Dylan Cardwell tallies four steals, four blocks

Dylan Cardwell

SAC Center #32

Player Stats

Dylan Cardwell notched 12 points (5-of-7 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists, four steals and four blocks in Monday’s win over the Bucks.

Cardwell’s final stat line is one that category league managers dream of getting when the games actually count. Not selected in the 2025 draft, his defensive activity made the 6-foot-11 center a fan favorite as a rookie. And that should remain the case, especially if Cardwell can provide value similar to what he did on Monday. Of course, fantasy managers won’t expect to see him put up eight “stocks” and 12 rebounds consistently, but rotation minutes should be available. And if the Kings find a new home for Domantas Sabonis, Cardwell could become a player worth rostering in some standard leagues.

Dylan Cardwell

SAC Center #32

Dylan Cardwell finished with eight points (3-of-4 FGs), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and four blocks against the Nets on Saturday.

As an undrafted rookie last season, Cardwell was able to make a big impact on the defensive end, which he carried right over into summer league. He isn’t the most dynamic offensive player, but Cardwell is a valuable piece in the Kings’ frontcourt and should be able to contribute defensive stats when he gets the opportunity this upcoming season. However, with Domantas Sabonis healthy, the minutes may not be quite as plentiful.

SAC Center #32

Dylan Cardwell tallied 15 points (7-of-8 FGs), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals, four blocks and one three-pointer in Sunday’s loss to the Clippers.

Rostered in eight percent of Yahoo! leagues, Cardwell provided fantasy managers with an excellent stat line on Sunday. One game removed from blocking five shots in a win over the Pelicans, the rookie center recorded four more in the 138-109 loss to the Clippers. Add in the rebounds, steals and field-goal percentage, and Cardwell’s performance was an excellent capper to his Week 23. For fantasy managers in leagues that run through Week 24, the Kings play three games, and Cardwell should continue to play extended minutes.
Precious Achiuwa

SAC Forward #9

Precious Achiuwa (back) is available for Thursday’s game against the Magic.

Achiuwa is back after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Hornets. His return means that Patrick Baldwin Jr. will head to the bench, and Dylan Cardwell may miss out on a few minutes.

SAC Forward #9

Precious Achiuwa (back) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Magic.

Achiuwa was held out of Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Hornets, with Patrick Baldwin Jr. logging 28 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup. However, Dylan Cardwell grabbed 11 rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench and is the superior streaming option if Achiuwa remains out.

SAC Forward #9

Precious Achiuwa (back) is out for Tuesday’s matchup with the Hornets.

Achiuwa finished with a 14/15 double-double on Sunday, but he’ll get the night off while dealing with lower back soreness. Dyland Cardwell and Daeqwon Plowden should see additional run against Charlotte with Achiuwa out of action.

Precious Achiuwa (back) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Hornets.

Achiuwa, who put up 14 points and 15 rebounds in Sunday’s win over the Nets, is dealing with lower back soreness. If he can’t play on Tuesday, Dylan Cardwll could figure more prominently in the Kings’ rotation.
Drew Eubanks

SAC Forward-Center #19

Drew Eubanks (thumb) is out for Sunday’s game against the Jazz.

Eubanks is set to miss another game with a sore left thumb. Dylan Cardwell played 13 minutes off the bench in Eubanks’ absence Saturday against the Clippers, but had no points to go with six rebounds.
Dylan Cardwell

SAC Center #32

Dylan Cardwell (ankle) is not on the injury report for Saturday’s game against the Clippers.

Cardwell, who has been out since spraining his ankle during one of the Kings’ first practices out of the All-Star break, practiced on Friday. Now absent from the injury report, he’ll be available on Saturday. While it may not happen immediately due to a possible minutes limit, Cardwell can be valuable during the silly season for managers needing rebounding and defensive stats.

SAC Center #32

Dylan Cardwell (ankle) practiced on Friday, according to Kings insider James Ham.

Cardwell sprained his ankle in mid-February, and he was given a four-week re-evaluation timeline on February 18. His return to practice means Cardwell could be back in action soon, and fantasy managers willing to take a speculative risk should add him off the waiver wire and stash him in an IL spot.
Dylan Cardwell

SAC Center #32

Dylan Cardwell (ankle) will be re-evaluated in four weeks.

Cardwell, an undrafted rookie who played well enough to earn a standard contract, sprained his left ankle during Tuesday’s practice. He’s the second center the Kings have lost recently, with starter Domantas Sabonis (knee) undergoing season-ending surgery. With Maxime Raynaud locked in as the starting center, the Kings will likely rely on Precious Achiuwa to take on the backup responsibilities.

