According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, centers Nerlens Noel and Neemias Queta are getting waived by the Sacramento Kings. Once the team signed JaVale McGee, there was a huge logjam with five centers on the roster. This move seemed to remedy the situation since both Noel and Queta were on partially guaranteed deals. The Mavericks could look into signing one of the two big men as they've been rumored to be on the market for a center.

The New York Knicks are trading center Nerlens Noel and guard Alec Burks to the Detroit Pistons, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Knicks are also sending two future second rounders and cash. The move is likely being made by New York to free up cap space to sign free agent guard Jalen Brunson. Noel and Burks are due a combined $19 million this year. As for the Pistons, the franchise will be taking on a pair of expiring contracts with team options for the 2023-24 season. With the extra $19 million against the team's cap, it's perhaps less likely that the Pistons will be in on the Deandre Ayton sweepstakes this summer.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel is reportedly one of the players that the organization would like to trade this summer. The 28-year-old has spent each of the last two seasons in New York. He is a solid defender and a decent option off the bench, assuming he can stay healthy. Sadly, Noel has problems with staying on the court. He missed the final two months of the regular season. The Knicks feel comfortable with Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims at the center spot. That being said, they appear to be open with moving Noel this offseason. The veteran big man is owed over $9 million for next season. Wherever he lands, Noel is unlikely to be a fantasy factor in most formats.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (foot) won't suit up against the Pistons on Sunday. The veteran hasn't played since early February because of a sore left foot, and there's a good chance he won't return for the remainder of the year. Julius Randle (quadriceps) is questionable, so Obi Toppin, Jericho Sims, and Taj Gibson could continue to get extra work. However, Toppin has the most fantasy upside out of that trio by far.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (foot) won't play on Sunday versus the Utah Jazz. This shouldn't surprise anyone, primarily since the veteran hasn't played since early February. As a result, Mitchell Robinson remains in play as a viable fantasy option in all formats. Obi Toppin and Jericho Sims may also continue to receive extra minutes, although neither man offers much from a production standpoint.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (foot) will miss Sunday's meeting against Brooklyn. No surprise here, as Noel has missed over a month of action because of a sore left foot. It's unknown how much longer he will be out or if he will even return this season, for that matter. However, with Mitchell Robinson handling most of the minutes in the middle, Noel isn't expected to receive much work anyway.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Noel has been unable to play in over a month due to left foot soreness. It's a shame because Noel is usually a reliable contributor when healthy, but can't seem to stay on the court this season. Mitchell Robinson has picked up the slack and is providing seventh round value since Noel went down. He is worth a look in most formats with Noel having no return date in sight. Taj Gibson should see more playing time as well, but doesn't offer much in terms of fantasy production.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (foot) and small/power forward Cam Reddish (shoulder) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Dallas. With Mitchell Robinson (illness) questionable to play, the Knicks could be staring down being significantly short-handed in the frontcourt. Noel's season has been sidetracked by injuries, as his left foot soreness has kept him out of the mix since Feb. 7. Until the team is able to give a substantial update, fantasy managers can proceed as if Jericho Sims, Taj Gibson, or even Julius Randle will handle backup center duties. Reddish has begun to crack New York's rotation with more regularity, but a sprained right shoulder has set him back and likely opened up minutes among the team's second unit.

New York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett (ankle) and center Nerlens Noel (foot) have both been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This will be the fourth straight game missed for Barrett and the firth straight for Noel. Quentin Grimes should remain in the starting lineup due to Barrett's absence. Grimes has been solid for two straight games, hitting exactly five three-pointers in each contest while scoring a total of 39 points over the two-game set. He's a great target for DFS on Wednesday. Mitchell Robinson, another strong DFS option, will dominate the center minutes on Wednesday with Noel out. Taj Gibson will back Robinson up, though Gibson's unlikely to play more than about 15 minutes.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This will be his fourth consecutive game on the sidelines with a left knee injury. Fellow center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is questionable for the game. If Robinson sits, Taj Gibson and Obi Toppin could be set for some heavy minutes in the frontcourt. Gibson would be a worthy DFS target in that scenario as he'd be a threat for a low-end double-double.

