Tue Jan 21 201409:52David Andersen in talks with SIG Strasbourg
David Andersen is close to signing with SIG Strasbourg.
Andersen last played in the NBA in 2011 for the (then) New Orleans Hornets and would be coincidentally taking current New Orleans Pelican Alexis Ajinca's spot on SIG Strasbourg's roster. Outside of fantasy leagues that incorporate European league stats, Andersen's impending signing is fantasy non-news.

Wed Aug 8 201209:10David Andersen wants to return to the NBA
David Andersen, who is playing for Australia in the Olympics, said that he'd like to return to the NBA.
Andersen has spent some time playing in Italy since we last saw him in the NBA. "My agent is working pretty hard on some things right now, and hei s just going to keep talking to some teams to see if something pops up," he said. That doesn't make it sound like there is very much interest in his services, and Andersen acknowledged that if he can't return to the NBA, he'll take his game back to Europe.

Former Hornets big man David Andersen has reportedly signed a deal with the Italian team Montepaschi Siena.
Andersen has kicked around the league as a backup center with a decent jumpshot, but he won't be missed in fantasy circles. In 103 NBA appearances, he averaged 4.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in 12 minutes per game.

Sun Jan 30 201122:41David Andersen picks up minutes off bench
Hornets center David Andersen had six points and six rebounds off the bench on Sunday, picking up extra minutes once Emeka Okafor (strained hip) left the game.
Andersen and Jason Smith (16 minutes) will play the bulk of minutes at center if Emeka Okafor misses any games, but right now it's not clear whether he will or not. Regardless, neither backup is worth a speculative add.
Sat Nov 20 201013:09David Andersen traded to Hornets
Veteren big man David Andersen has been traded from Toronto to New Orleans.
Andersen, a backup center, is averaging 5.1 points and 3.1 rebounds this season. He has decent range with his jumpshot and gives New Orleans welcome frontcourt depth, but won't have fantasy appeal.
Sat Nov 13 201023:42Andersen plays through flu, scores four pts
David Andersen played through the flu in Saturday's game, scoring four points on 2-of-6 shooting with five rebounds and no assists.
He threw up at Customs but that couldn't keep a good man down. He is buried in the rotation and has no fantasy value at this time.
Wed Nov 10 201023:03David Andersen out with flu
David Andersen missed Wednesday's gamd with flu-like symptoms.
Just doing due diligence here, as Andersen has no fantasy value.
Wed Oct 20 201023:03Anderson (back) returns to action
David Anderson (back) returned to action on Wednesday, scoring nine points on 2-of-4 shooting with four rebounds and no assists in 17 minutes.
He's buried on the depth chart and is unlikely to have value in fantasy leagues this year.
Mon Oct 18 201009:43David Andersen (back) out on Sunday
David Andersen (back) sat out the Raptors' exhibition on Sunday.
We'll update Andersen's status once more is known. For now it looks like (at best) he'll carve out a niche off Toronto's bench.

Mon Sep 6 201010:18Raptors will fit Andersen into frontcourt
The Raptors acquired veteran big man David Andersen this summer, though it's unclear where he'll fit into the rotation.
As pointed out by the Toronto Star, "Toronto already has Andrea Bargnani and Amir Johnson as expected frontcourt starters and drafted a young big man in Ed Davis." There is no reason for fantasy owners to draft Andersen, who spent nine seasons playing in Italy, Russia, and Spain. On a side note, the Raptors didn't cut into their $14.5 million trade exception to acquire him.

Wed Jul 28 201016:27Report: Rockets to ship D. Andersen to Raps
The Rockets are reportedly set to trade center David Andersen to the Raptors for a second-round pick.
The jump-shooting big man would likely fill a reserve role in Toronto's frontcourt, but could have a little bit of value in deeper leagues if he gets enough run. Andersen averaged just 5.8 points and 3.3 rebounds last season, but on the 15 occasions he received 20 or more minutes, his averages escalated to 10.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

Mon Apr 12 201013:50David Andersen expected to sit rest of season
Rockets big man David Andersen (sore lower back) is expected to miss the remainder of season for precautionary reasons.
Andersen provided Houston with some length and frontcourt flexibility, especially with Yao Ming out of commission, but he never had a big impact. He'll probably play a bit role off some team's bench again next season.

Sun Apr 4 201021:08Andersen (back) does not play Sunday
David Andersen (back) did not play Sunday against the Pacers.
With the Rockets getting healthier by the day, it is unlikely that he returns to have any fantasy value.
