Murry appeared in four preseason games and tallied 14 points in 30 minutes.Roberts played in three preseason games and totaled 10 points and three rebounds in 21 minutes. Smith made five appearances in the preseason and tallied 11 points and 20 assists in 57 minutes.

Harrellson, who spent the 2014-15 season overseas, signed a training camp deal Tuesday with the Wizards, Yahoo's Shams Charania reports.

Harrellson recently participated on the Suns' Summer League team after spending time playing in China and Puerto Rico. The Wizards already have 15 guaranteed contracts, so the probability of Harrellson winding up on the roster after training camp is very slim. It's much more likely that he'll spend the 2015-16 season in the D-League or overseas.

Pistons waive C Josh Harrellson.

This move is to pave the way for Caron Butler, but Harrellson's knee injury last season didn't give him much of a chance to stay with Detroit.

Josh Harrellson (knee) will not play on Monday vs. the Knicks.

He's been out since Feb. 1 with his meniscus tear and has no timetable to return. Harrellson played just 9.9 minutes per game before suffering the injury this season.

Josh Harrellson has a slight tear in his left meniscus and will go through a rehab session.

He's missed the last two games with knee soreness and the Pistons have pinpointed the problem. He will likely miss an extended period of time, so the Pistons might look to change around their rotation a bit to compensate. The team shouldn't have too much of a problem replacing Harrellson's 9.9 minutes per game.

Josh Harrellson (knee) will not play against the Magic on Wednesday night.

He missed Monday nigth and his knee injury is not considered serious. Harrellson's playing just 9.9 minutes per game as the second unit center and won't have much fantasy value while Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond are healthy.

Josh Harrellson (knee) will not play against the Heat on Monday night.

He has a minor knee injury and the details have not been revealed yet. Harrellson played 14.7 minutes per game in the previous three games and has helped the second unit as a stretch five. He has very little fantasy value.

Josh Harrellson scored 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting (including two threes) with four rebounds and two blocks in 18 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Jorts got loose tonight but that has been a rare occasion since he joined the NBA. Let's see him do it again before we pay him any attention.

The Pistons got a lift from Josh Harrellson in Saturday's win, as he came off the bench for a season-high 10 points with two 3-pointers in just 13 minutes.

Jorts even had five rebounds, two assists and three blocks for what was easily his best line of the year. Barring some drastic and unexpected change to his nine minutes per game, however, he's persona non grata in fantasy leagues.

Pistons sign free agent PF Josh Harrellson to a two-year deal.

The man known as 'Jorts' now occupies the 15th roster spot for the Pistons, meaning they're offseason moves have likely come to an end. Harrellson was the MVP of the Chinese Basketball Association with 22 points and 18 rebounds per game last season, and previously played for the Heat in 2012, and the Knicks in 2011. He's never made much of a dent in the NBA, and with Andre Drummond, Greg Monroe and Josh Smith around, that shouldn't change this year. Ignore him, but beware that he could become a factor if Drummond has more back issues this season.

The Heat will not sign Josh Harrellson to a second 10-day contract.

Miami chose instead to re-sign Jarvis Varnado while bringing Chris Andersen aboard. Jorts may latch on with another team but he's not a fantasy asset.

Heat sign C Josh Harrellson to a 10-day contract.

The team re-signs Jorts after releasing him in order to not have to guarantee his salary for the year.

Heat waive C Josh Harrellson.

One week ago Erik Spoelstra said Harrellson would be "a big factor in what [the Heat] are doing in the future." The Heat are expected to sign another big man with the available roster spot, so Spoelstra was apparently just paying lip service to Harrellson's value.

Erik Spolestra said that Josh Harrellson will be a "big factor in what we're doing in the future."

Harrellson played about 18 minutes Saturday, his first action since November 11 and his only meaningful minutes of the season. Spoelstra liked what he saw and specifically mentioned how Harrellson can space the floor, but it's important to note that Udonis Haslem (shoulder) was out. Just keep an eye on Jorts from the waiver wire.

Josh Harrellson (flu-like symptoms) is active for Wednesday night's game against the Heat.

The last time Harrellson got into a game was Nov. 11, so this doesn't mean much at all.

Josh Harrellson is "dealing with" the flu bug.

Harrellson has not gotten into a game since November 11, telling owners all they need to know about his fantasy relevance.

Josh Harrellson was inactive for the fourth time in six games on Saturday.

Harrellson's name received a decent amount of attention once the Heat signed him to space the floor, but he hasn't made an impact and is not close to sniffing fantasy relevance.

Josh Harrellson's contract with the Heat is non-guaranteed.

In other words, this is a no-risk signing for Miami. Harrellson, Mickell Gladness and Jarvis Varnado will compete for a roster spot, and Harrellson should be considered the heavy favorite going into training camp.

Heat sign C Josh Harrellson.

Jorts was traded from New York to Houston and then quickly waived, but he found a new home in Miami, where he'll provide emergency frontcourt depth behind Chris Bosh, Joel Anthony and Udonis Haslem. Details of the contract haven't been disclosed, but his signing makes it more likely that Miami will part ways with underwhelming big man Dexter Pittman, in spite of Pittman's guaranteed contract.

The Heat remain undecided on whether or not to sign unrestricted FA Josh Harrellson.

Harrellson has been brought in twice for a workout now, but Miami "is still giving thought" to signing him. The fact that the team has now seen him work out twice and remains uncertain about signing him isn't an encouraging sign, but the club is likely just doing its due diligence.
