Tue Aug 18 201511:47Dorsey and Nuggets reached buyout agreement Tuesday
Dorsey and the Nuggets reached a buyout agreement Tuesday, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
Dorsey was acquired from Houston as part of the Ty Lawson trade, and he'll now sign overseas with a Turkish club team. The former Memphis standout has bounced around the league since being selected 22rd overall by the Blazers in 2008, spending time with the Rockets, Kings and Raptors over parts of four NBA seasons. In 2014-15, he appeared in 69 games for Houston, averaging 2.7 points and 4.0 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game.
Sun Jul 19 201521:48Dorsey traded to Denver as part of Ty Lawson deal on Sunday
Dorsey was traded to Denver as part of the Ty Lawson deal on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Dorsey spent the majority of his time in Houston off the bench and he'll likely welcome the move to Denver since their frontcourt has had trouble staying healthy over the last few years, giving him more opportunities off the bench since he's in line for yet another reserve role. While playing behind Kenneth Faried and Jusuf Nurkic, he'll compete for minutes with J.J. Hickson and Nikola Jokic.

Dorsey averaged 2.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.4 blocks, and 0.6 steals in 12 minutes per game through 69 games in 2014-15.
The 31-year-old Dorsey, who is under team control through 2015-16, finished his fourth NBA season with 17 spot starts in support of injuries to Dwight Howard, Donatas Motiejunas, and Terrence Jones. Dorsey shot an impressive 55% from the field in 145 attempts, but shot an abysmal 29% from the free-throw line in 83 attempts. Should players like Howard, Motiejunas, and Jones all recuperate next season, Dorsey's minutes will most likely drop along with his production.
Sat May 2 201510:41Dorsey saw just four total minutes during series against Dallas
Dorsey saw just four total minutes during the series against Dallas.
Dorsey served as a replacement for Dwight Howard during the regular season but things have gone back to normal with Dorsey spending most of his time on the bench. Unless something unfortunate happens to Howard, Dorsey isn't expected to see much of the court in the playoffs.
Mon Apr 13 201517:49Dorsey will get start against Hornets on Monday
Dorsey will get the start against the Hornets on Monday, Jenny Dial Creech of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Dwight Howard will sit on the second night of a back-to-back set, so Dorsey moves into the starting lineup at center. He hasn't scored in double-figures all season, but he was able to haul in 11 rebounds in 32 minutes last time he started in place of Howard.
Sat Mar 21 201523:16Dorsey returned to starting lineup with Terrence Jones (lung) ou...
Dorsey returned to the starting lineup with Terrence Jones (lung) out, scoring just two points (1-1 FG) with three rebounds, one assist and one block in 14 minutes.
Despite his status as a starter, Dorsey doesn't have much fantasy value, as Donatas Motiejunas and Josh Smith will absorb the bulk of the minutes in JOnes' and Dwight Howard's (knee) absence. Deep leagues only need apply.
Fri Mar 20 201510:26Dorsey logged 20 minutes of action off bench in Thursday's game ...
Dorsey logged 20 minutes of action off the bench in Thursday's game against the Nuggets, compiling three points, eight rebounds, one assist, and one steal during his time on the court.
Dorsey could be in store for added minutes moving forward as a result of Thursday's injury to normal starter Terrence Jones (ribs). The backup Dorsey has started in place of Jones in the past so he may benefit in the potential absence of Jones in the future.

Dorsey will head back to the bench for Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Mark Berman Fox 26 KRIV reports.
Dorsey saw the spot start against the Magic on Tuesday but that was only because Terrence Jones was being punished. As a result, Dorsey is expected to play off the bench moving forward.

