Malik

Hairston

He averaged 3.3 points and 1.9 rebounds in 15 games for the Spurs, so this transaction shouldn’t have any significant ramifications in fantasy leagues.

The Spurs signed Hairston on July 8, but that doesn’t mean he’ll make the team. He dominated the D-League last season and earned a handful of callups. If the Spurs think Hairston can fill a role on the wing behind Richard Jefferson and Michael Finley, free agent Ime Udoka may end up with another team.

He spent the past two years in Spain after being taken with the 13th pick by the Bucks in 2002. The Spurs also announced they re-signed forward Malik Hairston, who played in 15 games for them last year.

He’s a decent shooter and not a great athlete, but has a good basketball mind. He’s also a good rebounder and might have a shot at a career as a role player.

Hairston, a shooting guard from Oregon, was taken 48th overall in the draft Thursday night. Dragic, a point guard from Europe, was chosen three picks before Hairston.

The Spurs are reacting to the injury of Michael Finley, and it looks like Hairston will have a cup of coffee at the NBA level. While nothing is certain, he’s probably going to be activated, but he is a longshot for fantasy value.

Don’t read anything into this as the Spurs rested their regulars for virtually the entire game.

The veteran defensive specialist was replaced by Malik Hairston (four points, five rebounds in 26 minutes), though neither guy has fantasy value. We’re assuming Bogans’ injury won’t jeopardize his status for Wednesday’s game vs. Houston.

Hairston appeared in 21 games and averaged 3.5 minutes per contest with the Spurs this season.

Hairston obviously doesn’t have value in fantasy leagues, but if you like to read into things -- the fact that the Spurs have moved a guy out of the D-League so quickly may be an indication that Parker won’t just miss Sunday’s game.
