Fri Apr 1219:17Bruce Brown Cleared To Return On Friday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will hop back into the lineup on Friday versus Miami. He's recovered from a right knee problem that kept Brown sidelined for Wednesday's contest against Brooklyn. Brown has averaged 9.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists with the Raptors since being acquired in January from Indiana. He can make an impact all over the court but doesn't really stand out in any area, which limits Brown's fantasy appeal.

Thu Apr 1120:37Bruce Brown Listed As Questionable For Friday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) is considered questionable for Friday's game against Miami. He's seen action just twice in the past five games and could be out again due to inflammation in his right knee. Javon Freeman-Liberty, Gradey Dick, and Ochai Agbaji could potentially benefit from Brown's absence on Friday. However, it's an ugly fantasy matchup for the Raptors, as Miami boasts the fifth-best defensive rating in the league and is ranked 29th in pace.

Fri Apr 512:02Bruce Brown Questionable Against Bucks
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) has been listed as questionable for the Friday night contest against the Milwaukee Bucks due to soreness in his right knee. Brown hasn't been in a prominent role for the Raptors ever since being traded and it's likely that he finds a new home by the time next season rolls around. In the meantime, if he suits up, he'll likely continue to see around his average of 26 minutes. Brown could help in some category leagues that are still going on or could help a DFS lineup if Ochai Agbaji (hip) and Gary Trent Jr. (back) both get downgraded to out. Otherwise, Gradey Dick and Jalen McDaniels would serve as solid streaming options.

Wed Apr 319:40Bruce Brown Absent On Wednesday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) won't take the court on Wednesday against Minnesota. He made an early exit on Tuesday versus the Lakers with a sore right knee and has been downgraded from doubtful to out. Brown joins a lengthy list of absentees on Wednesday, which leaves Toronto with only eight active players. Garrett Temple, Jordan Nwora, and Jalen McDaniels will benefit from Brown's absence, although it's difficult to predict how the rotation will work out for Toronto.

Tue Apr 222:12Bruce Brown Exits Tuesday's Game
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) exited Tuesday's loss to the Lakers and didn't return. He got the start in this one. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old would log 28 minutes before experiencing soreness in his right knee. The Raptors play again on Wednesday in Minnesota. However, DFS participants likely won't see Brown in the lineup. But the team just got back Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett, which will help lessen the blow. In addition, Gary Trent Jr., who got the night off for rest, should also be back.

Mon Mar 1120:32Bruce Brown To Play Versus Nuggets
Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Brown will make his return to the court after missing each of the last four games due to right knee inflammation. He'll likely be asked to play big minutes during his first game back on the court. The Raptors are thin at the guard and forward spot right now. That means, Brown should have additional fantasy value even if he comes off the bench.

Sun Mar 1019:34Bruce Brown Could Return On Monday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) has been tagged as questionable against the Denver Nuggets on Monday. The veteran wing hasn't played in the last four games while he deals with right knee inflammation. His return would give the lineup a much-needed boost while they're missing two important starters in Scottie Barnes (hand) and Jakob Poeltl (hand). On top of that, they could be without RJ Barrett (illness) who's questionable. If Brown can play, he'll likely get plenty of opportunities on a short-handed roster. If he's unable to suit up along with Barrett, Gradey Dick and Gary Trent Jr. should both remain in the starting lineup and are quality streaming options.

Wed Mar 619:25Bruce Brown Won't Play On Thursday
Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Brown is set to miss his third game in a row due to right knee inflammation. The absence of Brown should mean more playing time for Gradey Dick. Surprisingly, Dick has been playing well and is worth rostering in most deep leagues. He should continue to be valuable with Brown sidelined.

