Orlando: So, it’s been a wild ride in fantasy basketball lately. We’ve got two big injuries shaking things up, and it’s got everyone buzzing. First off, Franz Wagner is out with an oblique injury. This guy was on fire, ranking as a top player in fantasy leagues. It’s a real bummer to see him go down, especially since he was in the running for Most Improved Player.
And if that wasn’t enough, Scottie Barnes also got hurt during a game against the Knicks. He stepped on Karl-Anthony Towns’ foot and looked like he was in serious pain. Thankfully, his X-rays came back negative, but we’re still waiting to hear more about how long he’ll be out.
With both of these stars sidelined, it opens the door for other players to step up. Jalen Suggs and Goga Bitadze are likely to see more action for the Magic, while RJ Barrett might take on a bigger role for the Raptors. It’s a great time to grab some of these guys if you’re looking to boost your fantasy lineup.
And let’s not forget, the NBA Cup is kicking off soon! It would’ve been a star-studded event, but now it’s a bit of a mixed bag without Wagner and Barnes. Still, teams like the Knicks and Bucks are ready to put on a show. Keep an eye on those matchups; they could be thrilling!
So, what do you think? Are you feeling the impact of these injuries on your fantasy team? Let’s chat about it!
