Agbaji is in danger of missing three of his team's previous five games after failing to return from the hand laceration he suffered against the Celtics. Bruce Brown is finally healthy enough to play and could absorb some of Agbaji's reserve minutes if he's ruled out.
Agbaji suffered a hand injury in the second quarter against the Celtics Wednesday. The 24-year-old small forward received three stitches on his right hand and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. There's no timetable for his return at the moment.
IQ was a late addition to the injury report and has now been ruled out. Bruce Brown and Jamal Shead played well off the bench in their last game, and one of them should fill the void in the starting unit, with Ochai Agbaji and Davion Mitchell potentially returning to the rotation.
Agbaji missed Thursday's game against the Cavaliers with a back injury, but he's set to return Saturday against the Pistons. His return will likely mean less minutes for Bruce Brown and Ja'Kobe Walter off the bench, which isn't significant for fantasy basketball.
After missing their last game, Agbaji was initially listed as doubtful for this game, but there is now a chance that he suits up. His return would likely take away some minutes from Bruce Brown and Ja'Kobe Walter off the bench.
