Daniel Theis has successful arthroscopic procedure on left knee, expected to be ready for training camp

Daniel Theis
PF, Boston Celtics

Daniel Theis underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left knee on Tuesday but is expected to be fully healthy by training camp.

Theis has a non-guaranteed contract of just $5M for next season that the Celtics will most certainly guarantee as Theis was instrumental in their success this past season. This didn't seem to be a major operation so expectations are that Theis won't be slowed down by this once the 2020-21 season rolls along. However, knee procedures are not nothing in basketball so this is something to be aware of come draft season.

Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Tyler Johnson
PG-SG, Brooklyn Nets

The Nets have announced that they've re-signed Tyler Johnson.

Johnson is likely on a veteran's minimum contract considering Brooklyn's cap constraints. It's a bit surprising that he went back to the Nets considering their depth and his lack of routes to playing time when the current roster is healthy, but Johnson did put together a nice run in the bubble for the organization. He's not a lock to be in Brooklyn's nightly rotation.

J.J. Barea
PG, Dallas Mavericks

JJ Barea has agreed to a one-year deal with the Mavs, per ESPN's Tim MacMahon.

The deal puts the Mavs at 16 contracts so someone's coming off the roster before opening night. While the Mavs added Tyrell Terry in the draft, they also lost Seth Curry and Delon Wright in trades, meaning that Barea is likely to stick as a capable veteran insurance policy. He's always been a solid per-minute producer of assists but Barea is a longshot to hold fantasy value.

Frank Kaminsky
PF, Phoenix Suns

Frank Kaminsky has agreed to a one-year deal with the Kings, per Adrian Wojnarowski.

Kaminsky had his $5.2 million option declined by the Suns, putting him in the free agent market. His deal with the Kings is reported to be non-guaranteed. Last year saw Kaminsky put up 9.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.3 blocks and 1.1 triples in 19.9 mpg as a bench big, though he was actually a fairly prominent part of the rotation until a right patella stress fracture knocked him out of 33 games. The Kings now have a very crowded frontcourt with Kaminsky joining Marvin Bagley, Richaun Holmes, Nemanja Bjelica and Hassan Whiteside. It's shaping up as a major fantasy headache.

Bobby Portis
PF, Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks have made the signings of Bobby Portis, Torrey Craig and Bryn Forbes official.

Portis and Forbes are on two-year deals while Craig is on a one-year contract. Milwaukee did a nice job to overhaul their bench without breaking the bank, and each player here fits a need for the title-hopeful Bucks. Portis is the closest to fantasy relevance of the three (though it's still unlikely) and looks like the first big off the bench. A 22-25 mpg role could get him close to the 12-team radar, and there's upside if the Bucks use him at both frontcourt spots in different lineups. Forbes will give Milwaukee a reliable floor-spacer off the bench while Craig will be occupying a defensive specialist role as a guy capable of guarding three positions.

Pat Connaughton
SG, Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks have officially re-signed Pat Connaughton.

Connaughton's deal is believed to be for $16 million over three years. The athletic guard will be looking to improve upon last season's numbers of 5.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.5 blocks and 0.8 threes in 18.6 mpg, but it's tough to see how he can carve out more playing time with Jrue Holiday, Bryn Forbes and Torrey Craig joining the wing ranks. While it's a rich deal for a player who lines up as the 7th or 8th guy in the rotation at his peak, Connaughton is a nice depth option for the Bucks to have as they gear up for a title run.
