The two-way player hasn't made an appearance with Golden State yet this year, but Johnson notes that Key is a strong candidate for the Warriors' 15th roster spot before the NBA playoffs begin.

Impact The Warriors had an additional two-way spot on the roster after converting Pat Spencer's contract to a standard deal.

Impact Key spent the 2023-24 season on a two-way contract with the Nuggets and has played in The Association with the 76ers and Pistons in the past. That said, he's a long shot to make the roster and should end up playing in the G League.

In his third professional season in 2023-24, Key appeared in 20 games for the Nuggets and averaged 1.1 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 3.0 minutes per contest, with most of his limited opportunities coming in garbage-time scenarios.

Sighted in garbage time Key contributed no counting stats in one minute during Friday's 111-98 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Key, along with his fellow bench warmers, played the final minute of the game Friday. He has yet to play more than six minutes in any game this season, instead serving as a regular member of the cheer squad. Unfortunately, cheering does not translate into fantasy value.

FEBRUARY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from injury report Key (illness) is absent from the Nuggets' final injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Key was given a probable designation prior to Friday's game, so it is not surprising to see him available ahead of tipoff. Barring any setbacks, he will be available in a reserve role should his services ultimately get called upon.

FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Friday Key (illness) is probable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Sits Thursday with illness Key was a late scratch ahead of Thursday's 130-110 win over the Wizards with an illness, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact With the game turning into a blowout, Key likely would have gotten some run late in the contest if he had been healthy enough to play, but the illness foiled those plans. The two-way player has made 15 appearances for Denver this season, averaging 1.1 points and 0.8 rebounds in 3.4 minutes per contest.

Impact After stints with Philadelphia and Detroit, Key arrives in Denver to vie for a roster spot, which is unlikely at this juncture despite an excellent outing during Tuesday's loss. He's a likely G League candidate who could possibly earn a two-way contract.
