Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Trea Turner will bat leadoff against the Angels on Saturday night.

Turner has been out of commission since the end of July after testing positive for […]

Grayson Allen Dealt To Milwaukee

The Grizzlies traded guard Grayson Allen to Milwaukee in exchange for Sam Merrill and two future second-round picks.

Damian Lillard Dealing With Abdominal Issue

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (abdomen) has been playing with an injury during the Olympics. Lillard is currently dealing with an abdomen ailment, which will require further testing once he is back in the United States. Although the multi-time All-Star was able to help Team USA secure a gold medal, it is still unsettling […]

Aron Baynes Could Miss Entire Year

Free-agent center Aron Baynes (neck) could miss the entire 2021-22 campaign. Baynes averaged 6.1 points last season, a significant decrease from the year before, to go along with only 5.2 rebounds. He was recently waived by the Raptors a few days ago, and he is now reportedly dealing with significant nerve damage, which is even […]

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 […]

Khem Birch Could Be A Sneaky Fantasy Option

Toronto Raptors center Khem Birch continues to see his fantasy value skyrocket heading into the regular season. With Pascal Siakam (shoulder) expected to miss a few months and Chris Boucher likely to see more time as a power forward, Birch has a clear path toward a consistent role as an effective fantasy option. The 28-year-old […]

Chris Boucher To Spend Time At The Four This Year

Toronto Raptors center Chris Boucher is slated to spend time as a power forward this season. With Pascal Siakam (shoulder) likely to miss a month or two moving ahead, Boucher's fantasy stock is on the rise. Although he may not start, at least consistently, the 28-year-old still has a higher ceiling than most with a […]

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 […]

Andre Iguodala Heading Back To Golden State

Free-agent forward Andre Iguodala agreed to a deal with the Warriors on Friday. 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. However, the 37-year-old hasn't done much for managers over recent years, so […]

Justise Winslow Agrees To Deal With Clippers

Free-agent forward Justise Winslow agreed to a two-year deal with the Clippers. After Winslow played in Miami during his first five seasons in the league, his production significantly declined with Memphis during the 2020-21 campaign, averaging 6.8 points and 4.5 rebounds throughout 26 games. The 25-year-old doesn't have any value on the fantasy end at […]

Kevin Durant Signs Extension With Nets

The former MVP averaged 26.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 5.6 boards, and 1.3 blocks while shooting 45 percent from deep throughout 35 games last season. The 32-year-old dealt with health and safety protocols in 2020-21, and injuries have been consistent […]

Reggie Jackson Re-Signs With Clippers

Guard Reggie Jackson will remain with the Clippers after agreeing to a two-year, $22 million contract. The 31-year-old was a big part in helping L.A. navigate its way through the postseason after Kawhi Leonard (knee) tore his ACL, averaging 17.8 points while shooting nearly 41 percent from deep throughout the playoffs. With Leonard potentially missing […]

Dennis Schroder On Celtics’ Radar

The Celtics are interested in signing free-agent guard Dennis Schroder to a short-term deal. The 2013 first-round pick was a consistent victim of health and safety protocols throughout the year but still finished by averaging 15.4 points, 5.8 assists, and 1.1 steals throughout 61 regular-season games. After Boston parted ways with Kemba Walker, the 27-year-old […]

Willy Hernangomez Staying In New Orleans

Center Willy Hernangomez agreed to a three-year deal to remain with the Pelicans. The 2015 second-round draft pick has played in New York and Charlotte throughout his career before ending up in New Orleans. The 27-year-old wasn't a consistent fantasy option last season, but throughout his 12 games in the starting lineup, he averaged a […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Heading To Charlotte

Free-agent forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has agreed to a two-year, $26 million contract with Charlotte. After Oubre spent most of his years in Washington, he made stops in Phoenix and, most recently, Golden State, where he finished the 2020-21 campaign by averaging 15.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals. The veteran's health is an issue, […]

Kawhi Leonard Returning To The Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has agreed to a new deal to remain with the team.

