Malaki Branham DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Antonio Spurs guard Malaki Branham (ankle) is considered questionable again on Monday for their game against the Sacramento Kings. The former first-round pick was unable to play in their last contest on Saturday due to the same ankle issue, so it's unclear if he'll be able to suit up or not. Tre Jones (ankle) remains sidelined as well, so if Branham can't give it a go, Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell will see some heavy minutes while Blake Wesley gets some opportunities too.

San Antonio Spurs guard Malaki Branham (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's contest versus the Utah Jazz. The 2022 No. 20 overall pick recorded a season-high 17 points in Thursday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. But he tweaked his ankle late in the game and is now questionable against a Jazz team with only one victory during the 2024-25 campaign. Branham has played relatively well this season. However, he's not a consistent fantasy producer, and even if he plays, his outlook won't be as favorable if Devin Vassell (foot) is back on the floor.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Malaki Branham (ankle) is unlikely to play Thursday versus Milwaukee. The team has listed him as doubtful for the game after Branham sprained his right ankle in Tuesday's clash with the Grizzlies. Branham played just seven minutes on Tuesday, and the injury ended a nice run of double-digit scoring he had enjoyed. The 20-year-old has done well this season, even getting regular looks as a starter. He's recorded 10.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in the role. Tre Jones and Blake Wesley figure to be more involved without Branham, although San Antonio's rotation can be very unpredictable, and you never really know what Gregg Popovich is planning.

San Antonio Spurs guard Malaki Branham (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He started and played the first seven minutes before exiting the game due to a right ankle injury. The severity of the injury is unknown, so fantasy managers will have to check back for another update. His absence will likely free up additional playing time for Blake Wesley. It also means that Keldon Johnson will likely shift back to the starting unit, assuming Branham misses time. Johnson should already be rostered in most leagues, but a move to the starting five would boost his fantasy value.
