Jock Landale Fantasy Stats

Houston Rockets center Jock Landale has been waived by the organization on Thursday. Landale has been released ahead of his July 7 guaranteed contract. Now, Landale can sign with whoever he wants once he clears waivers. This comes as no shock after the Rockets signed Clint Capela earlier this week. There is no room for Landale with Capela and Steven Adams serving as the backup centers. Last season, Landale averaged 4.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 0.9 assists across 11.9 minutes per game in 42 contests with the Rockets. The 29-year-old should be able to find a new home, but probably won't have reliable fantasy value anywhere he goes.

Houston Rockets center Jock Landale (knee) will remain absent on Saturday against the Golden State Warriors. He was seen going through drills and moving well during Friday's practice, but the team has ruled him out for a third consecutive contest. Landale's next opportunity to return will be on Monday night. However, even if he is back in the lineup, Landale is not expected to have a significant role in the rotation with Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams healthy.

Houston Rockets center Jock Landale (knee) will not be in the lineup on Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. He also missed Game 1 of the matchup on Sunday due to a right knee contusion. Houston frequently employed a two-center lineup during the series opener, meaning Landale could be a valuable addition to the rotation. However, even when healthy, the Australian big man has had a limited impact this season, averaging 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in 11.9 minutes. Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams are set for another busy night on Wednesday. Sengun led the Rockets in scoring on Sunday with 26 points, while Adams grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds.

Houston Rockets center Jock Landale (illness) will be inactive against the New York Knicks on Monday. He is forced to miss the game due to an illness. The Rockets are also missing Alperen Sengun (calf), leaving Steven Adams as their only traditional big man. However, the team has opted to go small for the matchup, with Tari Eason and Jae'Sean Tate stepping in for Sengun and Fred VanVleet (ankle) in the starting lineup.

Houston Rockets center Jock Landale (wrist) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Landale has been cleared to suit up after not playing in the last three games. Landale appears healthy, but he isn't a lock to crack the rotation right now. Alperen Sengun plays a bulk of the minutes with Jabari Smith Jr. being in the mix as well. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore Landale for the moment.

Houston Rockets center Jock Landale (concussion) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This is a tough break for the Rockets, but hopefully Landale will only be forced to miss one game. Starting center Alperen Sengun is expected to play a bigger role with Landale unavailable. The Rockets might opt to play small-ball with Boban Marjanovic as the only other big man on this team. Jabari Smith Jr. is likely to have an increased role with Landale out for this game.

Houston Rockets general manager Rafael Stone announced that center Jock Landale (ankle) should be fully healthy by training camp in late September. The 27-year-old suffered a "major" left ankle injury with Australia during the FIBA World Cup last month, but he seems to have recovered very well over the past several weeks. Landale reached a four-year, $32 million deal with the Rockets this offseason after averaging 6.6 points on 52.8% shooting, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 14.2 minutes over 69 games with the Phoenix Suns last year. The big man is set to come off Houston's bench to spell Alperen Sengun this season, so he's likely off the fantasy radar unless Sengun ever were to miss time.

Houston Rockets center Jock Landale (ankle) suffered a left ankle injury during Australia's warmups before their exhibition game against South Sudan. According to ESPN's Olgun Uluc, the injury didn't look great and the big man was headed to get an MRI. The full severity of the injury is yet to be known, but the fact that Team Australia is assuming they won't have him isn't the best sign. Landale signed with Houston in free agency and was set to be the primary backup to Alperen Sengun and his fantasy value is currently a question mark.

The Phoenix Suns had extended a qualifying offer to center Jock Landale on Wednesday, but have decided to relinquish that offer. The 27-year-old was expected to hit the open market as a restricted free agent, but that won't be the case anymore. Now, Landale will be an unrestricted free agent, so the Suns won't be able to stop him from leaving. It appears the Suns will let Landale walk in order to save some cap space. Landale was decent during the regular season and put together some quality games during the postseason. That being said, he should be able to find a new home, but it's unknown if he'll have fantasy value. It will be dependent on where he goes and what kind of role he has with that organization.

Phoenix Suns center Jock Landale (concussion) is available to play Friday against Memphis. He has missed a couple of games this week after landing in the concussion protocol. The Australian big man has put in a couple of impressive performances this month, including his first double-double effort of the campaign. However, Landale is a fantasy option in only the deepest leagues, with other bigs in Phoenix not getting a lot of joy with a healthy Deandre Ayton in the lineup.
