Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon might not remain on the team for long. After he was acquired from the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported that Brogdon could be moved elsewhere in a trade. Washington has fully entered a rebuilding mode, and it doesn't make sense for them to keep ahold of a 31-year-old veteran. Especially someone like Brogdon, who should have decent trade value as a recent Sixth Man of the Year award winner. The Virginia product seems to be on the move every summer these days. But he could still be useful to several teams with career averages of 15.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.7 assists.
The Washington Wizards acquired guard Malcolm Brogdon from the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night in exchange for forward Deni Avdija. The 2023 NBA Sixth Man of the Year averaged 15.7 points, 5.5 assists, and 3.8 rebounds with the Trail Blazers last season. He also shot 41.2% from behind the arc. However, due to injury, Brogdon was limited to only 39 games in Portland. Nagging ailments have been the norm for him throughout his career. Although the 31-year-old can play at an All-Star level, fantasy managers will look in other directions until he proves he can stay healthy.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) has been ruled out for the Monday night game against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran point guard has been making progress and ramping up to more work at practice each day, but he still doesn't have a timetable to return. At this rate, the team won't be rushing him back to play in games that won't matter at the end of the day. While he remains on the sidelines, Dalano Banton and Scoot Henderson should keep seeing added opportunities in the backcourt alongside Anfernee Simons. Banton may have the best value as a streaming option since he joined the starting five instead of Henderson.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) will be unavailable for a 16th straight game on Wednesday versus Atlanta. Brogdon is making progress in his recovery from a right elbow injury but remains without a return date. Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson will continue to rock as Portland's starting backcourt, with Dalano Banton filling a big role off the bench. Wednesday's matchup will be a good one for the Portland players, as it's a pace-up spot for the team and a meeting with a poor defense. Only Washington (123.7) gives up more points per game than Atlanta (121.5).
Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) has been ruled out for a 15th consecutive game due to elbow tendinitis. Head coach Chauncey Billups said that Brogdon was progressing a bit, but there was still discomfort and pain in his elbow. There's no need to rush him back to the court since the Blazers are only a couple of games away from getting eliminated from playoff contention. Scoot Henderson will continue to see starter's minutes while Anfernee Simons and Dalano Banton also get plenty of opportunities in the backcourt. Henderson and Banton could be streaming options in deeper leagues since Simons is already rostered in most leagues.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) was re-evaluated on Monday and is making good progress in his recovery, the team has announced. The Trail Blazers added that Brogdon will continue to "ramp up with an anticipated return to action." Officially, the 31-year-old remains without a timetable for his return, but it looks like Brogdon is getting close to being available again. He last played on Feb. 2.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) will be forced to sit out some time, with the team announcing that he will be re-evaluated in two weeks. He has missed a pair of games with a knee issue and an illness lately, but Brogdon is now dealing with tendinitis in his right elbow. With the injury bug having taken out a number of backcourt players, Ashton Hagans has seen quite a bit of action after inking a 10-day contract, while Dalano Banton and Matisse Thybulle also benefit.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This marks the second game in a row that Brogdon has been forced to sit out due to an illness. His absence should mean that Matisse Thybulle will remain in the starting five. He's not a reliable scoring option, but he does enough defensively to make him worth a look in fantasy formats. Ashton Hagans figures to play a bigger role as well with the Blazers banged up.
The Portland Trail Blazers aren't including guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) on their injury report for Thursday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. A right knee contusion cost Brogdon Sunday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, but he's got the green light to return on Thursday. Somewhat surprisingly staying put in Portland in the aftermath of Thursday's trade deadline, Brogdon is in an advantageous position against a Pistons squad that ranks 27th in opponent points per game (122.3) this year. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year is averaging 19.0 points, 6.8 dimes, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.0 triples in 35.4 minutes while shooting 91.7% from the foul line through his prior nine games, and although it's possible the Blazers were showcasing the 31-year-old veteran ahead of the deadline in an attempt to move him, Brogdon belongs in all season-long fantasy lineups in this spot.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This news comes after Brogdon was tagged as questionable coming into this game due to a right knee contusion. Jerami Grant (back) will join him on the sideline which will leave the Blazers shorthanded. Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray will shift into the starting five to help fill the void. Although, Scoot Henderson and Toumani Camara might be the better streaming choices even with them coming off the bench.
