Shake Milton Fantasy Stats

The Brooklyn Nets have traded guard Shake Milton and forward Dorian Finney-Smith to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. In exchange, the Nets will receive guard D'Angelo Russell, forward Maxwell Lewis, and three second round picks. This was a good time to trade Milton after back-to-back solid performances. The 28-year-old probably won't be anything more than depth on this Lakers roster. He'll be forced to compete for playing time with Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht. This move to the Lakers probably doesn't do much for his fantasy value.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Shake Milton (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Milton popped up on the injury report with left foot soreness, creating some doubt regarding his availability for Monday's interconference tilt. The 27-year-old combo guard has been a member of head coach Chris Finch's rotation for 38 combined minutes over the season's first two contests, likely due to Jaden McDaniels' (calf) absence, but he has only scored six points across this stretch. Mike Conley could handle additional run in the starting unit if Milton is sidelined, while Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely see extra minutes in this case.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Shake Milton is heading into his first season with the team and he's already stepping into more opportunities in training camp. The team wants him to shoot more threes than he did with the 76ers and he flashed his range over the first few days already. He attempted 1.9 per game last season which was down from his career-high of 3.4 in his second season. The 27-year-old took a step back minutes-wise last year and it remains to be seen if he'll see upwards of 20 minutes per contest. His main competition will be Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, but if he can find his way on the floor more often, he could be a good three-point asset in category formats.

According to NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Shake Milton is signing a contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. It will be a two-year, $10 million deal. Milton desired more minutes and a more prominent role in free agency, and now he will get that opportunity in Minnesota. The 26-year-old guard has been a productive player in the last few seasons for Philadelphia, even in his limited role. He averaged 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 76 games for the Sixers last season. The Timberwolves severely lacked depth last year, so Milton could immediately come in and produce.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton is not likely to re-sign with the team at this time. Kyle Neubeck of the Philly Voice suggests this could happen "as the veteran guard looks for a potential opportunity for more minutes". The 26-year-old made a few spot starts here and there for the injured James Harden and Tyrese Maxey last season, but was mostly glued to the bench otherwise. The combo guard has scored 9.4 points, 2.7 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game across 20.8 minutes per night over 254 contests in his Philadelphia career. Milton would likely only become a priority for the 76ers if Harden ends up walking this offseason.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton had a great time in his first start of the campaign Saturday, posting 27 points on 10-for-15 shooting in a 112-109 loss to Minnesota. He hit three times from deep with five attempts and added six rebounds and two assists to his line in 38 minutes. It was a very good performance from the 26-year-old, although Milton blemished his line a bit with six turnovers. With the Sixers having suffered a number of injuries, Danuel House Jr. and De'Anthony Melton have also started to run with the starters. The former hasn't made much use of the extended minutes, but Melton put together a 19-5-6 line Saturday and even had five steals and one block. Philly's new starting backcourt should draw plenty of attention from fantasy managers until the team gets back healthy again.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton had his team option exercised by the organization on Tuesday. He'll return to the team as a key role player, but his fantasy value will be minimal. The Sixers have Joel Embiid, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, and Tobias Harris as their main contributors. It's tough for anyone else to have reliable fantasy value outside of those four players. Milton is a nice insurance piece, but missed a ton of games due to injury last season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Milton to bring much to the table unless the team loses a few players due to injury.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton is expected to have his $2 million team option exercised. The 25-year-old averaged just 8.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 2021-22. However, throughout six starts last season, he averaged 16.0 points. Nonetheless, while Milton probably won't see much interest during drafts ahead of the 2022 campaign, he'll likely have some value as a periodic streaming alternative for fantasy managers in all formats.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Shake Milton (back) has been given the green light to get back into action for Friday's game against Oklahoma City after missing 18 games due to a back ailment. Milton's return comes at a critical juncture for Philly, who sent Seth Curry to the Nets in the package that landed James Harden. Due to his layoff, Milton is likely facing a capped minutes total vs. the Thunder, even with his role among the second unit likely safe moving forward. At 10.5 points and 2.8 assists per contest, Milton is on the fringe of season-long viability in most formats for the time being.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Shake Milton (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Orlando due to a back contusion. Milton struggled over his two most recent outings, having missed four games under the league's health and safety protocols around the Christmas holiday. With Tyrese Maxey (health and safety protocols) also down, Furkan Korkmaz and Seth Curry stand to see the vast majority of ball-handling duties, while Joel Embiid also possesses upside as a passer, evidenced by his triple-double Monday. When healthy, Milton has been a streaky offensive-minded contributor off the bench. His next chance to suit up comes Friday vs. the Spurs.
