Knicks reserve guard Jose Alvarado issued a warning to Victor Wembanyama after the Spurs center shoved Jalen Brunson in the back of the head during Monday's Game 3, telling reporters "that'll be the last one," the New York Post reports. Officials missed the first-quarter play, and the NBA is reviewing it for a retroactive flagrant foul after its head of officiating acknowledged a foul was there. That review is the fantasy story. Wembanyama, who poured in 32 points with eight rebounds, six assists, and three blocks in the 115-111 win, already drew a Flagrant-2 ejection earlier this postseason. An upgrade here would leave him one flagrant foul away from an automatic one-game suspension, a live availability risk for DFS managers with the Spurs trailing 2-1 entering Game 4.

Boston Celtics center Nikola Vucevic is not expected to return to the team this offseason, with CelticsBlog relaying Marc Stein's report that the veteran big man is increasingly viewed as likely to switch teams. Vucevic was acquired from Chicago at the trade deadline for Anfernee Simons and a draft pick, but his Boston run never fully clicked after a fractured right ring finger cost him 14 games. He averaged 15.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 3.3 assists for the season, though those numbers dipped to 9.7 points and 6.6 rebounds in 16 regular-season games with the Celtics. A move away from Boston could help his fantasy outlook if he lands a steadier frontcourt role, while the Celtics will likely need to address center depth again.

Real Madrid forward Trey Lyles is unlikely to return to the club unless its hopes of keeping him somehow survive more lucrative offers or his desire to get back to the NBA, according to Marca's Nacho Duque. Lyles signed a one-year deal with Real Madrid last summer after 10 NBA seasons, and the club's official site still lists him with 890 points, 326 rebounds, and 112 assists over 71 appearances. In EuroLeague play, he averaged 14.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.7 blocks while shooting 43.1% from three-point range. Lyles would need the right NBA landing spot to carry fantasy value, but his shooting and frontcourt versatility should keep him on the offseason watch list.

Ja Morant's trade market lost a rumored landing spot, as the Phoenix Suns have no interest in pursuing the Memphis Grizzlies guard this offseason, ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel reports. Sources cited Phoenix's reluctance to make a drastic roster change and to absorb the $87 million left on Morant's deal. The Suns instead keep their backcourt of Devin Booker and Jalen Green, the latter looking to bounce back after injuries capped him at 32 games. Morant (elbow) remains widely expected to be moved after missing Memphis's final 40 games with a sprained left UCL and feuding with the organization. For fantasy purposes, his value is hard to pin down: a healthy Morant is a top-tier source of points and assists, but the looming trade, the injury, and an unsettled role leave his 2026-27 outlook among the league's biggest question marks.
