Micah Peavy News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Puts up 21 points in loss Peavy accumulated 21 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 41 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 132-126 loss to the Timb...

Impact With most of the regulars out for New Orleans, Peavy again played an expanded role with the first unit. Overall, Peavy was rarely on the fantasy radar this season. Across 61 appearances, he averaged 4.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.5 three-pointers in 15.0 minutes per contest.

Scores 20 points in start Peavy chipped in 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 156-137 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Zion Williamson, Saddiq Bey and Herbert Jones all dressed but did not see the floor for the Pelicans. Peavy made the most of his spot start, and it will be interesting to see if the Pelicans use a similar rotation for the final two games with nothing to play for.

Starting Tuesday Peavy will start Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Zion Williamson, Saddiq Bey and Herbert Jones will all dress but are not expected to play Tuesday, opening the door for Peavy to make his second career start. The rookie second-rounder's lone start came in a loss to Atlanta on Nov. 22, during which he contributed four points, three rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes.

Stuffs stat sheet in loss Peavy posted eight points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 117-113 loss to the Kings.

Impact Peavy saw a rare uptick in minutes Friday as the Pelicans decided to give their bench players an opportunity to show what they can do. He tied his season high in swipes and turned in his best scoring performance since Jan. 21 with the help of two triples. It wouldn't be a surprise for Peavy to see similar opportunities with four games remaining in the regular season, as New Orleans appears focused on developing young talent with little to play for down the stretch.

Sees floor in garbage time Saturday Peavy played one minute in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 115-105 win over the Jazz and logged one rebound.

Impact Peavy had missed four consecutive games due to a right toe sprain before being cleared to play against Utah on Thursday. He was a healthy scratch for that contest but saw the floor late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's rematch. The rookie second-rounder saw his playing time steadily decrease before his most recent injury, but Peavy could be in line for more minutes if Zion Williamson is sidelined for an extended period of time due to an ankle injury that he picked up in Saturday's win.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Thursday Peavy (toe) is available for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Peavy is no longer on the injury report after missing four games in a row. He's likely to be an emergency depth option going forward.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Tuesday Peavy (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Peavy will miss a fourth straight game due to a right toe sprain. The forward hasn't been a regular part of the Pelicans' rotation of late, so his absence shouldn't create much disruption. His next opportunity to suit up will come Thursday against the Jazz.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Peavy (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Philadelphia.

Impact Peavy will miss his third straight game due to a right great toe sprain, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against Golden State. The rookie second-rounder's absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation, though Jordan Hawkins could see a slight uptick in minutes.

Out again Friday Peavy (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Peavy will miss a second straight game while dealing with a right toe sprain. His next chance to take the court will arrive Saturday against Philly.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Wednesday Peavy (toe) will not play Wednesday against Miami.

Impact Peavy has been utilized as an emergency depth option off the bench in recent outings, so his absence won't create many waves in fantasy hoops.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Peavy is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami due to a right great toe sprain.

Impact Peavy has seen his playing time decrease significantly recently, averaging 7.2 minutes with one DNP-CD over the Pelicans' last six outings. He's at risk of missing Wednesday's game altogether because of a toe sprain on his right foot.

Falls out of rotation Peavy (coach's decision) didn't receive any playing time in Monday's 102-95 loss to the Hornets.

Impact With interim head coach James Borrego trimming the rotation down to nine Monday, Peavy found himself as the odd man out. The rookie second-round pick had appeared in each of the Pelicans' previous seven games but didn't make a strong case for retaining a regular role on the second unit, as he averaged just 4.9 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.0 assists in 15.9 minutes per contest while shooting 38.9 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range over that stretch.

Busts out in loss Peavy recorded 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Peavy turned in the best game of his young career, setting season-high marks in points, threes, rebounds and steals. With Zion Williamson exiting early due to illness, it was Peavy who filled the void. While this performance should probably be viewed as nothing more than an outlier, it wouldn't be surprising to see him step into a larger role down the stretch, if and when New Orleans opts to throw in the towel.

Falls out of rotation Peavy (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Wednesday's 116-113 loss to the Nets.

Impact The rookie second-round pick had appeared in each of the Pelicans' last 14 contests while averaging 14.9 minutes per contest, but he shot just 35.8 percent from the field and 27.6 percent from three-point range. Perhaps as a direct result of Peavy's lack of efficiency, the Pelicans opted to drop him from the rotation Wednesday while Jordan Hawkins and Bryce McGowens served as the team's backup wings and Karlo Matkovic served as the backup power forward. Peavy's chances of reclaiming minutes won't get any easier moving forward, as the Pelicans will eventually get Herbert Jones (ankle) and Jose Alvarado (oblique) back from injuries.

Strong line in loss Peavy provided 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 117-100 loss to Atlanta.

Impact The Pelicans were missing multiple players Wednesday, including Herbert Jones (ankle) and Trey Murphy (back). Both of those guys are presumed to be day-to-day, however. Peavy has been relatively quiet lately, posting averages of 5.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.5 three-pointers over his last four outings.
