NBA - Fantasy Basketball Player News & Updates Jim Bowden's Fantasy Baseball Draft Guide

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 - PG

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

PHI

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 - PG

TOR

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.

I. Thomas - PG

DEN

Coach Michael Malone has pushed back on reports that suggested Thomas (hip) is expected back in mid-February, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports. When asked about the situation, coach Malone responded, "Don't believe everything you read. I don't know where these leaks come from, but there is no timetable. There's nothing that's been set about February this, that or the other thing."

The report that Thomas is expected back in mid-February came Friday per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Coach Malone's comments don't rule out the possibility of a return then, but it appears things are less set in stone than initially thought. The situation may continue to develop.

DEN

Barton is still on an "18-20ish" minute restriction for Saturday's matchup against the Cavaliers, Chris Dempsey of the Nuggets' official site reports.

Barton has played three games since his return from an extended absence as a result of a groin injury. Still, it seems coach Michael Malone and the medical staff wants to bring Barton along slowly. That's a liberty the Nuggets can take, as Denver is 30-14 heading into Saturday's action.

DiVincenzo (heel) has been cleared to play Saturday against the Magic, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

DiVincenzo hasn't seen the court since Jan. 1 as a result of a heel injury, but he seems to have shaken it off and will be available if needed Saturday. That said, he's seen his role reduced since the Bucks brought in George Hill via trade.

R. Holmes - PF

PHX

Holmes left Saturday's contest against the Hornets due to a sprained left foot, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Considering Holmes was ruled out in the fourth quarter of a blowout, it's hard to gauge exactly how serious the injury is. We may learn more following the contest. He should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Ayton left Saturday's game against the Hornets due to a sprained left ankle, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Ayton's departure may not signal anything serious, as the game was out of hand in Charlotte's favor when the big man left. Still, Ayton should be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Timberwolves.
