Montrezl Harrell News
Upcoming free-agent center Montrezl Harrell is facing up to five years in prison after being arrested on a felony drug charge. In May, the 28-year-old was pulled over by Kentucky State police for following a vehicle too closely. During the stop, officers allegedly smelled marijuana, prompting a search of his car and revealing three pounds of marijuana stuffed inside a backpack. Harrell began the 2021-22 campaign with the Wizards before he was moved to the Hornets ahead of the deadline, where he averaged 11.4 points, 4.9 boards, and 2.0 assists throughout 25 games in Charlotte. However, with time behind bars and a league suspension potentially on the horizon, it's unlikely any team will sign him this summer, which obviously wouldn't work out in his favor from a fantasy standpoint.
Center Montrezl Harrell has reportedly been dealt to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for center Vernon Carey Jr. and point guard Ish Smith. Harrell averaged 14.1 points and 6.7 rebounds across just 24.3 minutes in 46 games for the Wizards during his first season with the franchise. But with the return of Thomas Bryant, Washington's frontcourt had begun to get crowded, paving the way for Harrell to join a Hornets group that could use his activity among the second unit. It remains to be seen how Harrell's arrival impacts the season-long viability of Mason Plumlee and P.J. Washington, but with the team currently down Gordon Hayward (ankle) and Jalen McDaniels (ankle), there should be ample minutes to go around.
Washington Wizards center Montrezl Harrell has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. He has cleared the league's health and safety protocols. Although, he wasn't able to get to Orlando in time for the contest. The expectation is that Harrell will be available for the Wizards next game on Tuesday. In the meantime, Rui Hachimura and Davis Bertans (foot) will see additional playing time. Neither have much fantasy value and can likely be ignored here.
Washington Wizards center Montrezl Harrell and power forward Rui Hachimura have been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling them out indefinitely. The absence for Harrell on Tuesday against the Heat will be his first of the season, while Hachimura remains in search of his first game action in 2021-22. Harrell has scored in double figures in each of his last five outings, while also being on pace to set a new career high with 7.3 boards per game. Down two key contributors in the frontcourt, Washington is likely to rely heavily upon Daniel Gafford at the five, which elevates his DFS value for the time being.
