• Shut down for rest of season
    The Hornets announced Thursday that Martin (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Advice: Martin, LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Seth Curry (ankle) have all been shut down for good after prolonged injury absences. Martin appeared in 28 games (22 starts) this season and averaged 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 26.9 minutes per game. Martin has played in just 35 games the last two seasons due to injuries but has one more guaranteed year on the four-year contract he signed in July of 2022, so he should be back in Charlotte for the 2024-25 season.

  • Out for remainder of 2023-24
    Curry (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of the season, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Advice: Curry hasn't played since March 1 due to a right ankle sprain and will not be shut down for the rest of 2023-24. Curry will end the season averaging 5.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 14.3 minutes across 43 appearances between Charlotte and Dallas on a career-low 35.2 three-point percentage.

  • Chips in 15 off bench Wednesday
    Temple totaled 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 145-101 loss to the Knicks.

    Advice: The 37-year-old wing has seen a significant role in the Raptors' injury-ravaged rotation over the last week, and Temple's 15 points and six boards were both season highs. With RJ Barrett (conditioning) and Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) both about to rejoin the lineup, however, Temple will likely be the first player bumped to the end of the bench for the rebuilding team.

  • Pops for career-high 23 in loss
    Dick finished Wednesday's 145-101 loss to the Knicks with 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and one rebound in 30 minutes.

    Advice: The rookie guard led the Raptors in scoring while setting a new career high as he made his 10th straight start for the injury-ravaged club. Dick has only scored in double digits five times over that stretch, displaying some unsurprising consistency issues, but the 13th overall pick in the 2023 Draft has mostly held up well with the extra usage and has averaged 12.6 points, 2.6 boards, 2.0 assists and 1.8 threes during that stretch while playing 31.9 minutes a contest. With Immanuel Quickley (conditioning) and RJ Barrett (conditioning) both on the cusp of rejoining the lineup though, Dick's workload could be reduced even if remains in the starting five.

  • Efficient night from second unit
    Bogdanovic recorded 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 16 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 145-101 win over Toronto.

    Advice: The 34-year-old forward didn't need to do too much in the rout, but he took advantage of his opportunities. Bogdanovic is still capable of supplying some instant offense from the second unit, but he's had an inconsistent March, scoring in double digits only five times in 12 games and shooting just 34.0 percent (17-for-50) from three-point range.

  • Returns to NBA
    The Bucks recalled Jackson from the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Thursday.

    Advice: Jackson will return to the NBA after a brief stint in the G League. However, the rookie wing is unlikely to receive significant playing time for Milwaukee in Thursday's game in New Orleans. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
  • Drains five threes Wednesday
    DiVincenzo accumulated 16 points (5-12 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 145-101 victory over the Raptors.

    Advice: It was another big night from beyond the arc for DiVincenzo, who has buried multiple three-pointers in 30 straight games. Through 12 contests in March, the 27-year-old guard has averaged 19.5 points, 4.5 boards, 4.4 threes, 3.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks while attempting nearly 12 shots a game (11.9) from three-point range.

  • Eyeing Sunday return
    Vincent (knee) is set to join the Lakers for the start of their four-game road trip that begins Friday in Indiana and is expected to make his return to action Sunday in Brooklyn, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Though Vincent looks like he'll remain out Friday, barring a setback leading up to Sunday's morning shootaround, he'll be available to play later that day against the Nets for what would be his first appearance since Dec. 20. After signing a three-year, $33 million deal with the Lakers over the summer, Vincent has thus far been limited to just five appearances after his season debut was delayed while he recovered from a left knee effusion. The knee issue then cropped up again in December, prompting Vincent to undergo arthroscopic surgery to provide a longer-term fix for the issue. Vincent will likely claim a spot in the rotation once healthy, though he could be in store for only a light role behind backcourt starters D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves.

  • Hits for 26 in Toronto
    Brunson supplied 26 points (11-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 145-101 victory over the Raptors.

    Advice: The 27-year-old guard continues to fill up the bucket, topping 25 points for the seventh time in the last 10 games. Over that stretch, Brunson has averaged 28.3 points, 6.2 assists, 3.2 boards, 2.9 threes and 0.8 steals while leading the Knicks to an 8-2 record, as the team looks to lock up a playoff spot and avoid sliding back into the Play-In Tournament.
