Kings' JaVale McGee: Efficient performance in win
Rotowire
McGee chipped in eight points (4-5 FG) and four rebounds over 10 minutes during Monday's 103-94 win over Memphis.
McGee went 4-for-5 from the field, playing exactly 10 minutes for the third time in the past four games. While it is good to see McGee out on the floor, his days of being a fantasy-relevant player are well behind him. Barring an injury to Domantas Sabonis, McGee is not worth adding in any format.

Kings' JaVale McGee: Decent output off bench in loss
Rotowire
McGee finished with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 13 minutes during Monday's 129-93 loss to the Pelicans.
The Kings were woeful on offense Monday, and very few players stood out, though McGee was one of them after putting up solid numbers off the bench in limited minutes. Domantas Sabonis is firmly entrenched as the Kings' starting center, and the only reason McGee saw extended minutes in this game was due to the nature of the blowout contest. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect McGee to deliver these numbers regularly going forward.

JaVale McGee: On way out of Dallas
Rotowire
The Mavericks are expected to stretch-and-waive McGee on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Per Keith Smith of Spotrac.com, McGee is owed approximately $11.7 million over the final two years of the three-year deal he signed with Dallas last offseason. To facilitate McGee's impending release, Dallas will stretch that amount over five years, meaning the center will make around $2.3 million annually through 2027-28. McGee appeared in 42 games (seven starts) last season and averaged just 4.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and a career-low 0.6 blocks in 8.5 minutes per contest. Once the transaction is completed, the 35-year-old will be free to entertain offers from other teams.
