Pelicans waive Tyshawn Taylor.

He was acquired just this week and the Pelicans just don't have room for him even with Jrue Holiday out with a leg injury. Taylor might catch on somewhere else.

The New Orleans Pelicans have acquired Tyshawn Taylor.

The worst-kept secret in the NBA became official on Tuesday as the Nets agreed to trade Taylor for cash and the draft rights to Edin Bavcic. This move was mostly a cost-cutting measure for the Nets as Bavcic will likely never play in the NBA, and fantasy owners need not worry about the transaction as Taylor has limited fantasy value in a reserve role for New Orleans.

The Nets have reportedly agreed to trade Tyshawn Taylor and cash the the Pelicans in exchange for a protected second-round pick.

The move saves Brooklyn some money in luxury taxes and gives New Orleans some emergency depth at PG while Jrue Holiday recovers from a stress injury in his tibia. This won't have any fantasy implications.

Tyshawn Taylor will be recalled for Monday's game against the Hawks.

The Nets are likely planning for Deron Williams to not play tonight with the activation of Taylor. He's shooting just 34.5 percent from the field this season and is unlikely to see enough minutes to matter in most fantasy leagues.

Tyshawn Taylor returned to action on Saturday January 4.

Tyshawn Taylor (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Thunder.

Taylor has missed two games with his ankle injury, but he wasn't seeing many minutes when healthy as he's largely fallen out of the Nets' rotation. Deron Williams is dealing with an undisclosed injury so Taylor may see some action if Williams is forced to miss any time, but he's not worth owning in any fantasy leagues at the moment.

Tyshawn Taylor (ankle) will miss Tuesday's game against San Antonio.

Taylor has fallen out of the Nets' rotation with the return of Deron Williams as the second-year guard has averaged only 3.0 minutes per game in the last five games that he's seen the court. While the former Kansas Jayhawk could be a promising fantasy asset if he gets consistent playing time, that isn't going to happen unless Williams gets injured again so fantasy owners can feel free to cut him free if they haven't already.

The Nets have assigned backup PG Tyshawn Taylor to the D-League.

This could be an indication that Jason Terry (knee) is ready to return for Brooklyn, or simply a result of Taylor falling out of the rotation as the third-string backup behind Deron Williams and Shaun Livingston.

Tyshawn Taylor started at point guard again on Tuesday, but hit just 4-of-12 shots for 12 points, two assists and a steal in 34 minutes.

The minutes have been nice, but he simply hasn't responded for Jason Kidd and the struggling Nets. It will be interesting to see if he continues to start over Shaun Livingston as long as Deron Williams is out, but the truth of the matter is that it probably doesn't matter.

Tyshawn Taylor will make his first career NBA start on Saturday, replacing Shaun Livingston in the Nets' lineup.

Taylor had 16 points and 12 assists on Friday, as Jason Kidd benched four of his starters to begin the second half, and he's an intriguing pickup with Deron Williams (ankle) still on the shelf. Bear in mind that Taylor is shooting 37.0 percent from the field, he has limited 3-point range, and he faces a brutal matchup with Mike Conley and the Grizzlies tonight.

Nets PG Tyshawn Taylor has been assigned to the D-League.

He sprained his ankle in October but couldn't gain any traction in the Nets' rotations even now that he's fully recovered.

Tyshawn Taylor (ankle) will not play against the Sixers on Monday.

Jason Terry and Deron Williams will also sit this game out, so Shaun Livingston should be busy. Taylor has looked good this offseason and could make his way into the rotation. Plus, since Deron could miss time, Taylor is a stop-gap possibility in deeper leagues.

Tyshawn Taylor referred to his ankle injury as a "pretty bad sprain" and he left the arena on Saturday wearing a protective boot.

With Deron Williams (ankle) already sidelined, Taylor had a golden opportunity to earn a rotation spot in the Nets' upcoming five preseason games. Instead, Shaun Livingston is the last man standing at PG and Jason Terry (knee) and others will have to take on more PG duties until D-Will and Taylor return. The second-year guard has no timetable for his return.

Tyshawn Taylor will not return to Saturday's game after injuring his right ankle in the first half.

It looked like a sprain but it's being called a "sore ankle" we should have some official diagnosis before long. It does nothing to Taylor chip away minutes from second-string PG Shaun Livingston, but both guys may get minutes regardless with Deron Williams (ankle) possibly facing a few DNPs to start the season.

Tyshawn Taylor had a positive outing on Tuesday scoring a team-high 16 points with six assists and one steal in 34 minutes against the Wizards.

Taylor turned in a nice summer league back in July, ranking fifth among Orlando participates with 16.8 points per game. Shaun Livingston had just four points in 19 minutes tonight and the two will compete for the backup role behind Deron Williams (ankle). Livingston should be considered as the favorite for now.

Tyshawn Taylor (ankle) hasn't been limited during the Nets' training camp.

Taylor sprained his right ankle during Summer League but he's since fully recovered. He's currently the third PG on the roster behind Deron Williams and Shaun Livingston, and it would take a few injuries for him to emerge as a fantasy option.

Tyshawn Taylor was wearing a walking boot spraining his right ankle during Thursday's summer league game.

Taylor said he still plans on playing Friday in the team's summer league finale, so the boot might just be a precaution. Taylor appeared to injure it during a fall in the first half. He got up on his own power and walked off the court with the trainer but eventually returned to start the second half. He finished with 15 points on 4-of-13 shooting to go along with seven assists, four rebounds and three steals.

Tyshawn Taylor led the Nets on Monday with 17 points, but he shot 6-of-18 from the field with one assist, one steal and six turnovers.

This won't help Taylor cut into Shaun Livingston's backup PG minutes, but at least he's getting valuable experience vs. NBA players. He shot 36.8 percent from the field and 55.7 percent from the FT line in limited minutes as a rookie.

Tyshawn Taylor, Toko Shengelia and Kris Joseph will all play for the Nets in summer league.

All three players desperately need some real playing time and experience, so they'll hope to make an impression during summer league.

Nets assign Tyshawn Taylor and Tornike Shengelia to the D-League.

Both needed consistent minutes they just won't get with the Nets.
