Toronto Raptors forward Juancho Hernangomez (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. The 27-year-old will sit out after spraining his ankle during Saturday's contest. The hope is that this will only be a one-game absence for Hernangomez. In the meantime, Thaddeus Young should see additional playing time. However, he's not a great streaming option with a majority of this roster healthy.
Toronto Raptors forward/center Juancho Hernangomez sprained his right ankle in Saturday's battle with the Magic and had to exit the game after logging only five minutes. Fortunately, his x-rays came back negative and it's possible that Hernangomez will be game-ready Monday versus Boston. The team officially regards him as day-to-day. Hernangomez broke into the rotation last month, and he has been a decent bench contributor for the team, averaging 4.4 points and 4.1 rebounds. If Hernangomez can't recover in time for Monday's game, Chris Boucher and Thaddeus Young are in line to log a few more minutes.
Juancho Hernangomez Drops 27 Points In EuroBasket Finals
Toronto Raptors power forward Juancho Hernangomez led all scorers with a 27-point outing for Spain in Sunday's Gold Medal Game of EuroBasket against France. Hernangomez claimed gold alongside his brother, Willy, who was named MVP of the tournament. Juancho is entering his first year with Toronto, having played sparingly en route to averaging 3.3 PPG for Boston, San Antonio and Utah last season. The 26-year-old is not immediately expected to factor into the Raptors' frontcourt plans, but his strong summer performance is indicative of his ability to score when given enough minutes.
The Toronto Raptors have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with forward Juancho Hernangomez. He was recently waived by the Utah Jazz, but it didn't take long for Hernangomez to find a new home. The Raptors have quite a few long wings, but Hernangomez should still get into the mix. It's highly unlikely that Hernangomez has fantasy value as long as the Raptors can stay relatively healthy. He recently became popular because of his appearance in the recent film Hustle. Hernangomez put on some impressive moves in the movie, but it's hard to imagine him making much of an impact on a real NBA court.
Boston Celtics forward Juancho Hernangomez has entered the league's COVID-19 safety protocols and is out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. That being said, Robert Williams III and Enes Freedom are going to see heavy minutes in this game. Both Al Horford and Grant Williams are out as well due to the protocols. The Celtics will need to lean on Williams and Freedom to carry them here. Both are worth looking at as streaming options or DFS choices for Friday's slate.
Juan Hernangomez Likely To Miss Beginning Of The Season
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Juan Hernangomez (shoulder) suffered an injury while training with the Spanish national team on Thursday. At first glance, the Wolves thought it was a minor injury, but sadly they were wrong. It was announced that Hernangomez suffered a grade 4/5 left shoulder dislocation. An injury that often times requires surgery that sidelines a player roughly six months. There is a good chance that Hernangomez misses the beginning of the NBA season, assuming he decides to have surgery. This won't change much in fantasy drafts since Hernangomez averaged 7.2 points last season. The hope is that Hernangomez can beat his timetable and won't miss much of the 2021-2022 season.
Minnesota Timberwolves small/power forward Juan Hernangomez (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest versus Orlando due to swelling in his knee. The nature of the injury certainly doesn't portend to a brief absence, which comes at a difficult time after Hernangomez had reeled off double-digit shot attempts in each of his last three games. Jake Layman and Jarred Vanderbilt stand to see an uptick in minutes without Hernangomez in the mix, but how his shots will be distributed remains less clear. His next opportunity to take the floor comes Tuesday against the Pistons.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Juan Hernangomez is unlikely to play in Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Head coach Ryan Saunders mentioned he doubts Hernangomez would play after sitting out on Monday. It seems that Hernangomez has fallen out of the rotation in Minnesota. It wouldn't be shocking if the team decides to trade him soon. Jarred Vanderbilt has picked up his minutes and played well over the last few weeks. He should be on the fantasy radar in deep leagues going forward.
Minnesota Lists Juan Hernangomez As Questionable Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Juan Hernangomez has been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's contest versus the Spurs as he gets back into game shape after passing the league's health and safety protocols. Hernangomez has missed Minnesota's past nine games, having started each of the last six outings that he appeared in, averaging 10 points and seven rebounds on a nightly basis in that span. It's unclear what role Hernangomez could have upon his return, but Jarred Vanderbilt would stand to see decreased fantasy appeal whenever Hernangomez is officially back in the mix.
Ricky Rubio, Juan Hernangomez Ruled Out For Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio and power forward Juan Hernangomezhave been ruled out for Friday's contest versus the Grizzlies due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. Hernangomez has been announced to be unavailable for the next 10 days, meaning that he'll miss at least five contests before getting back into action. Without Rubio among the second unit for the time being, Jordan McLaughlin figures to step into a larger role, albeit not one worthy of season-long consideration at this stage. The next chance that Rubio could return comes Monday against Atlanta, but the league has been stringent in its contact-tracing procedures, making his true return date uncertain.