Mon Mar 415:22Raptors List Bruce Brown As Out
The Toronto Raptors are listing guard Bruce Brown (knee) as out for Tuesday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans. After missing Sunday's win over the Charlotte Hornets, Brown remains unavailable on Tuesday due to inflammation in his right knee. Over Brown's last 13 showings, the 27-year-old combo guard is averaging 7.2 points on 39.8% shooting from the field, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 23.7 minutes contest and sits outside the top 250 in nine-category fantasy leagues across this span. Brown's next chance to return to the floor comes on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. Since Jakob Poeltl (finger) is also out, Kelly Olynyk will be needed to start at the five, clearing the way for Gradey Dick to function as Toronto's defined sixth man. Over Dick's last 12 performances, the first-round rookie is averaging 12.2 points and 2.4 threes while shooting a scorching 51.8% from deep and gets a New Orleans team that's yielding the seventh-most threes per game (13.4) this year.

Sun Mar 316:27Bruce Brown Out With Knee Inflammation
Toronto Raptors guard Bruce Brown (knee) won't play in Sunday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. Right knee inflammation will keep Brown out on Sunday, with the combo guard originally being a late addition to the injury report. Across Brown's past 13 games, the versatile 27-year-old is averaging 7.2 points while shooting just 39.8% from the floor, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 23.7 minutes contest and ranks outside the top 200 in nine-category fantasy leagues during this stretch. Brown's next shot to return to the floor comes on Tuesday versus the New Orleans Pelicans.Gradey Dick was already on the rise and is now looking at an increased workload. Over the rookie first-rounder's last 11 outings, he's averaging 12.3 points and 2.4 treys on 51.0% shooting from deep in 21.5 minutes and is a solid fantasy streamer in a favorable matchup. The Hornets hold the third-worst defensive efficiency rating (117.3), and they carry the fourth-worst opponent field-goal percentage (49.5%) this year.

Sun Mar 313:30Bruce Brown Now Questionable For Sunday Night
Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Hornets. He's averaged just 8.6 points in 19 games since being traded to Toronto, down from 12.1 points while with the Pacers. However, with Scottie Barnes (hand) out indefinitely, Brown has a chance to get more involved moving ahead. While there's a chance the 27-year-old could still suit up, rookie Gradey Dick, who averaged a career-high 11.0 points in February, could draw even more interest from fantasy managers. There's also room for Ochai Agbaji to see more work, although he can't be trusted.

Sun Feb 419:01Bruce Brown Heads To The Bench
Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown will shift to the second unit ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Brown had started the last four games with RJ Barrett (knee) sidelined. During that time, Brown averaged 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks in 33.3 minutes per game. Barrett is healthy again so Brown will move back to the bench where his fantasy value will take a hit.

Fri Jan 2615:38Bruce Brown To The Knicks Gaining Traction
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown moved to Canada just a couple of weeks ago in exchange for Pascal Siakam and others. Ever since that deal was made official, there have been reports and rumors that this wouldn't be his final move this season. Playoff contending teams have been linked to Brown, most notably the New York Knicks. According to Mark Sanchez of the New York Post, Brown was thinking of signing with the Knicks before he accepted the offer from the Indiana Pacers in the offseason. He even said during an interview that his playstyle and effort align with how Tom Thibodeau runs his team. There haven't been any official offers yet, but this move seems to be gaining the most steam.

Thu Jan 1819:10Bruce Brown Available For Raptors Debut Thursday
Toronto Raptors guard Bruce Brown (knee) as well as Jordan Nwora and Kira Lewis Jr. are all cleared and available to make their team debuts on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. There was some uncertainty surrounding the game statuses of the Raptors' newcomers following Wednesday's Pascal Siakam trade, especially since Brown was dealing with a knee injury. Though Nwora and Lewis are DNP-CD candidates in their first night north of the border, Brown should occupy a prominent role in Toronto's rotation whether he starts straight from the get-go or not. It still renders Brown a risky DFS play on Thursday, but season-long managers can get him active. The 27-year-old Swiss Army knife is assembling a career year with averages of 12.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals in 29.7 minutes over 33 starts with the Indiana Pacers this season.

