Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Fantasy Stats

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season after undergoing a procedure to correct a finger issue. The veteran wing closes the year averaging 8.4 points, 2.7 assists, and 2.5 rebounds in 21.3 minutes across 51 games. His absence opens steady perimeter minutes in a thin rotation. Cam Spencer logged 22 minutes with nine assists and one steal in a Feb. 11 loss to Denver, while Jahmai Mashack produced nine points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block in the same contest. Walter Clayton Jr. (calf) is another candidate for an expanded run once his injury subsides. Spencer profiles as the safest deep-league assist streamer.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) is going to undergo surgery to address the misalignment of his right pinky finger, and after the surgery, the team should be able to provide a firmer timeline of when he'll be able to return this season, if at all. KCP gets plenty of minutes when healthy, but is not a major fantasy contributor. Without him, there is more time for Jaylen Wells, Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr., and the rest of the Grizzlies younger options in the backcourt and on the wings. The Grizzlies spot in the standings makes it unlikely they push their veterans to return and instead use the rest of the year to evaluate players who could have a role in the future.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) will have surgery on Thursday, the team announced. The veteran must undergo a procedure to correct misalignment of his right pinky finger. Memphis will provide a timeline for Caldwell-Pope's recovery after surgery. Caldwell-Pope has had a disappointing campaign in 2025-26, averaging 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. After beginning the year as a regular starter, he has been part of the first unit just once since Nov. 12. Players like Scotty Pippen Jr. and Olivier-Maxence Prosper may see more time on the floor during Caldwell-Pope's absence.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (jaw) exited Friday's loss to Oklahoma City in the second quarter and did not return, finishing with two points, one rebound, one assist, and one steal in 10 minutes. His availability for Sunday against Brooklyn is uncertain. If Caldwell-Pope misses time, Vince Williams Jr. and GG Jackson II stand to see increased wing minutes. Williams recently logged 13 points, three rebounds, and five assists in 23 minutes, while Jackson offers scoring upside but remains inconsistent, making both situational fantasy streamers.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) won't play on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's loss to the Washington Wizards, leaving the contest in the second quarter. You can't consider yourself a real Grizzlies player if you aren't hurt at one point during the season, and Caldwell-Pope will miss his first game of the campaign. The trio of Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, and GG Jackson II will probably absorb most of the 22 minutes per game Caldwell-Pope leaves behind.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) has been listed as questionable for their Friday night matchup with the Miami Heat. In their opening night win, Caldwell-Pope received the most minutes in the starting five and registered 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, and three turnovers while shooting 2-for-8 from the floor, 2-for-7 from deep, and 9-for-9 from the free throw line. If the 13-year vet can't suit up for this one, his minutes will likely be distributed over a wide variety of bench players. Nine players received 15 or more minutes in the first game, but fantasy managers could look to Santi Aldama to likely receive the biggest bump in opportunities.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Orlando Magic are trading guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of the deal for guard Desmond Bane. The Grizzlies will also receive guard Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks, and a first-round pick swap. The 32-year-old has bounced around the league since entering it in 2013, suiting up for the Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers, and Washington Wizards. However, his stock rose after he helped the Denver Nuggets win a championship in 2023. KCP would go on to sign with the Magic last offseason. Unfortunately, he wasn't as productive, averaging 8.7 points. He also shot 34.2% from behind the arc, a significant decline from his final season in Denver. With that in mind, Caldwell-Pope could get more scoring opportunities in Memphis. His durability is also a plus for fantasy managers. Still, he isn't a consistent fantasy producer, although he'll likely have some solid showings throughout the 2025-26 campaign, regardless of his role.

Orlando Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will play on Sunday against the Hawks. KCP didn't suit up on Friday night versus the Indiana Pacers. However, he'll be out there for the regular-season finale. It's tough to say how much action Caldwell-Pope will get, considering the Magic are locked into the Play-In. Still, his availability should lower the ceiling of Gary Harris, who had 10 points as a starter on Friday.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) will take off Friday night and won't be in the lineup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran is being rested for the second leg of a back-to-back. Tristan da Silva is set to start Friday's game in Caldwell-Pope's place. The starting role will boost da Silva's fantasy value, although his numbers have only slightly increased when he has been part of the starting group this season. In 35 starts, the 23-year-old rookie has averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists.

Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. There was some uncertainty if Caldwell-Pope would suit up for both games of the back-to-back set. It appears that the veteran guard is feeling good enough to play after playing 22 minutes on Wednesday. The expectation is that Caldwell-Pope will have his normal role in the rotation, but he's really only offering low-end value right now.
