Shooting guard Talen Horton-Tucker will suit up for the reigning EuroLeague champions, Fenerbahce, in 2025-26. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Horton-Tucker had a 21-day window to seek an NBA contract before formally joining the Turkish team. It looks like he couldn't attract offers good enough to keep him in the league. Horton-Tucker won the NBA championship with the Los Angeles Lakers during his rookie year and has played 305 career regular-season games. Following a pair of seasons with the Utah Jazz, he joined the Chicago Bulls for the 2024-25 campaign. Horton-Tucker averaged 6.5 points in 12.5 minutes across 58 appearances in a Bulls uniform. It seems like the Chicago native has been around forever, but he'll only turn 25 in November and might eventually find his way back to the Association.

Guard Malcolm Brogdon has been linked with the New York Knicks. Ian Begley of SNY reports that Brogdon is among the candidates to fill the Knicks' final roster spot, along with Landy Shamet, who played for the team last season. Brogdon spent the 2024-25 campaign with the Washington Wizards, suiting up for only 24 games due to health issues. He became a free agent in the offseason after completing a two-year, $45 million contract. Brogdon won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award in 2023, but he has since played very little, which has damaged his value among teams and fantasy managers. Still, when he was on the court last season, Brogdon proved he can make an impact, averaging 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists in 23.5 minutes.

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins is reportedly attracting interest from the Los Angeles Lakers. In his latest Substack post, NBA insider Marc Stein mentions Wiggins as a potential target for the Lakers, as the team has "interest in adding a two-way swingman who can raise their ceiling." Wiggins only joined the Heat in February when the Golden State Warriors traded him in a deal to land Jimmy Butler. He played well in his new uniform, averaging 19.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.0 blocks in 32.1 minutes. Moving to L.A. would be a blow for Wiggins' offensive usage, lowering his fantasy value.

The Miami Heat reportedly have forward/center Precious Achiuwa on their radar, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Jackson notes that "several other teams" have also expressed their interest in Achiuwa, who is a free agent following the completion of a one-year, $6 million deal with the New York Knicks. Achiuwa spent his rookie campaign in Miami and would welcome a return to the team, according to Jackson. However, due to financial reasons, the Heat are in no rush to make a deal with Achiuwa. When the Knicks were healthy, Achiuwa had only a limited role on the team, and Miami seems like a much better fit for him. The Heat have lost several frontcourt players ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, including veteran Kevin Love.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, free-agent utility man Ben Simmons reportedly declined a contract offer from the Knicks. It's unknown how much it would take for Simmons to join a team. However, New York can't go higher than a veteran's minimum, so it's safe to say the three-time All-Star is looking for more than that. He ended last season by logging 18 games for the Los Angeles Clippers, although he averaged only 2.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists, all career-lows. There was another report from Stefan Bondy of the New York Post suggesting Simmons has pondered retirement. With that said, even if the 2016 No. 1 overall pick signs with a team during the 2025 campaign, he doesn't have much to offer, considering his shooting percentages are far from great. Simmons also has an extensive injury history, which won't help him find a spot on any fantasy roster.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (Achilles) continues his rehab efforts after undergoing surgery on a torn Achilles suffered during the playoff series versus the New York Knicks. Fortunately, he's moving in the right direction, with Jordan Walsh recently providing an encouraging update on his teammate. "I've seen him from when he messed up his Achilles to now, and it's a big difference," said Walsh. "He's moving around way better. So, he's progressing well." It's unknown exactly when Tatum will be ready to play. However, the Celtics still have more than a few capable scorers to help keep the team competitive. Fantasy managers can anticipate Jaylen Brown and Derrick White to lead the way offensively. Payton Pritchard, who is in line to move into the starting lineup, should be entering his best season to date after being named the 2025 NBA Sixth Man of the Year.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun delivered a remarkable performance at EuroBasket on Wednesday, nearly achieving a triple-double in Turkey's 95-90 victory over Nikola Jokic and Serbia. Sengun led all scorers with 28 points, collected a game-high 13 rebounds, and handed out eight assists. He also snagged one steal while shooting 10-for-17 from the field with a 4-for-7 showing from beyond the arc. Triple-doubles are rare at EuroBasket, with only four players posting one since 1995. Sengun was also very close to a triple-double earlier in the tournament against Czechia, falling short by just one assist. Overall, he has averaged 21.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 6.8 assists in 29.0 minutes. Sengun will have his next race for a triple-double on Saturday in a round of 16 matchup against Sweden.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic had a busy night but couldn't save Serbia from a 95-90 loss against Turkey at EuroBasket on Wednesday. The three-time NBA MVP notched a team-high 22 points, nine rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block in 33 minutes. Jokic drained a pair of three-pointers with six attempts and shot 10-for-16 from the field overall. This was a classic Jokic performance, but Houston's Alperen Sengun outperformed him in their head-to-head matchup. Jokic has fewer playmaking duties with Serbia and has been limited to 4.4 assists per game at EuroBasket, but he remains a regular in the double-double column. He finished the group phase with averages of 20.2 points and 9.2 rebounds. Next up, it's Lauri Markkanen and Finland in the round of 16 for Jokic's crew.

