Joe Harris Announces His Retirement

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, veteran forward Joe Harris announced his retirement. The 2014 No. 33 overall pick spent a decade in the National Basketball Association. He appeared in 504 regular-season contests throughout his career, averaging 10.3 points with the Cavs, Nets, and Pistons. However, Harris will be remembered most for his efficient three-point shooting, with the 32-year-old draining 43.6% of his attempts from behind the arc.

Stephen Curry Hasn't Shown Signs Of "Panic"

According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry hasn't "expressed any signs of panic or unrest" with the team's offseason moves. Although that could be the case, at least for now, Curry's willingness to extend his contract may paint a better picture regarding his future with the club. It hasn't been the Summer the Warriors had envisioned, with Klay Thompson ending his lengthy tenure with the organization to sign with the Mavericks. Golden State was also unsuccessful in signing free agent Paul George or trading for Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen. That said, Curry appears to have gas left in the tank, considering he was instrumental in helping Team USA capture Olympic gold in Paris. The 36-year-old is coming off a quality season, averaging 26.4 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds. He also shot 40.6% from deep and appeared in 74 contests, his most since 2016-17. Fantasy managers should expect some bumps in the road while Curry adjusts to life with new teammates Kyle Anderson and Buddy Hield. However, he still has familiar faces in Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, and Jonathan Kuminga, so there's no reason he can't remain a top fantasy producer throughout the 2024-25 campaign as long as he stays healthy.

Warriors Plan To Talk Extension With Jonathan Kuminga

According to Golden State Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr., there are plans to discuss a contract extension with forward Jonathan Kuminga. The 2021 No. 7 overall pick had the best season of his career in 2023-24, averaging 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. He also made 46 appearances in the starting lineup, more than his first two seasons combined. With Klay Thompson now in Dallas, the door is open for others to step up offensively behind Stephen Curry, who could also ink an extension of his own in the near future. With that in mind, Kuminga's pre-draft fantasy ranking is higher than ever. However, there are things he must address, specifically his career-low 32.1% shooting from the three-point line from last season. But with a max contract potentially on the line, Kuminga have plenty of motivation to produce.

Jericho Sims Has Contract Fully Guaranteed

New York Knicks forward/center Jericho Sims had his $2.1 million contract for the 2024-25 campaign fully guaranteed by the team. The 25-year-old has appeared in 138 regular-season games for New York since he was taken as the No. 58 overall pick in 2021. However, he has struggled to find a spot in the rotation and has averaged just 2.6 points and 3.3 rebounds. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) potentially missing time to begin the year, Sims could get minutes. Yet, there's a chance Julius Randle (shoulder) and Precious Achiuwa split time underneath the rim while Mitchell recovers, meaning Sims could remain the odd man out.

Kenneth Lofton Jr. Signs With Chicago

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, free-agent forward/center Kenneth Lofton Jr. signed a one-year deal with the Bulls. Lofton has already played for three teams in his first two seasons in the league. However, he has averaged just 4.8 points in 45 games with the Grizzlies, 76ers, and Jazz. While he has a chance to earn a spot on the Bulls' opening night roster, he'll likely spend most of his time on the bench if he makes the team.