Dorsey started Tuesday against Orlando and had two points (1-1 FG) and four rebounds in seven minutes in the win.
Dorsey was a starter in name only. He did not play more minutes and Terrence Jones will likely be back in the starting lineup Thursday against the Nuggets.
Tue Mar 17 201519:50Joey Dorsey: Will Start Tuesday
Dorsey will be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Magic, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Dorsey will be starting in place of Terrence Jones on Tuesday, although it's still unclear if this will be a long-term manifestation. Further news should be released in due time, but as for now, Dorsey will at least see a bump in playing time against the Magic.
Mon Feb 23 201519:10Dorsey will be available off bench Monday against Timberwolves
Dorsey will be available off the bench Monday against the Timberwolves, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The Rockets will go with Donatas Motiejunas and Terrence Jones in the frontcourt Monday, while Dorsey, who has been battling an ankle issue, will be available off the bench. Dorsey is averaging 3.7 points and 4.3 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per game this month.
Sat Feb 21 201513:08Dorsey (ankle) probable for Saturday's game against Raptors
Dorsey (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Raptors, FOX 26's Mark Berman reports.
Despite starting at center, Dorsey has played 17 or fewer minutes in each of the past five games. His absence wouldn't impact much besides the starting lineup.
Wed Feb 11 201502:13Dorsey in starting lineup again Tuesday, but managed just two po...
Dorsey was in the starting lineup again Tuesday, but managed just two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 Ft), and six rebounds in 17 minutes.
Dorsey has been getting the starts of late, but not starter-level minutes. He's also struggling to produce in his limited time on the floor, averaging 2.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 14.4 minutes over his last five games.
Thu Jan 29 201500:37Dorsey started again in place of Dwight Howard (ankle)
Dorsey started again in place of Dwight Howard (ankle). He was 0-for-2 from the field with zero points, four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 13 minutes on Wednesday.
Well the production wasn't there, but neither were the minutes. Dorsey played the least out of any Rockets player who saw the floor on Wednesday. He could see more time going forward with Howard potentially having suffered a knee injury in addition to his already sprained ankle. A wait and see approach might be best in terms of deploying Dorsey into your lineup, or even adding him to your team.
Mon Jan 26 201500:00Dorsey made spot start Sunday in place of Dwight Howard (ankle) ...
Dorsey made a spot start Sunday in place of Dwight Howard (ankle) and put up four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one steal, and one block in 25 minutes.
Dorsey has played in three straight games, but his general role of a about 1` minutes per game isn't enough to make him worth considering in year-long leagues. If Dorsey makes another spot start, he could be a decent low-salary flier in daily games, but on most sites, he'd be a flier tournament play and risky to use.
Sun Jan 25 201520:38Dorsey will start Sunday's game against Lakers
Dorsey will start Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Dorsey will replace Dwight Howard, who is day-to-day with a sprained ankle. The Rockets don't really have any other big men, so Dorsey may handle a significant workload.

Dorsey has played in four games this season and is averaging four minutes on the court per contest.
Dorsey has been limited off the bench behind Dwight Howard and Tarik Black this season. As for now, the 30-year-old won't be much of a factor in Houston during the 2014-15 campaign unless injuries become a problem for the frontcourt.
Thu Oct 9 201419:51Dorsey (foot) will start at center in Thursday's preseason game ...
Dorsey (foot) will start at center in Thursday's preseason game versus the Grizzlies, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Dorsey will start in place of Dwight Howard, who will be sidelined Thursday due to a sore knee. The 30-year-old Dorsey missed Tuesday's preseason opener with a foot issue, but is evidently cleared to play a significant role to begin his second stint with the Rockets. However, once the regular season tips off, Dorsey's fantasy value will likely be limited to his rebounding ability in deeper leagues.
Tue Oct 7 201413:54Dorsey (foot) will miss Tuesday's preseason opener against Mavs
Dorsey (foot) will miss Tuesday's preseason opener against the Mavs, Adam Wexler of CSN reports.
Dorsey, who signed a two-year, $2 million deal with the Rockets this offseason, is nursing a left foot injury. The details of the injury are unknown, but it does not appear to be anything overly serious.
Tue Jul 15 201412:49Houston Rockets sign F/C Joey Dorsey
Houston Rockets sign F/C Joey Dorsey.
Dorsey's agreed to a two-year, $2 million deal with the Rockets on Tuesday, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports. The 30-year-old was a second-round pick in the 2008 NBA Draft and last played an FC Barcelona that went to the Euroleague Final Four. Dorsey will see some minutes backing up Dwight Howard, but he shouldn't be on any fantasy radars right now.
