Malachi Flynn News
Detroit Pistons guard Malachi Flynn came out of nowhere to put up 50 points in Wednesday's 121-113 loss to Atlanta. He logged 34 minutes off the bench and became the 10th player in the NBA this season with a 50-point game by shooting 18-for-25 from the field with a 5-for-9 effort from outside. Flynn's career night included six rebounds, five assists, and three steals. This was a very special outing for Flynn, who is now the third player in NBA history to reach the 50-point plateau without starting the game. He received extra usage on the backcourt after Cade Cunningham (knee) was a late scratch on Wednesday. We could see a lot more of Flynn over the final few games of the regular season, especially with Detroit now heading into a back-to-back situation and Cunningham unlikely to play in both games.
New York Knicks guard Malachi Flynn (ankle) has been dealing with an ankle sprain since his last game in Toronto on December 29. After being part of the trade that sent OG Anunoby to the Knicks, Flynn has yet to play, so his role on his new team is unclear at the moment. Flynn was only getting 15.3 minutes per contest on a rebuilding Raptors team, so it doesn't seem likely that he would get a bigger role. He also hasn't been on the fantasy radar as he's posted 5.1 points, 2.4 assists, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.1 turnovers per game while shooting 40.9% from the floor. If he's upgraded to active, fantasy managers should hold off on adding him to any lineups until we find out his role and how many minutes he's going to get.
New York Knicks point guard Malachi Flynn (ankle) won't make his team debut on Monday versus Minnesota. He's on the injury report with a right ankle sprain. Flynn will provide some point guard depth behind Jalen Brunson in New York, but he isn't expected to play a large role. Meanwhile, OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa, who also came over in the trade with Toronto last week, aren't on the injury report, which suggests that they are available to make their Knicks debuts against the Timberwolves.
Toronto Raptors guard Malachi Flynn (cheek) underwent a procedure to repair a cheekbone fracture he suffered during Sunday's game against the Jazz. The 24-year-old averaged only 4.3 points, 1.6 assists, and 1.4 rebounds last season. However, he is expected to see routine minutes in 2022-23 behind Fred VanVleet, so his statistical contributions should increase. Still, he shouldn't draw much interest from managers heading into the 2022-23 campaign, and his career 32.6% shooting from deep will hurt his value in category formats. With that said, Flynn should be ready to start the year. However, Dalano Banton will see an expanded role if he isn't.
