Flynn hasn’t played since his stint with the Pistons in 2023-24. Charlotte is short on point guards but there’s been no indication that Flynn will play a significant role and impact fantasy basketball.

After failing to establish themselves as NBA players with their initial teams, Flynn (Raptors) and Boston (Clippers) were in Spurs training camp this fall. Unfortunately, neither could do enough to justify sticking in San Antonio. Once Flynn and Boston clear waivers, they will be unrestricted free agents.

Flynn, a 2020 first-round pick of the Raptors, has failed to lock down consistent rotation minutes at any of his three stops (Toronto, New York, and Detroit). With San Antonio signing Chris Paul and still having young guards such as Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley on the roster, Flynn faces long odds of achieving fantasy relevance next season.

Flynn came out of nowhere in this game and exploded for a career-high 50 points. He shattered his previous career-high of 27, and he became just the third player in NBA history to score at least 50 points while coming off the bench, joining Jamal Crawford and Nick Anderson. He has had some solid performances as a reserve recently, though none of them compare to what he did in this game. Detroit plays a back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, and there is certainly a chance that Cade Cunningham misses at least one of those games, which would allow for Flynn to see extended minutes.