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (hand) played his usual minutes with Serbia in Wednesday's 95-90 EuroBasket loss to Turkey. Jovic reportedly injured his hand in the previous game against Czechia, but he appeared fine on Wednesday, scoring 10 points on 4-for-8 shooting and grabbing one rebound in 27 minutes. It wasn't a very productive game for the Heat forward, but overall, Jovic has looked good in the tournament, averaging 11.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 25.0 minutes. He has shot a hugely impressive 62.5 percent from the field, including 58.3 percent from downtown. The Heat would be delighted if they could get the same level of effort from Jovic during the upcoming NBA season.

Guard/forward Ben Simmons may have played his final NBA game. The 29-year-old free agent has been linked with several teams during the offseason, but a new report by Stefan Bondy of The New York Post suggests that Simmons could choose to retire. "Ben Simmons has generated interest from the Knicks and another team but is also questioning whether he even wants to continue playing in the NBA next season," Bondy wrote. Simmons is still only 29 years old and showed last season that he can make an impact if he's healthy. Over 51 appearances with the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Clippers, Simmons averaged 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists in 22.0 minutes.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington has agreed to a four-year, $90 million contract extension, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Washington had one year left on his contract for $14.1 million and now can't be traded during the upcoming campaign. The new deal means that Dallas has tied him down through the 2029-30 season. Washington moved to Texas in 2024 and became an instant hit. During his first full season with the Mavericks in 2024-25, he averaged 14.7 points, a career-high 7.8 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.1 blocks. Among players to make at least 50 appearances, Washington was one of only eight players to average at least 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. The addition of Cooper Flagg might affect Washington's role on the team, but the large contract extension shows he's still a key part of the Mavericks' plans.

Point guard Reece Beekman has agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Orlando Magic. After his rookie season with the Golden State Warriors and Brooklyn Nets, Beekman hopes for another shot in the NBA next season. In his first year in the league, Beekman averaged 2.6 points and 1.8 assists in 13.0 minutes, making 36 appearances. Following his rookie year, the Denver Nuggets also gave Beekman a look by picking him up for Summer League action. It's an uphill battle for Beekman to earn a spot on the Magic squad, as the team is well-stocked at the point guard position, with Tyus Jones joining Jalen Suggs and Anthony Black this summer.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama finished Spain's 67-63 loss to Italy at EuroBasket with a double-double on Tuesday, scoring a game-high 19 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Both marks were team-highs, and Aldama also led Spain with four assists. He shot 6-for-13 from the field, including 2-for-6 from three-point range. On the defensive end, Aldama contributed one steal and one block. Spain, which won its fourth EuroBasket title in 2022, is struggling in this year's edition, but Aldama has been a consistent performer. The 24-year-old has averaged 14.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 22.3 minutes. Aldama's role on the Grizzlies squad has grown with each year, along with his fantasy stock, and he looks set to remain a solid option for managers in 2025-26.

