Cole Anthony Fantasy Stats

Milwaukee Bucks guard Cole Anthony (illness) will play against the New York Knicks on Tuesday night. Initially, the team gave him a questionable tag on the injury report, but Anthony has now been upgraded to available and is ready to rejoin the lineup after missing one game due to illness. Anthony will help to compensate for the absence of Kevin Porter Jr. (ankle) in the backcourt. Through his first two outings of the season, Anthony has provided 16.0 points and 6.0 assists per game. However, his early-season shooting percentage of 68.4 isn't sustainable.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Cole Anthony (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the New York Knicks. Due to illness, Anthony was forced to drop out of the lineup against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, and he may now have to miss a second consecutive game. Anthony was productive in his first two appearances for the Bucks and could currently play a larger role in the rotation due to Kevin Porter Jr.'s (ankle) absence. With both Anthony and Porter Jr. sidelined on Sunday, Ryan Rollins and AJ Green carried the backcourt, combining for 34 points and 10 assists.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Cole Anthony (face) was forced to exit Monday's preseason affair against the Miami Heat early. He suffered a chin laceration and needed stitches. Anthony was a victim of friendly fire, as teammate Bobby Portis accidentally hit him in the face with his elbow while grabbing a rebound. In the game, Anthony was limited to two points in seven minutes. He might miss some preseason action due to the injury, but fantasy managers shouldn't worry about Anthony's availability for the start of the regular season. The Bucks plan to use Kevin Porter Jr. as their starting point guard, leaving Anthony in a reserve role. However, the 25-year-old could still provide fantasy value. He has averaged 10.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in a bench role during his career.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Cole Anthony wants to battle for the NBA championship in the upcoming campaign. "I look at it as a great opportunity to enter another team where they have a playoff pedigree and a championship pedigree," Anthony told Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel. "They've won a 'chip there. I just want to get in there, contribute and do whatever I can for the team. I want to be a part of winning." Anthony is likely to have a decent role with the Bucks, whether as a starter or not, and should provide at least low-tier fantasy value. Over his career, he has averaged 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists, despite only starting 125 of 320 games.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, guard Cole Anthony and the Memphis Grizzlies agreed to a contract buyout. Charania added that Anthony plans to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks after he clears waivers. The 25-year-old was traded to the Grizzlies this offseason in the deal that sent Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic. Anthony is coming off his worst year in the National Basketball Association, averaging only 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.9 assists. With a crowded backcourt in Memphis, Anthony would have had a tough time getting consistent work. However, his anticipated move to Milwaukee could mean he has a legitimate chance of starting, although he should still get plenty of minutes even if Kevin Porter Jr. rolls with the first five during the 2025 campaign.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Memphis Grizzlies are acquiring guard Cole Anthony from the Orlando Magic in exchange for guard Desmond Bane. The Grizzlies will also receive guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, four unprotected first-round picks, and a first-round pick swap. The 2020 No. 15 overall pick has spent his entire career in Orlando. His best season was in 2021-22, when he averaged 16.3 points per contest. However, Anthony amassed only 9.4 points in 67 games during the 2024-25 campaign, a substantial dip. Anthony could struggle to find a consistent role in Memphis, especially with Ja Morant, Scotty Pippen Jr., and Caldwell-Pope on the roster. Still, he may get an opportunity to get involved, considering Morant has had issues staying on the court over the years.

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's action against the San Antonio Spurs. He missed a seventh consecutive contest on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. However, there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel for Anthony after he was upgraded to questionable ahead of the week. Anthony's return will bump Cory Joseph back to the bench. The veteran guard has not been very productive with additional opportunities over the last couple of weeks but played well on Monday, notching 10 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Anthony Black's fantasy value will also decline with Anthony's return.

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) remains out for Monday's meeting with the Clippers, marking his seventh-consecutive absence because of a sprained toe. Cory Joseph has been filling in at the one. However, Joseph hasn't done much with his afforded opportunity, with the veteran averaging 7.4 points, 3.2 assists, and 3.2 rebounds in 10 starts this season. On the other hand, Anthony Black has benefited from Anthony's absence, amassing double-digit scoring in five of his last seven appearances.

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It looks like he will be out for a sixth consecutive game due to a left big toe sprain. Cory Joseph will likely continue to start in his place, although Anthony Black has offered more production from a fantasy perspective. Over the last five games, Black has posted 14.2 points per game with 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.4 blocks.

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (toe) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks, having been downgraded from doubtful to out. The 24-year-old playmaker is struggling to recover from a sprained left big toe. Anthony Black and Cory Joseph will maintain their additional fantasy value against Dallas. This matchup is favorable for Orlando's point guards, as Dallas allows the ninth-most fantasy points to that position. Recently, Black has been the superior fantasy option, averaging 16.7 points and 5.3 rebounds over the past three games.
