Cleared to play Saturday Agbaji (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Philadelphia.

Impact As expected, Agbaji has been upgraded from probable to available, and despite being left out of the rotation the past two games, he could reclaim minutes versus Phildelphia.

Probable for Saturday Agbaji (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact The Nets are going to be very shorthanded Saturday, so there is a path to plenty of minutes for Agbaji. The Nets have been spreading them out pretty evenly on the wings, however.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 18 points in win Agbaji closed with 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 126-115 win over Memphis.

Impact Agbaji had his best game since arriving in Brooklyn, taking advantage of what was a favorable matchup. The 18 points represented a season-high for Agbaji, who to this point, has not even been an every-night part of the rotation for the Nets. We would need to see more of this before declaring him a viable standard league asset.
