Cody Martin (right ankle sprain) will not play against the Heat on Wednesday.

Martin was doubtful heading into the day so this news comes as no surprise. Hopefully, he can get healthy to play in their next preseason game on Friday.

Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Paul George
SF, Los Angeles Clippers

Jovan Buha of The Athletic is reporting that Tyronn Lue is a candidate in the Clippers' coaching search.

Lue was an assistant with LA last season and is already said to be a candidate for other gigs around the league, namely Philadelphia. ESPN previously reported that analyst Jeff Van Gundy is in the mix as well, and he's been connected to the Rockets. Monday's surprising dismissal of Doc Rivers was said to have been the result of several things building up over the years rather than this past season's disappointing finish, and the team is looking for a high-level thinker who "values progress and innovation," as well as someone who can better develop young players and uphold an identity built on toughness and grit.

Jayson Tatum
SF, Boston Celtics

Tim Bontemps of ESPN is reporting that the Celtics are expected to offer Jayson Tatum a max contract extension this offseason.

Tatums is wrapping up a fantastic season where he averaged 23.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.9 triples, on his way to making the 2019-20 All-NBA Third Team. The Celtics clearly see him as their franchise player and he should remain in Boston for many more years.

Joe Harris
SF, Brooklyn Nets

Joe Harris wants to return to Brooklyn and the Nets have made it clear that he is their top priority in the offseason, but he’s expected to have plenty of suitors.

Harris said back in February that his preference was to re-sign with the Nets in order to play with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and has steadfastly maintained the same position up until now. Brooklyn has already committed $132 million to a dozen players for next season, not including Harris or a $5 million team option on Garrett Temple. Ex-Nets assistant GM Bobby Marks recently mentioned that if Harris got a starting salary of $12.2 million, the Nets could face a $50 million luxury tax. The Knicks, the Hawks, the Hornets and the Wolves could try to lure away the talented sharpshooter, while there have been rumors of Harris sign-and-trades, with capped-out teams like the Sixers or the Warriors. One things is for sure, Harris should maintain a similar role going forward whether he re-signs with the Nets or not.

Bruno Fernando
PF, Atlanta Hawks

Bruno Fernando has spent part of his offseason watching every game from his rookie year, as he looks for areas to improve in his game.

“I was just really not being decisive,” Fernando said. “I think that was the biggest thing that really didn’t allow me to be myself because I was scared of making mistakes.” Fernando has been working a lot with Clint Capela at the Hawks’ minicamp that started last week. The Angolan big will have to fight Dewayne Dedmon for minutes next year as the Hawks are expected to start John Collins next to Capela. Fernando’s work ethic though is a great sign and it remains to be seen if he will be able to crack the rotation.

Kawhi Leonard
SF, Los Angeles Clippers

Marc Stein of NY Times is reporting that Jeff Van Gundy and Ty Lue have emerged as the early favorites to become the next head coach of the Clippers.

Lue appears to suddenly be in great demand around the league with the Sixers, the Pelicans and the Rockets reportedly after him. The report says that the Clippers may have decided to part ways with Doc Rivers because they didn’t want to lose him to a contender, although this seems to be a stretch. Van Gundy meanwhile hasn’t coached an NBA team since back in 2007 when he spent four years with the Rockets. Look for more names to come up in the next few days although it’s almost certain that the Clippers will hire a veteran coach.
