| Tue Mar 17 | 21:16 | Harrison Barnes Set to Start Tuesday |
San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes will enter the starting lineup Tuesday with Devin Vassell (ankle) sidelined. Barnes has shown modest upside in previous starts, including a 19-point outing with five three-pointers in 35 minutes earlier this season, giving him some deep-league appeal for threes and points. His value remains matchup dependent, but the increased minutes help his streaming case. Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson could also see slightly larger roles, while Barnes remains a low-priority option outside deeper category formats. |

As a reserve, Barnes has averaged 7.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists this season. |

| Sat Mar 7 | 22:00 | Harrison Barnes to Remain Out Sunday |
San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes (ankle) won't be in the lineup for Sunday's meeting with the Houston Rockets, missing a fourth consecutive game. Incredibly, Barnes had made 364 straight appearances before an ankle problem sidelined him earlier this week. Barnes' absence has opened up around 20 minutes in the second unit. Carter Bryant has benefited the most in this situation, though the rookie can't yet be trusted in fantasy basketball. |

| Fri Mar 6 | 15:31 | Harrison Barnes is Ruled Out for Friday |
San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The usually reliable Barnes is set to miss his third straight game due to a lingering ankle issue. His next chance to play will come on Sunday, so fantasy managers should check back later this weekend. In the meantime, Carter Bryant and Julian Champagnie (knee) should see increased roles in the rotation. Champagnie is currently considered questionable with a knee injury, so Bryant could be looking at a bigger role, assuming he sits out as well. |

| Tue Mar 3 | 19:03 | Harrison Barnes Out Against 76ers |
San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes (ankle) was added late to the injury report and won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday due to soreness in his left ankle. Tonight's contest will be the first the 33-year-old has missed all season. His next opportunity to return will come on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons. Barnes is averaging 10.2 points and 2.9 rebounds across 26.9 minutes per contest in 60 appearances this campaign. With Barnes sidelined, Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson are expected to absorb additional minutes and could see increased offensive involvement against Philadelphia. |

| Sun Feb 1 | 20:46 | Harrison Barnes Rejoins Starting Lineup Against Magic |
San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes will be back in the first unit on Sunday against the Orlando Magic. After starting all 47 games this season, Barnes dropped to the bench on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets, giving up his spot to Devin Vassell. On Sunday, the Spurs will be without Stephon Castle (adductor), allowing both Barnes and Vassell to start. Barnes had 11 points in Saturday's loss to the Hornets, but he struggled throughout January and isn't a great fantasy option at the moment. |

| Mon Jun 17 2024 | 08:58 | Kevin Huerter And Harrison Barnes Expected To Be Available On Trade Market |
Sacramento Kings duo Kevin Huerter and Harrison Barnes are reportedly available on the trade market, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Both players had disappointing campaigns in 2023-24, and it looks like the Kings will try to shake up the roster after failing to qualify for the playoffs. Barnes could be moving on just 12 months after signing a three-year, $54 million extension with the Kings. The 32-year-old has been a one-dimensional player throughout his career but has performed well in suitable situations. Huerter has proven himself to be a solid starter and could definitely do a good job for a number of teams if he isn't wanted in Sacramento anymore. |

| Fri Jan 26 2024 | 11:42 | Harrison Barnes Scores Season-High 39 Points On Thursday |
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes set a season-high on Thursday against his former team, the Golden State Warriors, scoring 39 points in the team's 134-133 road win. Barnes drained seven threes en route to his third 30-point game of the season, tying the second-most he's ever made in a game. The veteran forward has experienced significant performance swings, having back-to-back 30-point games, but he only scored more than 10 points once in the six games before that. The 31-year-old is averaging 12 points per game in 29 minutes this year, and he'll look to continue his hot streak on Saturday against the Mavericks. |

| Thu Jun 29 2023 | 20:40 | Harrison Barnes Signs Three-Year Extension |
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes has signed a three-year, $54 million contract extension with the organization. The two sides have been reportedly discussing a new deal and they finally come to terms before letting things play out in free agency. The veteran wing appeared in all 82 games for the Kings last season. He averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists in 32.5 minutes per game. Barnes was still able to carve out a decent role for himself despite being the third option behind De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. His fantasy value isn't elite as he finished 11th-round value in 9-cat formats last season. He should have similar production next season depending on what the Kings do this offseason. |

| Wed Jun 28 2023 | 19:18 | Harrison Barnes, Kings Restart Contract Discussions |
According to ESPN's James Ham, the Kings and forward Harrison Barnes have reportedly restarted discussions surrounding a new contract. Barnes played and started in all 82 regular season games in 2022, averaging 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists while shooting 37.4% from deep. There were reports Barnes was on his out of Sacramento. However, it appears there is a chance he'll remain with the team. But with the Kings looking to free up some cash, it's unknown how productive future talks will be between both sides. |

| Tue Jun 27 2023 | 22:55 | Harrison Barnes Linked To Indiana |
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes has ties to the Indiana Pacers that could potentially affect his free-agency decision. Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer deems the Pacers "strong contenders" for the 31-year-old's services, citing Barnes' "close relationship" with former Kings teammate Tyrese Haliburton and Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle during their time with the Mavs. Barnes could bolster Indiana's depth chart on the wing, as traditional shooting guard Buddy Hield has functioned as the team's primary small forward. Barnes has been a fairly ho-hum fantasy asset throughout his Sacramento career. The three-level scorer has averaged 15.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists with low defensive numbers in 317 games there. |

