It’s a sensible move for the Hornets, who sent center Mark Williams to the Suns on draft night. Now the 35-year-old Plumlee leaves the Suns for the Hornets in free agency. He figures to mostly serve as a veteran presence and mentor to Ryan Kalkbrenner, who the Hornets acquired with the No. 34 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

With D’Angelo Russell in Dallas, Dinwiddie became the odd man out in the backcourt, and he’ll take on a backup role behind LaMelo Ball. Given Ball’s voluminous injury history, it wouldn’t be surprising if Dinwiddie played enough to make meaningful contributions for fantasy managers.

Acquired from the Thunder at the 2024 trade deadline, Mann was limited to 13 games last season due to a back injury. He did not play again after November 21 but averaged 14.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 24.5 minutes. Mann can provide value off the bench as Charlotte’s backup point guard when healthy. However, he’s likely to be most useful in fantasy leagues next season when LaMelo Ball is unavailable due to injury.

Connaughton exercised his $9.4 million player option for next season within the last two weeks. With the Bucks in a precarious position as far as the salary cap is concerned, Milwaukee is sending two future second-round picks in 2031 and 2032 to offload his contract. Connaughton will remain in a bench role with the Hornets and doesn’t figure to impact fantasy basketball much at all next year.

The 12-week timeframe puts the next significant JJJ update no earlier than September 24, which means he may be ready for the start of the regular season. If Jackson Jr. is forced to miss time into October, Santi Aldama could see a major boost in usage and fantasy value. Zach Edey (ankle) is already set to miss the beginning of the season, leaving Memphis’ frontcourt rotation potentially thin to kick off the 2025-26 campaign.

The Grizzlies announced on Tuesday that Jackson — who agreed earlier this week to a five-year, $240 million extension — injured his toe during a live basketball run on Monday. The team also announced that he’ll need to undergo a procedure to address the issue, but no information was provided regarding the severity of the injury. While Jackson is expected to make a full recovery, a timeline for return will not be announced until after the procedure. He’s the second rotation big to require a procedure this summer, with Zach Edey expected to miss at least four months after undergoing left ankle surgery. If Edey or Jackson is not ready to begin the regular season, Santi Aldama’s fantasy ceiling will be raised.

With the Clippers having agreed to a deal with Brook Lopez on Monday, there was not going to be room for Eubanks in the team’s rotation for next season. As a result, he’ll be waived, and the 6-foot-10 center has already found his next home. According to Charania, Eubanks will sign a one-year deal with the Kings after he clears waivers. Sacramento traded Jonas Valančiūnas to the Nuggets for Dario Šarić earlier Tuesday, so there will be opportunities for Eubanks as Domantas Sabonis’ backup. However, that isn’t enough to make him viable in fantasy basketball.
