Free agent guard Devonte' Graham was waived by the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday afternoon. The 29-year-old played for the San Antonio Spurs last season while appearing in a total of 23 games. He averaged 5.0 points, 2.1 assists, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.1 threes across 13.6 minutes per game. His role has diminished as his career rolled on, but there are still plenty of teams who could use a depth option that is able to hit threes. Graham was only fantasy-relevant over the past couple of years when injuries happened, so if he does find a new team, he'll have a tough time getting back on the fantasy radar.
Free-agent guard Devonte' Graham agreed to a one-year deal with the Portland Trail Blazers. The 29-year-old was one of the league's most promising young players, averaging a career-high 18.2 points and 7.5 assists in his sophomore season. Unfortunately, his statistical contributions have declined over the years. He also appeared in only 23 games in San Antonio last season. With that said, Graham may get some chances in the starting lineup during the 2024-25 campaign. However, he likely won't see consistent minutes behind Scoot Henderson, Anfernee Simons, and Shaedon Sharpe, among others.
San Antonio Spurs guard Devonte' Graham has been suspended for the first two games of the upcoming 2023-2024 season. Graham will be suspended after pleading guilty to a charge of impaired judgement while driving in North Carolina. The 28-year-old was traded from the Charlotte Hornets to the Spurs last season. He averaged 13.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds across 20 appearances with San Antonio. The expectation is that Graham will probably fall into a depth role with the Spurs next season. His fantasy value could be inconsistent depending on where he fits into the rotation.
San Antonio Spurs guard Devonte' Graham (adductor) isn't available on Saturday versus Minnesota. The 28-year-old has played well since joining the Spurs ahead of the trade deadline. However, San Antonio has nothing left to play for, so his season is likely finished. Nevertheless, Tre Jones should handle things at the one. Considering Devin Vassell (hamstring) and Jeremy Sochan (knee) are out, Jones has a higher-than-usual upside. It will increase even more if Keldon Johnson (foot), who is questionable, doesn't suit up either.
San Antonio Spurs guard Devonte' Graham (quadriceps) won't suit up on Sunday versus Atlanta. The 28-year-old has averaged 15.5 points in 13 games for the Spurs since being acquired ahead of the deadline. However, he's dealing with a sore quad tendon, meaning Tre Jones could see plenty of action against the Hawks. At the same time, Malaki Branham, who scored 18 points in the overtime loss to Memphis on Friday night, has a higher fantasy ceiling than usual.
San Antonio Spurs guard Devonte' Graham had one of his best outings of the season Saturday, producing a game-high 28 points in a 122-110 loss to Houston. All of his makes from the field came with a 7-for-12 effort from downtown and he had a perfect 7-for-7 record at the foul line. Graham pulled down two rebounds, dished out four assists, and had two turnovers in 29 minutes. Injuries are keeping a lot of Spurs guys out of the lineup and it has allowed Graham to make three starts across the last five games. He's become a viable fantasy option by posting some very solid numbers during his nine-game stint with the Spurs. Graham has averaged 15.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists since coming over from New Orleans via a trade.
The Spurs received guard Devonte' Graham (and four second-round picks) from the Pelicans on Thursday. In return, New Orleans landed Josh Richardson. Graham was traded to the Pelicans in August of 2021 after averaging 14.8 points in his final year in Charlotte. Since then, the 27-year-old has seen his production dwindle, recently averaging 5.3 points in 53 games this season. Fortunately, he has an excellent chance to turn things around in San Antonio, potentially carving out a role in the starting lineup. But even if Graham doesn't start, he could receive plenty of minutes from the bench. With that said, he's not worth adding in any fantasy format at the moment, although managers should keep an eye on his progress in San Antonio.
New Orleans Pelicans guard Devonte' Graham (toe) could sit out his first game of the season Wednesday against the Pistons. He's on the injury report with a right big toe sprain. The 27-year-old has seen his fantasy value disappear this season, but he has received extended minutes lately due to a number of injuries and it will be a bad blow for Graham if he can't make it Wednesday. His absence should give more minutes to Jose Alvarado and Dyson Daniels, with the former looking like a very attractive piece for Wednesday's action. Alvarado exploded for a career-high 38 points in 27 minutes at the weekend against Denver, and he has become a good option across all fantasy formats.
Devonte' Graham Records Season-Best 30 Points In Victory
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Devonte' Graham went for a season-high 30 points across just 29 minutes Thursday in a win over the Bulls. Graham's offensive eruption comes on the heels of a diametrically opposite performance Monday, when he scored just two points and shot 1-for-8 overall against his former team, Charlotte. Graham, complete with a new hairdo, knocked down five threes and all nine of his free-throw attempts, adding four assists as well. He has averaged just 27.4 minutes per game since returning to the starting five over the past six outings, which complicates his DFS appeal moving forward. While he has scuffled from the field overall this year, the Pelicans will have a favorable matchup Saturday when they face San Antonio, who plays at the league's third-fastest pace.
New Orleans Pelicans guard Devonte' Graham (hip) won't play against the Atlanta Hawks. Graham was riding a questionable tag throughout the day. However, his right hip soreness is severe enough to hold him out, although there is a chance he could be back in the mix for Monday night's showdown versus Charlotte. Nevertheless, C.J. McCollum may handle most of the ball-handling duties and see a noteworthy bump in usage on Sunday evening, potentially increasing his fantasy potential.