Wed Jan 1715:15Raptors Landing Bruce Brown, First-Round Picks In Trade
The Toronto Raptors are acquiring guard Bruce Brown (knee) and Jordan Nwora as well as two 2024 first-round picks and a 2026 first-rounder from the Indiana Pacers in a swap for star forward Pascal Siakam. After letting Fred VanVleet walk away this past offseason and shipping out OG Anunoby earlier in January, the Raptors continue to break up their 2018-19 championship core and move toward a transitional phase. A key component of the Denver Nuggets' 2022-23 title push, Brown is enjoying a career season on averages of 12.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 threes, and 1.1 steals in 29.7 minutes through 33 starts this year after netting a sizable two-year contract with Indiana. The position-less 27-year-old shifts from the NBA's top offense to a more pedestrian one in Toronto, but Brown should get plenty of run as well as some extra usage to compensate for any potential decline in efficiency.

Sun Jan 722:35Bruce Brown Draws Another Questionable Tag For Monday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) has been listed as questionable again for their Monday night contest against the Boston Celtics. He's still dealing with a bone bruise on his right knee which has caused him to miss one game so far. The former NBA Champ had a five-game sideline stint before playing two games and suffering the bone bruise. In the game that he missed against the Celtics, the Pacers lost by 17, so they'd welcome him back in a big way if he can play. If he remains on the sidelines, however, Buddy Hield and Bennedict Mathurin will both see added opportunities. Both of them would be quality streaming options, especially since Andrew Nembhard (back) also may not suit up.

Fri Jan 509:25Bruce Brown Questionable With Knee Issue On Friday
Indiana Pacers forward Bruce Brown (knee) returned from a five-game absence on Wednesday but is back on the injury report due to a bone bruise on his right knee. Brown has been consistently healthy over the last two seasons, so these issues have come as a bit of a surprise. The bone bruise may not be severe enough to force him to miss Friday's game, so fantasy managers will want to check back after shootaround for any updates. If he doesn't suit up though, Bennedict Mathurin and Obi Toppin would likely see some more minutes while Andrew Nembhard (questionable - back) could start if he is upgraded to active.

Wed Jan 318:27Bruce Brown Available To Play Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will rejoin the team's lineup on Wednesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Brown has missed five consecutive games due to a right knee bone bruise, but he will be back on Wednesday for the first time since Dec. 21. The 27-year-old Swiss Army knife's productivity has fluctuated in Indiana's top-ranked offense with a plethora of weapons around him, but he is still accumulating 11.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 threes per game. Brown does rank second on the Pacers with 30.7 minutes a night. Despite the possibility of a slight minutes cap against the Bucks, Brown should be activated and started in most season-long nine-category fantasy leagues in a game that boasts the highest implied point total (257.5) of Wednesday's huge 12-game slate.

Tue Jan 215:27Pacers Hope Bruce Brown Can Return Wednesday
Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle spoke on the injury to guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) on Tuesday, hinting that he could return on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Brown hasn't been seen on the floor since Dec. 21 with a right knee bone bruise. The Pacers begin a five-game homestand on Wednesday, so Brown should have a good opportunity to return from his absence at some stage during this swing. The position-less 27-year-old has gotten lost in the shuffle at times in the No. 1 Pacers offense with so many scoring options around him, but he is still chipping in 11.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 threes per game and should be rostered in most nine-category fantasy leagues. With Andrew Nembhard (back) doubtful versus the Bucks, Aaron Nesmith, Bennedict Mathurin, and Buddy Hield would all be asked to step up if Brown remains sidelined as well.

Mon Jan 119:17Bruce Brown Ruled Out On Monday
Indiana Pacers forward Bruce Brown (knee) will not return on Monday, which pushes his streak to five consecutive games missed. There has been some movement in the starting five while he's been sidelined. Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard, and Jalen Smith all joined the starting five in their last contest against the New York Knicks. It seems that Nesmith is the one who took Brown's spot while he's been absent, so whenever Brown does return, it will likely be Nesmith's minutes that take a hit. For now, Nesmith and Nembhard are both quality streaming options in deeper leagues.
