Sacramento Kings center Drew Eubanks (thumb) underwent surgery to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb Wednesday and will miss the rest of the season. His absence should keep Maxime Raynaud locked into heavy minutes after the rookie posted 32 points, two three-pointers, nine rebounds, three assists, and one block in 42 minutes last game. Dylan Cardwell could also see a larger role after finishing with seven points, eight rebounds, and two assists in 18 minutes. Raynaud remains a strong fantasy playoff target, while Cardwell is more of a deep-league option as he continues ramping up after missing multiple games.

Sacramento Kings center Drew Eubanks (thumb) is set to undergo surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb, and he is likely to miss most of the remaining schedule. Maxime Raynaud should continue handling starting duties after delivering eight points and 12 rebounds in 29 minutes last game, putting him on the radar as a rebounds streamer. Dylan Cardwell chipped in seven rebounds in 16 minutes and could earn a larger role as he ramps up following his recent return. Raynaud is the safer add for now, while Cardwell is a name to watch in deeper leagues if his minutes climb.

Sacramento Kings center Drew Eubanks (thumb) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The team has removed Eubanks from the injury report, indicating that he is ready for his first action since fracturing his left thumb on Dec. 11. The veteran will take Dylan Cardwell's spot in the lineup after he was reassigned to the G League. Eubanks works as a backup center in Sacramento and hasn't been a fantasy factor in 2025-26, despite Domantas Sabonis (knee) missing significant time.

Sacramento Kings center Drew Eubanks (thumb) suffered an avulsion fracture in Thursday's loss to Denver and will be re-evaluated in three weeks after exiting in just four minutes. Eubanks can be dropped in most formats. Maxime Raynaud has started recently and logged 15 points, nine rebounds, and 37 minutes against the Nuggets, putting him firmly on the standard-league streaming radar while Domantas Sabonis (knee) remains out. Precious Achiuwa should hold a steady backup role, offering boards and defensive stats in deeper leagues.

Los Angeles Clippers center Drew Eubanks (ankle) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Eubanks has been cleared to play after missing the final two games before the All-Star break. It remains unclear what kind of role Eubanks is going to have in the rotation once he's back to being fully healthy. He figures to play a minimal role behind Ivica Zubac at the center spot. That being said, Eubanks is unlikely to see enough minutes to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.

Los Angeles Clippers center Drew Eubanks (ankle) is not ready to face his former team, the Utah Jazz, on Thursday. He is nursing a left ankle sprain, which will sideline Eubanks for a second consecutive contest. The Jazz traded Eubanks to the Clippers on Feb. 1, but he has suited up for only three games with his new squad. The 28-year-old has notched 3.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 8.7 minutes. With Ivica Zubac healthy and having a fantastic season, Eubanks has little chance of making an impact in L.A.

Los Angeles Clippers center Drew Eubanks (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Eubanks suffered a left ankle sprain on Saturday and as a result he'll miss Wednesday's game. The Clippers do play a back-to-back set, so Eubanks will get another chance to play on Thursday. However, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Clippers take the cautious approach and rest Eubanks until after the All-Star break. His absence means that Ivica Zubac and Nicolas Batum will see more minutes at the center spot. Zubac is the only fantasy relevant option here right now.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Clippers have acquired center Drew Eubanks and guard Patty Mills from the Jazz. In exchange, Utah will receive center Mo Bamba and forward P.J. Tucker. Eubanks hasn't been overly productive throughout the 2024-25 campaign. However, he saw a bump in production during his four starts, averaging 10.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks. Despite that, Eubanks might continue having issues getting on the floor in Los Angeles, considering Ivica Zubac is having the best season of his career. As a result, Eubanks likely won't see much attention from fantasy managers. Yet, he may get a few more cracks at the starting lineup if Zubac doesn't play, giving him some streaming appeal moving forward.

Forward/center Drew Eubanks will decline his $2.6 million player option with the Phoenix Suns, meaning he'll be an unrestricted free agent. The 27-year-old appeared in 75 games for the Suns last season. However, he averaged 5.1 points and 4.3 rebounds, his lowest marks in the previous few seasons. Eubanks also saw only 15 minutes per contest during the 2023-24 campaign. Yet, he'll have double-double upside if he can find minutes on a new team.

Phoenix Suns forward Drew Eubanks (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Eubanks was questionable coming into this game, but will ultimately sit out due to an illness. The playing time will be split up between Jusuf Nurkic, Chimezie Metu and Udoka Azubuike. Between the three, Nurkic is the only one here that is actually a viable fantasy option right now.