Although he declined his $36 million player option, the team still had its sights on him, […]

Trea Turner Could Be Available On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Trea Turner (illness) could be available for Friday's matchup against the Angels. Turner, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 a few weeks ago, will be in uniform as a bench option if cleared for his debut. The 28-year-old has been fantastic this season, batting .322, with 125 hits, 66 runs, 49 RBI, […]

Huascar Ynoa Moving To Gwinnett

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand) was promoted to Triple-A Gwinnett and will be in the lineup on Friday night against Charlotte. The 23-year-old has been out for months now because of a fractured right hand. However, after making appearances in Single-A, it now appears as if Ynoa could be back on the big […]

Jake Lamb Activated On Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder/designated hitter Jake Lamb (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 30-year-old veteran has been out since the beginning of June because of a strained right quad and has most recently been working his way back at Triple-A Charlotte over the last few weeks. Throughout 31 games this […]

Julius Randle Staying In New York

Forward Julius Randle agreed to a four-year, $117 million contract to remain in New York. The final year of the deal includes a player option, and it comes after 26-year-old averaged a career-high 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 6.0 assists last season. Randle also played nearly 38 minutes in each of his 71 games, all […]

Khem Birch Agrees To Three-Year Deal With Toronto

Center Khem Birch agreed to a three-year, $20 million deal with the Raptors on Thursday. After spending his entire career with the Orlando Magic, the 28-year-old ended last season with Toronto, averaging 11.9 points, 7.6 boards, and 1.2 blocks throughout 19 games, including 17 as a member of the starting lineup. With Aron Baynes now […]

Stephen Curry Agrees To Contract Extension

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has agreed to a four-year, $215 contract extension. Although Curry has battled injuries throughout the years, he resumed his elite-level play last season, averaging 32 points, 5.8 assists, and 1.2 steals while shooting just over 42 percent from deep. Fantasy managers should consider the former MVP a top-10 fantasy […]

Otto Porter Jr. Going To The Bay Area

Forward Otto Porter Jr. is heading to Golden State after agreeing to a deal with the Warriors, and he will land a veteran's minimum salary when the free agency moratorium ends on August 6. After averaging 14.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, and shooting 44.1 percent from deep in Washington during the 2017-18 campaign, the 10-year professional […]

Rudy Deal Moving On From Spurs

Free-agent forward Rudy Gay has agreed to the terms of a two-year, $12.1 million deal to join the Jazz. While the veteran is well past his prime, he was still a solid contributor for the Spurs throughout his four seasons in San Antonio, averaging 11.4 points in only 21.6 minutes per game during his final […]

Talen Horton-Tucker Staying In L.A.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Talen Horton-Tucker has agreed to a three-year, $32 million contract to remain with the team. The 20-year-old is one of the most highly touted up-and-coming players in the league, and he will have a chance to gain meaningful minutes off the bench during his third season in the league. Horton-Tucker averaged […]

Kendrick Nunn Agrees To Deal With Lakers

Guard Kendrick Nunn has agreed to a two-year deal with the Lakers. After the Heat withdrew its qualifying offer, making the 26-year-old an unrestricted free agent, he will now head to Los Angeles to join LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis. Nunn had the potential for an enhanced role in Miami. However, after Kyle […]

Markieff Morris Heading To Miami

Forward Markieff Morris has agreed to a one-year deal to join the Heat. Although Morris didn't do enough on the fantasy end on most nights last season, he did average 10.6 points and 6.1 rebounds throughout 27 games as a starter while with the Lakers. He will likely see a similar workload in Miami, so […]

George Hill Likely Heading Back To Milwaukee

Guard George Hill reportedly plans to sign with the Bucks. On Tuesday, the veteran was waived by his former employer, the Philadelphia 76ers, so it didn't take him long to find work. Hill will head back to Milwaukee, where he played for two years, finishing his final season in 2020 by averaging 9.4 points, 3.6 […]

Ish Smith Heading To Charlotte

Guard Ish Smith agreed to a one-year deal with the Hornets on Tuesday night. The 33-year-old will now be suiting up for his 11th NBA team, although his role likely won't change despite the change of scenery.
