Impact The 13 dimes were a new career-high mark for Micic at the NBA level, and he seems to keep playing better and better as he grows more comfortable in his role of being a starting point guard.

Impact Micic continues to thrive in his new home in Charlotte, with his 12 assists Wednesday surpassing the previous career high of 10 dimes against the Nets on March 9. Micic was inserted into the starting lineup March 3 due to injuries to LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Seth Curry (ankle).

MARCH 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 20 vs. Orlando Micic registered 20 points (8-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 112-92 loss to Orlando.

Impact Micic didn't provide much outside of scoring Tuesday, but his efficiency from the field was impressive as he managed to record 20-plus points for the third time in his last four games. Micic is averaging 16.0 points on 52.2 percent shooting, 2.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.1 steals over 31.0 minutes per game in March.

MARCH 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 21 points in loss Micic closed with 21 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), one rebound, three assists and one block across 31 minutes during Friday's 107-96 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Micic seems to have taken over the starting point guard role ahead of the final weeks of the regular season, and the veteran has delivered better-than-expected numbers with averages of 16.6 points, 5.9 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game. The Hornets aren't going to the playoffs this season, but Micic could be a valuable addition for fantasy managers in need of a playmaking boost in the fantasy postseason.

MARCH 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Season best outing in victory Micic supplied 25 points (9-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 110-98 victory over Memphis.

Impact Micic had his best performance of the season, connecting on a team-high handful of threes and handing out a team-best assist total while ending as one of two players with 25 or more points in a winning effort. Micic set new season highs in scoring and threes made in the offensive outburst, having posted 20 or more points in two outings. He has now distributed at least eight dimes in four games, including in two of his last three contests.

MARCH 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hot from deep Micic provided 11 points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 114-97 loss to Detroit.

Impact Micic doing damage from beyond the arc is an excellent sign for the Serbian, who entered Monday's contest shooting just 22.7 percent on 2.0 threes per game across 43 appearances. Acclimating to the NBA's longer three-point line is a notable adjustment that Micic and other imports, such as Simone Fontecchio last season, must deal with, but he a candidate for an uptick in efficiency down the stretch.

MARCH 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 14 points with 14 shots Micic posted 14 points (6-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes during Friday's 112-100 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Micic was far from being at his best from an efficiency perspective, but the floor general at least scored in double digits for the third consecutive start. He's logged at least 28 minutes in his last four appearances and has hit double-digit scoring numbers each time, so he might be a decent option as a streaming alternative, particularly in category-based leagues for managers who are in the lookout for a scoring boost.

MARCH 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season-high 21 points Micic provided 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 101-89 loss to Orlando.

Impact Micic drew a second consecutive start for Charlotte, and if he looked solid in his first NBA start against the Raptors on Sunday, he set up the bar even higher with his numbers Tuesday. The 21-point outing was a season-high mark for the guard, and even though he's not likely to repeat these numbers on a sustained basis going forward, the uptick in workload has translated well to better numbers. Micic is averaging 9.8 points, 5.7 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 0.7 steals per game since the trade deadline.

MARCH 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Solid numbers in first NBA start Micic totaled 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 111-106 loss to Toronto.

Impact The 30-year-old rookie got his first career start in the NBA due to all the Hornets' backcourt injuries, and Micic was able to deliver decent production. He's seen a bigger workload over the last 10 games and held his own, scoring in double digits six times while averaging 8.7 points, 5.9 assists and 1.5 boards over 22.9 minutes a contest. Micic also has six steals in the last five games, and if he continues to contribute defensively, he'll have some deep-league fantasy appeal.

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Sunday Micic will start Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Impact With LaMelo Ball (ankle), Seth Curry (ankle) and Cody Martin (ankle) sidelined, Micic will start next to Tre Mann in Charlotte's backcourt. It'll be Micic's first start of his NBA career, but he's been playing well of late, averaging 8.3 points and 5.9 assists in 21.4 minutes over his last nine appearances.

MARCH 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dishes out seven assists Micic posted 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Sunday's 93-80 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Micic debuted with the Hornets on Feb. 10 after being acquired in the trade that sent Gordon Hayward to the Hornets, and the Serbian guard has been a revelation off the bench for Charlotte. Even though he's not going to be a game-changing player and probably won't rack up stats left and right, he's proving to be an accomplished passer when given enough minutes. In six appearances with Charlotte, he's averaging 9.7 points and 6.0 assists per game.

FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shines off bench in team debut Micic notched 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound and nine assists over 26 minutes during Saturday's 115-106 victory over the Grizzlies.

FEBRUARY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't suit up Friday Micic (recently traded) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Micic will be unable to debut for his new team a day after being traded from Oklahoma City to Charlotte. It seems unlikely that he'll have a sizable role with the Hornets, but he could see a slight uptick in playing time after averaging just 12.0 minutes per game over 30 appearances with the Thunder to begin the year.

FEBRUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Included in deal to Charlotte The Thunder are trading Micic, Tre Mann, Davis Bertans and draft compensation to the Hornets in exchange for Gordon Hayward on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Micic has seen a minimal role for the Thunder this season, averaging 3.3 points and 2.5 assists in 12.0 minutes across 30 appearances. The 29-year-old rookie has struggled with his efficiency, posting 40.7/24.4/73.7 shooting splits in 2023-24. While Micic is unlikely to garner much fantasy consideration, he could see an increase in playing time in Charlotte.

FEBRUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Tuesday Micic (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Jazz.

Impact Micic has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a right ankle sprain. Micic is averaging 4.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 13.2 minutes across his last five outings.

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Micic is joined by Cason Wallace (shoulder) and Lindy Waters (ankle) as backcourt depth uncertain to play Tuesday. Isaiah Joe (sternum) has already been ruled out, so the guard rotation is firmly in flux.

Plays 21 minutes in blowout win Micic closed with five points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and seven assists over 21 minutes during Thursday's 128-109 victory over the Warriors.

Impact After appearing in just three of the Thunder's first 10 games, Micic has totaled 40 minutes over the last two matchups despite the Thunder having a completely healthy roster. However, both of those contests were blowouts, allowing Oklahoma City's reserves to see increased playing time. Micic has been solid when given a chance this year, but it'll be difficult for him to carve out a consistent role in the Thunder's crowded and talented rotation.

NOVEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Micic will move back to the bench for Tuesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of the Thunder Wire reports.

Impact The Thunder will roll with their usual starting lineup Tuesday in what could be a dress rehearsal. Micic has made a strong case to open the season as the primary backup point guard.
