Terry

The 28th overall pick in the 2022 draft, Terry spent his first three-plus seasons in Chicago before being moved multiple times at the February trade deadline. Acquired by the Knicks, he would be moved again on the same day as part of the trade that sent Jose Alvarado to New York. Subsequently waived by the Pelicans, Terry agreed to a two-way deal with the 76ers before finishing the season on a standard deal. In 48 combined appearances for the Bulls and 76ers, Terry averaged 3.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 11.5 minutes per game. No longer eligible for a two-way contract, he’ll compete for one of the Warriors’ final standard contract slots in training camp.

The team’s official X account broke the news on Sunday, making the former No. 18 pick a free agent. The move could be part of the Sixers’ plan to clear roster space and salary cap to add Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who NBA insider Chris Haynes reported intends to sign with Philadelphia after being bought out by Memphis. Terry split time with the Bulls and Sixers last season, averaging 3.7 points across 48 games.

Terry’s availability isn’t meaningful to fantasy hoops managers, but with so many players out against Denver, he should see some additional run.

Terry was not available for Sunday’s win over the Trail Blazers. While his availability does not affect fantasy basketball, fellow two-way contract player MarJon Beauchamp has picked up a few additional minutes in Terry’s absence.

Terry’s absence does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does leave the 76ers with one less option on the perimeter.

Terry is dealing with a left shoulder impingement. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as the former first-round pick has not played consistent rotation minutes since joining the 76ers.

Acquired from the Knicks along with two second-round picks and cash in exchange for Jose Alvarado, Terry has been waived by the Pelicans. The former first-round pick failed to lock down a consistent role for himself in three-plus seasons in Chicago before being traded twice in 24 hours, and now he’ll look for a new home as an unrestricted free agent after he clears waivers.

Terry was traded from Chicago to New York late Wednesday night and has been moved again about 12 hours later. New Orleans could have a place for him in the rotation, especially if they shift towards a true tank, even if they don’t have their first-round pick. Terry could hold some value during silly season, but he shouldn’t be rostered at this point.

Alvarado will provide some extra depth in the backcourt for New York, meaning he’ll join Miles McBride, Tyler Kolek and Jordan Clarkson in the rotation. Unless more moves are coming, that won’t leave enough minutes for any of them to provide value in standard leagues, barring an injury to a starter. Alvarado’s defense and playmaking should help the Knicks when Brunson is off the floor in the postseason.

The Knicks have added to their backcourt, taking a chance on a 2022 first-round pick who will be a free agent in the summer. Terry could never carve out a consistent role for himself in Chicago, and he’s unlikely to find that in New York. It should be noted that Miles McBride has missed the last four games due to a left ankle injury, and there’s concern that he could be out for an extended period. Yet, even with that being the case, Terry’s addition does not move the needle in fantasy basketball.
