• Malachi Flynn: Contract expires

  03/11/2025 • By RotoWire

  Flynn became a free agent Tuesday after his 10-day contract with the Hornets expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports. With KJ Simpson assigned to the G League's Greensboro Swarm and with the Hornets making another two-way guard in Damion Baugh in active for Monday's 105-102 win over the Heat, Flynn entered the rotation as the top backup to LaMelo Ball. The appearance was Flynn's fourth since he signed a 10-day deal, with the journeyman guard averaging 4.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 11.0 minutes per game in those outings. The Hornets will have the option of signing Flynn to a second 10-day deal, though it's not clear if they plan to do so.

• Hornets' Malachi Flynn: Inks 10-day deal with Charlotte

  02/28/2025 • By RotoWire

  Flynn and the Hornets agreed to a 10-day contract Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. After spending his first three full NBA seasons with the Raptors, Flynn was traded to the Knicks on Dec. 30, 2023. Since then, the former first-round draft pick has struggled to find a long-term home in the NBA, with short stints with the Pistons, Raptors and Spurs. The 25-year-old guard will get another shot to prove himself in the league with Charlotte on a 10-day deal and could be signed for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign if he impresses while the Hornets remain shorthanded.

• Malachi Flynn: Waived by San Antonio

  10/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Spurs waived Flynn on Saturday, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports. The Spurs are pretty much set in their backcourt, so there wouldn't have been enough minutes for Flynn with Chris Paul, Tre Jones, Stephon Castle and even Malaki Branham capable of playing the point guard role. Flynn will aim to look for opportunities elsewhere.

  08/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Flynn and the Spurs agreed to a one-year deal Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The Pistons didn't extend Flynn a $5.81 million qualifying offer at the end of June, making him an unrestricted free agent. Despite dropping 50 points off Detroit's bench against the Hawks on April 3, Flynn finished the 2023-24 season with averages of 5.5 points, 1.9 assists and 1.7 rebounds across 12.7 minutes in 69 games split between Toronto, New York and Detroit. Flynn will look to compete for a spot in San Antonio's backcourt, which added Stephon Castle and Chris Paul this offseason to a group that already consisted of Tre Jones, Devin Vassell and Malaki Branham.

• Malachi Flynn: Headed for free agency

  06/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Pistons didn't extend Flynn a $5.81 million qualifying offer Saturday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Flynn notably dropped 50 points off the bench in an April 3 game Atlanta, but that was essentially the only highlight of his season. All told, the 26-year-old averaged 5.5 points, 1.9 assists and 1.7 rebounds across 12.7 minutes in 69 regular-season games while bouncing around between the Raptors, Knicks and Pistons. Flynn will look to catch on elsewhere in free agency as a reserve guard.
