Daniel Theis Latest News
Waived by Oklahoma City
The Thunder waived Theis (thumb) on Thursday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. The Thunder just acquired Theis along with draft compensation on Wednesday in what was essentially a salary dump. The Thunder are comfortable with their current center rotation, however. Theis is likely to draw interest from contending teams as a free agent.
Moved to OKC
The Thunder acquired Theis (thumb) and additional draft compensation from the Pelicans on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The Pelicans were previously $1.4 million above the luxury tax, and Theis had an expiring $2.1 million contract, so moving him to the Thunder created more financial flexibility. In Oklahoma City, Theis will compete with Jaylin Williams for backup minutes at center behind starter Isaiah Hartenstein. Theis will likely make his debut Friday against the Raptors once the trade is made official. The veteran big man had missed the Pelicans' previous two games with a right thumb sprain, but the injury isn't believed to be anything significant.
Questionable against Denver
Theis (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. After missing the last two games for the Pelicans, Theis could be on track to be ruled out for a third straight game due to a right thumb sprain. The veteran big man is having a rough season in New Orleans, averaging a career-low 4.3 points per game on a career-worst 47.3 percent from the floor. If unable to play in Denver, the team could turn to Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Karlo Matkovic to help shoulder the load off the bench in the frontcourt.
Won't play Monday
Theis (thumb) will not play Monday against Denver. Theis will miss his second consecutive game for the Pelicans, but he remains day-to-day. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Karlo Matkovic are the candidates to see increased roles behind Yves Missi.
Iffy for Monday
Theis (thumb) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets. Theis missed Friday's game due to a thumb injury that now has his status for Monday in question. If he is unable to go, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Karlo Matkovic could see increased roles behind Yves Missi.
Officially ruled out
Theis (thumb) won't play in Friday's game versus the Celtics. Theis has been downgraded from doubtful to out Friday due to a sprained right thumb. Yves Missi, Karlo Matkovic and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are all candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Theis' next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Denver.
Doubtful for Friday
Theis (thumb) has been listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Celtics. Theis is having a less-than-stellar season in a bench role with the Pelicans. The veteran big man is averaging a career-low 4.3 points to go along with 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.3 minutes per game. From a fantasy perspective, he hasn't made a big impact during the 2024-25 campaign.
Records six assists
Theis logged four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes during Monday's 123-119 overtime victory over the Jazz. Theis matched his season-best mark of six assists as he made his second start in a row. He's been a serviceable short-term streamer for the Pelicans, but all that could come to an end once Yves Missi (shoulder) and Zion Williamson (illness) are healthy again.
Fills in admirably Friday
Theis recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 136-123 win over the Jazz. Making his first start for the Pelicans since Nov. 25, Theis made an immediate impact in his return to the first unit with his highest scoring output of the year in a season-high 28 minutes. Having now played eight games as a starter, the veteran big man has averaged 6.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in 17.9 minutes as a member of New Orleans' starting lineup. With starting center Yves Missi (illness) presumably just day-to-day, Theis doesn't appear to be the most appealing cursory pickup in fantasy leagues despite Friday's outburst.
