Dominick

Barlow

Nance Jr. sustained the injury on Saturday against the Heat, and a timeline for his recovery will be provided following surgery. In his absence, Dominick Barlow - who was recalled from the G League on Saturday - will presumably see more run behind Clint Capela at center. With Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu providing quality frontcourt minutes and production already, Barlow isn’t a recommended add for fantasy managers.

The Hawks did not provide details when announcing Nance’s injury, simply stating that additional information would be provided once it was available. That doesn’t sound good, especially for a team already without Onyeka Okongwu (knee). If Nance is sidelined for an extended period and Okongwu is not available, Dominick Barlow may move into the backup center role. Barlow will have a shot at achieving relevance in deep leagues, but fantasy managers should not expect too much.

None of these players will play enough when available to impact fantasy basketball, so their availability isn’t all that noteworthy.

Barlow appeared in 33 games for the Spurs last season and averaged 4.4 points with 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists. He doesn’t seem likely to break into Atlanta’s rotation soon, though.

With Victor Wembanyama (ankle) out, Collins would receive the starting nod if he’s available to play. Sandro Mamukelashvili and Julian Champagnie are worth rostering regardless of what happens with Collins, as they’ll be in the starting lineup. As for Barlow, his continued absence will not impact active fantasy leagues.

Barlow’s continued absence will not significantly impact the Spurs’ rotation, as Victor Wembanyama, Zach Collins, and Sandro Mamukelashvili are available for Friday’s game.

Barlow will remain sidelined once again, though he would’ve actually seen minutes in this game behind Zach Collins with Victor Wembanyama sidelined. Sandro Mamukelashvili should fill out the center minutes when Collins isn’t on the floor after coming away with 16 boards on Tuesday.

Barlow will remain sidelined once again. Victor Wembanyama and Zach Collins are both available, so Barlow wouldn’t have seen the floor much anyway.

Barlow will miss another game on Sunday, but with both Victor Wembanyama and Zach Collins healthy and available, his absence won’t impact fantasy basketball.
