Contract being guaranteed by Nets The Nets guaranteed Sumner's contract for the remainder of the season Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Sumner has served as a backup point guard for Brooklyn early in the regular season. He'll remain with the club going forward after having his contract guaranteed before Saturday's deadline. Over his first 33 appearances with the Nets, he's averaged 6.8 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 14.4 minutes per game.

Good to go Saturday Sumner (thumb/ankle) is available for Saturday's game versus Charlotte, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Sumner and Ben Simmons (illness) have been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday. The 26-year-old guard is averaging 5.8 points, 2.4 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 13.8 minutes across his last five outings.

Picks up ankle injury Sumner (thumb/ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Charlotte.

Impact Sumner has been downgraded from probable to questionable due to a right thumb contusion and left ankle soreness. If he is unable to play Saturday, his next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with San Antonio.

Likely to play against Charlotte Sumner is probable to play in Saturday's game versus the Hornets due to a right thumb contusion, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Sumner has seen his production drop since the beginning of November, when he made eight consecutive starts. The 26-year-old guard played just four minutes in his most recent outing and has scored in single digits in eight of his last 10 games.

Pops for 16 off bench Sumner finished Wednesday's 143-113 win over the Warriors with 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound and two assists over 27 minutes off the bench.

Impact The Nets led by a whopping 40 points at halftime, and as a result bench players like Sumner got extended run in the second half. The 26-year-old has carved out a modest role in the Brooklyn backcourt lately, scoring 21 points in a spot start Dec. 10 against the Pacers as well, and over his last nine games he's averaging 16.0 minutes, 8.6 points 1.9 assists, 1.8 boards and 1.1 steals while shooting 52.0 percent from the floor.

Produces crooked line in start Sumner finished with 21 points (7-13 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 27 minutes Saturday in the Nets' 136-133 win over the Pacers.

Impact Brooklyn was without all five members of its usual starting five as well as three rotation players for the second half of the back-to-back set, paving the way for Sumner and several other back-end roster types to see massive spikes in playing time. Sumner was able to take advantage of the absences to produce a strong stat line, but he'll likely find himself in a much smaller role as soon as Monday's game against the Wizards. When Brooklyn was at close to full strength for the front end of the back-to-back set Friday in a four-point win over the Hawks, Sumner played just 15 minutes.

Starting Saturday Sumner will start Saturday's game at Indiana, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Impact The former Pacer gets the nod against his former team with Brooklyn resting the vast majority of its regular rotation players. Per 36 minutes this season, Sumner is averaging 17.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.2 steals.

Good to go Wednesday Sumner (upper leg) will be available for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets.

Impact Sumner seemed to be trending in the right direction and will indeed make his return from a one-game absence due to a right glute contusion. He should slot into a bench backcourt role and has averaged 11.8 minutes per game in his last four appearances. However, he's posted just 4.5 points and 1.3 steals per game over that span with very few ancillary stats, so Sumner doesn't warrant a fantasy roster spot in most formats.

DECEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Wednesday Sumner is considered questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest versus the Hornets due to a right glute contusion.

Impact The fact that Sumner is questionable for Wednesday is a good sign after he was immediately ruled out for the previous contest. If he's available, Sumner should return to a contributing role off the bench.

Out Sunday Sumner (glute) will not take the floor Sunday against the Celtics, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Sumner suffered a right glute contusion in Wednesday's game, causing him to exit the contest prematurely and remain out Sunday. Patty Mills and Cam Thomas will likely see larger workloads in his absence. Sumner's next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Hornets.

DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Friday Sumner won't return Friday due to a right glute contusion.

Impact Sumner scored eight points in 14 minutes off the bench before exiting with a right glute contusion. The extent of the injury remains unclear, but at this point, the backup guard can likely be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Celtics.

DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to thrive as starter Sumner provided 18 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 153-121 loss to the Kings.

Impact Sumner has looked impressive since moving to the starting unit and is going through his best stretch of the season after putting up his fourth straight contest with at least 10 points. Ben Simmons returned and came off the bench Tuesday, so there's a chance Sumner might return to a bench role sooner than later, but he's been playing well enough to remain in the first unit. He's averaging 11.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game across seven starts.

Provides spark in starting role Sumner totaled 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3PT, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 112-85 win over the Knicks.

Impact Sumner turned in his best scoring night of the season, and he did so in an impressive manner. He also set new season highs in made threes and rebounds. Sumner has now started five straight contests in place of Kyrie Irving (suspension), and his performance Wednesday is exactly the type of play the Nets need out of the Xavier product moving forward.

Modest production in spot start Sumner logged 11 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 128-86 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Sumner moved into the starting lineup Friday, replacing Kyrie Irving who has been suspended for at least the next five games. For anyone who decided to stream Sumner, the final product was certainly adequate. While he doesn't have a lot of upside, he is at least worth considering as a short-term add in slightly deeper formats.

Enters starting lineup Sumner will start at point guard in place of Kyrie Irving (suspension), Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports

Impact Sumner alternated minutes with Irving in the team's previous game, logging four points and five assists in 22 minutes of action, and earned the role of Irving's replacement. Sumner is a great value in daily formats and is worth a speculative add in deeper leagues for the duration of Irving's suspension.

Productive in limited minutes Sumner notched nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one assist and one steal over six minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Sumner came off the bench early Wednesday and scored seven points in four first-quarter minutes. It was the most points he's scored in a game since May 8, 2021, as he missed all of last season with an Achilles injury. The 26-year-old has scored 15 points in 28 minutes this season while going 6-for-11 from the field.

Available for season opener Sumner (hip) will play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pelicans, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sumner has been recovering from a hip strain over the last week and was unavailable to close out the preseason, but he'll be back in action for the start of the regular season. Joe Harris (ankle), Seth Curry (ankle) and T.J. Warren (foot) will all be sidelined Wednesday, so Sumner should have a chance to see some work off the bench.

Could return for season opener Nets head coach Steve Nash said Sunday that Sumner (hip) "has a chance" to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pelicans, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sumner has been nursing a hip strain that's kept him sidelined during the preseason, but he seems to be making good progress in his recovery. If he's ultimately able to suit up against the Pelicans on Wednesday, he could see some opportunities as a reserve in the Nets' backcourt, considering Joe Harris (ankle) and Seth Curry (ankle) have already been ruled out.
