Najee Harris’ agent Doug Hendrickson said that Harris “sustained a superficial eye injury” during “a fireworks mishap” on the 4th of July, “but is fully expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season.”

There is more to learn about Harris’ injury specifics and his road to recovery, but this is good news. A surface-level injury suffered by the eye is, of course, different than an elbow abrasion. But from a vision standpoint, Harris is seemingly expected to be in football shape come September after suffering an eye injury that resulted in two hospital visits just last weekend. We will wait for more details to fully assess his 2025 outlook, though it stands to reason that the coaching staff will safely ease him into live action.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the Wizards have signed Marvin Bagley III to a one-year contract.

Bagley began last season with the Wizards before being traded to Memphis at the February deadline. He’s back in the nation’s capital on a one-year deal, providing additional frontcourt depth. Bagley only averaged 8.5 minutes per game last season and may be in line for a similar role, especially as the Wizards continue to develop 2024 lottery pick Alex Sarr. Unless there are injuries throughout the season, Bagley is not a player who should be selected in most fantasy drafts.

The Mercury News reports Najee Harris was injured by a “fireworks explosion” during a July 4th celebration.

The incident reportedly occurred at 12:20 a.m. on July 5th. Per the report, “the nature and severity of Harris’ injury could not immediately be verified” and “officials said that other people had been hurt in the blast, but did not specify their number or how severely any of them had been injured.” Harris reportedly visited two hospitals following the accident. Neither the mode of transport nor the reason for the relocation was shared. Rumors swirled online and locally earlier today about the nature of the injury, but details have been difficult to come by and “Antioch police said on Thursday they were still investigating the incident actively.”

Yves Missi tallied 13 points (5-of-15 FGs, 3-of-9 FTs), 14 rebounds and two steals in Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

Having made 67 starts as a rookie, Missi is the most experienced player on New Orleans’ summer league roster. He finished last season with 26 games of 10 rebounds or more, including five of his last six. With the Pelicans selecting Derik Queen, who started alongside Missi on Thursday, in last month’s draft and signing Kevon Looney in free agency, Missi will face more competition for his job than he did last season. However, he has the athleticism and rebounding ability to maintain his place atop the depth chart.

Mets’ manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters after the first game of Thursday’s doubleheader that Jesse Winker (back) will head back to New York for additional testing.

Winker was pulled from the first game of Thursday’s twin bill due to tightness in his back. That was just a couple of days after a lengthy stint on the injured list with a strained oblique. It sounds like the 31-year-old outfielder could be heading right back to the injured list on Friday. If counting on him for fantasy purposes, be sure to keep an eye on his status on Friday.

Derik Queen accounted for 13 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

Given the price New Orleans paid to move up in the draft for Queen, the former Maryland standout will be watched closely. Starting alongside center Yves Missi, he recorded a double-double on Thursday and showed some flashes as a facilitator. Whether New Orleans views him as a four or five, Queen won’t lack opportunities next season, due mainly to Zion Williamson’s injury history. He’ll be more valuable in dynasty drafts than redraft leagues, but that could change early, as the front office’s decision on draft night was a clear sign the Pelicans believe in Queen’s talent.
