Fri Jul 11 2014 | 11:17 | Warriors officially sign Shaun Livingston |
The Warriors officially signed Shaun Livingston to a three-year, $16 million deal on Friday. |
Livingston averaged 8.3 points, 3.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals with the Nets last season, and he'll play both guard positions off the Warriors' bench this season. In other news, Golden State's $9.8 million traded-player exception expired on Thursday without being used, likely because LeBron James' indecision has frozen most trade talks and negotiations. |

Tue Jul 1 2014 | 20:38 | Report: Shaun Livingston to Warriors |
Combo guard Shaun Livingston will sign with the Warriors for three years and $16 million, according to Yahoo! Sports. |
We had Livingston tied to the Warriors about 20 hours ago and it appears to be happening. They're not going to bring back Jordan Crawford and Steve Blake, so the need for a solid combo guard was apparent. Livingston's return from a devastating knee injury is one of the league's best stories of all time, and he could be an exciting player off the bench for the Warriors next season. |

Tue Jul 1 2014 | 02:24 | Warriors said to be looking for reserve guard |
The Warriors are said to be desperately looking for a back up guard, with names like Shaun Livingston, Darren Collison, Patty Mills, Ramon Sessions, Mario Chalmers and Rodney Stuckey all in the mix. |
All of the aforementioned should be in the Warriors' price range and they need a combo guard, as they're not bringing back Jordan Crawford or Steve Blake, leaving only Nemanja Nedovic as a back up guard. |

Thu Jun 26 2014 | 10:00 | Kings could be interested in Shaun Livingston |
The Sacramento Kings are reportedly interested in signing unrestricted free agent Shaun Livingston as their starting point guard. |
With restricted free agent Isaiah Thomas' future in Sacramento still undecided, the 28-year-old Livingston could serve as the Kings' Plan B if Thomas receives an offer they don't want to match. There have also been rumblings about moving Thomas to a super sixth man role or even trading him, so it's also possible that Livingston could serve as Sacramento's Plan A here. He averaged 8.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 3.4 dimes, and 1.2 steals for the Nets last season and would become an interesting fantasy option if he found himself starting for the Kings. |

Thu May 15 2014 | 13:23 | Shaun Livingston bound for free agency? |
The Nets would like to retain free agency-bound Shaun Livingston, but may be priced out of retaining his services according to sources. |
Livingston served as a solid (and healthy) backcourt option for the Nets this season and averaged 8.3 points, 2.7 boards, 3.4 assists, and 1.2 steals over 76 regular season games. The Nets want to hang onto the 28-year-old, but don't have a lot of cap space and will need Livingston to take a steep hometown discount to have any chance of re-signing him. |

Tue May 6 2014 | 17:39 | Shaun Livingston back in Nets starting lineup |
Shaun Livingston will return to the Nets' starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 1 matchup vs. the Heat, sending Alan Anderson back to the bench. |
"We're going back to how we were," said coach Jason Kidd, who started Anderson at SG for Games 6 and 7 vs. the Raptors in the first round. Livingston averaged only 14 minutes per game in those contests, but vs. the Heat he should get closer to the 26 minutes he played during the regular season. |

Shaun Livingston (illness) played 29 minutes against the Raptors on Friday with three points, six boards, four assists and one steal. |
He missed Thursday's practice due to an illness and it didn't seem to affect him tonight. Livingston did only take three shots from the field tonight, which is not really a big surprise since he's not really a volume scorer. He'll be ready for Sunday's Game 4. |

Fri Apr 25 2014 | 10:23 | Livingston still on track to play Friday |
Shaun Livingston (illness) remains on track to play in Friday's Game 3 despite sitting out the morning shootaround. |
Coach Jason Kidd said he'd be stunned if Livingston didn't suit up. Through the first two games of the series, Livingston is averaging 11.0 points, 4.0 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 28.0 minutes. We'd project similar numbers Friday night. |

Thu Apr 24 2014 | 12:56 | Shaun Livingston will play in Game 3 |
Nets' coach Jason Kidd said that Shaun Livingston (illness) will play in Game 3. |
Well that solves that. Livingston missed Thursday's practice with his illness, but Kidd's words left no open questions as to whether the 28-year-old will suit up for Friday's Game 3 matchup against the Raptors. Livingston is averaging 11.5 points in 28 minutes per game in the series so far, so he should see plenty of minutes on Friday as the Nets attempt to take the series lead at home. |

Shaun Livingston (illness) missed Thursday's practice. |
Livingston started and scored 12 points in 27 minutes of action during Tuesday's Game 2 loss, but could be in danger of missing Friday's Game 3 if his illness persists. We'll update his status after shootaround on Friday, but Marcus Thornton and Alan Anderson would be in line to pick up some minutes if Livingston is unable to suit up. |

Sat Apr 19 2014 | 19:02 | Shaun Livingston (toe) back in action vs. TOR |
Shaun Livingston (toe) played 29 minutes in his return to action on Saturday, scoring 10 points with three rebounds and three assists in the road victory. |
Livingston was typically effective, making 4-of-6 FGs and both of his FT attempts, and his return took some pressure off fellow starters Deron Williams and Joe Johnson. He averaged 26.0 minutes per game and the Nets don't play again until Tuesday, so Livingston should be raring to go for Game 2. |

Shaun Livingston (toe) will sit out Wednesday's road game in Cleveland. |
This marks Livingston's fifth straight DNP and the Nets can only hope that he's ready for the first round of the playoffs, as he's been an invaluable part of their backcourt rotation all season long. Marcus Thornton and Alan Anderson will take on more minutes and responsibilities in his continued absence. |

Shaun Livingston will not play again on Tuesday, as he continues to deal with an injured big toe. |
Livingston has now missed four straight games, but as long as the toe's not broken, you have to think he'll be ready for the playoffs. Marcus Thornton should once again see big minutes in his absence. |

Sat Apr 12 2014 | 12:59 | Shaun Livingston (toe) will not play vs. ORL |
Shaun Livingston (toe) has been ruled out of Sunday's game, according to coach Jason Kidd. |
This makes three DNPs for Livingston, who has a sore big toe, and with Alan Anderson (abs) also sidelined the Nets may once again start Andrei Kirilenko at SF and Joe Johnson at SG. Livingston should be considered questionable for Brooklyn's final back-to-back set on Tuesday and Wednesday. |

Shaun Livingston (toe) will not play in Friday's game against the Hawks. |

Tue Apr 1 2014 | 23:06 | Shaun Livingston (wrist) scores 17 points |
Shaun Livingston played with his wrist wrapped after a hard fall in the first quarter on Tuesday, but he finished with 17 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block. |
His wrist didn't seem to affect his shooting, as he made 6-of-12 FGs and 5-of-6 FTs in 29 minutes, so we're confidently leaving him off the injury report. Even though he rarely plays more than 30 minutes in a game, Livingston has been a reliable top-75 fantasy option for the past two months. |
