Ntilikina suited up in five games for the Hornets last season before he was waived at the trade deadline. Now, he’ll head to play in Serbia after seven seasons in the NBA. Fantasy managers won’t have to adjust their draft boards because of this move.

Ntilikina has missed Charlotte’s last four games with a hip issue, so his minutes will likely be restricted. Cody Martin should remain in the starting lineup, with Ntilikina sharing bench minutes with Nick Smith Jr. Neither Ntilikina nor Smith needs to be rostered in most fantasy leagues. Still, the latter is worth adding to watch lists for later in the season.

Ntilikina hasn’t played a large role even when he has been available this season, so his status for this game won’t be relevant to fantasy basketball.

Ntilikina will be back after missing Saturday’s game. With LaMelo Ball out, Ntilikina may see a few minutes off the bench, but it won’t be enough to impact fantasy basketball.
