Markelle Fultz Won't Be Ready For Opener

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) will not be ready for the regular season opener versus the San Antonio Spurs. It doesn't sound like he suffered a setback, but the organization wants to be cautious with their young guard. Fultz had surgery nearly 11 months ago, so it's a bit odd that he's not ready […]

Zion Williamson Doing 1-On-1 Work

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) was seen doing 1-on-1 work during Tuesday's practice. The organization revealed on Monday that Williamson underwent surgery to repair a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. The Pelicans are hopeful that Williamson will be ready for the beginning of the season. It sounds like Williamson […]

Al Horford Could Run The Offense At Times

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford is expected to run the offense at times, according to head coach Ime Udoka. The veteran big man only played in 28 games for the rebuilding Thunder last season. However, he was productive whenever he was on the court. The Celtics believe Horford can play a sizable role for their […]

Spurs Open To Trading Thaddeus Young

San Antonio Spurs forward Thaddeus Young is reportedly drawing interest from a few contenders. The Spurs are rebuilding and have no real need for a veteran player like Young. He could certainly be an asset to multiple contenders as a bench option. However, it's unlikely he holds fantasy value in most formats wherever he lands. […]

DeMar DeRozan Could Move To Power Forward

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan might be asked to move over to the power forward spot to begin the season, according to head coach Billy Donovan. Young forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is expected to miss an extended period of time. The Bulls have a void to fill and moving DeRozan to power forward could make […]

Donte DiVincenzo Not Cleared For 5-On-5 Drills

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte DiVincenzo (ankle) is improving, but has not been cleared for 5-on-5 practice yet. The organization is beginning training camp without him, but the Bucks aren't going to rush back DiVincenzo. Pat Connaughton will be asked to fill the void until DiVincenzo is healthy enough to return. It sounds like DiVincenzo could […]

Serge Ibaka Is Closer To A Return

Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka (back) mentioned that he is close to 100 percent healthy, but remains without a timetable. He underwent back surgery in June, which was an issue that cost him quite a lot of time last season. It's uncertain if the veteran big man will be ready for the start of […]

Jusuf Nurkic To Be More Involved

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic is coming off a horrible 2020 campaign where he only played 37 games. He saw a major regression in numbers, but things are looking up for the big man. Enes Kanter took away quite a bit of his value, but Nurkic should be able to see around 30 minutes […]

Anthony Edwards Wants To Improve Defensively

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards put together a solid second half of the season in 2020. His rookie campaign started slow, but he showed promising signs of being a cornerstone piece of this organization. Edwards recently mentioned that his goal for this season was to average two or three steals per game. That is quite […]

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. […]

Caris LeVert Could Miss Start Of The Season

Indiana Pacers guard Caris LeVert (back) is in danger of missing the start of the regular season. He has a stress fracture in his back, but the hope is that it's only a minor setback. The organization plans to do more testing, so they'll have a better timetable in the future. LeVert is coming off […]

Adam Koffler's Breakout Players to Target in Fantasy Basketball Drafts

After two irregular NBA seasons affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic, we finally have a "semi-normal" 82-game 2021-22 season on the horizon. That also means fantasy basketball is right around the corner! In my inaugural column, I'll highlight a few players I'm expecting to break out and take the league by storm this season. More than […]

Kevin Huerter Almost Back To 100 Percent

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) said on Monday that he is nearly 95 percent healed from his offseason surgery. He underwent a surgical procedure on his ankle shortly after the season ended. The Hawks are likely going to have Huerter limited when they open up training camp on Tuesday. De'Andre Hunter (knee) is still […]

Clint Capela Limited To Begin Training Camp

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (Achilles) had a platelet-rich plasma injection in his Achilles and will be limited to begin training camp. He played through an Achilles injury last season, so the team wants to be cautious. Onyeka Okongwu (shoulder) is out until at least December, so the Hawks could be without two of their […]

Jaxson Hayes Wants To Shoot More

New Orleans Pelicans center Jaxson Hayes is mainly known for his defensive ability on the court. Although, on Monday the coaching staff spoke to Hayes about attempting more shots from beyond the arc. Hayes has attempted a total of 18 (making seven) 3-pointers in his first two NBA seasons. Fantasy managers could see a slight […]

Kevin Love Never Discussed Buyout

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love mentioned on Monday that he never discussed a buyout with the organization. He denies the reports in August and mentioned he wants to be a positive force for this young team. Evan Mobley and Lauri Markkanen are expected to be the future big men in Cleveland, so Love's fantasy value […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Will Be Starting Point Guard

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. confirmed that he is going to be the starting point guard heading into the season. It's assumed the second overall pick Jalen Green will play alongside Porter as the starting shooting guard. Porter mentioned that his goal is to average 10 assists this season. He averaged 8.0 dimes per […]

Jalen Green At Full Strength For Training Camp

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (hamstring) is back at full strength as the organization prepares to begin training camp. The second overall pick was shut down during the Summer League due to a hamstring issue. The Rockets didn't believe it was a serious issue, but obviously are going to play it safe with their young […]

Robert Williams III Adds Muscle Over The Offseason

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III made it a priority to add muscle over the offseason. He wants to prove that he is worth the four-year $54 million extension he received. It appears his health is in good shape and the added muscle is a positive. The Celtics committed significant money into Williams, so he's […]

James Wiseman Continues To Move In The Right Direction

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) is expected to return at some point during the 2021-22 campaign. Although an exact date will be determined based on his progress in rehab, fantasy managers may certainly benefit by stashing him until he returns. The 2020 second-overall pick out of Memphis averaged 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds […]

Klay Thompson To Participate In Controlled Drills

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) has made good progress in his rehab over the summer and is anticipated to participate in controlled drills during training camp as a result. Reports recently surfaced that Thompson could make it back for the Christmas Day matchup against Phoenix. However, if he continues to progress in the […]

Free-agent forward E'Twaun Moore agreed to a contract with the Orlando Magic on Saturday. The deal is for the veteran's minimum and is fully guaranteed, and it comes after the 32-year-old averaged only 4.9 points throughout 27 games with Phoenix last season.

Bradley Beal Could Become A Trade Option Once Again

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal currently remains off the trade market. Still, that could change at some point throughout the year, primarily with the nine-year veteran entering the final season of his current contract. Washington would certainly love to keep Beal on the roster moving ahead. Nonetheless, if signs point toward him walking away next […]

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has yet to agree on a contract extension with his current employer. However, with the 26-year-old entering the final year of his most recent deal, the Celtics are a possible favorite to acquire his services in a trade, especially if the Bulls are in danger of not getting anything back […]