New York Knicks big men Mitchell Robinson (back) and Nerlens Noel (knee) have both been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. As a result, we should see a good amount of Obi Toppin and Taj Gibson on the floor with Julius Randle logging some center minutes. Robinson and Noel have been dealing with their respective injuries for the past week or so, but they've mostly played through the pain. Tuesday's game is the backend of a back-to-back set, so the team is likely playing it safe with them. We'd expect both players to suit up for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has been given the green light to suit up for Wednesday's game vs. Miami, whereas Nerlens Noel (knee) has received the thumbs down. Robinson returns from a one-game absence, looking to reclaim the rhythm that he has found during January, which has included four double-doubles and nine games in which he has shot 66.7 percent from the floor or better. Without Noel in the mix, Robinson could be in line for a handful of additional minutes, although Taj Gibson figures to see a healthy workload as well. Noel's next chance to suit up comes Friday against the Bucks.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest vs. Minnesota as he continues to battle a sore left knee. Noel returned to play in just one game before being sidelined again, having logged just 21 minutes of action since Dec. 21. Mitchell Robinson should continue to see the lion's share of run at the center spot with Taj Gibson in line for a slight increase in role off the bench. A solid contributor of blocked shots when healthy, Noel's availability (18 games played) has been a detriment to his season-long viability this season. His next chance to return comes Thursday against the Pelicans.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) won't play during Monday's matinee against the visiting Hornets. Noel didn't suit up on Saturday because of left knee soreness, and he has now only played in one game since December 23. Mitchell Robinson should receive some additional minutes in the middle. However, Taj Gibson may continue see the floor more than usual versus Charlotte and until Noel can return to action.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel will take the floor Wednesday against Dallas, marking his first game action since Dec. 21. Noel was sidelined for 10 games under a combination of the league's health and safety protocols and return to competition conditioning, with Mitchell Robinson in line to lose his stranglehold on center duties. Noel was on a shot-blocking tear prior to entering the protocols, having reeled off four straight multi-block performances. While Noel can be targeted in season-long category formats by those fantasy managers in need of blocks, his limited scoring upside (zero double-digit scoring outings in 2021-22) likely keeps him on the wire in the vast majority of leagues.

New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker (knee) and center Nerlens Noel have been ruled out for Monday's game against San Antonio. The absences continue for both players, with Walker now having missed six consecutive contests, whereas Noel has missed 10 straight. Alec Burks and Immanuel Quickley have enjoyed elevated offensive roles in the backcourt without Walker in the mix, while Mitchell Robinson and Taj Gibson have held down the center spot in Noel's absence. Walker remains the vastly more intriguing fantasy candidate after having averaged 19.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists across six December contests. His next chance (and Noel's) to suit up comes Wednesday vs. the Mavericks.

New York Knicks shooting guard Evan Fournier (thigh) and center Nerlens Noel (conditioning) have been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Celtics. Fournier's absence is particularly troublesome for New York after the 29-year-old scorched Boston for a season-high 41 points Thursday; in three matchups vs. the Celtics this season, Fournier has averaged 35 PPG. Alec Burks and Quentin Grimes are likely to take on larger backcourt roles, while more of the offensive impetus will be funneled toward Julius Randle and RJ Barrett. Noel will be missing his ninth consecutive game, allowing Mitchell Robinson to hold down the center spot. The next chance for Fournier or Noel to return comes Monday vs. San Antonio.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. This marks the second game in a row that Noel has missed after already clearing the health and safety protocols. That means that Mitchell Robinson and Taj Gibson will be asked to fill the void at center. Neither of them are excellent fantasy options, but Robinson is slightly better. He could be a possible low-cost DFS option for Thursday's small slate.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel has entered the league's health and safety protocols on Wednesday. The Knicks already without around seven or eight players due to injuries or protocols. That being said, Mitchell Robinson and Taj Gibson could be asked to play heavy minutes. Possibly, Jericho Sims gets more minutes as well, but isn't much of a streaming option. Robinson could be worth a look due to his rebounding ability, but isn't a must-have option even with increased minutes.

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He carried a probable tag into this contest, but will sit out as a precaution. Noel actually made the jump into the starting five last game, but is having a tough time staying healthy. Taj Gibson will likely move into the starting five, but Mitchell Robinson will be the better option between the two.
