Maurice Harkless News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets

Ruled out Wednesday Harkless (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Timberwolves, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact Harkless left Tuesday's game early with the ankle injury that will now keep him from playing Wednesday. With Marvin Bagley also sidelined, Chimezie Metu and Harrison Barnes should see an uptick in playing time. Harkless' next chance to return will be Saturday against the Wizards.

Unlikely to play Wednesday Harkless (ankle) is doubtful Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Impact Harkless exited Tuesday's game with a sprained right ankle, so it's not surprising that he'll likely sit out one day later. It remains to be seen how the frontcourt shakes out with Marvin Bagley (ankle) questionable and Domantas Sabonis' (recently traded) status murky.

Exits with ankle injury Harkless won't return to Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to a right ankle injury, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports. He finished the game with six points (2-...

Impact With the Kings playing the Timberwolves again Wednesday, Harkless should be considered questionable for that contest. If Harkless is sidelined, how the minutes at power forward will shake out will also depend on the availability of Richaun Holmes (personal), Domantas Sabonis (recently acquired) and Marvin Bagley (ankle).

Notches double-double Saturday Harkless closed with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 victory over Oklahoma City.

Impact Harkless led Sacramento in rebounding and registered his first double-double of the campaign in the victory. He was strictly a bench player as of a week ago, but the veteran has started four straight contests and is averaging 15.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.7 three-pointers, 2.7 steals and 1.3 blocks over his past three games. Those numbers -- especially the triples and steals -- are certainly worth short-term fantasy consideration, though Harkless could return to a bench role when Marvin Bagley (ankle) is able to return.

Tallies six steals Thursday Harkless supplied 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and six steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 126-114 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Harkless made his third straight start for Sacramento and came through with his best performance of the campaign. The veteran forward's 18 points were his most this season, and his six thefts tied a career high. Harkless has registered double-digit points in two straight contests after failing to reach that achievement in his previous 19 appearances.

Starting Monday Harkless will start Monday's game against the Knicks, James Ham of ESPN 1320 in Sacramento reports.

Impact With Marvin Bagley (ankle) out, the Kings will shuffle the lineup and go with Harkless at power forward alongside Richaun Holmes and Harrison Barnes. Harkless has been in and out of the rotation for much of the season, but he's played at least 12 minutes in each of his last four appearances. Nonetheless, he's not much of a fantasy option in most formats.

Plays 20 minutes off bench Harkless supplied five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 121-104 loss to the Hawks.

Impact With Chimezie Metu (knee) and Terence Davis (wrist) sidelined, Harkless played 20 minutes off the bench, which is the most playing time he's seen since Dec. 22. However, the veteran forward failed to make a substantial enough impact to be fantasy relevant moving forward.
