According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, free-agent guard Jordan Goodwin agreed to a training camp deal with the Lakers. Goodwin began the 2023-24 campaign with the Suns before landing with the Grizzlies. He was decent for Memphis, averaging 10.0 points and 4.5 assists. With Los Angeles thin at the point guard spot, the 25-year-old has a legitimate chance of making the team. However, Goodwin won't be relevant for fantasy managers unless he gets playing time. Even then, his upside is limited.
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Jordan Goodwin (Achilles) is stepping out of the lineup on Sunday versus the Thunder. He was already doubtful for the contest, and the team has now officially ruled him out due to left Achilles soreness. Goodwin has been a starter for all of his last five appearances with the Grizzlies. On Sunday, the team will have a new-look starting five, with Luke Kennard, GG Jackson II, and LaRavia joining Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson Jr. Goodwill will get his first chance to return on Tuesday versus Washington, although the doubtful designation is a sign that he might not be close to being game-ready.
Phoenix Suns point guard Jordan Goodwin (hamstring) is considered probable for Thursday's preseason game versus Portland. The 24-year-old hasn't yet played in preseason due to right hamstring tightness. However, he was able to get a full practice in on Wednesday and looks set to play his first game with the Suns Thursday. Goodwin, who is entering his third year in the league, is battling for backup minutes and should be looking to impress head coach Frank Vogel in preseason.
Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin (knee) won't suit up for Monday's Summer League matchup against the Miami Heat. Goodwin was acquired in part of the Bradley Beal trade earlier this offseason. The 24-year-old was a decent rotational option for the Washington Wizards last season. He averaged 6.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 62 games. He has a shot at earning backup minutes in the Suns rotation. Goodwin could end up with deep league fantasy value, assuming he gets consistent minutes in the rotation. He'll need to get healthy and prove himself during camp.
Washington Wizards guard Jordan Goodwin appears to be part of the blockbuster trade that is sending Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns. In return, the Wizards land Chris Paul, Landry Shamet and multiple second-round picks. It looks like the Wizards are including Isaiah Todd and Goodwin as throw-ins to the trade. Todd, the 31st pick in the 2021 draft has spent a majority of his two seasons playing for the Wizards' G-League affiliate. Goodwin averaged 6.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 62 games with the Wizards last season. The 24-year-old could be a helpful contributor off the bench, but probably won't end up being anything more than that in Phoenix.
Washington Wizards guard Jordan Goodwin had his two-way contract officially converted to a standard NBA contract after proving that he can help out in the backcourt rotation. The 24-year-old had a good stretch of four games when the Wizards were struggling with a lot of injuries to their backcourt and he's been able to provide some quality minutes off of the bench as well. As of right now, Goodwin averages 6.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.0 steals in 18.1 minutes per game. He's not going to be viable in most fantasy leagues, but could be worth a look in deeper dynasty leagues.
The timetable for Washington Wizards guard Jordan Goodwin's (knee) return is still in the balance. Goodwin suffered a knee injury during the Wednesday night loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, the actual damage to his knee has yet to be reported. Head coach Wes Unseld Jr. relayed to the media that the team doesn't know either, as Goodwin is undergoing testing on his knee. While Goodwin isn't a fantasy darling, the rookie guard has posted positive production during the Wizards' surprisingly successful start to the season. To date, Goodwin has shot 53 percent from deep. Although only attempting 15 shots from the perimeter, Goodwin's accuracy in limited minutes means something for fantasy managers on the lookout for sleepers in deep leagues. On the brighter side, Monte Morris' fantasy managers won't have to worry about his minutes dropping. The Wizards starting point guard currently doesn't have a lot of competition for his spot in the rotation.
