New York Knicks forward Josh Hart has decided to opt-in to his $12.9 million player option for next season. The two sides have been reportedly discussing an extension, but it sounds like they will put that on pause for now. Next offseason, the Knicks will be able to offer Hart a four year, $81 million […]

Cedi Osman Returning To Cleveland

The Cleveland Cavaliers have fully guaranteed the contract of Cedi Osman for the 2023-2024 campaign. The 28-year-old will receive $6.7 million for next season, which is a reasonable deal given how well Osman has played for Cleveland in the past. Throughout his career, Osman has averaged 9.6 points and 1.5 triples during his six seasons […]

Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond was expected to opt-in to his final year of his contract.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones will become a restricted free agent after the team declined his team option on Thursday.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden has decided to opt in to his $36.5 million player option for next season.

Instead of staying, Harden and […]

Knicks Pick Up Team Option On Miles McBride

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride will be with the organization for at least one more season. On Wednesday, the Knicks decided to pick up the $1.8 million team option on McBride. This seemed like a no-brainer for the Knicks with how well McBride played in limited action for the team. Last season, McBride only […]

Kyrie Irving Expected To Return To Mavericks

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving is one of the bigger names expected to hit the open market this offseason. However, the expectation is that Irving is going to re-sign with the organization once free agency begins. It sounds like the 31-year-old has limited legitimate options if he does decide to leave Dallas. The Mavs could […]

Clippers Tender Qualifying Offer To Moussa Diabate

The Los Angeles Clippers have tendered a two-way qualifying offer to forward Moussa Diabate. Doing this makes the 21-year-old a restricted free agent this summer. Diabate made the all-rookie team in the G-League this past season. He has left a strong impression on the Clippers organization. Last season, Diabate averaged 15.9 points, 12.3 rebounds, and […]

Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans and […]

Raptors Focused On Re-Signing Fred Vanvleet, Jakob Poeltl

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet and center Jakob Poeltl are both expected to hit the open market this summer. Despite that, it sounds like the organization is making a strong push to bring both players back. The Raptors gave up a protected first-round pick in exchange for Poeltl at the trade deadline. They'd hate to […]

Cavaliers Don't Intend On Trading Darius Garland

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland doesn't appear to be on the trade block this offseason. The organization reportedly hasn't discussed moving Garland and don't intend on trading the All-Star guard. This doesn't come as a shock considering they've locked up Garland through the 2027 campaign. The 23-year-old has been reliable, averaging 21.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, […]

Gabriel Moreno Resting On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno is out of Wednesday's starting lineup versus the Tampa Bay Rays.

Carson Kelly will start behind the […]

Luis Rengifo Absent On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The 26-year-old snapped his four-game hitless streak with a triple during Tuesday's game. Despite that, he'll get a breather on Wednesday, but should be back in the lineup soon. In the meantime, Eduardo Escobar will […]

Jose Trevino Not In The Lineup On Wednesday

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 30-year-old catcher.

Brandon Pfaadt Likely To Start On Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt is expected to take the ball against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. The 24-year-old has rejoined the D-Backs roster after a strong stint in Triple-A. Pfaadt made five starts for the D-Backs early in the season before being demoted on May 26. The right-hander was impressive in spring […]

Marcus Stroman To Throw Bullpen Session On Thursday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (finger) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday. The right-hander was pulled out of his start on Sunday due to a blister on his right index finger. This doesn't appear to be something that should force Stroman onto the injured list. The expectation is that he's going […]

Seiya Suzuki Absent On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) is absent from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies. It sounds like Suzuki woke up with neck stiffness, so the team doesn't want to risk anything. This doesn't sound like a significant injury, so fantasy managers should consider Suzuki as day-to-day. In the meantime, Christopher Morel will cover […]

Shohei Ohtani Remains In The Lineup On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/pitcher Shohei Ohtani (finger) will remain in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The two-way superstar was removed from Tuesday's start due to a cracked fingernail. This appears to be a minor issue and it won't keep Ohtani out the lineup on Wednesday. He'll serve as […]

Cal Quantrill Expected To Start On Friday

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Cal Quantrill (shoulder) is scheduled to return for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The right-hander has been sidelined since the beginning of June due to a shoulder issue. He looked sharp during his lone rehab start on Sunday in Double-A. Before the injury, Quantrill had a 5.61 ERA (4.92 FIP), […]

Michael Massey Could Avoid Rehab Assignment

Kansas City Royals infielder Michael Massey (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list last week. He has been dealing with a left hand laceration, but might be able to return sooner than expected. The 25-year-old is scheduled to take batting practice prior to Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. If all goes well, Massey […]

Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Manager Alex Cora mentioned that Yoshida is being held out of this contest due to general soreness. He continued by saying that Yoshida is available off the bench and should return to the lineup on Wednesday. […]

Brandon Woodruff Throws Successful Bullpen Session

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) was able to throw a successful 25-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. The right-hander was able to mix in both fastballs and breaking pitches during this session. The expectation is that Woodruff will continue raising his pitch count during bullpen sessions until he's ready to face live hitters. The […]

Cody Bellinger Returning On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The left-handed slugger missed the finale of the London Series due to a minor illness. It appears he's set to return and will only miss one game because the team had a scheduled off-day on Monday. […]

Matthew Boyd To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (elbow) has been placed on the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. That is not good news after Boyd exited early during Monday's start against the Texas Rangers due to elbow discomfort. Now, it appears the left-hander is set to miss the rest of the season due to a partial […]

Damian Lillard Remains Committed To Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard met with the organization on Monday to discuss the direction of the team. The meeting must've gone well as general manager Joe Cronin said the team remains committed to building a winner around Lillard. It seems like every offseason the trade rumors swirl around Lillard, but he never leaves. […]

Orlando Robinson, Jamal Cain Receive Qualifying Offers

Miami Heat center Orlando Robinson and forward Jamal Cain have both received two-way qualifying offers from the organization. Both players are restricted free agents, so doing this gives the Heat a chance to match any offers these players receive in free agency. However, it sounds like both players already intend on playing for the Heat's […]

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama has decided to not play for France in the upcoming FIBA World Cup.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren (foot) is hopeful to suit up for the upcoming summer league, according to the team's general manager Sam Presti.
