Mon Oct 2 202310:13Damion Lee Out Indefinitely With Knee Injury
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Damion Lee has suffered a right knee meniscus injury and will be out "until further notice," the team has announced. According to the Suns, the injury occurred during an on-court workout at the team's practice facility last week. Lee was one of the first guys off the bench last season and averaged 8.2 points on 45.5 percent three-point shooting during his debut campaign in Arizona. Phoenix's depth takes a hit with his absence, but guys like Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen should be able to cover for him.

LeBron James Injury Update

James injured his right foot during the third quarter of Sunday's comeback win over the Dallas Mavericks. It was a tense few seconds after the multi-time MVP clutched his foot after suffering what was deemed a "non-contact injury." The concern grew to greater heights after he was overheard saying, "I heard a pop." Situations like this are never good, as many were concerned that an Achilles tear could be the culprit.https://twitter.com/FanDuelTV/status/1630602449227595777?s=20Yet, after James gathered himself, he tightened his shoe and finished the game, totaling 26 points, eight rebounds, one block, and one steal. Head coach Darvin Ham appeared optimistic while speaking postgame, stating the 38-year-old was "good."However, that couldn't be further from the case, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting that James would "miss an extended period of time" because of the foot injury. Charania later added that the all-time scoring leader would "require multiple opinions."https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1630363560051187712?s=20 

LeBron James' Season Recap

Despite James' advanced NBA age, he's still productive. In 47 appearances, he's averaged 29.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. While his three-point percentage has regressed, that's never been his strong suit.James was also named an All-Star captain while recently passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader.https://twitter.com/NBAonTNT/status/1623184801284104192?s=20That said, despite some high-level accomplishments, the year has been a rough one for the 2003 No. 1 overall pick. He's battled left foot soreness for nearly the entire season, so much so that he routinely carried some type of injury designation heading into almost all of his games over the last few months....

Without a doubt, Kyrie Irving is arguably one of the most naturally gifted players in the National Basketball Association. He's a fantastic ball-handler and can get to the rim with ease. However, the former Duke Blue Devil's career has been surrounded by controversy, ultimately impacting his ability to win an MVP.The NBA trade deadline kicked off with a bang when Irving, who had demanded a trade out of Brooklyn, was traded to the Dallas Mavericks.

Kyrie Irving's Season Recap

Irving got suspended for an antisemitic social media post, keeping him out of the lineup for eight games. But since then, the 30-year-old stayed out of the limelight, so most had assumed he finally turned things around. He's played well all season, averaging 27.1 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 40 appearances.https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1622324668047794177?s=20&t=NTffJ2tRvNpjAA7bddjYHQHe was also selected to the All-Star team for the eighth time in his career.

Marcus Smart Injury Update

The Celtics were without Jayson Tatum for Saturday's meeting with Toronto, as the MVP candidate got the day off to deal with wrist soreness. Luckily, the C's recently got Jaylen Brown back from a three-game layoff, so the team at least had its No. 2 scoring option. Boston also had Marcus Smart, who is proficient on both ends of the floor.Unfortunately, the reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year's evening didn't last long, as he exited in the first half after suffering a sprained right ankle. Smart has battled ankle injuries throughout his career, so fantasy managers are familiar with this.https://twitter.com/ChrisForsberg_/status/1616933981362028546?s=20&t=ADA6dM_t2muMcgq6cJRitwWhile X-ray results were encouraging, revealing no structural damage, he'll likely miss a game or two, possibly more.

Thu Jan 19 202321:46Damion Lee Moves Into Starting Five
Phoenix Suns guard Damion Lee will move into the starting five for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The Suns are thin at guard with Chris Paul (hip) and Landry Shamet (foot) both sidelined. That being said, Lee is well worth considering as a streaming option in deep leagues. He should see plenty of action with the Suns banged up at the moment. It's also worth noting that Cameron Johnson (knee) is making his return to the court. However, he'll come off the bench, while Torrey Craig remains in the starting five for Thursday's game. The Suns are likely to have Johnson on a minutes limit, so he won't be a reliable streaming option right now.

