Free agent forward Dylan Windler is heading to Australia after agreeing to a new deal with the Perth Wildcats on Thursday. The 27-year-old has played for four teams in four seasons throughout his NBA career. He was the 26th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers and then he went on to play for the Knicks, Lakers, and Hawks this past season. Windler averaged 3.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game across 101 appearances while shooting 42.5% from the floor, 34.7% from deep, and 80.0% from the free throw line.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dylan Windler has had a tough start to his NBA career after being drafted in 2019. The team will not extend him a qualifying offer, which was set to be around $5 million, and he will become an unrestricted free agent. The former first-round pick appeared in 84 games across three seasons for the Cavaliers and dealt with a slew of injuries in the process. Ultimately, he never turned into the sharpshooter that they hoped he would. If he finds his way onto another team, he won't be much of a fantasy factor.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dylan Windler (hand) will miss at least one week of action and will be re-evaluated after that. An MRI revealed that he fractured the fourth metacarpal in his left hand during Wednesday's season opener. Luckily, there is no break in his wrist, but the team is going to be cautious. Kevin Porter Jr. (personal) remains sidelined, so Damyean Dotson and Dean Wade should split up the extra minutes. Neither of them should get enough time to make a significant impact in fantasy leagues.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dylan Windler left Wednesday's game against the Hornets after a mid-air collision with JaVale McGee and will not return. Windler had three points and two steals before leaving. Windler isn't on anyone's fantasy radar right now, but if he misses time, there will be a few more minutes to go around to some players who might be on the edge of fantasy relevance like Dean Wade or Damyean Dotson.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dylan Windler (leg) is ready to participate in 5-on-5 workouts. He was a first round pick by the Cavs in 2019, but didn't play in a single game for the team. Windler suffered a leg injury that resulted in surgery, which cost him the entire season. It sounds like he is making progress and getting ready for next year. However, he'll face an uphill battle for minutes after the emergence of Kevin Porter Jr. towards the end of the regular season. Windler could find some minutes in Cleveland next season, but probably won't play enough to warrant drafting in most formats.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dylan Windler (leg) says that he is around 70 or 80 percent healthy after having surgery in January. Its been a little over three months right now and I think the docs saying maybe a month or a month and a half before Im able to play live basketball again, Windler said. He played well during the Summer League, but he was never able to take the court this season due to his leg injury. Kevin Porter Jr. has been playing well, which means Windler is likely going to be behind him in the rotation. He might work his way into the rotation next season, but it depends on what the Cavs do in the offseason.
