Roddy (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus New York.
Roddy could profile as key wing depth Wednesday night with De'Andre Hunter (knee), Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and Vit Krejci (thigh) all amid extended absences. Roddy has shown efficiency throughout six appearances this season, averaging 10.5 points and 5.3 rebounds on 56.4/44.4/84.6 percent shooting in 25.5 minutes per game.

Hawks' David Roddy: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Roddy (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
De'Andre Hunter (knee) is also questionable, so the Hawks could potentially be very shorthanded. If both players are unable to go, Rowland reports that Larry Nance may have to spend some time at power forward for Atlanta.

Hawks' David Roddy: Scores 17 points in spot start
Rotowire
Roddy tallied 17 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to Washington.
Roddy was inserted into the Hawks' starting five Wednesday due to Dyson Daniels (hip) being ruled out. Roddy ended up tied with No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher for third-most points on the Hawks behind Trae Young (35) and Jalen Johnson (21). Even if Daniels returns for Friday's game against Sacramento, Roddy should see plenty of playing time as Atlanta is extremely shorthanded due to injuries.

Hawks' David Roddy: Future option declined
Rotowire
Roddy's 2025-26 team option was declined by Atlanta on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Roddy has been sharp across two appearances with Atlanta, compiling 19 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in 39 minutes. His $4.8 million cap hit is enough for Atlanta to send them to free agency at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, however.

Hawks' David Roddy: Scores nine off bench
Rotowire
Roddy accumulated nine points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to the Wizards.
Due to injuries to Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and De'Andre Hunter (knee), Roddy has been able to get some rotation minutes in two straight games. He's been solid for the most part, averaging 9.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 19.5 minutes during that small sample size.

Suns' David Roddy: Fading from relevance
Rotowire
Roddy scored two points (1-1 FG) in five minutes during Monday's 117-111 victory over Cleveland.
Roddy has logged double-digit minutes only once across eight appearances since being dealt to Phoenix at the trade deadline. The second-year wing failed to make an impact while Eric Gordon (knee) and Josh Okogie (abdomen) are unavailable bodes extremely poorly for his rest-of-season outlook. Memphis moving on from Roddy less than two full campaigns after drafting him in the first round symbolizes his struggle to carve out a niche in the league thus far.

Suns' David Roddy: Available against Warriors
Rotowire
Roddy (trade pending) will be available for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Royce O'Neale is also available to make his debut, and he's more likely to carve out a meaningful role in Phoenix. Roddy made 48 appearances for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 8.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 three-pointers. He shot 40.2 percent from the field and 30.1 percent from beyond the arc, however.

Suns' David Roddy: Sent to Phoenix
Rotowire
Roddy was traded from the Grizzlies to the Suns on Thursday as part of a three-team trade that sent draft-pick compensation to Memphis and Royce O'Neale to Phoenix, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Roddy saw consistent playing time for the Grizzlies for most of the first half of the season, and he saw increased work in recent matchups since Memphis was dealing with multiple injuries. Over 48 appearances this year, he's averaged 8.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 23.2 minutes per game. He'll now move to a playoff contender that has also acquired O'Neale ahead of Thursday's deadline, but Roddy has proven to be capable of providing scoring and rebounding production off the bench when needed.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Enters starting lineup
Rotowire
Roddy is starting Sunday's game versus Boston.
Roddy, GG Jackson and Luke Kennard represent the only healthy Grizzlies on the wings Sunday. Roddy has averaged 10.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 12 games as a starter this season, but Sunday's adverse circumstances should yield additional usage.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Starting against Heat
Rotowire
Roddy will start Wednesday's game against Miami.
Roddy will step into the first unit for the 10th time this season due to the Grizzlies' lengthy injury report. Filling out the remainder of the starting five are Jacob Gilyard, John Konchar, Vince Williams and Jaren Jackson, meaning Roddy should have an expanded offensive role. In his last seven appearances, Roddy is averaging 11.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Back to bench
Rotowire
Roddy will return to the bench for Monday's game against the Warriors, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
With Jaren Jackson (knee) returning, Roddy will go back to playing with the second unit. Roddy was serviceable in his lone start due to Jackson's absence, putting up 14 points, four rebounds, two steals and an assist over a season-high 35 minutes.

Roddy will start Saturday's game against the Knicks.
Jaren Jackson (knee) is out for the second leg of this back-to-back set, leaving the Grizzlies thin in the frontcourt. In addition to starting at the four, Roddy is expected to see a handful of minutes as the backup center, according to coach Taylor Jenkins.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Scores 15 off bench
Rotowire
Roddy finished with 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-8 FT) and two assists across 29 minutes during Thursday's 142-105 loss to the Nuggets.
Roddy scored in double figures in just one of his 10 appearances before Thursday's matchup, but he saw an increased role off the bench during Thursday's blowout loss. Despite his uptick in playing time against the Nuggets, Roddy's role has decreased in recent games, and he doesn't hold much fantasy value.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Fills stat sheet off bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Roddy produced 17 points (6-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 134-107 loss to the Lakers.
The nature of the game allowed the Grizzlies' reserves to play more than they usually do, and Roddy was one of the players that took advantage of the opportunity to deliver a strong fantasy line. However, this was just the third time he scored in double digits this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from him going forward.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Back to bench
Rotowire
Roddy will not start in Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Roddy was moved into the starting lineup for Memphis' previous matchup, in which he posted 16 points and three rebounds, but he will be moved back to the bench in favor of Xavier Tillman. It would not be surprising to see Memphis' starting lineup continue to change with their struggles to start the season.

Grizzlies' David Roddy: Posts 16 points, but little else
Rotowire
Roddy registered 16 points (8-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and three rebounds across 32 minutes in Friday's 115-113 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Roddy entered the starting five in place of Xavier Tillman, who moved to the bench while the Grizzlies favored more of a small-ball lineup featuring Jaren Jackson at center. As a result of the promotion to the top unit, Roddy was able to clear the 30-minute mark for the first time in 2023-24, and though he also posted a new season-high in scoring, his contributions were lacking in other areas. It's unclear if Roddy will stick in the starting five moving forward or if Friday's lineup configuration was a one-game experiment, but the second-year player is likely to face a threat for playing time sooner or later when Santi Aldama (ankle) is cleared to make his season debut.
