Sat Mar 4 202319:29Dewayne Dedmon Available On Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers center Dewayne Dedmon (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The big man has been banged up lately due to left hip soreness, but is cleared to make his team debut on Saturday. Head coach Doc Rivers mentioned it's unlikely that Dedmon gets minutes in the rotation. Possibly, Dedmon gets into action if it's a blowout, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to do much of anything. That being said, Dedmon can be avoided in fantasy formats right now.

Thu Feb 23 202318:36Dewayne Dedmon Listed As Questionable For Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers center Dewayne Dedmon (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man hasn't played since early January before he joined the Sixers. That being said, it's uncertain how Dedmon is going to fit into the rotation. Montrezl Harrell has been playing well as the backup center to superstar Joel Embiid. Possibly, Harrell loses a few minutes to Dedmon, but we'll wait and see how head coach Doc Rivers shakes out his rotation. Regardless, it's unlikely that Dedmon gets enough minutes to warrant rostering in any fantasy formats right now.

Sun Jan 8 202302:50Dewayne Dedmon Likely Good To Go On Sunday
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is expected to play against the Nets. The 33-year-old journeyman has averaged only 6.0 points and 3.7 rebounds this season, so it wouldn't be a huge loss for fantasy managers if he doesn't suit up. However, with Bam Adebayo (thigh) questionable, there's a chance Dedmon may see more action. Still, it won't make him relevant from a fantasy standpoint, especially since he likely won't start even if Adebayo isn't available.

Wed Jan 4 202321:30Dewayne Dedmon Returns On Wednesday
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is set to make his return to the court on Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers. The veteran big man has missed the six games due to plantar fasciitis and the league's health and safety protocols. It's nice to have him back on the court, but he's unlikely to make a significant impact. Bam Adebayo is healthy and should see the bulk of the playing time at the center spot. That being said, Dedmon and Orlando Robinson will go back to playing minimal roles.

Fri Dec 9 202220:35Dewayne Dedmon Questionable For Saturday
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Spurs. He is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot and it's been bothering him for a while, with the veteran center a regular on the team's injury report. Despite the health issue, Dedmon has played in 21 of 26 games this season, putting up 6.9 points with 3.6 boards. He's been able to pop up with a few good performances, but Dedmon plays behind Bam Adebayo and typically doesn't get enough minutes to make a significant impact in fantasy hoops.

Tue Nov 15 202219:04Bam Adebayo And Dewayne Dedmon Questionable Wednesday
The Miami Heat could be very thin in the frontcourt on Wednesday with centers Bam Adebayo (knee) and Dewayne Dedmon (foot) listed as questionable against the Toronto Raptors. With Udonis Haslem (personal) and Omer Yurtseven (ankle) out, the Heat have no true centers left on their roster if Adebayo and Dedmon are ruled out. Nikola Jovic would likely be asked to fill big minutes if either of them cannot go, but it would also be a good sign for Toronto's Chris Boucher. Boucher would be a great DFS option if Adebayo and Dedmon are ruled out.

Thu Oct 27 202222:09Dewayne Dedmon Downgraded To Out Thursday
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (foot) will sit out Thursday's contest against the Golden State Warriors due to plantar fasciitis. Dedmon was questionable to play but came down to a true game-time decision and was ruled out minutes before tip-off. Dedmon is averaging less than 10 minutes per game this season, so there should not be any huge swings in the Miami rotation Thursday. Nikola Jovic may pick up a couple extra minutes while Bam Adebayo continues to hold the lion's share of the minutes at center.

