NBA Player News

Konchar is out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to left calf soreness.

Wednesday is Konchar's first absence since Feb. 5. Friday's matchup in Portland marks his next chance to play. The likes of Brice Sensabaugh, Cody Williams and Elijah Harkless should see an uptick in playing time versus New York.

The Jazz signed Garcia to a 10-day contract Wednesday.

The undrafted rookie out of Texas A&M will get his first look at the NBA level after he has thus far spent his entire first season in the professional ranks in the G League. Over 35 games with the Mexico City Capitanes, Garcia averaged 10.9 points on 55.6 percent shooting from the field with 9.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals in 25.3 minutes per contest. With Utah having ruled out three big men for the season (Jusuf Nurkic, Walker Kessler and Jaren Jackson), Lauri Markkanen (hip) facing an uncertain timeline for a return and two-way player Blake Hinson having limited availability at the NBA level, Garcia could end up carving out a role in the Jazz frontcourt rotation.

Vukcevic logged three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across seven minutes during Tuesday's 150-129 loss to the Heat.

Vukcevic returned from a four-game absence and was deployed as the third-string center Tuesday. It's likely that he reclaims a bigger rotation spot moving forward, making him someone to monitor in deeper formats. However, as long as Alex Sarr (hamstring) is suiting up, Vukcevic will be limited to a bench role.

Plumlee finished with one rebound in one minute during Tuesday's 125-116 win over the Celtics.

This was Plumlee's debut for the Spurs, and as expected, he was utilized as an emergency depth option off the bench. There's no fantasy appeal here.

Goodwin amassed six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 win over the Bucks.

Goodwin wasn't able to do much damage in his return from a seven-game absence. The Suns are mostly healthy in the backcourt these days, so Goodwin is only worth monitoring in deeper formats for the time being.

Prince produced zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and three rebounds in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 loss to the Suns.

This was Prince's first action since he underwent surgery Nov. 13 to address a herniated disc in his neck, and he understandably had some rust. Prince does have a solid path to minutes in Milwaukee, making him worth monitoring in deeper leagues as he ramps up.

Richardson (back) is available to play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Richardson is all set to return from a two-game absence. He's been used sparingly in recent weeks, but there are more minutes available with Anthony Black (abdomen) on the shelf.

Isaac (knee) is available to play Wednesday against Cleveland.

Isaac will shed his questionable tag and will be available as a depth piece off the bench. Over his last eight appearances, Isaac has averaged a mere 10.6 minutes per contest.

Richard produced eight points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 130-124 overtime loss to the Bulls.

Richard returned from a four-game absence and picked up a fill-in start for De'Anthony Melton (thigh). Richard's upside isn't the best with a low usage rate, but he could be worth a look in deeper formats if Melton ends up missing more time.

Vassell contributed 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 125-116 win over the Celtics.

Vassell was coming off a five-point dud in the win over the Rockets on March 8, but he bounced back admirably here and delivered his best scoring mark of the last four games. Vassell has started every game since the All-Star break, but the inconsistency in his numbers has limited his fantasy upside a bit. He's averaging 14.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game since the break, although the efficiency is worthy of highlighting. He's making 50.9 percent of his shots and 48.6 percent of his threes in that span.
