• Nets' Shake Milton: Plays 12 minutes in win

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Milton had five points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 12 minutes during Monday's 106-104 victory over the Grizzlies. Through seven appearances, this was Milton's third time seeing minutes in the double digits, with two of those outings coming when Ben Simmons (back/rest) was sidelined during a back-to-back set. Milton faces an uphill battle for playing time on a nightly basis, and he remains well off the fantasy radar in most formats for the foreseeable future.

• Nets' Shake Milton: Plays 17 minutes in loss

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  Milton finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 17 minutes during Friday's 116-101 loss to Orlando. Milton saw meaningful minutes yet failed to make any noise when it came to tangible production. Despite a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, it doesn't appear that Milton is going to be afforded a consistent role in Brooklyn. Should he step into a larger role at any point, he would be a name to watch. For now, he can be safely ignored across most formats.

• Nets' Shake Milton: Headed to Brooklyn

  07/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Milton signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Knicks on Thursday before being shipped, along with Bojan Bogdanovic, to the Nets as part of the sign-and-trade that will send Mikal Bridges and Keita Bates-Diop (shin) to the Knicks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. While the final two years of Milton's contract are non-guaranteed, he will have an opportunity to compete for backcourt minutes on a rebuilding Nets squad. In 2023-24, Milton averaged 4.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.1 minutes across 48 total appearances for the Pistons, Timberwolves and Knicks in the regular season.

• Knicks' Shake Milton: Cracks rotation in blowout loss

  05/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  Milton supplied three points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Milton saw his first minutes of the postseason, playing the entire fourth quarter of what was an ugly loss. The series is now tied at 2-2, but the Pacers have all the momentum heading back to New York. Assuming Game 5 on Tuesday is tighter, don't expect to see Milton in the rotation.

• Knicks' Shake Milton: Officially signs, available Tuesday

  03/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  Milton officially signed with the Knicks and will be available against the Hawks on Tuesday, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. Milton agreed to a buyout with the Pistons on Friday and needed to wait until he cleared waivers to join the Knicks. While he'll be available Tuesday, Milton isn't guaranteed playing time, though there'll be depth minutes available if Jalen Brunson (knee) is downgraded to out.
