Mike Muscala News
Detroit Pistons center Mike Muscala (head) moved into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran big man was tasked with starting at center with Isaiah Stewart (ankle) unable to go. Sadly, Muscala didn't last too long as he exited in the first quarter after colliding with Evan Mobley. The team is calling it a head injury and it's uncertain at the moment if Muscala suffered a concussion. He'll be held out of the rest of Wednesday's game as a precaution. Kevin Knox II and Ausar Thompson will see increased playing time with Muscala sidelined. Thompson is the much better fantasy option between the two players.
Center Mike Muscala was traded to the Washington Wizards on Wednesday by the Boston Celtics in a three-team deal. He'll be packing his bags for a second time in mere months after being a trade deadline acquisition from Oklahoma City. Muscala suited up in 20 games for the Celtics, averaging 5.9 points and 3.4 rebounds, which are around his career average numbers. As it currently stands, Muscala is set to be the backup center to Daniel Gafford, and he likely won't be getting enough minutes to be fantasy-relevant.
Center Mike Muscala will be returning to the Oklahoma City Thunder for the 2022-23 season, the team announced Thursday. Muscala had his team option declined back in June, but the two sides were able to come to a new agreement. The 31-year-old will be entering his fourth season with the Thunder, having previously averaged 7.3 points and three rebounds per outing across 125 contests. Known for his sharpshooting ability from the frontcourt, Muscala has knocked down an average of 1.5 threes per game, all while shooting at a 39.2 percent clip from deep during his Oklahoma City tenure. Minutes will likely not be plentiful for the veteran, but he will be a name to eye if injuries slow the Thunder big men.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Mike Muscala (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Bulls. The veteran is currently dealing with right ankle soreness, an ailment that forced him to miss his previous four games. He's expected to be out beyond the All-Star break, and with Derrick Favors resting against Chicago, Isaiah Roby and Aleksej Pokusevski should benefit. However, the latter should be the preferred option for fantasy purposes.
