Toronto Raptors center Aron Baynes (knee) was forced to exit mid-game during an exhibition game versus Team USA. Baynes collided into guard Bradley Beal and appeared to have suffered a knee injury. He went to the locker room and did return to the bench, but didn't get back into the game. Baynes averaged 6.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 53 games (31 starts) with the Toronto Raptors this season. He remains under contract for one more season, but his fantasy value is unlikely going to change much heading into next season. This injury appears to be minor, so Raptors' fans don't need to worry about Baynes missing time.
Toronto Raptors center Aron Baynes (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Raptors are in must-win territory with only a handful of games left in the regular season. Sadly, they will have a bunch of players sidelined for this game. Khem Birch is going to see all the minutes he can handle here, so he should be a reliable fantasy option on Thursday.
With Kyle Lowry (foot) out, the Toronto Raptors will push Aron Baynes into the starting lineup against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is likely a move to match Jusuf Nurkic and Enes Kanter on the boards given their size compared to Chris Boucher. Regardless, Boucher's fantasy managers have to feel a little frustrated as he has not hit 30 minutes of play in any of his past seven games. Either way, Boucher's potential is way too high to cut bait so just wait it out.
Toronto Raptors center Aron Baynes (groin) will play Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Baynes was probable, then downgraded to a game-time decision, but there was no real doubt in his availability. Baynes will likely get the start again and has been seeing a majority of the center minutes ahead of Chris Boucher. This has been mostly due to match ups and Boucher could see the lion's share of minutes Friday with the Nets running Jeff Green at center.
Toronto Raptors center Aron Baynes (groin) is now a game-time decision Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Baynes seemingly had no issue in playing tonight after being listed as probable to play with a groin strain, but now the Raptors are playing it safe with their big man. If Baynes is eventually ruled out, Chris Boucher would see an immediate boost in usage and playing time. Boucher had a stretch of top-25 fantasy value, but has seen a significant dip in play time recently, mostly due to match ups.
Toronto Raptors center Aron Baynes (groin) is probable on Friday against the Nets. The 34-year-old has been dealing with the nagging injury, but he should be good to go against a Brooklyn team that has had issues defending underneath the rim. The veteran has played at least 23 minutes in each of his previous four outings, but outside of getting it done on the glass, he doesn't contribute much else. With Baynes remaining in the lineup, Chris Boucher may continue to see a decrease in minutes.
Toronto Raptors center Aron Baynes is expected to be the starting center when the regular season begins, according to head coach Nick Nurse. This news comes as no surprise after Baynes signed a two-year deal with the team over the offseason. The departure of Marc Gasol means Baynes is set to see significant playing time. Baynes played well last season and looked great from beyond the arc. He has put himself in possibly the late round conversation on draft day.
Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes could be headed elsewhere this offseason. The veteran was non-committal when asked about his future with the team. I loved my time in Phoenix, Baynes said. I knew what it was coming in here and I was able to go out there and take advantage of the role that was given to me throughout a number of different situations." Baynes will hit free agency after posting career highs in multiple categories. He could very well land a significant role on another organization. His fantasy value will be dependent on where he signs in free agency.
Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He has not played in a game during the bubble yet. However, the team is 4-0 without Baynes, so his absence isn't hurting the team. Deandre Ayton is healthy and playing well, so the team is in no rush to get Baynes back on the court. He won't have much fantasy value anyway, so fantasy owners can continue to expect Ayton to carry the load down low.
Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (conditioning) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. His is still getting his conditioning back to normal after dealing with COVID-19. Baynes has gone through some light practices, but his conditioning isn't where it needs to be yet. There's a chance that we don't see him at all during the seeding games. He won't have a much of a role anyway with Deandre Ayton healthy.
