Not listed on injury report McGee (illness) isn't listed on Sacramento's injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Suns.

Impact McGee was sidelined for Thursday's loss to the Pelicans due to an illness but will suit up for the second half of Sacramento's back-to-back set. However, the veteran center isn't guaranteed playing time and hasn't played double-digit minutes since Jan. 29.

Questionable for Thursday McGee is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans due to an illness.

Efficient performance in win McGee chipped in eight points (4-5 FG) and four rebounds over 10 minutes during Monday's 103-94 win over Memphis.

Impact McGee went 4-of-5 from the field, playing exactly 10 minutes for the third time in the past four games. While it is good to see McGee out on the floor, his days of being a fantasy-relevant player are well behind him. Barring an injury to Domantas Sabonis, he is not worth adding in any format.

Decent output off bench in loss McGee finished with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 13 minutes during Monday's 129-93 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact The Kings were woeful on offense Monday, and very few players stood out, though McGee was one of them after putting solid numbers off the bench in limited minutes. Domantas Sabonis is firmly entrenched as the Kings' starting center, and the only reason McGee saw extended minutes in this game was due to the nature of the blowout contest. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to deliver these numbers regularly going forward.

Expected to be let go The Mavericks are expected to stretch-and-waive McGee on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Per Keith Smith of Spotrac.com, McGee is owed approximately $11.7 million over the final two years of the three-year deal he signed with Dallas last offseason, but with the move, Dallas will stretch that amount over five years, meaning McGee will make around $2.3 million through 2027-28. The veteran center appeared in 42 games (seven starts) last year and averaged just 4.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and a career-low 0.6 blocks in 8.5 minutes. Once the transaction is completed, McGee will be free to entertain offers from other teams.
