NBA Player News

Summer League hasn’t been kind to the 10th pick of the draft. Williams has a total of 13 points on 6-of-15 shooting across 49 minutes, which isn’t ideal. Summer League doesn’t define a player, especially a rookie, so these early struggles shouldn’t discourage managers too much. Still, it would be nice to see him improve over the next few weeks. Regardless, Williams isn’t a player that managers should be targeting in redraft leagues this upcoming season due to the amount of competition that he will have for minutes.

Kawamura should be available to play after a few recent absences, but even when healthy, he doesn’t play much of a role for Memphis.

After missing their last game, Konchar will be back in the lineup when they take on the Mavericks. Desmond Bane (ankle) is listed as doubtful, which means that Konchar may be able to slide into the starting unit. Luke Kennard is still sidelined, so Konchar should play a large role regardless.

Bane is expected to be sidelined for this game after recording a double-double during Saturday’s loss. John Konchar will be back after missing that game and will have a good chance to move into the starting unit.

With Jalen Suggs (back) sidelined, Anthony will get his first start of the season after dishing out 11 assists off the bench in their last game. Anthony Black (back) will be available to play and should fill out the backup point guard minutes.

Utah will be without Lauri Markkanen, John Collins and Keyonte George in this game, which allows for them to roll out three new starters in Collier, Juzang and Potter. Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski should also play large roles off the bench due to the lack of available players for the Jazz in this game.

Gillespie should be available after missing nearly two months with an ankle fracture. However, he wasn’t part of the team’s rotation prior to his injury, and that shouldn’t change.

Garze may be able to suit up in this game, but his role for Minnesota this season has been a minimal one. His status will not impact fantasy basketball.

Minott may be available to return to the lineup to start the week, but he doesn’t play a large enough role to impact fantasy basketball.

Craig will miss a third straight game, and Billy Donovan indicated on Saturday that it may be a multi-game absence. His absence opens a few extra minutes for Julian Phillips and Dalen Terry, which doesn’t impact fantasy basketball.