Mon Oct 3 202208:30NBA Draft: UDFAs Who Won't Waste Time
It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr. Irrelevant." That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr. Irrelevant" could just as easily be applied to each pick in the draft, as organizations differ greatly in their evaluation of talent and their own needs, particularly in a year without the NCAA tournament. The nickname just doesn't reflect how basketball works anymore. Executives strategically stockpile second-round draft picks for the less burdensome financial obligations, and organizations in rebuilding mode get super creative to field a respectable team on a budget.Particularly in the NBA where worldwide talent is plentiful and positional lines continue to fade, opportunity is everything: in the right situation, the right under-the-radar player can make an immediate, poignant statement. With professional development leagues for 16-18-year-olds, an ever-expanding set of domestic/international opportunities due to the sheer growth of basketball, and widespread NIL rights for college athletes, players of all levels and localities are starting to get their due exposure and now have enough freedom to hone their skills in a place, and at a pace that fits best with their path to the NBA.Plus, I am inherently skeptical and distrusting of scouting from the high school level to pre-Draft. That's why in this annual article, I tend to favor overlooked college players (love the mid-majors/non-power conferences) with either well-rounded, polished games, or specific statistical specialties.We are going to discuss a handful of 2022 second-round picks and undrafted free agent (UDFA) signees who, given their individual skillsets and circumstances, warrant the attention of Fantasy Basketball Managers as potential high-impact rookies for the 2022-23 campaign who can quietly be acquired on clearance once they start showing signs of emergence....

Mon May 9 202218:56Kyle Lowry, Dewayne Dedmon Earn Questionable Tags For Tuesday
Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) and center Dewayne Dedmon (illness) have been listed as questionable to suit up for Tuesday's contest vs. Philadelphia. Lowry has battled through a hamstring strain to start Games 3 and 4 of the series, but he has shot a combined 3-for-14 in that stretch, including going 0-for-8 from deep. Dedmon missed Sunday's outing due to an illness, which allowed the team to utilize smaller lineups. A backcourt absence from Lowry would funnel more fantasy intrigue toward Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro (ankle), and Gabe Vincent, while Bam Adebayo could see a handful of additional minutes if Dedmon is ultimately held out again.

Sun May 8 202218:24Dewayne Dedmon Out On Sunday
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (illness) won't play on Sunday during the playoff matchup versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The 32-year-old is averaging only 4.0 points and 3.3 boards throughout the postseason, so he hasn't been a reliable producer for DFS managers. However, considering the number of Miami players on the injury report, there was a slight chance he could have seen more action in Game 4.

Mon Apr 18 202222:10Dewayne Dedmon Tagged As Questionable For Game 2
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Atlanta Hawks. He battled through an ankle issue in Game 1 and played 15 minutes off the bench. The expectation is that Dedmon will play on Tuesday, but fantasy managers will have to wait until Tuesday for an official announcement. Regardless, Bam Adebayo is healthy, so Dedmon won't have a huge role with the second unit.

Sun Apr 17 202212:04Dewayne Dedmon Expected To Be In The Lineup On Sunday
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) will "warm up with the intent to play" leading up to Sunday's first-round opener against the Atlanta Hawks. Bam Adebayo cleared health and safety protocols, so even though Dedmon will likely be available, his presence shouldn't do much for DFS managers.

Sat Apr 16 202215:15Dewayne Dedmon, Markieff Morris Questionable For Game 1
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) and power forward Markieff Morris (hip) have been deemed questionable to suit up Sunday's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs vs. Atlanta. Dedmon missed the regular-season finale due to a sprained right ankle, while Morris was sidelined for the final three games due to a left hip flexor strain. The duo's potential absences are softened by the return of Bam Adebayo, who could see a handful of additional frontcourt minutes if either is ultimately unavailable to take the floor. With P.J. Tucker (calf) battling an injury as well, Duncan Robinson would be a candidate to slide into an increased workload if the Heat are short-handed during the series.

Wed Jan 12 202218:36Dewayne Dedmon Returns To Action
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Dedmon has missed each of the last seven games while dealing with a left MCL sprain. He was offering low-end value before going down, but Omer Yurtseven has stepped up in his absence. That being said, it's uncertain how big of a role Dedmon will have anymore. Yurtseven has shown to be a capable option for Miami. Both players are likely to get meaningful minutes until Bam Adebayo (thumb) returns to the court. Dedmon could be a possible low-end streaming option, but is a bit risky during his first game back.