Phoenix Suns center Drew Eubanks (ankle) won't play against the Grizzlies. The 26-year-old hasn't missed a game this season. However, he tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Eubanks has averaged 7.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks this season, meaning his absence will impact a small group of fantasy managers. But the team is already dealing with a handful of injured players, so there should be room for others to benefit, specifically Chimezie Metu, who will likely play behind Jusuf Nurkic versus Memphis.

Phoenix Suns center Drew Eubanks (back) has officially been listed as available for the team's in-season tournament contest against the Utah Jazz on Friday. The big man has been dealing with some lower back tightness, but it won't be enough to keep him off of the court as he hasn't missed a single game so far. He likely will resume his usual role off of the bench where he gets around 17-to-20 minutes and can contribute some points, rebounds, and blocks.

Well, it finally happened. For the first time in 11 years, Damian Lillard is no longer a Trailblazer.On Wednesday, the nearly three-month saga that held NBA news hostage all summer came to an abrupt halt after Lillard was astonishingly acquired by the Milwaukee Bucks. It was a blockbuster three-team deal that included the Phoenix Suns, nine total players, one first-round pick, and one pick swap.Here is the full breakdown of the trade and my analysis of how it will affect the NBA in 2023-2024 and fantasy basketball. 

The Trade

The Bucks receive - Damian LillardThe Blazers receive - Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, Bucks' 2029 first-round pick, Bucks' pick swapThe Suns receive - Jusuf Nurkic, Nassir Little, Keon Johnson, ... [More]

Free-agent forward/center Drew Eubanks agreed to a two-year deal with the Suns on Friday. The 26-year-old didn't do much while playing off the bench last season. However, he averaged 8.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 28 starts. Eubanks likely won't receive consistent minutes in Phoenix. But fantasy managers should monitor him throughout the year, especially since his ceiling will rise with an enhanced role.

Portland Trail Blazers center Drew Eubanks is on a short list of depth players that the Phoenix Suns are looking to sign. As reported by Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, the Suns see him as a strong candidate to be a backup to Deandre Ayton like he was for Jusuf Nurkic in Portland. Eubanks had some solid starts when Nurkic was injured, but his fantasy upside would be severely limited if he did end up in Phoenix. He'd likely play around 15 minutes per contest and only contribute a little on the boards.

Portland Trail Blazers center Drew Eubanks (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The big man is expected to make his fourth straight start with Jusuf Nurkic (calf) still sidelined. Normally, Eubanks would be an intriguing streaming option, but he hasn't been too sharp lately. He's averaging 7.7 points and 4.3 rebounds during his last three games. Fellow big man Trendon Watford has been outplaying him, which makes him the better streaming option for Wednesday.

Portland Trail Blazers center Drew Eubanks (lumbar) has been listed as probable against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night. The 26-year-old appeared on the injury report due to a left lumbar strain, but it seems as though it's not serious enough to hold him out of a game. While Jusuf Nurkic (calf) remains sidelined through the All-Star break, Eubanks has been an important streaming piece for many fantasy teams. He'll continue his role of supplying blocks and rebounds to any managers that need them.

Portland Trail Blazers forward/center Drew Eubanks will start on Friday night versus the Washington Wizards. Jusuf Nurkic (calf) won't suit up, so Eubanks will take his place in the lineup. The 26-year-old has averaged 7.7 points and 6.8 rebounds in six starts this season. However, he'll be entering this one fresh off an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. As a result, Eubanks should have a sizable upside for fantasy managers until Nurkic is ready to return.

Portland Trail Blazers forward/center Drew Eubanks (tooth) and forward/center Trendon Watford (Achilles) are both available for Friday's contest against Dallas. This should be a great matchup for Eubanks and Watford, with Dallas lacking size and very vulnerable because of it, although they likely won't be able to play a big role behind Jusuf Nurkic and Jerami Grant. The Bosnian Beast has been surprisingly durable this season, which has made it very tough for Eubanks to log consistent minutes, and Watford's situation has been even worse at the club, although he was also held back by injury early in the campaign.

Portland Trail Blazers forward/center Drew Eubanks (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against Utah. He missed a game last week with a back issue and now Eubaks is bothered by his right hip. The 25-year-old has been a solid bench contributor for the Blazers this season, averaging 5.7 points per game with 4.2 rebounds and 1.0 blocks. One of his best games of the season came against the Jazz last month, and it indeed looks like a good matchup for him, with Utah lacking size. Trendon Watford should be logging the center minutes behind Jusuf Nurkic if Eubanks isn't available on Saturday. He has just marked his first start of the season with a double-double and Watford could be a very intriguing option for fantasy managers Saturday. The 22-year-old would also benefit from the potential absence of Josh Hart (ankle).
