In his 36 appearances (16 starts) with Charlotte this season, Micic shot 34.8 percent from the field and averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 21.2 minutes.

The 30-year-old guard is trending toward making his debut Friday for Phoenix.

Impact Micic was having a fine season in Charlotte prior to this trade, appearing in 36 games with averages of 7.5 points, 3.5 assists and 2.4 rebounds. The Hornets are in the early stages of a rebuild, however, while the Suns are built to compete now.

Iffy for Wednesday Micic (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Bucks.

Impact Micic was able to suit up in Monday's loss to Washington after having been deemed questionable due to the left ankle injury, during which he posted 13 points (4-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists and three rebounds across 28 minutes. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) already ruled out, KJ Simpson and Isaiah Wong could see a bump in minutes if Micic is sidelined.

FEBRUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable for Monday Micic (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Micic suffered a left ankle injury in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Nuggets and required assistance to the locker room. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Tre Mann (back) already sidelined, Micic's injury forced KJ Simpson into increased playing time.

Exits game due to left ankle injury Micic suffered a left ankle injury in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Nuggets and was helped to the locker room, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Micic rolled his left ankle while attempting to change direction. He couldn't put any weight on his left leg while being helped off the court, and it doesn't appear likely that he will return to Saturday's game. KJ Simpson should see an uptick in playing time due to Micic's injury.

FEBRUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ties season high with 20 points Micic posted 20 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 112-104 loss to the Clippers.

Impact The 31-year-old point guard tied his season high in scoring while making his second straight start in place of LaMelo Ball (ankle), Micic has taken on a significant role in the Charlotte backcourt over the last five games, starting three of them and averaging 13.8 points, 4.2 assists, 2.6 boards and 2.2 threes in 29.8 minutes a contest as the Hornets juggle their rotation due to the absence of Cody Martin (abdomen).

Serviceable performance in start Micic ended with 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and six assists in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 104-83 loss to the Nets.

Impact Micic moved into the starting lineup, a role that he will likely fill for at least the next week after it was announced LaMelo Ball (ankle) would be re-evaluated in seven days. Although this is another nice opportunity for Micic, there is a chance the Hornets lean more and more into their youth, limiting the time Micic spends on the floor.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact With LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined Wednesday, Micic will make his 12th start of the season for the Hornets. Micic has averaged 11.7 points, 5.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.9 threes in 30.6 minutes over 12 games as a starter this season.

Plays 33 minutes in loss Micic notched 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 112-107 loss to the Lakers.

Impact LaMelo Ball suffered an ankle injury during this game and was unable to return after nine minutes of action. Given Ball's history of ankle issues, it wouldn't be surprising if he missed additional time. Micic will be a popular pickup as a result, as he's averaged 11.7 points, 5.9 assists, 2.9 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 11 starts this season.

Serviceable results in spot start Micic produced 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Saturday's 106-94 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Starting at point guard for the injured LaMelo Ball (wrist), Micic did a serviceable job filling in as Charlotte's floor general with 16 points and four assists from the first unit, but it was Miles Bridges who ultimately saw the largest increase in usage Saturday. Over nine games as a starter this season, Micic has averaged a decent 13.0 points, 6.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes. If Ball remains sidelined for Monday's matchup with the Bulls, who rank 29th in the NBA in points allowed per game (121.8), Micic would be worth a look as a streamer for fantasy managers in need of dimes and treys.

Impact Micic filled in admirably, scoring a team-high 20 points in the absence of LaMelo Ball who was resting as part of his injury management plan. After playing a meaningful role during the time Ball was sidelined, Micic is now likely to feature prominently only when the star point guard is resting or succumbs to another injury.

DECEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