LaMelo Ball Injury Update

LaMelo Ball exited Monday's meeting with the Rockets with a sprained left ankle. This is an all too familiar ailment, as the 21-year-old injured it twice already this season. He missed the first 13 games of the 2022-23 campaign because of it before making his season debut on November 12 against Miami.https://twitter.com/HornetsOnBally/status/1615898994508546048?s=20&t=2ONmwk9cIuX1k5z8xOpxsQUnfortunately, the 2020 No. 3 overall pick was incapacitated again after stepping on a fan's foot during a matchup with Indiana just a few days later, keeping him sidelined for an additional 11 games. Now, it appears fantasy managers will be without Ball for a while, considering he needed help getting to the locker room.With ... [More]

Donovan Mitchell Injury Update

Donovan Mitchell has been on a tear in his first season as a Cavalier, averaging a career-high 28.8 points per game. The 26-year-old has certainly made an impact, so there is naturally some concern surrounding his most recent injury, a groin strain, suffered during Monday's win over the Pelicans.https://twitter.com/ChrisFedor/status/1615106299636719632?s=20&t=nIB5An7gWfmmxjT49g7LLAMitchell exited in the third quarter and did not return to the contest, finishing with 11 points in 22 minutes. The former Louisville Cardinal has stayed relatively healthy in 2022-23, missing only five games. However, with the Cavs looking to make a deep run into the postseason, Mitchell may miss some games, beginning with Wednesday's meeting in Memphis.https://twitter.com/AmicoHoops/status/1615116579011690502?s=20&t=8uEcBgsFXrfQNXVsKuQmNAWithout him in the lineup, others will have to step up.

Sat Jan 14 202307:05Damion Lee Notches A Career-High 31 Points Friday
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Damion Lee led the team with a career-high 31 points in Friday's 121-116 loss to Minnesota. He provided microwave scoring off the bench in 31 minutes, shooting 10-for-17 from the field and a spectacular 6-for-7 from downtown. Lee capped off his career night with six rebounds and two assists. The 30-year-old is greatly benefiting from multiple injuries at present and has proven to be one of the better scorers in the current lineup. Duane Washington Jr. has also been one of the beneficiaries, but he settled for just eight points as a starter on Friday. The Suns will now be off until Monday, which will give the injured troops some time to heal, but Lee and Washington Jr. could continue to benefit next week if the lineup remains thin.

Wed Dec 22 202118:33Damion Lee Enters COVID-19 Health And Safety Protocols
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Damion Lee became the team's third player in health and safety protocols on Wednesday, joining Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins. This is a bummer for the 29-year-old, as he had just started to soak up extra minutes and performed well with Poole and Wiggins out of the picture. The Warriors have snapped up Quinndary Weatherspoon on a 10-day deal to make up the numbers, and the Mississippi State product could find himself logging heavy minutes straight away on Thursday against Memphis.

Tue Nov 30 202119:50Damion Lee, Andre Iguodala Remain Out Tuesday
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Damion Lee (personal) and small forward Andre Iguodala (hip) have both been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Phoenix. Lee's absence will reach three games, but it is anticipated to cease there, with the high-energy guard slated to return to action Friday in the rematch vs. the Suns. Iguodala hasn't suited up in two weeks, with his hip issue not nearing an imminent resolution. Neither player currently has much of a path to season-long fantasy relevance in their bench roles, particularly with the return of Klay Thompson (Achilles) not far off.

Fri Nov 26 202114:00Damion Lee Listed As Out For Friday
Golden State Warriors guard Damion Lee (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He started off hot to begin the season, but Lee has cooled down recently. Otto Porter Jr. and Juan Toscano-Anderson are likely going to be asked to split up the minutes with Lee sidelined on Friday. Also, Jonathan Kuminga could see more minutes as well. Porter has been shooting well recently and might be the best streaming option out of the three for Friday.

Sun Nov 14 202117:48Damion Lee To Return On Sunday
Golden State Warriors guard Damion Lee (hip) will return for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed each of the last two games while dealing with a minor hip issue. Lee could be someone worth considering as a streaming option in deep leagues for Sunday. His return should mean less minutes for Otto Porter Jr. and Andre Iguodala, but neither of them had much fantasy value with increased minutes anyway.

