Malachi Flynn News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Likely to see floor Friday Head coach Nick Nurse suggested Friday that Flynn will likely see some minutes Friday versus the Nets, Eric Smith of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Impact Flynn hasn't seen action in any of the last three games, but it appears Nurse will make a concerted effort to get him on the floor at some point Friday. Even so, Flynn has played no more than six minutes in any of his past five appearances, so it may not be more than a brief spell.

Coming off bench vs. Mavs Flynn will come off the bench Saturday against the Mavericks, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Flynn heads back to the bench with Fred VanVleet returning. In Flynn's past four games off the bench, he's averaged 12.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 19.5 minutes.

Produces with increased workload Flynn supplied 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 28 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 124-122 overtime loss to Atlanta.

Impact Flynn saw a season high in minutes due to an injured Toronto backcourt, and he came through with his best scoring and rebounding performance of the 2022-23 campaign. He continues to find success from beyond the arc, where he's knocked down nine of his last 19 attempts from deep. Flynn should see more playing time until Gary Trent (hip) and Dalano Banton (ankle) are cleared to return.

Young hits Griffin for OT buzzer-beater, Hawks top Raptors

Fills it up in limited action Flynn produced 12 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 15 minutes during Monday's 115-111 win over the Pistons.

Impact With Fred VanVleet (illness), Gary Trent (hip) and Pascal Siakam (groin) out, Flynn saw increased usage. Despite playing just 15 minutes, he had his best performance of the season, though teammate Dalano Banton stole the show with 27 points, four boards, four dimes, three steals and two blocks. Flynn, the 29th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, has seen spot action throughout his career and only makes for a streaming candidate, mostly in deeper leagues, when the Raptors are dealing with injuries.

Scores eight points in 23 minutes Flynn logged eight points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Saturday's 118-104 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Flynn logged a season-high 23 minutes in the loss, highlighting just how sporadic his playing time has been. It took a number of injuries for him to move into a meaningful role, something that is only going to stick for a short while. Despite this performance, he is not worth adding outside of the deepest formats.

Report: Raptors Pick Up Malachi Flynn's 4th Year Option The Toronto Raptors have reportedly picked up Malachi Flynn’s fourth-year option, keeping him under contract through 2024

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Fourth-year option picked up The Raptors picked up Flynn's $3.87 million option for the 2023-24 season Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Flynn didn't play during the preseason after undergoing surgery to address a left cheekbone fracture, but he's available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Cleveland. The 24-year-old took a slight step back in his production last year but will remain under contract with the Raptors for at least the next two seasons.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Wednesday Flynn will play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Cavaliers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Impact Flynn underwent surgery to address a left checkbone fracture this offseason and didn't play during the preseason. However, he appeared to be trending in the right direction when he recently returned to practice donning a mask, which he'll likely wear during Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The third-year guard figures to compete with Dalano Banton for the top guard spot off the bench behind Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent during the 2022-23 campaign.

Practices with mask Flynn (face) participated in Sunday's practice while wearing a mask, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact The extent of Flynn's participation remains unclear, but it's an encouraging sign to see him continuing to take steps in his rehab following surgery to address a left checkbone fracture. His status for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Cavaliers remains unclear, but when available, he figures to garner a modest reserve role.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back soon Raptors coach Nick Nurse said Thursday that Flynn (face) should be back to full-contact practices next week, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Flynn has not played this preseason after undergoing a procedure to address a left cheekbone fracture. Flynn will return to full practices contact right in time for the Raptors' regular-season opener on Oct. 19. If Flynn is able to return in time, he will likely be one of the team's primary backups at guard.

Impact Flynn suffered the injury in question during the third quarter of Sunday's preseason game against the Jazz. He'll likely sit out the Raptors' next three preseason contests, but he could be ready to go for the exhibition finale Oct. 14 if he's made enough progress in his recovery from the procedure. Even though Flynn doesn't look as though he'll be at much risk of missing regular-season time, his injury is less than ideal due to the Raptors' lack of established backcourt depth.

Struggles from field Sunday Flynn ended Sunday's 105-94 loss to New York with 10 points (4-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 28 minutes.

Impact Flynn had a decent game off the bench and ended up as one of three Toronto players who scored in double digits in the loss. Expect him to remain as a bench piece once the playoffs start, as Fred VanVleet is firmly entrenched as the team's starting point guard, so Flynn will compete with Armoni Brooks for backup minutes in the postseason.
