Roster %
Eligibility
The Utah Jazz are finalizing a trade to send Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji to the Toronto Raptors for Kira Lewis, Otto Porter and a 2024 first-round pick.
Fantasy Impact
Lewis was playing just two minutes per game with Toronto. He will remain off the fantasy radar in Utah.
Kira Lewis Jr. is set to make his season debut on Monday against the Thunder.
Fantasy Impact
Lewis makes his return after tearing his ACL in December of 2021. He will more than likely be eased back into action, so he won't be fantasy relevant.
New Orleans Pelicans G Kira Lewis Jr. (knee) suffered a torn ACL and a Grade 2 MCL sprain in the second quarter of Tuesday night’s game against the Nuggets and he will be out indefinitely.
Fantasy Impact
Lewis is averaging 14.2 minutes a game this year and is not currently worth much in the fantasy realm due to the low usage but regardless will be out for an indefinite period of time.
Kira Lewis Jr. finished Friday’s game with 19 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3PT), four rebounds, four assists, and three steals to go along with one turnover in 23 minutes of action in the Pelicans' 94-81 win over the Clippers.
Fantasy Impact
Lewis played fantastic in this one as he saw some of the minutes left behind by Devonte' Graham (foot) who was out of the lineup Friday. Lewis shot 58% from the field in this one and saw over 20 minutes, however this again was due to Graham being out as when Graham is in the lineup Lewis has seen an average of 13 minutes a game. Lewis is thus an alright addition if Graham is to miss anymore time but should not but rostered if Graham returns.
Kira Lewis Jr. saw 18 minutes of action Friday and totaled two points (1-10 FG, 0-3 3PT), one rebound, two assists, and one steal to go along with four turnovers in the Pelicans' 126-85 blowout loss to the Warriors Friday night.
Fantasy Impact
This was an awful performance for Lewis who has been getting opportunity while the Pelicans are plagued by injuries. Lewis needs to step up his game or there may be concern of how he is used upon Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson's return. For now he can be considered a pickup for teams in need of a stream for a game type play.
