We’re heading into a new Fantasy Basketball week and it’s a great one.

NBA Injury Report Ahead of Week 14 Games: Fantasy Basketball Injuries
The NBA injury report has some critical names such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Franz Wagner and the fantasy basketball waiver wire is maybe as good as it’s been all year with the likes of Scoot Henderson, Nick Richards, and Tari Eason wildly available in over 50% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball leagues.
Let’s dive into the top NBA injuries and fantasy basketball waiver wire adds of the week.
NBA Week 14 Injury Report
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Injury Update - Wrist
After missing his first game of the year due to a wrist injury, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable Sunday, but it doesn’t seem like this is a long-term issue.
Franz Wagner Injury Update - Oblique
It was reported by Cassidy Hubbarth of ESPN on the 17th that Franz Wagner is expected to return to the floor over the next 7-to-10 days as he’s returned to the practice floor and is ramping back up.
Chet Holmgren Injury Update - Hip
Reports came out this week is going to be reevaluated in 3-5 weeks, so he’s still out until after the All-Star break.
Brandon Miller Injury Update - Wrist
Brutal, brutal injury. There are some Twitter doctors suggesting over a year of surgery plus rehab based on what kind of wrist tear this is. It’s likely Miller’s going to miss the remainder of the year and sooner rather than later we find out he’s electing surgery.
Immanuel Quickley Injury Update - Hip
As of Sunday, Immanuel Quickley hadn’t returned to the practice court due to this hip injury he suffered. As of today, he’s played just nine games and there’s no telling when he’ll be back.
Draymond Green Injury Update - Calf
About two minutes into Saturday’s game, Draymond Green came up lame and left and never came back. He was feeling tightness in his calf and anytime the calf is brought up, it’s a concern. The calf being so close to the Achilles is always worrisome.
Fantasy Basketball Week 14 Waiver Wire
Scoot Henderson Injury Update - 42% Rostered on Yahoo! Fantasy
We’re starting to get a really good version of Scoot Henderson nightly and with what his draft status was last year, and being on a bad team, he’s going to get plenty of opportunities.
Twice in the last three games he’s put up 50-plus fantasy points and four times in five games he’s scored 16 or more points. Portland is one of the few teams around the league that has a four-game schedule and that really sets up well for Henderson this week.
Tari Eason Injury Update - 41% Rostered on Yahoo! Fantasy
OK, Tari Eason is back. Confirmed. In the two games since returning, Tari Eason’s gone off. He’s scored 16-plus points and has already had eight stocks, which is where he hangs his hat.
He can do a little of everything on the court as he’s an elite rebounder, elite defender, and can score at all levels. With Jabari Smith. out and Houston running a short rotation, Eason is going to have a lot of opportunity moving forward.
Nick Richards Injury Update - 39% Rostered on Yahoo! Fantasy
Yeah, this fit is going to be pretty good. Nick Richards didn’t start in his Suns debut but played 29 minutes and went absolutely nuclear. He had a 20-point double-double his debut and is expected to be a starter sooner rather than later.
He’s been very good when extended this year and having Kevin Durant and Devin Booker on the floor will draw a lot of his attention away from him and will make it easier. He’s a must roster moving forward because Jusuf Nurkic isn’t walking through that door again.
Stephon Castle Injury Update - 28% Rostered on Yahoo! Fantasy
It’s interesting to see what happens with Jeremy Sochan because he’s been out for five consecutive games due to a back injury. He originally hurt his back, missed one game, played in two straight, now he’s hurt again. Clearly, he returned too quickly.
Stephon Castle has taken full advantage of that lately as he’s poured in at least 20-plus points and 30-plus fantasy points in three straight. Castle’s ability to score is impressive as a rookie and his recent play will keep him firmly in the rotation even when Sochan returns. This isn’t the best week for Sochan and the Spurs as they have just two games on the schedule.
Toumani Camara Injury Update - 28% Rostered on Yahoo! Fantasy
Things have gotten pretty good for Toumani Camara’s fantasy upside as his minutes are as secure as they ever have been. Camara’s offense has been coming around nicely and has scored 17-plus points in two of his last three games and has been in double-figures in six of eight games.
He’s an elite defender, and is averaging two stocks per game, and is a great rebounder. Camara has four games this week, including the only game on Sunday to end the week.
