the backcourt, leaving Stockton with a difficult path to NBA minutes. He is more likely to provide G-League depth than make a fantasy impact.

Adem Bona Suffers Foot Sprain Ahead of Training Camp
Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (foot) was diagnosed with a sprain after getting hurt while playing for Turkey in the FIBA World Cup qualifiers and will be reevaluated at the start of training camp. Bona averaged 8.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks across four qualifiers and is expected to resume on-court workouts within the first two weeks of camp. The 23-year-old posted 4.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 17.4 minutes last season. Ariel Hukporti should get an early opportunity to compete for backup minutes behind Joel Embiid, but Bona's shot-blocking gives him fantasy appeal whenever his role expands.

Trevor Keels Lands Exhibit 10 Deal with Wizards
Free-agent guard Trevor Keels has agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Washington Wizards, according to Spotrac's Keith Smith. The Capital City Go-Go recently acquired his G-League rights, giving Keels a likely landing spot if he is waived after camp. The Clinton, Maryland, native averaged 20.1 points and 3.3 assists while shooting 40.2 percent from three across 27 regular-season games for Sioux Falls last season. He later earned a two-way deal with Miami but played only 15 NBA minutes across eight appearances. With Trae Young, Tre Mann, and several young guards already in Washington's backcourt, Keels will need to earn a two-way spot before carrying any fantasy relevance.

Saddiq Bey Agrees to Three-Year Extension with Pelicans
New Orleans Pelicans forward Saddiq Bey has agreed to a three-year, $55.5 million extension, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The fully guaranteed deal includes a trade kicker and runs through 2029-30. Bey missed all of 2024-25 after tearing his left ACL, then returned to average a career-high 17.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.1 threes in 31.2 minutes across 72 games. He finished third on New Orleans in scoring. Bennedict Mathurin's arrival gives new coach Jamahl Mosley another wing scorer alongside Trey Murphy III and Herbert Jones, which could trim Bey's touches. Still, Bey should retain a steady role and remain a useful source of points and threes.

Duop Reath Lands One-Year Deal with Suns
The Phoenix Suns are signing forward/center Duop Reath (foot), ESPN's Shams Charania reports, with Arizona Sports' John Gambadoro adding that it's a one-year, veteran-minimum deal. Reath adds depth with Mark Williams (shoulder), expected to miss several months following labrum surgery. The 30-year-old hasn't played since Jan. 18 after a right-foot stress fracture required season-ending surgery, but he shot 41.8 percent from three in limited action last season. Reath can provide a floor-spacing option, though Khaman Maluach and Oso Ighodaro have the clearer paths to meaningful minutes and fantasy value while Williams is sidelined.

Elfrid Payton Agrees to Deal with Kings
Free-agent guard Elfrid Payton has agreed to a deal with the Sacramento Kings and will compete for a roster spot, HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reports. The 32-year-old reunites with general manager Scott Perry after previous stops together in Orlando and New York. Payton last played in 2024-25, averaging 3.5 points and 6.9 assists across 24 games with New Orleans and Charlotte. His path to minutes is narrow with rookie Darius Acuff Jr. and Ben Simmons ahead in the ball-handling mix, while Sacramento could carry only 14 players to preserve luxury-tax flexibility. Even if Payton makes the team, his fantasy outlook remains limited.

Knicks Sign James Wiseman to Exhibit 9 Deal
According to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, the New York Knicks have signed center James Wiseman to an Exhibit 9 contract. The former No. 2 overall pick joins Drew Eubanks, Bruce Brown, John Konchar, and Ochai Agbaji in a five-player battle for what is effectively one roster spot if New York stays below the second apron. Wiseman has played only five games over the past two seasons after tearing his left Achilles in Indiana's 2024-25 opener but owns career averages of 9.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18.8 minutes. With Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond ahead of him, Wiseman would likely need injuries to carve out meaningful fantasy value.

Ochai Agbaji Joins Knicks on Exhibit 9 Deal
According to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, the New York Knicks have signed guard/forward Ochai Agbaji to an Exhibit 9 contract. The 26-year-old averaged 5.1 points while shooting 26.6 percent from three across 62 games with Toronto and Brooklyn last season, a steep decline from his 10.4 points and 39.9 percent mark from deep in 2024-25. Agbaji now enters a five-player camp battle for what is effectively one roster spot unless New York makes another move. Even if he sticks, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Josh Hart leave limited wing minutes and little immediate fantasy upside.

Bruce Brown Lands Exhibit 9 Deal with Knicks
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, free-agent guard Bruce Brown has signed a training camp contract with the New York Knicks. New York later announced the 30-year-old is on an Exhibit 9 deal, putting him in a camp battle with Ochai Agbaji, James Wiseman, John Konchar, and Drew Eubanks for what is effectively one roster spot if the Knicks stay below the second apron. Brown averaged 7.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.0 steals in 24.4 minutes across all 82 games for Denver last season while shooting 38.5 percent from three. Landry Shamet turned a similar opportunity into a long-term deal, but Brown would still need injuries or a larger-than-expected bench role to carry much fantasy value.

Rasheer Fleming Could See Bigger Role in Year 2
Phoenix Suns forward/center Rasheer Fleming could see a larger rotation role in 2026-27, with John Voita of Bright Side of the Sun projecting him as the backup power forward with occasional minutes at center and small forward. The 22-year-old averaged 4.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 12.2 minutes as a rookie, but those numbers climbed to 6.6 points and 3.4 rebounds in 18.9 minutes across 24 of Phoenix's final 25 games. Miles Bridges projects to start, leaving Fleming to battle Ryan Dunn and rookie Koa Peat for reserve minutes. Fleming showed late-season shooting growth, but he still needs a steady role before becoming a reliable fantasy option.

