Anthony Bennett has been excused from the Cavaliers to deal with a family health issue in Toronto. Bennett is recovering from a strained patellar tendon so his absence won't impact the Cavs' rotations. He was ruled out for approximately three weeks back on March 10 but there is no indication that he's nearing a return to the court.

An MRI on Monday revealed Anthony Bennett is dealing with a left patellar tendon strain and he will be out for approximately three weeks. He has been dealing with knee soreness since Late February and the Cavs finally know why. Bennett's minutes have fallen off and he's also lost a step after he was showing at least some shred of potential about a month ago. Fantasy owners can cut him everywhere.

Anthony Bennett returned from knee soreness on Saturday, playing nine minutes for four points and two boards. His knee soreness kept him out of the lineup on Friday and there's a good chance it did not affect his minutes. Bennett has lost some run due to Spencer Hawes taking no time to get acclimated and has no fantasy value right now.

Anthony Bennett (knee) will dress vs. the Grizzlies on Saturday.

Anthony Bennett (right knee soreness) will not play against the Jazz on Friday. He will travel for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies and should be considered questionable. Bennett's playing time has taken a serious hit since Spencer Hawes has arrived, so there's no reason to own him in almost any format.

Anthony Bennett played 17 minutes against the Wizards on Sunday with four points and four boards. His minutes have dropped to the teens for three straight and the arrival of Spencer Hawes should not help his playing time. It was nice to see Bennett get a couple double-doubles earlier this month, but he's likely going to go off the grid in fantasy leagues for a while.

Anthony Bennett came off the bench for 10 points and a career-high 11 rebounds in 24 minutes on Tuesday. He disappeared on Wednesday with two points and two rebounds, but had 19 points and 10 rebounds on Tuesday before the All-Star break. He could be getting ready to go on a run for the Cavs, but he obviously looks like a safer fantasy option any time Anderson Varejao is out. And as it stands, AV doesn't look likely to play again on Wednesday, either.

Anthony Bennett played just 15 minutes and hit 1-of-4 shots for two points and two rebounds on Wednesday. Oops. He went off for 19 points, 10 rebounds and three 3-pointers on Tuesday night, and we suggested picking him up. There's still a good chance the Cavs turn him loose after the All-Star break, but after tonight's line, he's simply more of a luxury-own than a must-own.

Anthony Bennett came off the bench for career highs of 19 points and 10 rebounds, and also had a steal and three 3-pointers on 6-of-9 shooting in 30 minutes on Tuesday. He was 3-of-3 from downtown, but hit just 4-of-9 free throws. His minutes are on the rise and he could make a run at a starting job at some point after the All-Star break. Tristan Thompson bounced back from a bad game with one of his best of the season, but Bennett also looked great tonight. If you have someone you've been wanting to cut, picking up Bennett could pay off in the future. Bennett has hit double figures in scoring in three of his last five games, but also played just six minutes on Sunday before tonight's explosion.

Anthony Bennett played down the stretch at power forward against the Lakers on Wednesday, scoring 14 points, eight boards, one assist and two steals in 22 minutes. It was his second best game of his career and he's starting to get better. Believe it or not, Bennett averaged 9.2 points, 4.6 boards, 0.8 steals, 0.6 steals and 0.6 triples on 37.8 percent shooting over his last five. The rookie is still fouling way too much and is unlikely to have the stamina to play more than 27 minutes on a regular basis. He's only worth a pick for owners with dead weight on their rosters.
