Isaiah Stewart Fantasy Stats

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Isaiah Stewart (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder with a right knee bone bruise. Stewart suffered the injury in Wednesday's loss to Indiana and finished with six points and one rebound in 10 minutes before exiting. Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said Stewart appeared to have avoided a major injury, though he is still undergoing further evaluation. The 25-year-old is averaging 11.9 points on 66.7% shooting in 18.3 minutes this season. Quinten Post should see more time behind Zach Edey while Stewart is sidelined. His next chance to return comes Monday at Toronto.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz after carrying a questionable tag due to left ankle injury management. The 25-year-old started Sunday with Zach Edey resting and filled the box score with 13 points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks in 22 minutes. Edey is back for Monday's matchup, which should send Stewart back to the bench. His shot-blocking and ability to stretch the floor remain useful, but his fantasy ceiling is much lower when Memphis has its full center rotation available.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors, according to The Commercial Appeal's Damichael Cole. Stewart has been sidelined since suffering a moderate left ankle sprain in Memphis' Oct. 5 preseason opener in Atlanta. The 25-year-old averaged 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 22.7 minutes across 58 games for Detroit last season before joining Memphis in an offseason trade. With Zach Edey, Cameron Boozer, and Quinten Post also competing for frontcourt minutes, Stewart may be eased back initially, but his shot-blocking gives him some fantasy appeal once his workload grows.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) will miss Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Utah Jazz. Stewart continues to deal with an ankle injury and will have to wait to make his regular-season debut with his new team. His next chance to suit up comes Friday against the Golden State Warriors. The 25-year-old was acquired from Detroit during the offseason after averaging 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks last season while finishing seventh in Sixth Man of the Year voting. With Stewart sidelined, Taylor Hendricks and Quinten Post could see additional frontcourt minutes, potentially providing a short-term boost to their fantasy value.

The Memphis Grizzlies announced Friday that forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) suffered a left ankle sprain during the team's preseason opener and is likely to miss Opening Night. Stewart was acquired from Detroit during the offseason after averaging 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks last season while finishing seventh in Sixth Man of the Year voting. With the 25-year-old sidelined, Zach Edey and Quinten Post could see increased minutes in Memphis' frontcourt, potentially boosting their fantasy value early in the regular season.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Isaiah Stewart is embracing his move from Detroit, telling Andscape's Marc J. Spears that he is happy to be "moving on to a new chapter." Stewart was traded to Memphis during the second round of the NBA Draft after six seasons with the Pistons, and he said he feels wanted by the organization. The 25-year-old averaged 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks last season while finishing seventh in Sixth Man of the Year voting. In Memphis, he should bring frontcourt toughness behind Zach Edey in a young, reworked big-man rotation. The blocks give Stewart narrow fantasy appeal, but he likely needs a bigger role to become more than a specialist.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. Stewart will make his way to Memphis in exchange for three future second-round picks. There has been speculation for weeks that Stewart could be moved as part of a cost-cutting decision. The expectation is that Paul Reed will slide into his role behind primary center Jalen Duren. The Pistons could potentially add another forward or center on a cheaper deal in free agency. As for Stewart, he should play significant minutes off the bench as the backup to Zach Edey. This past season, Stewart averaged 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks across 22.7 minutes per game in 58 contests with the Pistons last season. The assumption is that his value should increase with the move to Memphis.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart is available in trade talks, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic. The report notes that Detroit is searching for more shooting and playmaking, and Paul Reed could see a larger role if Stewart is moved. Stewart has two years and $30 million left on his deal, with the second season carrying a team option. The 25-year-old averaged 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.1 assists last season, while Reed posted 7.8 points and 4.5 boards in a smaller role. A move could help Stewart if he lands with a team that needs frontcourt defense, while Reed would be the immediate fantasy name to monitor in Detroit.

Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart could be an interesting trade target for teams this summer. Stewart is one of the best rim protectors in the league and is on a reasonable contract for the next two seasons. Last season, Stewart averaged career highs in blocks (1.6) while averaging 10.0 points and 5.0 rebounds across 22.7 minutes per game. The Pistons don't have a ton of incentive to trade him, especially with Jalen Duren possibly leaving in free agency. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Pistons feel out some trade offers, but they probably won't move Stewart unless they get blown away.

Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart (calf) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Stewart is finally back after missing the last 13 games due to a calf injury. The expectation is that Stewart will be eased back into the rotation with only three games left in the regular season. The Pistons aren't going to push him too hard with the playoffs on the horizon. With that being said, Stewart is unlikely to be a favorable DFS option with limited playing time. Ron Holland II and Javonte Green could see reduced roles with Stewart back in the mix.
