J. Sullinger - PF

PHX

Raptors sent Jared Sullinger to the D-League.

After not making his season debut until January 18th, Sullinger is still in the process of getting back up to NBA speed and stamina. He has yet to play more than 17 minutes in any of his five games, and will now head to the D-League for likely just one game to get some additional court time.

D. Valentine - SF

CHI

Denzel Valentine has been assigned to the D-League.

Valentine has seen his playing time oscillate for most of the season. He played 24 minutes on January 20th against Atlanta, but hasn't seen any action in Chicago's last 4 games. It could be a temporary move just to get Valentine some action in the D-League. Don't be surprised if he's brought back up in a week or two.

D. Jackson - PG

LAL

Demetrius Jackson has been reassigned to the D-League.

Jackson, who was selected in the second round out of Notre Dame, has been bouncing between the D-League and the Celtics, and it appears as though he's on his way back to the Maine Red Claws of the D-League. Jackson had been dealing with an illness while with the Celtics and did not appear in a game with the team since he was recalled. He's played in just four NBA games this season and will get some much needed playing time in Maine.

O. White - SF

WAS

Okaro White has signed a second 10-day contract with the Heat.

White has played well since joining the Heat. He set new career highs in minutes (27), points (10), and rebounds (7) last game in a win over the Nets. He is not worth adding yet, but fantasy owners should keep an eye on him and see if he continues to produce.

C. McCullough - PF

DET

Nets have recalled Chris McCullough from the D-League.

McCullough Has been up and down this season between the Nets and the D-League. He will not see enough minutes to make any kind of a real impact on the fantasy world and can be left on the waivers, barring a few injuries in Brooklyn.

J. Bolomboy - PF

MIL

Joel Bolomboy has been reassigned to the D-League.

Bolomboy has appeared in just nine games for the Jazz this season despite being on the roster for quite some time due to all of the injuries the team has suffered. He should keep his bags packed, however, because he's bound to get the call back to the team sooner rather than later.

P. Jackson - PG

DAL

Pierre Jackson has signed a second 10-day contract with the Dallas Mavericks.

Jackson joined the Mavericks earlier this season and after averaging just three points and 1.8 assists in 7.0 minutes per game through four games, they let him go. Dallas gave him another shot 10 days ago and he's stepped up his game and earned another few games. He does not have much fantasy value when the Mavericks backcourt is healthy.

D. Wright - SG

DAL

Delon Wright was recalled from the D-League.

Wright's only logged 5 minutes of action in 12 January games with the Raptors so he doesn't have much fantasy value. The timing for his call up gives Toronto some needed depth at PG as Kyle Lowry stayed in the game tonight against San Antonio despite suffering an injury in the final minutes. Wright likely won't see much game time unless there are multiple, serious injuries.

M. Williams - PG

DEN

The Denver Nuggets have claimed Mo Williams off waivers.

This is a peculiar move seeing how Denver already has a pretty big logjam at the guard position. Williams figures to have no real role with the Nuggets, similar to long-time veteran Mike Miller already has with the team. Williams slots in behind Mudiay, Nelson and Murray on the depth chart. With all that being said, it's expected that Denver will actually waive Williams for salary cap purposes.

T. Prince - SF

BKN

Taurean Prince has tested positive for Coronavirus and will sit out the Orlando restart, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

Prince is the seventh Net that won't participate in Orlando, joining Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, DeAndre Jordan, Spencer Dinwiddie, Wilson Chandler and Nic Claxton. The Nets are expected to sign a few more substitution players for Orlando, but for now it's fair to expect to see a lot of Rodions Kurucs and maybe even Justin Anderson. After an impressive rookie season, Kurucs has a chance to redeem himself after being limited to just 12.8 minutes per game before the NBA was paused.

J. Isaac - SF

ORL

Jonathan Isaac is in the bubble with his teammates but is still rehabbing his knee injury.

Al-Farouq Aminu didn't go to the bubble with his team on Tuesday and we still don't know if or when Isaac will be cleared to play. But as Lloyd Christmas once said, "so you're saying there's a chance" we'll see him in uniform at some point, although the Magic have been noncommittal to that. And in a later tweet, Josh Robbins quoted a Magic official as saying "He's at the stage where he can do a little light court stuff, but that's about it." It sounds like he's unlikely to play in the Orlando bubble due to his injury.

M. Fultz - PG

ORL

Markelle Fultz did not accompany the Magic to the bubble on Tuesday to see to a personal matter.

This is an excused absence and we're guessing he won't be out for too long. We'll pass along details as they become available. Additionally, another member of the Magic has tested positive for COVID but we don't know who it is yet. That player is also not with the Magic at Disney.

A. Aminu - PF

ORL

Al-Farouq Aminu did not accompany the Magic to the bubble on Tuesday.

He's rehabbing a knee injury and while it's possible he could join the team at some point, he's not doing so currently. If Jonathan Isaac is healthy, both him and Aaron Gordon would step in to fill the hole left by Aminu's absence. However, Isaac is still said to be rehabbing his knee.

L. Mbah a Moute - PF

HOU

The Rockets officially signed Luc Mbah a Moute on Tuesday.

He'll replace Thabo Sefolosha in Orlando and, like most other human beings, is big enough to play center for the center-less Rockets. But it's hard to see Mbah a Moute being worth using in DFS.

K. Lowry - PG

TOR

Nick Nurse is excited about how Kyle Lowry has looked in workouts in Fort Myers thus far.

"He's looking awesome, like really awesome," Nurse said. "He's really working hard... He's going at it everyday, very early in the morning." After getting the last four months off most players should be fully healthy for the restart. The question is more a matter of which players are in shape and which are not? And it sounds like Lowry is in really great shape. Nurse also confirmed that all the Raptors are healthy and ready for training camp at Disney this coming weekend.

N. Jokic - C

Nikola Jokic is reportedly healthy and recovered from COVID but had travel complications that will keep him off of Tuesday's team flight to Orlando.

He reportedly tested negative in Serbia and is good to go for Orlando, but simply had flight complications that kept him from joining his teammates. Either way, Jokic should be in Orlando well before the Nuggets play a meaningful game.

B. Beal - SG

WAS

Wizards GM Tommy Sheppard said he doesn't think surgery "is an option at all" for Bradley Beal's right rotator cuff injury.

Sheppard also gave us more insight on the injury, revealing that the shoulder issue has been lingering for roughly eight months since he suffered it in a November game. The shoulder got worse during the time off, but Sheppard said the Wizards are confident that Beal will be 100 percent in the near future. The fact that he averaged 30.5 points per game with a bad shoulder already has us excited about his 2020-21 fantasy campaign.
