Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (thumb) is available to play in Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. After missing the start of the season while recovering from thumb surgery, Brogdon is ready to return to action. The 31-year-old veteran is expected to compete for a role off the bench in the Wizards' backcourt. Brogdon's 2023-24 season was limited to just 39 games with Portland, and he has struggled with injuries over the past few seasons. His role and fit with the Wizards will be something to watch as the season progresses.
Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (thumb) underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb. He will be re-evaluated in four to six weeks. The 31-year-old was traded to Washington during the offseason after averaging 15.7 points, 5.5 assists, and 41.2% shooting from deep with the Blazers in 2023-24. Unfortunately, he was limited to only 39 games. Without question, Brogdon is a force whenever he's on the floor. However, his injury woes over the years make him a risky fantasy option. That won't change until he proves he can stay healthy.
Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (hand) suffered an injury on his shooting hand during Saturday's practice. Wizards' head coach Brian Keefe says that Brogdon is headed back to D.C. to get testing done on his hand. That being said, Brogdon won't be available for Sunday's preseason matchup against the Toronto Raptors. The team is likely going to be cautious with the oft-injured guard, so it wouldn't be shocking for him to miss some time. Hopefully this is a minor issue as Brogdon was expected to take on a significant role in the Wizards rotation this upcoming season.
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. Brogdon has done well with the Trail Blazers, averaging 15.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 5.5 assists in 28.7 minutes.

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.
