    Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Gets surgery on elbow

    The Grizzlies announced that Edey (ankle) underwent a procedure Tuesday to address lingering discomfort in his left elbow.

    Since he's already been in rehab mode and was ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery March 3 to address ongoing discomfort and bone stress in his left ankle, Edey opted to get his aching elbow taken care of with another procedure. Edey is expected to make a full recovery from both the ankle surgery and elbow procedure prior to the start of training camp. Before being shut down in mid-December due to the ankle issue, Edey looked to be in line for a second-year breakout, as he had converted at a 63.3 percent clip from the field and posted averages of 13.6 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, 1.1 assists and 0.6 steals in 25.8 minutes per game over his 11 appearances. The Grizzlies view the 7-foot-3 big man as a key building block and will plan for him to settle back in as their starting center in 2026-27 so long as he's able to stay healthy.

    Bulls' Isaac Okoro: Upgraded to questionable

    Okoro (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday against the 76ers.

    Okoro is in jeopardy of missing his eighth straight game Wednesday. He's no longer doubtful, however, and he's trending in the right direction ahead of this contest. With so many players injured in Chicago, Okoro could step right back into a sizable role.

  • Warriors' Omer Yurtseven: Re-signs with Warriors

    Yurtseven signed a second 10-day contract with the Warriors on Wednesday, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

    This is an expected signing for Golden State's depleted frontcourt. Across five appearances, Yurtseven has averaged 11.2 minutes per contest.

  • Royce O'Neale PF | PHO

    Suns' Royce O'Neale: Delivers stellar line in return

    O'Neale (knee) tallied 17 points (5-8 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes Tuesday in the Suns' 125-123 loss to the Nuggets.

    After missing the Suns' previous three games due to left knee soreness, O'Neale returned to his usual spot in the starting five Tuesday and supplied one of his better all-around lines of the season. O'Neale should remain a reliable streaming option for three-pointers and steals while he continues to handle a 25-plus-minute starting role, but his low usage rate (14.4 percent) and field-goal percentage (41.9 percent) cap his overall fantasy upside.

  • Omer Yurtseven: Reaches free agency

    Yurtseven became a free agent Wednesday after his 10-day contract with the Warriors expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

    Golden State will have the ability to retain Yurtseven on a second 10-day deal or a rest-of-season contract, but it's unclear if the team intends to re-sign the veteran center prior to Wednesday's game against Brooklyn. Over the course of his initial 10-day deal, Yurtseven averaged 3.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 11.2 minutes per game over his first five appearances before he was left out of the rotation in Monday's 137-131 overtime win over the Mavericks.

  • Celtics' Charles Bassey: Signs another 10-day deal

    Bassey agreed to a second 10-day contract with Boston on Wednesday, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

    During his first stint with Boston, Bassey made two garbage-time appearances and played four minutes in total. He'll continue to be an emergency depth option off the bench but is unlikely to be featured in head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation while Neemias Queta and Luka Garza are both available.

  • Malachi Smith SG | BKN

    Nets' Malachi Smith: Returns on another 10-day deal

    Smith agreed to a second 10-day contract with the Nets on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    During his initial 10-day stint with the Nets, Smith averaged 6.2 points, 2.7 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 19.5 minutes while shooting 50 percent from the field across six appearances. He should continue to handle a depth role in the Brooklyn backcourt for at least the team's next five games.

  • Grayson Allen SG | PHO

    Suns' Grayson Allen: Returns to action with 21 points

    Allen (knee) chipped in 21 points (8-19 FG, 5-12 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 125-123 loss to the Nuggets.

    Allen was held out of the Suns' previous four games due to left knee injury management, and though he operated with a bit of a cap on his minutes in his return, the eight-year swingman was still able to provide fantasy managers with useful numbers in his return. Despite his strong showing Tuesday, Allen won't necessarily see a major uptick in his minutes moving forward, as Phoenix should soon get Dillon Brooks (hand) back from an extended absence and will need to find playing time for him.

  • Jalen Green SG | PHO

    Suns' Jalen Green: Makes impact with 21 points

    Green racked up 21 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds and six assists over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 125-123 loss to the Nuggets.

    Since returning from injury, Green has delivered what was expected of him, with a productive tenure in Houston foretelling continued success. He's averaging 22.2 points per game in March, but he has shown immense upside with several games well above that number.

  • Devin Booker SG | PHO

    Suns' Devin Booker: Misses potential game winner

    Booker posted 22 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), three rebounds and eight assists over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 125-123 loss to the Nuggets.

    Booker's last-second three caromed off the rim, denying the Suns a much-needed victory. Despite the disappointing end, Booker led the Suns in scoring and received solid support from the rest of the first unit. The All-Star has averaged 28.0 points, 5.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds in March.
