David

Roddy

Gordon and Hardaway getting additional recovery time ahead of the playoffs is far more impactful on the Nuggets’ rotation than Jones’ continued absence with a strained hamstring. David Roddy, who scored 21 points off the bench in Friday’s win over the Thunder, should once again play extended minutes, potentially as a starter to fill the void left by Hardaway.

The former first-round pick will get a new deal after finishing last season in Houston. He’ll be a depth piece, though he’ll likely spend most of his time in the G League. They’ll waive Tamar Bates to clear the two-way spot.

Roddy was sent to Atlanta as part of the Kevin Durant trade that included seven teams. The Hawks won’t keep him around, and Roddy will have a chance to find a new home.

Roddy started last season with Atlanta before ending the year on a two-way with Houston. It’s unclear if he’ll remain with the Hawks, but he certainly won’t be a large part of the team’s rotation.

After sitting out Friday’s loss to the Lakers, Eason and Smith are off the injury report. How much Houston’s rotation players will play on Sunday is undetermined, as they’ve already secured the two-seed in the West. David Roddy and Nate Williams may see significant playing time during the second half since there won’t be anything on the line for the Rockets.

Two days after the 76ers waived him, Roddy has agreed to a two-way deal with the Rockets. The 2022 first-round pick has appeared in 30 games this season for the Hawks and 76ers, averaging 4.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.5 minutes.

Roddy loses his spot on Philadelphia’s roster to newly-added Jalen Hood-Schifino, who inked a two-way contract on Friday with the club. The 23-year-old was averaging just under 10 minutes per-game this season for the 76ers. He should be able to latch on somewhere else as extra bench depth to close out the year.

The 17th overall pick in the 2023 draft, Hood-Schifino struggled with injuries during his time with the Lakers. He was traded to the Jazz as part of the Luka Doncic/Anthony Davis deal, with Utah waiving him shortly thereafter. Hood-Schifino now heads to Philadelphia, and there may be opportunities to play if the 76ers decide to shut down their proven veterans. The 76ers have waived David Roddy to free up a roster spot for Hood-Schifino.

Waived by the Hawks on Friday, NBA insider Jake Fisher adds that Roddy must clear waivers before officially signing with the 76ers, but it sounds like a done deal. He appeared in 27 games for Atlanta, averaging 4.5 points and 2.6 rebounds in 12.8 minutes. Roddy’s addition will give the 76ers more depth on the wings but will not impact fantasy basketball.

Both Young and Daniels will return to the starting lineup after missing Monday’s game. That will push Keaton Wallace back to the bench, though Krejci will remain in the starting lineup in place of Zaccharie Risacher (groin). Gueye will get the first start of his career, as he replaces David Roddy at power forward.
