Alex Caruso (sore right wrist) plays 21 minutes on Wednesday

Alex Caruso
SG, Los Angeles Lakers

Alex Caruso (sore right wrist) played 21 minutes on Wednesday and posted a solid 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting, four rebounds, two assists and a steal.

Prior to the game it wasn't clear if Caruso would play, but he checked in and played his usual chunk of minutes. He only hit one of his three shots from beyond-the-arc tonight but played smart defense and was a big positive for the Lakers overall.

Fantasy News & NBA Updates

LeBron James
SF, Los Angeles Lakers

Marc Stein is reporting that some NBA teams are expecting free agency to open on November 20 or 21 if the league moves forward with a rumored December 22 start date.

That would be just two or three days after the draft concludes, and still only leave a month to jam in training camps and preseason. The league appears dead set on fitting in as many games as possible for revenue purposes. The NBPA still has to approve this plan but the fact that so many ducks appear to be getting placed in rows is something to read into.

David Stockton
PG, International

Free agent point guard David Stockton has agreed to a contract with Puerto Rican club Mets de Guaynabo, according to Emiliano Carchia of Sportando.

Stockton is a G League lifer and spent last season with the South Bay Lakers. With the status of the G League unknown, he is securing some much needed playing time.

Kawhi Leonard
SF, Los Angeles Clippers

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are one season away from being able to leave in unrestricted free agency, but newly appointed head coach Ty Lue said that this is the situation they want to be in and it’s his job to make it a great environment.

The first year in L.A. certainly didn’t go as planned for the two superstars but the Clippers are determined to win. Lue mentioned that he is willing to stop favoring iso plays and that he will be incorporating more off-ball movement and ball-sharing responsibilities across the roster, while PG and Kawhi will see less court time with each other. The Clippers should be active in the offseason and it’s almost certain that they will remain contenders next season with George and Leonard leading the way.

Andre Drummond
C, Cleveland Cavaliers

The Celtics are monitoring the contract situation involving center Andre Drummond and could be a possible trade partner should the Cavs decide to make a move, according to Evan Dammarell of Forbes.

Drummond is expected to exercise the $28.7 million player option on his contract, but even if he does so, he will be a free agent at the end of next season. The two sides are reportedly far apart on an extension and the Cavs may be forced to trade the big man away eventually instead of risking to lose him for nothing. The Celtics got a tremendous year out of Daniel Theis this past season but it’s obvious that they are exploring the market in search of a long term solution and Drummond could be the missing piece.

Gordon Hayward
SF, Boston Celtics

Celtics forward Gordon Hayward could opt out of his contract in search of a long-term deal, according to several NBA analysts, including Zach Lowe of ESPN.

“There’s some buzz out there. And I can’t figure out what the buzz means,” Lowe said on his podcast. “I’m not sure what’s up, but I don’t think it’s a lock that he is on the Celtics next year.” Hayward has a $34.2 million option on his contract and Tim Bontemps recently reported that he was expected to pick it up. It’s likely that his agent is exploring all available options right now so nothing is imminent. Free agency is expected to begin shortly after the draft which is scheduled to take place on November 18th. Hayward’s value is likely to remain the same regardless of whether he jumps to another team.
