Kadeem Allen (strained right foot) ruled out on Friday

Kadeem Allen
SG, New York Knicks

The Knicks have ruled Kadeem Allen (strained right foot), Kenny Wooten (sprained left ankle) and Amir Hinton (strained right groin) out of Friday's preseason game.

While Allen had some nice moments at the end of last season, the fantasy impact is minimal. DFS players will at least have a clearer sense of which Knicks to play tonight.

Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Marc Gasol
C, Toronto Raptors

The Raptors are unlikely to offer Marc Gasol more than a one-year deal in free agency as the team looks to maintain cap flexibility for the 2021 offseason.

It's no secret the Raptors' entire game plan this offseason will revolve around maintaining enough cap space to sign a max free agent in 2021. In light of that goal and various statements made by GM Masai Ujiri it seems the team is unlikely to bring back Gasol on a long term deal. However, the Big Spaniard is in the final years of his career and will probably be looking for a two to three year contract to cap off his time in the NBA. Of course there is also the recent report that he's considering returning to Europe. All these things considered, odds are Gasol won't return to Toronto next year.

Devonte' Graham
PG, Charlotte Hornets

Devonte' Graham and the rest of the Hornets' young core will all attend the team's upcoming quarantined training camp.

The Hornets fully embraced a rebuild this season so they'll be excited to get their promising young players back in the gym. Notably Dwayne Bacon and Willy Hernangomez will both be participating despite entering free agency this offseason. Neither player had a consistent role this year, though Hernangomez produced some intriguing rebounding numbers in his limited minutes. It's unlikely the team is sold on bringing back either of them, especially so with Bacon as the Hornets are developing a logjam at the guard position. Notably absent from the team's camp is their highest paid player Nicolas Batum. He was injured or out of the rotation for most of the season as the team fully leaned into their young players. Batum has a massive player option next season that he'll almost certainly accept, but there's little chance his playing time will improve.

Malik Beasley
SG, Minnesota Timberwolves

The Wolves confirmed Malik Beasley will participate in their training bubble, despite being a restricted free-agent this offseason.

Free agents have trended toward skipping these training bubbles so Beasley's presence should be taken as a good sign he'll be returning to the Wolves next season. Juancho Hernangomez is also a restricted free agent but he will not be participating in the training bubble as he had already accepted a role in Adam Sandler's next film. That's not a joke, he is actually busy shooting with Sandler in Europe but would have joined the team had he been available, according to Wolves' GM Gersson Rosas. Based on this news the odds are Rosas will try and bring back both players next year.

Malcolm Brogdon
PG, Indiana Pacers

Ex-Thunder head coach Billy Donovan interviewed for the Pacers' head coaching vacancy last week and the team will begin conducting final in-person interviews soon, according to The Athletic.

Donovan is one of the biggest names on the market and will likely be interviewing for many of the teams looking for a new coach. The Pacers have been attached to several other names including Chauncey Billups and Warriors' assistant coach Mike Brown. Multiple teams appear to be heading into the final round of interviews with head coaching candidates, so expect to see a volley of headlines in the coming weeks as final decisions are made.

Joel Embiid
C, Philadelphia Sixers

The Sixers will conduct in-person interviews with the finalists for their head coaching position, with former Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni, the Clippers' Tyronn Lue and former Thunder coach Billy Donovan among the final candidates.

Those are some of the biggest names on the market right now and The Athletic reports all three have a strong desire to lead the Sixers. Earlier this month it was reported that the team was close to signing a deal with Lue, but it appears with names like D'Antoni and Donovan becoming available the Sixers decided to reevaluate the decision. Of the many teams with a head coaching vacancy the Sixers are certainly the most tantalizing, so it's not surprising to see such big names vying for the position.
