NBA Player News

Young (knee) is good to go for Thursday's game against the Magic.

After getting a maintenance day Tuesday against the Heat, Young will be back in action Thursday. He's averaging just 18.5 minutes across two appearances for the Wizards thus far, so his upside is limited.

Ware is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks due to right shoulder strain.

Ware is trying to keep his absence to a one-game minimum Thursday. Simone Fontecchio would likely see a bump in playing time in the event that Ware isn't cleared for action.

Sims (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat.

Sims remains day-to-day after missing Tuesday's game against the Suns. If he's unable to give it a go, the Bucks will likely utilize Pete Nance and Kyle Kuzma a bit more.

Wiggins (toe) is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Thursday marks a fourth consecutive absence for Wiggins, whose next chance to return from a left toe injury arrives Saturday versus the Magic. Myron Gardner is set to continue to start at power forward in his place and should see minutes around the 20s against Milwaukee.

Herro is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks due to left quadriceps soreness.

Herro could test out the issue during Thursday's pregame warmups before the Heat reach a decision on the star guard's status. If he cannot suit up, Davion Mitchell and Pelle Larsson would both be worthy of streaming attention in most fantasy leagues.

Portis (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Heat.

Portis remains day-to-day after missing Tuesday's game against the Suns. If the veteran forward is unable to shake this questionable tag, the Bucks could utilize Kyle Kuzma and Pete Nance a bit more.

Williams (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks.

The Nets have several injuries ahead of this contest, so Williams could potentially see a big workload if he can get the green light to suit up. He doesn't have a lot of upside in category fantasy leagues, however.

Traore will be rested Thursday against the Hawks.

Traore has been shouldering big workloads lately, so the Nets are giving him a maintenance day. Ben Saraf and Terance Mann could step into larger roles in the backcourt with this news.

Carrington is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic with right hip flexor soreness.

It's a new issue for Carrington, who's in danger of missing his first game of the season Thursday. Tre Johnson and Jaden Hardy would both be in line for an uptick in playing time in the event that Carrington cannot play.

Sharpe (thumb) is out for Thursday's game against the Hawks.

Sharpe will be sidelined for the second straight game Thursday. With this news, more minutes will be up for grabs for players like Danny Wolf and Ochai Agbaji.
