Brogdon has agreed to a one-year deal with the Knicks, with SNY’s Ian Begley reporting that the contract is non-guaranteed. The deal is similar to the one agreed to by Landry Shamet on Thursday, and they, along with Garrison Mathews, will compete for a veteran’s minimum contract in training camp. Brogdon, who has struggled to stay healthy in recent years, appeared in 24 games for the Wizards last season, averaging 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 0.7 three-pointers in 23.5 minutes. He’s surpassed the 60 games played mark once in his last six seasons, making 67 appearances and winning Sixth Man of the Year honors during his lone campaign in Boston (2022-23).

Keyonte George will return to the starting lineup after missing Tuesday’s game with an injury. Josh Okogie will go back to the bench which leaves Josh Green in the starting lineup with the injury to Lauri Markkanen.

Already without Jalen Suggs and Paolo Banchero, the Magic won’t have Tristan da Silva or Jamal Cain for Wednesday’s game. As a result, Morales will make his first career start. Orlando’s other four starters from Tuesday’s win over the Kings are unchanged.

Da Silva will miss his second straight game with a calf injury. Last game, the Magic started Jamal Cain who will miss Wednesday’s game with a shoulder injury. Alex Morales will get some more run with the injuries.

After starting Tuesday’s win over the Kings, Cain will miss Wednesday’s game with a shoulder injury. Tristan da Silva (calf) is also out, meaning that Alex Morales will make a spot start.

George is back in the Jazz lineup after a one-game absence. His return will push Josh Okogie to the bench, while Isaiah Collier may see his minutes decrease.

The Sacramento Kings had an open roster spot after trading Nique Clifford to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Kings already have Sabonis, Cardwell, and Raynaud on the roster, so it’s unlikely Plumlee is anything more than a locker room guy and a good role model for the young players on the team.

Da Silva’s status is of far greater consequence to fantasy basketball, especially with Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs both out. At a minimum, da Silva should be rostered even after those two Magic starters return. As for Cain, despite there being more opportunities for him to contribute, he isn’t worth the risk in most redraft leagues.

Richard, who missed Monday’s win over the Pelicans with a torn UCL in his left thumb, is back after a one-game absence. His return will likely mean fewer minutes for LJ Cryer, who could fall out of the rotation entirely.

Egor Dëmin has returned to the starting lineup with Nolan Traoré heading back to the bench. Nolan will go back to being a streamer and Egor is a streamer at this point given how he’s played.

Reaves, who did not play in Monday’s win over the Hawks, returns and will take on his usual role within the Lakers’ lineup. Ziaire Williams heads to the bench, while the other four starters are unchanged.