Fri Nov 12 202120:06Damion Lee Remains Unavailable For Friday’s Game
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Damion Lee (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Bulls as he continues to battle a sore left hip. Jordan Poole is likely to continue seeing a slight bump in minutes without Lee available, while Gary Payton II and Otto Porter Jr. figure to take on larger roles within the Warriors' second unit. Lee has averaged 11.9 points per game across his first nine contests, but he remains primarily a score-first option, albeit one who is shooting 43.6 percent from behind the arc. His next chance to take the floor comes Sunday vs. Charlotte.

Wed Nov 10 202121:06Damion Lee Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Damion Lee (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Minnesota due to left hip soreness. Lee has proven to be a valuable member of Golden State's second unit this season, having scored in double figures in seven of his nine outings. Without him in the mix, look for Jordan Poole to potentially see extended run, while Gary Payton II could see a slight minutes increase as well. Lee's primary fantasy value is derived from his scoring output, limiting his multi-category appeal. The next opportunity for the 29-year-old to take the floor comes Friday vs. the Bulls.

Wed Nov 10 202114:20Damion Lee Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday
Golden State Warriors guard Damion Lee (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is dealing with left hip soreness, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the Warriors give him the night off to rest. In the meantime, Otto Porter Jr. and Gary Payton II would be asked to pick up the slack. Porter is the better option between the two, but would have low-end streaming value. Lee has been inconsistent this season, but is likely worth holding in deep leagues.

Tue Oct 26 202123:07Damion Lee Drops 20 Points Off The Bench
It wasn't always pretty for the Warriors in a 106-98 win over the Thunder, but it got some crucial contributions off the bench, and Damion Lee was at the forefront. In 26 minutes, the fifth-year guard produced 20 points on 8-for-14 shooting with three rebounds, an assist, and four three-pointers. Lee has now played at least 26 minutes in three of four games this season and looks like Golden State's go-to sixth man in the early going. The 20 points and 14 shots were season-highs, but Lee doesn't provide anything outside of points and threes. The Warriors only have two games remaining this week and three the following week, so Lee can be left on waivers unless you are in desperate need of those categories.

Sat May 22 202120:20Curry, Warriors look forward to another chance next season
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — All along, Stephen Curry just wanted to play for something at the end after everybody counted out his Golden State Warriors from the beginning. He could only be proud when this group fell just short of the goal, appreciating how sick and saddened his teammates felt when they didn't get it done. The Warriors were eliminated from playoff contention with a 117-112 overtime loss to Memphis on Friday night in the second play-in game. That after losing a 103-100 heartbreaker to LeBron James and the Lakers two days earlier in Los Angeles. “I would love a playoff experience and seven-game series and see how we respond to that challenge. We have two — I call it three playoff games, the last game of the season and these last two play-in situations,” Curry said. "But it’s not how it’s drawn up in terms of the format, and now we have three months to rejuvenate, retool, come back next season, whatever that means. “These last three games, including the homestand, I call it nine games,...

Wed Jan 15 202017:03Warriors sign Lee to multiyear contract, bring back Chriss
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Guard Damion Lee signed a multiyear contract with the Warriors on Wednesday as expected given his time as a two-way player had expired and Golden State wanted to keep him for the remainder of the season.The team also brought back forward Marquese Chriss as a two-way player after he had been waived to clear room for Lee's promotion. With Lee coming up, that left an open two-way spot and Chriss came through waivers and was available. The 22-year-old Chriss will split time with the Santa Cruz Warriors of the G League. He has provided a boost for the injury-plagued Warriors after signing as a free agent in late September, averaging 7.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 17.7 minutes over 37 games with three starts. Coach Steve Kerr was asked before Tuesday's 124-97 home defeat to the Dallas Mavericks whether it surprised him Chriss remained available.“It did. I guess the one thing that maybe hurt him in terms of not being picked up was the trade deadline coming up... [More]
