Zeke Nnaji News
Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (thigh) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Clippers. Nnaji has suited up for only two of the last 10 games due to an ongoing issue with tendinitis on his right thigh. Denver only plays Nnaji 9.7 minutes per contest. But his absence opens more bench minutes for players like Peyton Watson, Justin Holiday, DeAndre Jordan, and Julian Strawther. The Nuggets starters will likely play their usual minutes since Nnaji is not a difference-maker in their rotation.

Zeke Nnaji Ruled Out Against Minnesota
Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (thigh) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Nnaji will miss his sixth consecutive game thanks to ongoing issues with tendinitis on his right thigh. Denver only plays Nnaji 9.7 minutes per game, but his absence opens more bench minutes. Peyton Watson, Justin Holiday, DeAndre Jordan, and Julian Strawther have a slightly higher chance at contributing more on the fantasy side without Nnaji. The Nuggets starters will likely play their usual minutes, since Nnaji is not a difference maker in their rotation. There is no official timetable on Nnaji's return to action, but he's expected to return before the season ends.
Mar 29
Zeke Nnaji Won't Play Wednesday
Denver Nuggets center Zeke Nnaji (thigh) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against Memphis. Nnaji is dealing with right adductor tendinosis. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. The 23-year-old has not played since March 17th and has suited up for 53 games this season. With Nnaji unavailable and starting center Nikola Jokic (back/hip) questionable, veteran center DeAndre Jordan could see some more time on the court.
Mar 25
Zeke Nnaji Won't Play Thursday
Denver Nuggets center Zeke Nnaji (back) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to lower back pain. The absence of Nnaji should open up additional minutes behind starting center Nikola Jokic. Head coach Mike Malone mentioned that DeAndre Jordan could absorb more minutes with Nnaji sidelined. Despite the extra playing time, Jordan isn't a viable streaming option for Thursday's slate.
Mar 22
Zeke Nnaji Questionable For Thursday
Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (back) is questionable for Thursday's tilt against the New York Knicks. He's suffering from lower back pain. The 23-year-old rarely sees over 10 minutes in a game, and he is averaging 3.2 points per contest. Nnaji's absence won't impact the Nuggets in any way, and the 2020 first-round draft pick should not be considered a fantasy option when he returns to the team's lineup.
Mar 20
Zeke Nnaji Out Tuesday With Back Pain
Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (back) won't play on Tuesday against Minnesota. He's bothered by lower back pain, and Denver has downgraded the 23-year-old from questionable to out. As he's only a bit-part player who rarely sees over 10 minutes in a game, Nnaji's absence won't impact the Nuggets in any way. He will get his first chance to return on Thursday when the defending champions meet up with the Knicks on home court.
Mar 19
Zeke Nnaji Questionable To Play On Tuesday
Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (back) is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Minnesota. The young big man is bothered by lower back pain and might have to sit in street clothes after playing in each of the last 16 games. Nnaji has seen action regularly, but he doesn't feature a lot in normal circumstances, averaging only 9.8 minutes across the campaign. DeAndre Jordan should fill his spot in the rotation, although there's also a good chance Nuggets head coach Michael Malone runs smaller lineups because the Timberwolves have been hit badly by injuries in the center department.
Mar 19
Nuggets, Zeke Nnaji Agree To Contract Extension
Denver Nuggets forward Zeke Nnaji was entering the final year of his rookie contract this season, which was a team option worth $4.3 million. According to Nuggets Reporter Katy Winge, the team agreed on a multi-year contract extension with the 22-year-old power forward on Sunday. The details of the deal haven't emerged just yet, but they now have Nnaji locked in as the backup power forward and center, and he will likely see a bit more time this year after the Nuggets lost some role players in the offseason. He still isn't on the fantasy radar at this moment, but he has a chance to rise in value if he sees more than 15 minutes per contest.
Oct 23
Zeke Nnaji Questionable To Return
Denver Nuggets center Zeke Nnaji (ankle) is considered questionable to return for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's a shame because Nnaji was playing well before suffering an ankle sprain. The 21-year-old snagged five rebounds in only five minutes of action. Jeff Green and DeAndre Jordan will see increased playing time off the bench, assuming Nnaji doesn't return to this game.

Dalano Banton Expected To Remain On The Roster
Toronto Raptors guard Dalano Banton is expected to have his contract guaranteed and remain on the roster heading into the regular season. The 22-year-old appeared in 64 games for the Raptors last season, averaging 3.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 10.9 minutes per contest. Banton scored nine points and grabbed two steals in Sunday's preseason win over the Utah Jazz and has impressed the coaching staff throughout training camp. As a result, Banton may be a fixture in Toronto's rotation in 2022-23 and could eventually see more work than Malachi Flynn, who is forecasted to serve as Fred VanVleet's backup. With that said, Banton shouldn't draw much interest from redraft managers, although he's someone to watch throughout the year.