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports that the Hawks signed Jalen Wilson to a two-way contract.

The 51st overall pick in the 2023 draft, Wilson spent three seasons in Brooklyn before becoming a free agent this summer. The 6-foot-6 wing appeared in 55 games in 2025-26, averaging 6.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in 15.9 minutes. Wilson fills Atlanta’s third two-way contract slot, joining Keshon Gilbert and RayJ Dennis. He is unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball, especially after the Hawks acquired Luguentz Dort from Oklahoma City.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Lakers signed Arthur Kaluma to a two-way contract.

Kaluma spent his first professional season with the Lakers’ G League affiliate after going undrafted in the 2025 draft. A solid season with South Bay was followed by a good showing this summer with the Lakers’ summer league team, which led to Monday’s transaction. Kaluma’s addition to the roster won’t affect fantasy basketball, but the two-way deal gives him a little more security as training camp approaches. The Lakers already had three players on two-way deals, so Kaluma’s addition will come at the expense of Chris Mañon, AK Okereke or Peter Suder.

Mavericks signed Jett Howard to a two-way contract.

Not long after the Mavericks waived forward Tyler Smith, opening up a two-way contract slot, the franchise filled the vacancy by signing Howard. The 11th overall pick in the 2023 draft, Howard failed to earn consistent rotation minutes in his three seasons with the Magic. He appeared in 55 games last season, averaging 5.5 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.6 minutes. Howard shot the ball reasonably well from beyond the arc, making 37.2 percent of his attempts. He joins John Poulakidis and Tobi Lawal as two-way contract players on the Mavericks roster.

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports that the Pacers are waiving Taelon Peter.

The 54th overall pick in the 2025 draft, Peter was on a two-way deal with the Pacers as a rookie. Indiana’s many injuries factored into the guard appearing in 38 games, and he averaged 4.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.9 minutes. Monday’s transaction will free up a two-way slot for the Pacers, who now have Ethan Thompson and Kobe Brown signed to such deals.

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports that the Mavericks are waiving Tyler Smith.

The 33rd overall pick in the 2024 draft, Smith appeared in 23 games as a rookie in Milwaukee before joining Dallas on a two-way deal last summer. The 6-foot-9 forward played 12 games for the Mavericks last season, averaging 4.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.8 minutes. Smith’s exit frees up a two-way contract slot for the Mavericks, who currently have John Poulakidis and Tobi Lawal under such contracts.

Thybulle brings much-needed depth to the new-look Lakers, and the three-and-D specialist should see meaningful minutes for LA. Over the last two seasons, he’s averaged 2.1 steals and shot 41.1% from beyond the arc.

Cedric Coward added 19 points (6-of-10 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one block and five three-pointers in the loss to the Warriors on Sunday.

Coward was, again, one of Memphis’ top performers on Sunday. He struggled inside the arc but was lethal from beyond it, draining all five of his three-point attempts before finishing tied for a team-high 19 points. The second-year guard also fared well on the glass and as a facilitator in the loss. If he can increase his three-point efficiency and take a step forward as a passer, he should be in for a good sophomore season as it pertains to fantasy basketball.

Cameron Boozer totaled 19 points (7-of-17 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Sunday’s summer league championship loss to the Warriors.

Boozer bounced back from a rough shooting performance to tie a team high in points on Sunday. He drained three triples and was solid on the boards, yet again. The No. 3 overall pick had a strong summer overall and is in line to be one of Memphis’ featured players this upcoming season. He’s got a lot of room for growth and development, but should still be a reliable contributor in fantasy leagues as a rookie.

LJ Cryer amassed 15 points (5-of-10 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, six assists and four three-pointers in the win on Sunday over the Grizzlies.

Cryer had a strong showing in the Warriors’ summer league championship victory in Las Vegas. He led the team in three-pointers, with his total accounting for 80 percent of his points. The second-year guard also functioned as Golden State’s best facilitator in the win. Cryer remains on a two-way contract at the moment, but even if he earns a full roster spot, he’s unlikely to have a noteworthy impact in fantasy leagues this season.

Yaxel Lendenborg finished Sunday’s win over the Grizzlies with 21 points (9-of-18 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two three-pointers.

Lendenborg scored nine points in the fourth quarter, including seven straight down the stretch, to help the Warriors overcome a double-digit deficit in the final frame to secure the win. The double-double he tallied along the way was enough to earn the Most Valuable Player award. Lendenborg, the 11th pick of the 2026 NBA Draft, has now won two championships this calendar year. His contributions to winning and a strong summer showing overall could make him an interesting player this upcoming fantasy basketball season.