Mon Dec 27 202122:23Dewayne Dedmon Remains Out On Tuesday
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (knee) remains out ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus Washington. Dedmon sustained a left knee sprain versus the Detroit Pistons a few nights ago and could miss a couple of weeks. With Bam Adebayo (thumb) also out, Omer Yurtseven should continue to get some extra work. With Kyle Lowry out because of health and safety protocols, he could also get some additional chances on the offensive end.

Thu Dec 23 202120:30Dewayne Dedmon Exits Early Thursday, Will Remain Out
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's contest against Detroit after sustaining a sprained left knee in the first quarter. Miami's roster has been crushed by injuries during the first half, with Dedmon filling in at the starting five for Bam Adebayo (thumb). Prior to his exit, Dedmon collected one point and one rebound across five minutes. The 32-year-old has enjoyed a solid run among the team's starting unit, entering the night having averaged 9.2 points and 8.8 boards since taking over for Adebayo. Dedmon's next opportunity to return to the floor comes Sunday vs. the Magic.

Wed Dec 1 202119:15Dewayne Dedmon Draws Start Wednesday
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon has been elevated into the starting five for Wednesday's contest against Cleveland, taking the place of Bam Adebayo (thumb). In the small sample size of 2021-22, Dedmon has delivered more impressive production as a starter, averaging 6.3 points and 8.0 rebounds, as opposed to 5.1 points and 4.4 boards off the bench. Dedmon appears to have the inside track on the vast majority of minutes at the five with Adebayo down for the next 4-6 weeks, although Omer Yurtseven and P.J. Tucker could be utilized extensively as well. Dedmon is worth a short-term stream in most season-long formats due to Miami's reliance on its strong defensive play.

Wed Nov 17 202119:10Tyler Herro, Dewayne Dedmon Draw Starts Wednesday
Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro and center Dewayne Dedmon have been elevated to the starting five for Wednesday's contest against the Pelicans. With Kyle Lowry (rest) and Bam Adebayo (knee) unavailable, the aforementioned duo will draw rare starts and thereby see their respective DFS values elevated. It's been a breakout first month of the season for Herro, who enters play averaging a career-best 21.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists on a nightly basis. The 21-year-old has become integral to the Heat's offense, regardless of whether he starts or enters as a reserve. Dedmon is more of a DFS punt play due to his capped minutes totals, while P.J. Tucker also stands to likely see some added minutes as a small ball center for as long as Adebayo is out of the mix.

Thu Oct 21 202121:12Dewayne Dedmon Returns To Play After Injury
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) briefly left Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but returned to play. Dedmon got a little banged up during the game, but was initially ruled as probable to return so there should not be much worry about the injury itself. Dedmon is the primary backup to Bam Adebayo and would leave a hole in Miami's rotation if he ends up suffering a setback. If Dedmon is limited at all, Markieff Morris and P.J. Tucker will likely see a bump in playing time.

Thu Nov 19 202017:10AP source: Hawks trade Dedmon to Pistons for Snell, Thomas
ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to trade center Dewayne Dedmon to the Detroit Pistons for guards Tony Snell and Khyri Thomas, a person with knowledge of the situation said Thursday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade needs approval from the NBA before becoming official. The deal allows the Hawks to clear a logjam at center. The Hawks selected center Onyeka Okongwu from Southern Cal with the No. 6 pick of the NBA draft on Wednesday night. Last season, the Hawks acquired center Clint Capela from Houston at the trade deadline. Capela was injured and didn’t play before Atlanta's season was halted by the coronavirus pandemic, but he's expected to play a key role next season. Snell, who turned 29 this month, averaged 8.0 points in 59 games in 2019-20, his first season with Detroit. The 6-foot-6 guard played three seasons for Milwaukee and three for Chicago prior to that. Thomas, a 6-foot-3 guard, has played two seasons with the Pistons since being drafted in the second round in 2018. He appeared in only eight games last season, averaging 7.7 minutes. Dedmon, 31, was acquired for his second stint with the Hawks last season as the team sought to bolster the center position. The 7-foot Dedmon averaged a career-best 10.8 points with 7.5 rebounds for Atlanta in the 2018-19 season. ___ More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP-Sports