New York Knicks power forward Guerschon Yabusele rocked Poland during France's 83-76 victory at EuroBasket on Tuesday, racking up a national team career-high 36 points. He went berserk from deep, shooting 6-for-12, and finished 12-for-20 overall from the field. Yabusele wrapped up his stat line with six rebounds, two assists, and two blocks. This was the third-highest scoring outing ever by a French player in a EuroBasket contest. Yabusele's offensive explosion came out of nowhere, as he had notched only 24 total points across the first three games. Following a strong year with the Philadelphia 76ers, Yabusele finds himself in the Big Apple and looks like a good fit for the Knicks, bringing energy and a versatile skillset to the frontcourt.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic scored a game-high 26 points as Slovenia secured its spot in the Round of 16 at EuroBasket with an 87-79 victory over Iceland on Tuesday. Doncic was limited to 8-for-22 shooting, going 2-for-10 from downtown, but he still enjoyed a productive outing. The Mavericks superstar added seven rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block to his stat line. Doncic leads EuroBasket in scoring with an average of 31.3 points and is second in assists with 8.3 per game. After working hard on his physique over the summer, Doncic might be ready to deliver his best fantasy campaign yet.

Small forward Justin Minaya has signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Orlando Magic. He will join the team for training camp, aiming to earn a spot on the roster. Over his first three years as a pro, Minaya has made 57 appearances in the NBA, all with the Portland Trail Blazers. However, his workload has been very limited, with Minaya averaging 1.7 points and 1.4 rebounds in 10.0 minutes. In the G League, Minaya has posted 12.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game for his career. Every player begins training camp with a clean slate, but it seems unlikely that Minaya can force himself into Orlando's plans for the 2025-26 season.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain (knee) believes he has a chance to participate in training camp. "Yeah, my plan, for sure, is to participate," said McCain, "I mean, anything can happen, but for right now, I'm on pace." The 2024 No. 16 overall pick was in the mix for Rookie of the Year honors last season, averaging 15.3 points, including 23.8 points, 4.3 assists, and 4.3 rebounds in eight starts. Unfortunately, his season came to an early end after suffering a torn meniscus in his left knee, resulting in surgery. Only time will tell if McCain will be ready to go when the Sixers begin the 2025 campaign versus the Boston Celtics on October 22. Still, even if he is, it's possible he'll be on a minutes restriction. He may also not be a routine fantasy producer as long as Tyrese Maxey is available.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun continued to feast at the EuroBasket on Monday and hit a special milestone in Turkey's 84-64 win over Estonia. He became the first player in 30 years to post 20-plus points, five-plus rebounds, and five-plus assists in three consecutive EuroBasket games. The Rockets star finished the game with 21 points, eight boards, five assists, one steal, and one block, shooting 8-for-13 from the field, including 2-for-3 from three-point range. In the tournament, Sengun is the ninth-highest scorer with 20.0 points per game, ranks fourth with 8.8 rebounds, and third with 6.5 assists. He's a uniquely talented big man, and it's scary to think how much potential Sengun still has, given he only turned 23 in July.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner needed only 18 minutes of action to record a double-double in Germany's 120-57 victory over Great Britain on Monday. He put up 18 points on 6-for-9 shooting, hitting 3-for-4 from downtown, and dished out 10 assists. Wagner's easy day at the office included one rebound and one steal. The German star has been incredibly efficient at EuroBasket, filling the box score despite averaging only 23.2 minutes. Wagner has registered 21.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. He is shooting 50 percent from three and boasts an overall shooting percentage of 55.8. Last season, Wagner took a big leap in the NBA, and his play for Germany suggests that he will be even better in 2025-26.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic recorded his third double-double in four games as Montenegro beat Sweden 87-81 at EuroBasket 2025 on Monday. The Bulls big man dominated throughout 36 minutes on the floor, finishing with 23 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three blocks. Vucevic was hot from downtown with a 3-for-4 record and shot 9-for-15 overall from the field. Lauri Markkanen and Finland managed to hold him to seven points, but overall, Vucevic has had a very productive tournament. He's the leading rebounder in the tournament with 11.8 boards per game and has notched 18.3 points with 3.8 assists. Vucevic is entering a contract year with the Bulls and appears to be in great shape, which should be encouraging news for fantasy managers.
