Rayan Rupert

MEM Guard-Forward #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Grizzlies have signed G/F Rayan Rupert to a 10-day contract.

A second-round pick of the Trail Blazers in 2023, Rupert was waived earlier this month due to Portland’s need to free up a standard roster spot for Sidy Cissoko. While the former second-round pick is not a player worth rostering in fantasy leagues, he should have opportunities to prove himself due to Memphis’ roster being depleted due to injuries.

Killian Hayes

SAC Guard #8

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Killian Hayes has signed a 10-day contract with the Kings.

The former top-10 pick will get another chance to make an NBA comeback. He’ll be with Sacramento for the rest of the month, and he should be able to fill some backcourt minutes, though managers should steer clear of this situation.

Tristan Vukcevic

WAS Forward #00

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Tristan Vukčević has signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Wizards.

The deal includes a team option in the third year, according to Charania. Vukčević had previously been on a two-way contract. He figures to continue to work in the center rotation for Washington with most of his fantasy value coming when Alex Sarr has been out.

Bryce McGowens

NOP Guard #11

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Bryce McGowens has signed a new three-year deal with the Pelicans.

The fourth-year man has taken on an increased role with New Orleans, averaging 9.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 triples across 27.1 minutes in 11 starts. He should see increased run until Trey Murphy (shoulder) returns, and McGowens should earn extra minutes any time Zion Williamson is sidelined.

Sidy Cissoko

POR Guard #91

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Trail Blazers have signed Sidy Cissoko to a two-year deal.

Cissoko played all of the allowable games on his two-way deal, but he’ll get a standard deal to stay with the Blazers for two more years. Multiple injuries have given Cissoko the opportunity to play regular rotation minutes for Portland, and he’s done well with that opportunity.

John Tonje

BOS Guard #8

Celtics converted John Tonje to a 10-day contract.

Tonje was dealt to the Celtics as part of the deadline deal that sent Chris Boucher to Utah. He signed a two-way deal with the Jazz in August after they selected him with the 53rd pick in the draft. The former Wisconsin standout is a proven scorer and will be a solid temporary depth piece for Boston.

Dalano Banton

BOS Forward #45

Celtics signed Dalano Banton to a 10-day contract.

Banton signed a 10-day deal with the Clippers a few days before the All-Star break and made two appearances for them, totaling less than 10 minutes. Now, he’ll head across the country to Boston, where he’ll be a temporary depth piece in the backcourt .

KJ Simpson

DEN Guard #25

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Nuggets plan to sign KJ Simpson to a two-way contract.

With Spencer Jones set to be upgraded to a standard contract, the Nuggets will have a two-way contract slot to work with. According to Charania, the team has decided to use the available slot to sign Simpson. The 42nd overall pick in the 2024 draft, the 6-foot point guard was waived by the Hornets after the trade deadline. A hip injury sidelined Simpson before Charlotte waived him, so there’s no guarantee he’ll be available immediately upon signing with the Nuggets.

Johnny Juzang

FA Guard #9

Timberwolves waived Johnny Juzang.

After appearing in 64 games for the Jazz last season, Juzang made 21 appearances for the Timberwolves before being waived on Wednesday. His departure will free up a two-way contract slot, but it won’t affect fantasy basketball.

Myron Gardner

MIA Forward #15

NBA Insider Chris B. Haynes reports that Myron Gardner has signed a three-year deal with the Heat.

Gardner has played well for Miami this season, filling in for multiple injured teammates and making the most of his opportunities. The two-way man out of Little Rock will earn a standard deal thanks to his quality production.
