Free agent G/F Mickael Pietrus is no longer attempting to return to the NBA this season.
The 32-year-old turned down offers to play overseas in the hopes that an NBA team would sign him, but that plan never came to fruition. He hopes to train this summer and mount another comeback attempt next year.

Veteran F Mickael Pietrus has turned down 15 offers to play overseas, according to his agent, because he wants to return to the NBA.
"We're open and active, waiting for the best opportunity for Mickael," said his agent. "It's the NBA or bust." Pietrus is only 31 years old and he may well earn a 10-day contract with some team, but either way he's irrelevant for fantasy purposes.

The player rep for free agent G/F Mickael Pietrus says he has a workout scheduled with two undisclosed NBA teams in September.
Pietrus, 31, has previously been linked to the Knicks. His agent claims his client's troublesome knee is back to 100 percent and he's working out in France. Pietrus will have to prove it in workouts to get a look.

The Knicks have contacted free agent Mickael Pietrus.
Pietrus will work out for interested NBA teams when he returns to the U.S. two weeks from now, so nothing is imminent. He played in just 19 games with the Raptors last year, before being shut down by knee tendinitis, and he'd assuredly be signing a minimum-salary contract.

Mickael Pietrus is out indefinitely with left knee tendinitis.
Pietrus is not an option in even extremely deep formats as his knees are simply never healthy.

Mickael Pietrus scored just two points in 21 minutes against the Rockets on Sunday.
Pietrus' minutes have been cut severely since the return of Alan Anderson and he's also been unable to hit double figures in scoring in any of his last four games. He can be let loose in standard leagues.

Mickael Pietrus scored nine points on 3-of-13 shooting (1-of-7 from deep) with three rebounds and one steal in 38 minutes on Monday against the Blazers.
As long as Pietrus is healthy and the Raptors remain banged up, he'll be a good bet to score points and hit 3-point buckets. His knees are on their last lap and he'll be a threat for random DNPs, but there's value to be had here if you're comfortable with the risks.

Mickael Pietrus (knee) will start for the Raptors against the Blazers on Monday.
Pietrus sat out of Sunday's game with left knee tendinitis, but he felt well enough to suit up tonight. There's a good chance that Pietrus' knees might not be able to take back-to-back sets, so just keep that in mind for owners that are looking to ride his hot start with his new team.

Mickael Pietrus (left knee tendinitis) will not play against the Clippers on Sunday.
Pietrus has been plagued by knee problems for quite some time and he's likely going to need some days off here and there. That said, he's been putting up nice numbers so far this year and is worth a look in some leagues. Linas Kleiza will draw a start, but he doesn't have much fantasy value with a health issues of his own.
