Tue Dec 23 201418:40Turiaf (hip) waived by 76ers on Tuesday
Turiaf (hip) was waived by the 76ers on Tuesday, the Bucks County Courier Times' Tom Moore reports.
He was slated to miss the rest of the season with a hip injury, so this is not very relevant for fantasy purposes. The Sixers signed Malcolm Thomas to take Turiaf's roster spot.
Fri Dec 19 201419:10Turiaf (hip) traded to Sixers on Friday
Turiaf (hip) was traded to the Sixers on Friday, along with a second-round pick, in exchange for guard Alexey Shved, FOX 26 Houston reports.
It's been a hectic couple of days for Turiaf, as he underwent season-ending surgery Tuesday and was then traded not once, but twice, Friday. The Timberwolves sent Turiaf and Corey Brewer to the Rockets for Troy Daniels and two second-round picks, and the Rockets then flipped Turiaf to Philadelphia. The 31-year-old played in just two games this season with Minnesota, recording no points, one rebound and two assists in 20 total minutes.

Turiaf (hip) was traded to the Rockets on Friday, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Turiaf was moved as part of a deal that sent he and Corey Brewer to the Rockets in exchange for Troy Daniels and two second-round picks. He is out for the season, but there are reports indicating he may be moved to a third team. Regardless, he won't be putting up any minutes this season for the team he ends up with.

Turiaf (hip) underwent successful surgery Tuesday and will miss the remainder of the season, Jerry Zgoda of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
With Turiaf ruled out for the rest of 2014-15, the Wolves are likely to waive him at some point in hopes of adding another productive player. Turiaf's $1.6 million deal expires after this season, and coach Flip Saunders said Tuesday that the team would waive him "if there's the right person available." One option could be signing Jeff Adrien for the rest of the season. Adrien is currently on a 10-day contract that expires Friday. Another option suggested in a Star Tribune report is former Baylor standout Brady Heslip, who is lighting up the D-League with elite, volume three-point shooting. While the Wolves would likely prefer a guard with a better defensive reputation, the organization is already familiar with Heslip, who spent training camp with Minnesota.

At this point, It appears quite possible he'll be sidelined for the remainder of the 2014-15 season.

Turiaf (hip) did not play Saturday against the Mavs and will remain out Wednesday versus the Knicks, Jon Krawczynski of the Associated Press reports.
Turiaf missed the first six games of the season with a hip issue, and it appears to have resurfaced. The Wolves haven't offered a return timetable, but Turiaf holds minimal fantasy value across nearly all formats, so his absence doesn't really move the needle. It does, however, mean Gorgui Dieng should see major minutes in the short-term, as Nikola Pekovic (wrist) has been ruled out for at least the next three games.

Turiaf (hip) did not play but was available off the bench Saturday.
Turiaf has not played yet this season through the Timberwolves' first six games. He should get some run as the third-string center behind Nikola Pekovic and Gorgui Dieng, but it's unlikely Turiaf will get enough minutes this season to be a regular option in most fantasy leagues.

Turiaf (hip) will be available for the first time this season Saturday.
Even though Turiaf is expected to play Saturday, it's unlikely that he'll see significant time on the court. He currently sits behind Nikola Pekovic, Gorgui Dieng, and Thaddeus Young on the depth chart and there's not much change that will change in the near future.
Sat Nov 8 201412:53Turiaf (hip) questionable to play in Saturday's game

Turiaf (hip) fully participated in Thursday's scrimmage and is expected to make his 2014-15 debut at some point over the next week, the Star Tribune reports.
Turiaf should be considered a game-time decision for Friday's contest against the Magic, but Minnesota isn't likely in a rush to get him back on the court when considering their other options in the frontcourt. If the 31-year-old is ultimately unable to play Friday, his next chance to get on the court will be against the Heat on Saturday.
Wed Nov 5 201419:14Turiaf (hip) out again Wednesday

Turiaf (hip) was forced to miss Thursday's game against the Pistons with lingering soreness, the Star Tribune reports.
