Phoenix Suns forward/center Rasheer Fleming could see a larger rotation role in 2026-27, with John Voita of Bright Side of the Sun projecting him as the backup power forward with occasional minutes at center and small forward. The 22-year-old averaged 4.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in 12.2 minutes as a rookie, but those numbers climbed to 6.6 points and 3.4 rebounds in 18.9 minutes across 24 of Phoenix's final 25 games. Miles Bridges projects to start, leaving Fleming to battle Ryan Dunn and rookie Koa Peat for reserve minutes. Fleming showed late-season shooting growth, but he still needs a steady role before becoming a reliable fantasy option.

The Golden State Warriors signed guard Deivon Smith to a training camp contract Tuesday, according to Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot, putting him in contention for the team's final two-way opening. Smith strengthened his case during Summer League, recording 21 points on 9-for-14 shooting, nine rebounds and three assists in the title-game win over Memphis. He also averaged 16.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.7 steals across three starts for College Park before Santa Cruz acquired him for two G-League draft picks in February. With Golden State's 15 standard spots filled and LJ Cryer and Malevy Leons on two-way deals, Smith faces a crowded path to NBA minutes and carries little fantasy value unless he secures the final slot.

The New York Knicks have waived forward Igor Milicic, the team announced. The move comes days after he agreed to an Exhibit 10 deal with the defending champions. Westchester already holds his G League rights after a trade with Delaware, and Milicic can earn a bonus of up to roughly $91,000 if he spends at least 60 days with the affiliate. He averaged 6.9 points in 18.8 minutes across 45 games with the Blue Coats last season, shooting 40.2 percent from the field. The Polish forward posted 18 points and eight rebounds against Germany in World Cup qualifying last month, but he carries no fantasy value at the NBA level. The bigger fantasy question is how New York fills out its frontcourt after losing Mitchell Robinson to Boston, with Andre Drummond as the veteran reinforcement.

The New York Knicks have signed center Liam Robbins to an Exhibit 10 contract, the team announced. Robbins earned the camp look after a solid Las Vegas Summer League run, highlighted by 15 points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals, and four blocks against Detroit. The 2023 SEC Defensive Player of the Year now joins New York's third-center competition behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond, giving the Knicks another rim-protection option after Mitchell Robinson left for Boston. Robbins' NBA experience is thin, as he logged just 57 minutes across 13 games with Milwaukee in 2024-25. The Exhibit 10 structure leaves room for a two-way conversion, but Robbins will not have fantasy value unless he makes the roster and injuries thin out New York's frontcourt.
