Impact Milton scored a season-high 22 points, playing at least 20 minutes for the fourth straight game. The Nets are dealing with a few injuries at the moment, presenting Milton with an unexpected opportunity. As long as they are running with limited backcourt resources, Milton could continue to play a meaningful role, albeit off the bench.

Plays 12 minutes in win Milton had five points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 12 minutes during Monday's 106-104 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Through seven appearances, this was Milton's third time seeing minutes in the double digits. He's facing an uphill battle for playing time on a nightly basis, and he remains well off the fantasy radar in most formats for the foreseeable future.

Plays 17 minutes in loss Milton finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 17 minutes during Friday's 116-101 loss to Orlando.

Impact Milton saw meaningful minutes, yet failed to make any noise when it came to tangible production. Despite a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, it doesn't appear as though Milton is going to be afforded a consistent role in Brooklyn. Should he step into a larger role at any point, he would be a name to watch. For now, he can be safely ignored across most formats.

Impact Milton saw his first minutes of the postseason, playing the entire fourth quarter of what was an ugly loss. The series is now tied at 2-2, however, the Pacers have all the momentum heading back to New York. Assuming the next game is a tighter affair, don't expect to see Milton in the rotation.

Impact Milton agreed to a buyout with the Pistons on Friday and needed to wait until he cleared waivers to join the Knicks. While he'll be available Tuesday, Milton isn't guaranteed playing time, though there'll be depth minutes available if Jalen Brunson (knee) is downgraded to out.

To join Knicks Milton will join the Knicks once he clears waivers, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

Impact Milton and the Pistons agreed to a contract buyout Friday, and it didn't take long for the guard to find a new home. Because that transaction happened before the Friday deadline, Milton will be eligible for the playoffs. He's likely looking at a limited role off the bench on his new team.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Bought out by Detroit Detroit and Milton agreed to a contract buyout Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Both sides were able to complete this transaction before the March 1 deadline, so Milton will maintain his playoff eligibility. He's expected to draw interest from several contenders, and it was very clear that he was never really in Detroit's plans since he was acquired from Minnesota.

Impact Milton continues to find his footing with Detroit after being traded at the trade deadline, leading all Pistons bench players in scoring while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and ending one rebound shy of a double-double. Milton set a season high in rebounds, surpassing his previous season-high of six rebounds recorded in the first half of Detroit's back-to-back Tuesday. Milton has tallied at least 10 points in six games, his first game in double figures since posting 12 points Dec. 11 with Minnesota.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Milton (trade pending) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact The Pistons moved Monte Morris in exchange for Milton and Troy Brown, both of whom are questionable to make their debuts. Milton's path to playing time won't be much easier in Detroit, as Marcus Sasser has been playing really well for the Pistons.

Timberwolves trade Troy Brown Jr., Shake Milton and draft pick for Detroit's Monte Morris The deal came ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline, and should help the team with scoring off the bench.

FEBRUARY 7 • STARTRIBUNE.COM

Traded to Detroit Milton has been traded to the Pistons in exchange for Monte Morris, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Milton will join an extremely crowded backcourt in Detroit, where he'll fight for the reserve minutes behind Cade Cunningham with the likes of Killian Hayes, Jaden Ivey, Alec Burks and Marcus Sasser. In other words, Milton will remain a fringe fantasy option in his new location.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Enters rotation Monday Milton provided four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 15 minutes during Monday's 128-125 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Milton played at least 15 minutes for the first time in over a month. With Mike Conley (hamstring) on the sideline, the Timberwolves opted to go with Milton for some guard depth. Despite having a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, Milton has been a non-factor across all leagues this season. Barring a number of injuries to key players, there is no reason to think his role changes any time soon.

Fails to score in three minutes Milton ended with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in three minutes during Friday's 122-95 win over the Rockets.

Impact Milton continues to be used sparingly by the Timberwolves, having played fewer than five minutes in six consecutive games. In fact, he was out of the rotation completely for three of those six games, highlighting what a struggle it has been thus far. Based on his current role, Milton is not even worth considering in deeper formats.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 23 minutes Saturday Milton produced six points (2-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 123-117 win over the Hornets.

Impact Minnesota used an eight-man rotation Saturday in the absence of Anthony Edwards (hip), allowing Milton to match his highest workload of the season. Milton's role has been pretty minimal this campaign, as Nickeil Alexander-Walker's strong play has made it hard for Milton's fantasy value to surface.
