Luis Scola: Staying in China
Luis Scola agreed to a contract Friday with the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association, Asia-Basket.com reports.After attracting limited interest from NBA teams when he became a free agent in February 2017, Scola remained on the open market for a little over three months before reaching a deal with the CBA's Shanxi Brave Dragons. The big man notched 27.8 points, 13.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in his first season in China and apparently enjoyed the experience enough to remain overseas for another year. Now that he's 38 years old and will be more than two seasons removed from his last NBA action once his contract expires, it seems likely that Scola's playing days in North America are over.

Luis Scola: Waived by Brooklyn
Luis Scola was waived by the Nets on Monday.Scola has been on the outside of the Nets' rotation for much fo the season, as the team shifted its focus to developing younger options in the frontcourt almost right from the beginning. At 36 years old, Scola is reaching the tail end of his NBA career but could still provide veteran leadership for a team willing to use a roster spot on the big man. No matter where he lands, however, don't expect Scola to see meaningful playing time.

Nets' Luis Scola: Outside of rotation Wednesday
Luis Scola (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in a 95-90 loss to the Knicks on Wednesday.With the Brooklyn Nets now at 9-40 on the season, coach Kenny Atkinson seems inclined to turn the frontcourt minutes over to his younger options, which was evident in Atkinson's decision to bench the 29-year-old Trevor Booker for the first time all season in favor of the 22-year-old Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. It appears that Scola, 36, finds himself even further down in the pecking order in the frontcourt, with Brook Lopez, Hollis-Jefferson, Booker, Justin Hamilton and Quincy Acy all seemingly ahead of him on the depth chart. That means that Scola won't be included in the rotation most nights, even in some games where the Nets are on the wrong end of a blowout.

Nets' Luis Scola: Held out of rotation Thursday
Luis Scola (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in a 104-95 loss to the Pelicans on Thursday.Trevor Booker's return from a one-game absence due to a hip contusion left no room in the rotation for Scola, who had previously logged 16 minutes in a loss to the Hawks on Tuesday. When the Brooklyn Nets are at full health in the frontcourt, Scola doesn't figure to see the floor, even in most blowouts. The 36-year-old has appeared in only two of the Nets' last nine games.

Nets' Luis Scola: Returns to bench Thursday
Luis Scola will return to the bench for Thursday's game against the Warriors.Scola received the spot start Tuesday with Brook Lopez sitting out for rest, logging nine points and five rebounds over 18 minutes. He should see his playing time decrease with Lopez back in the lineup, which only further hurts his fantasy value. Scola likely isn't worth a look unless injuries occur higher up in the depth chart.

Nets' Luis Scola: Scores nine in start vs. Toronto
Luis Scola started at center in place of Brook Lopez (rest) and tallied nine points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and five rebounds across 18 minutes during a 116-104 loss to the Raptors on Tuesday.The start didn't equate to huge minutes for the 36-year-old, who didn't get many more minutes than he normally would receive in his bench role. Scola is usually good for a few buckets a game, but he has only played more than 20 minutes once this season, which came in Brooklyn's first game of the year.

Nets' Luis Scola: Starts at center Tuesday
Luis Scola will start at center for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.Scola has seen limited playing time all season, but with Brook Lopez getting the night off for rest, he'll get a chance to work with the starting five. Look for Scola to see a significant increase in minutes, potentially providing some short term DFS value for the time being. He'll likely move back to the bench come Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Nets' Luis Scola: Turns in first double-double of 2016-17
Luis Scola notched 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes in Saturday's 130-101 loss to the Spurs.Scola had been exiled from coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation over the previous two games and had only seen 11 or fewer minutes in the three games prior to that, but with the Spurs turning Saturday's contest into a blowout early, the veteran benefited from some extra run in garbage time. Despite the strong outing, Scola remains well behind Brook Lopez, Trevor Booker and Justin Hamilton in the team's rotation of big men, so fantasy players shouldn't take away much from this performance.

Nets' Luis Scola: Posts 14 points on perfect shooting night
Luis Scola generated 14 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds (five offensive), two assists and one steal across 18 minutes in Saturday's 110-108 loss to the Bucks.The Brooklyn Nets had more minutes available in the frontcourt with Brook Lopez sitting out for rest, and Scola was able to take advantage by nearly coming away with a double-double. The veteran has given the Nets some productive play off the bench in the early going, but with Lopez entrenched as the starting center and Trevor Booker thriving as the starting power forward, Scola hasn't really been able to make a push for a promotion.