| Tue Jun 20 2023 | 11:00 | Pacers Interested In Bringing In Harrison Barnes |
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Indiana Pacers are interested in Sacramento's pending free agent Harrison Barnes. "Indy is poised to turn to free agency to address its need for a floor-spacing forward if desirable trade options fail to materialize this week," Stein wrote on his Substack. "League sources say that the Pacers have interest in Kings free agent-to-be Harrison Barnes, thanks at least in part to two rather prominent Barnes fans in the organization: All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton (who played with Barnes in Sacramento) and Pacers coach Rick Carlisle (who coached Barnes in Dallas)." Barnes, who turned 31 a couple of weeks back, has been a solid contributor for teams throughout his NBA career, averaging 14.1 points and 5.0 rebounds with 38 percent shooting from deep. |

| Mon Jun 19 2023 | 21:24 | Pacers Showing Interest In Harrison Barnes |
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The 31-year-old has already mentioned that he wants to remain with the Kings next season. However, he also acknowledged that the NBA is a business, so he'll move on if the two sides can't come to an agreement. It sounds like Barnes will have at least one potential suitor this offseason. The Indiana Pacers reportedly have interest in signing Barnes, assuming they can't upgrade at the wing through trade. The veteran forward appears to still have plenty left in the tank. He averaged 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists across 82 games last season. A move to Indiana might be beneficial to his fantasy value as he would probably see increased playing time. |

| Mon May 1 2023 | 19:43 | Harrison Barnes Wants To Remain With Kings |
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes would like to remain with the organization going forward. The 30-year-old was asked about his future of the team following their playoff series loss to the Golden State Warriors. Barnes said that he understands it's a business, but he'd like to continue with this group going forward. Barnes saw his stats dip some in 2022-2023, but he still averaged 15 points over 32.5 minutes per game in 82 games. It'll likely come down to what Barnes is seeking in free agency as he's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer. Clearly, Barnes would like to return to Sacramento, but we'll see if there is mutual interest. |

| Thu Apr 13 2023 | 21:37 | Harrison Barnes Misses Thursday's Practice |
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (ankle) didn't suit up for practice on Thursday. The 30-year-old tweaked his ankle, so he didn't participate in practice. Despite that, Barnes is expected to suit up for their postseason matchup on Saturday. The absence of Barnes would likely mean additional playing time for Malik Monk and Terence Davis. Between the two, Monk is the much better streaming option. However, Barnes is expected to play, but fantasy managers should check back for another update. |

| Wed Mar 1 2023 | 11:21 | Harrison Barnes Catches Fire Against Oklahoma City |
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes cashed in a vintage scoring night on Tuesday as they took home a six-point win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The UNC product posted 29 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and one block on 8-for-13 shooting from the floor, 4-for-5 from deep, and 9-for-10 from the line. The entire starting five enjoyed a great offensive night despite not having their starting point guard in the lineup. If Barnes can continue this level of play and channel his days from Golden State, this Kings team could make some serious noise down the stretch and into the playoffs. |

| Wed Dec 21 2022 | 17:56 | Domantas Sabonis, Harrison Barnes Questionable Wednesday |
Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (hand) and small forward Harrison Barnes (quad) have been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's game vs. the Lakers. Sabonis logged 41 minutes and a season-high 23 rebounds Monday, so when his malady cropped up is uncertain. Barnes has started every game this season for Sacramento, proving to be a key contributor on the wing. An absence in the frontcourt would pave the way for Chimezie Metu and Richaun Holmes to get added run, while being sidelined on the wing would open up minutes for Terence Davis and Malik Monk. With Sabonis and Barnes playing such integral roles, fantasy managers will want to check back to get a read on the Kings' depth chart. |

| Tue Dec 20 2022 | 06:35 | Harrison Barnes Exits With Injury |
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes was forced to leave Monday's matchup against Charlotte with a right quadriceps contusion. He was hit in his right quadriceps in the third quarter and ended up logging just 29 minutes of playing time. Barnes had 11 points with three rebounds, three assists and two steals. The team has yet to provide further information on Barnes' status. If he's out for a bit, the Kings will lose one of their starters who averages over 31 minutes per game. Keegan Murray might pick up some of the minutes, and there will also be bigger roles for Malik Monk and Terence Davis off the bench. |

| Tue Dec 7 2021 | 20:50 | Harrison Barnes Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday |
Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. The veteran forward has missed nearly two weeks of action due to a right foot sprain. The good news is, Barnes has been able to go through each of the last two practices. It sounds like Barnes is on track to play on Wednesday. However, fantasy managers should be mindful that Barnes could be on a minutes limit. His return could mean less minutes for Terence Davis and Chimezie Metu. Although, fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday for more information. |

| Mon Dec 6 2021 | 17:30 | Harrison Barnes, Maurice Harkless Practice On Monday |
Sacramento Kings forwards Harrison Barnes (foot) and Maurice Harkless (knee) both were able to practice on Monday. Barnes has missed five straight games, while Harkless has missed the last four contests. Their absence has allowed Chimezie Metu to move into the starting five. Also, Marvin Bagley III has been getting extended playing time with the second unit. The Kings don't play again until Wednesday, so Barnes and Harkless have time to rest and prepare. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday for another update. |
