Bassey registered three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 15 minutes during Monday's 114-106 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Bassey was brought in on a 10-day deal with Memphis already dealing with a rash of injuries, and he was able to immediately establish himself as an impactful player in the rotation. He helped the Grizzlies win the rebounding battle 49-43, and he provided numerous second-chance opportunities, with five of his 10 rebounds coming on the offensive end. He's on the radar in deep leagues.

The Grizzlies intend to sign Bassey to a 10-day hardship contract, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old center will join the Grizzlies to provide short-term frontcourt depth with Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (knee) sidelined. Bassey appeared in a career-high 36 regular-season games (one start) with the Spurs last season, during which he averaged 4.4 points and 4.2 rebounds across 10.4 minutes per contest.

The Hawks waived Bassey on Saturday, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite a strong showing at training camp, Bassey was unable to make Atlanta's final roster. He'll likely draw some interest from around the NBA following this transaction.

Bassey had seven points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 17 rebounds, five blocks, two steals and one assist in 31 minutes during Monday's preseason win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Following a successful Summer League stint with the Celtics, Atlanta signed Bassey during the offseason, presumably to provide the team with more frontcourt depth. He reminded everyone just what he can do during the win, dominating the glass, while also recording seven combined steals and blocks. While this was a strong performance, it should be noted that the Hawks rested the entire starting five, as well as number of rotation pieces.

The Hawks signed Bassey on Wednesday, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bassey is now in line to serve as frontcourt depth behind Onyeka Okongwu and Mouhamed Gueye for the Hawks in 2025-26. That said, Bassey is not a guarantee to open the new season with a stable role off the bench. Last year for the Spurs, the 2021 second-rounder averaged 4.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 10.4 minutes per game across 36 regular-season appearances.

Bassey finished with 22 points (8-12 FG, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, two steals and three blocks across 22 minutes during Sunday's 94-81 Summer League win against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Bassey put on a show Sunday in the Las Vegas Summer League, as he was getting it done on both ends of the floor. The Western Kentucky product has no shortage of experience, having played for the 76ers and Spurs over the last four years, but he's now in limbo as he tries to prove his worth and secure another deal to remain in the league for the 2025-26 campaign.

Bassey (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bassey was initially listed as questionable for this matchup, but the big man will give it a go and play off the bench against one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. Bassey is set to return from a two-game absence, but given that he's made just three appearances since the All-Star break, he won't have a lot of upside across all fantasy formats.

Bassey (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bassey has missed the last two games for the Spurs due to a left knee contusion, but he could return to the floor Friday against Cleveland. However, Bassey doesn't hold much fantasy value, as he averages only 10.6 minutes per game this season for San Antonio.

Bassey (rest) will not play Wednesday against Denver, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bassey played in his first game since Feb. 23 against the Warriors on Sunday, but now he'll miss his second game in a row for injury management. He'll likely be available to play Friday against Denver, though he's not guaranteed any minutes.

Bassey has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Magic due to left knee injury management.

EDGE Analysis

This appears to be a scheduled off night for Bassey, who logged 10 minutes Sunday in his first game action since Feb. 23. Assuming he emerged from Sunday's matchup feeling strong, he'll presumably be available for the second half of the team's back-to-back Wednesday in Denver.
