Adrien signed with the Timberwolves on Saturday. The NBA granted Minnesota a hardship exception for a 16th roster spot due to having four players out with injury, and Adrien was the beneficiary. Adrien, 28, has averaged 4.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 14.2 minutes so far in his career (136 games) and will merely provide depth at small forward for the Timberwolves.

Adrien was waived by the Rockets on Monday. Adrien signed with the Rockets this summer, but played just 12.3 minutes per game during a mediocre preseason stint with Houston. The four-year pro will now look to catch on elsewhere with a team in need of a rugged rebounder.

Houston Rockets sign F Jeff Adrien. Adrien will sign on a one-year, veteran minimum deal and provide the Rockets with some solid interior depth. The 28-year-old averaged 6.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 0.7 blocks in 18.1 minutes per game with the Bucks during the 2013-14 season and has potential if he gets minutes, but his fantasy value is a bit limited as an end-of-rotation player with the Rockets.

Free agent PF Jeff Adrien has been working out "almost daily" at the Hornets' practice facility in Charlotte. Adrien was traded from Charlotte to Milwaukee in February last season, where he proceeded to carve out a major role after Ersan Ilyasova was ruled out for the season with an ankle injury. Adrien even made 12 starts at PF, averaging 13.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.8 blocks, but he'll need an ideal situation to emerge with reliable fantasy value in 2014-15.

Jeff Adrien had 13 points, a career-high 17 rebounds, two steals and a block in Wednesday's loss to the 'Pacers.' Adrien should have had a good game against the Pacers bench patrol, but he's playing well. He had 19 points and 12 boards on Sunday, and should be in all starting lineups the rest of the way.

Jeff Adrien scored 16 points on 7-of-13 shooting with eight rebounds and no steals or blocks in 27 minutes on Monday against the Pistons. Adrien played just 15 minutes on Saturday but this will help allay some fears that his role in the rotation was slipping. Unfortunately, he's not really providing much fantasy value, averaging just 10.4 points, 6.0 boards and 0.8 combined steals and blocks over the past seven games.

Jeff Adrien played just 15 minutes vs. the Heat on Saturday during a blowout 88-67 loss with four points, three boards, one assist and one steal. The Bucks looked horrible in the first half with just 29 points before recess and coach Larry Drew didn't want to play his starting big men much in the second half. The coach has sung the praises of Adrien all month, so this game should just be thrown out.

Jeff Adrien scored eight points with nine boards, two assists and two blocks in 32 minutes vs. the Lakers on Thursday. Now that Ersan Ilyasova (ankle) is out for the season, Adrien has a clear runway for minutes and looks like the big winner. He has some huge upside potential with per-36-minutes averages of 16.7 points, 12.1 boards, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks on 53.5 percent shooting in his time with the Bucks. The former Bobcat is worth owning in standard leagues right now.

Jeff Adrien will continue to start at PF for the Bucks with Ersan Ilyasova (ankle) ruled out for the season. In his lone start this season, Adrien scored 14 points and grabbed seven rebounds in 32 minutes of action, and his fantasy value is mostly limited to a handful of points, rebounds and steals. His starting job alongside Zaza Pachulia means that John Henson will continue to fill a reserve role, which is disappointing but somewhat predictable since the tanking Bucks are in a race to the bottom with the free-falling 76ers.
