New York Knicks forward Mohamed Diawara (finger) has resumed on-court workouts and is expected to be ready for the beginning of training camp in September. Diawara injured his finger during the Summer League, which required him to undergo surgery. It sounds worse than it is, with Diawara already back to doing basketball activities. Last season, Diawara averaged 3.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 9.2 minutes per game across 69 contests. He figures to be part of the rotation, but Diawara is unlikely to see enough playing time to warrant looking at in fantasy formats.

The Toronto Raptors signed guard/forward Andre Jackson Jr. to a training-camp deal on Tuesday. According to Michael Scotto, this is a camp deal and isn't a guaranteed contract for next season. Jackson will need to prove himself during training camp to land a spot on the final roster. Last season, Jackson averaged 2.4 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 8.5 minutes per game across 48 contests with the Milwaukee Bucks. He has spent each of the last three seasons with the Bucks, but he saw a significantly reduced role this past season. The 24-year-old still has potential to be a decent contributor, so we'll see if he can snag a bench role during camp. Even if he makes the roster, fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be fantasy-relevant.

The Portland Trail Blazers were rumored to be interested in signing free-agent DeMar DeRozan this offseason. According to Marc Stein, the Blazers are not exploring bringing in the veteran forward at this moment. The 36-year-old doesn't seem like he would be a great fit in Portland given their surplus of perimeter players. Even with Portland out of the sweepstakes, DeRozan is still reportedly drawing interest from the Heat, Nuggets, Wizards, and Cavaliers. Last season, DeRozan averaged 18.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 4.1 assists across 31.2 minutes per game in 77 contests with the Sacramento Kings. He's not the focal point of an offense anymore, but DeRozan could still help a contending team next season.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Jrue Holiday was rumored to be possibly leaving the organization this summer. According to Jake Fischer, the Blazers have no plans to buy out Holiday from his contract. There was speculation that Holiday would head to the Philadelphia 76ers, assuming he was able to secure a buyout from Portland. That won't happen, as the Blazers intend to keep Holiday around despite having a boatload of guards. This past season, Holiday averaged 16.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 6.1 assists across 29.4 minutes per game in 53 games. It could be more difficult for Holiday to secure consistent playing time this upcoming season. The Blazers acquired Ja Morant earlier this offseason, and Damian Lillard is fully healthy again. Portland also has Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe, so Portland has too many mouths to feed. The aging veterans, such as Holiday and Lillard, are likely to see a reduction in playing time this upcoming season.