William Baker Joins Hawks on Camp Deal
The Atlanta Hawks have signed center William Baker to a training camp deal, according to Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot. The 25-year-old went undrafted in 2024 out of LSU and played for the Osceola Magic last season, averaging 9.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 18.5 minutes over 43 G League appearances while shooting 62.7 percent from the field and 36.6 percent from three. That is a useful skill set for a 6-foot-11 big, but Atlanta already has plenty of frontcourt depth behind starting center Onyeka Okongwu. Baker is more likely to spend most of his time with the College Park Skyhawks than crack the Hawks' regular-season rotation.

Sean McNeil Signs Camp Deal with Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers signed guard Sean McNeil (calf) to a training camp contract Tuesday, according to Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot, keeping him in the organization after two seasons with the Cleveland Charge. The 28-year-old averaged 10.1 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 24.0 minutes across 30 regular-season games last year, up from 4.2 points in 2024-25. He also knocked down 2.1 threes per game at a 42.3 percent clip. McNeil ended last season inactive with a calf injury, and Cleveland owns his G-League rights, making another stint with the Charge a realistic outcome. He remains off the fantasy radar unless he earns a meaningful NBA role.

Deivon Smith Joins Warriors on Camp Deal
The Golden State Warriors signed guard Deivon Smith to a training camp contract Tuesday, according to Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot, putting him in contention for the team's final two-way opening. Smith strengthened his case during Summer League, recording 21 points on 9-for-14 shooting, nine rebounds and three assists in the title-game win over Memphis. He also averaged 16.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.7 steals across three starts for College Park before Santa Cruz acquired him for two G-League draft picks in February. With Golden State's 15 standard spots filled and LJ Cryer and Malevy Leons on two-way deals, Smith faces a crowded path to NBA minutes and carries little fantasy value unless he secures the final slot.

Chance McMillian Returns to Warriors on Training Camp Deal
The Golden State Warriors signed guard Chance McMillian to a training camp contract Tuesday, according to Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot, giving him another opportunity with the organization. McMillian spent last season with the Santa Cruz Warriors, averaging 17.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 5.1 assists across 30 regular-season G-League games while shooting 35.8 percent from deep. Golden State already has 15 standard contracts, while LJ Cryer and Malevy Leons occupy two-way spots, and Lajae Jones remains in the mix for the third. With a crowded roster ahead of him, McMillian is more likely to end up back in Santa Cruz than make a fantasy impact this season.

Knicks Waive Igor Milicic
The New York Knicks have waived forward Igor Milicic, the team announced. The move comes days after he agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with the defending champions. Westchester already holds his G League rights after a trade with Delaware, and Milicic can earn a bonus of up to roughly $91,000 if he spends at least 60 days with the affiliate. He averaged 6.9 points in 18.8 minutes across 45 games with the Blue Coats last season, shooting 40.2 percent from the field. The Polish forward posted 18 points and eight rebounds against Germany in World Cup qualifying last month, but he carries no fantasy value at the NBA level. The bigger fantasy question is how New York fills out its frontcourt after losing Mitchell Robinson to Boston, with Andre Drummond as the veteran reinforcement.

Liam Robbins Signs Exhibit 10 Deal with Knicks
The New York Knicks have signed center Liam Robbins to an Exhibit 10 contract, the team announced. Robbins earned the camp look after a solid Las Vegas Summer League run, highlighted by 15 points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals, and four blocks against Detroit. The 2023 SEC Defensive Player of the Year now joins New York's third-center competition behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond, giving the Knicks another rim-protection option after Mitchell Robinson left for Boston. Robbins' NBA experience is thin, as he logged just 57 minutes across 13 games with Milwaukee in 2024-25. The Exhibit 10 structure leaves room for a two-way conversion, but Robbins will not have fantasy value unless he makes the roster and injuries thin out New York's frontcourt.

Drew Eubanks Set to Join Knicks on Camp Deal
Free-agent center Drew Eubanks (thumb) is signing a training camp deal with the New York Knicks and will compete for a roster spot, according to SNY's Ian Begley. The 29-year-old big man had been unsigned since his 2025-26 season with Sacramento ended in March, when he underwent surgery to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb. Before the injury, Eubanks averaged 5.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks in 13.1 minutes across 42 games with the Kings. The defending champion Knicks have been looking for another center since Mitchell Robinson left for Boston, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond already set as the top two options. Even if Eubanks makes the team, he would likely be the third center and would need an injury in front of him to get on the fantasy radar.

Anthony Gill Returns to Wizards on One-Year Deal
The Washington Wizards have re-signed forward Anthony Gill to a one-year deal, according to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto. Gill now holds Washington's 15th roster spot, keeping him in a familiar end-of-bench role after six seasons with the team. The 33-year-old is coming off the best statistical year of his career, averaging 5.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in a career-high 17.3 minutes while shooting 62.8 percent from the field. He also made eight starts for a Wizards team that finished 17-65. That opportunity should be harder to find this season, with Anthony Davis, Alexandre Sarr (foot), Deandre Ayton, and No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa all in the frontcourt mix. Gill remains a trusted locker-room piece, but he will need injuries ahead of him to carry any fantasy value.
