Kris Dunn Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the L.A. Clippers vs Thunder game on Thursday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 6, 2025
Scoreless in Friday's loss
Dunn posted zero points (0-1 FG), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Friday's 107-98 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
The veteran guard continues to see his role and minutes shrink as the struggling Clippers search for answers. While Dunn did make his 17th straight start as he helps to fill in for the absence of Bradley Beal (hip), he failed to see 30 minutes for a third straight game, and he's failed to score in double digits 13 times during those 17 contests -- although Friday's goose egg on just one shot attempt represented his worst production yet in 2025-26. Younger players like 2025 second-round pick Kobe Sanders and 2024 second-round pick Cam Christie could muscle Dunn out of the starting five at some point if coach Tyronn Lue decides his lineup needs a spark.
Dec 2, 2025
Fares well in loss
Dunn notched 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 140-123 loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
The Clippers are a mess right now, but Dunn continues to start in the backcourt and remains a viable asset in deeper fantasy formats. Across 21 regular-season appearances, Dunn holds averages of 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 26.4 minutes per contest.
Nov 26, 2025
Ejected Tuesday
Dunn was assessed two technical fouls and ejected in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the Lakers, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn got into an altercation with multiple Lakers players and was sent to the locker room early. He'll finish with 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three assists and one steal across 30 minutes. Despite leaving early, the 31-year-old posted a season-high mark in points after scoring in single digits in each of the Clippers' last seven games.
Nov 24, 2025
Scores nine in loss
Dunn totaled nine points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Sunday's 120-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has not been very productive on the offensive end, averaging just 6.9 points over 26.8 minutes in 11 starts, but he has been a reliable defensive anchor on the perimeter, averaging 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks in that span. Dunn will likely remain in the starting lineup indefinitely since Bradley Beal (hip) will not return this season.
Nov 18, 2025
Dishes five assists in loss
Dunn contributed seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 110-108 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has not exactly stuffed the stat sheet since joining the starting lineup, averaging 7.1 points, 3.4 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 0.5 blocks and 0.8 threes over 27.6 minutes in his last eight games, but he is needed as the Clippers are currently dealing with a slew of injuries. While Dunn doesn't shoot the ball a lot or provide much offensive value, he plays great defense and will continue to guard the opponent's best player moving forward.
Nov 13, 2025
Quiet in 15 minutes
Dunn recorded three points (1-4 FG, 1-1 FT), two assists and one steal across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 130-116 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
This was a dud by Dunn's standards and the Clippers quickly went away from him Wednesday with the score getting out of hand. Things are going south quickly in Los Angeles, and the rotation could be a mess for a while as the team adjusts to life without Bradley Beal (hip) and Kawhi Leonard (ankle) -- Beal is done for the season and Leonard remains day-to-day.
Nov 4, 2025
Starting Tuesday
Dunn is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn is getting the spot-start with Bradley Beal (rest) unavailable, so he's on the radar as a potential streaming option. Per-36 minutes this season, Dunn is averaging 11.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.6 triples and 2.6 steals per contest.
Nov 4, 2025
Strong line off bench
Dunn accumulated 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and three steals in 23 minutes during Monday's 120-119 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Dunn seems to have pulled away from Chris Paul as the top guard option off the bench, while Bogdan Bogdanovic continues to be the odd man out. Through six games, Dunn holds averages of 7.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 22.8 minutes per contest. He's doing enough to warrant a roster spot in deeper formats.
Oct 22, 2025
Not starting Wednesday
Dunn is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn started in Friday's preseason finale with James Harden (rest) sitting out, but with all the main guys healthy for Opening Night, Dunn will return to a reserve role. He's not much more than a steals specialist in deep leagues.
Oct 17, 2025
Starting Friday
Dunn is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Warriors, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
James Harden (rest) and Kawhi Leonard (rest) are taking the night off, so Dunn will draw the start and he'll be joined in the first unit by Bradley Beal, Derrick Jones, Kobe Brown and Ivica Zubac. With Harden out, Dunn could flirt with close to 30 minutes Friday evening.
Apr 10, 2025
Three swipes in victory
Dunn closed with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 134-117 win over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has now recorded at least three steals in back-to-back games and in 20 total outings this season. Although Dunn isn't a consistent scoring threat, his season average of 1.7 steals per contest ranks fourth in the entire NBA.
Apr 3, 2025
Well-rounded showing in victory
Dunn ended with 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 114-98 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Dunn checked a few boxes for Los Angeles during Wednesday's win over New Orleans, coming three rebounds shy of a double-double. The 30-year-old is averaging 6.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 steals per game, shooting 42.9 percent from the floor and 32.1 percent from beyond the arc this season.
Mar 24, 2025
Notches seven points
Dunn ended with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Sunday's 103-101 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
James Harden suffered quad and ankle injuries late in this contest, putting his status in jeopardy for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. Dunn, along with Ben Simmons, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Norman Powell, would be candidates for increased usage if Harden misses time. In 22.1 minutes per game over his last six contests, Dunn has averaged 5.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals.
Mar 17, 2025
Not on injury report for Tuesday
Dunn (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against Cleveland, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will return to game action after missing Sunday's win over the Hornets due to left knee soreness. Over his last five outings, the veteran guard has averaged 4.2 points, 3.2 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 steals across 26.6 minutes per contest.
Mar 16, 2025
Out with knee problem
Dunn is out for Sunday's game against the Hornets due to left knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Dunn popped up on the injury report with knee soreness, and the Clippers have decided to rule him out of the contest altogether. This means Bogdan Bogdanovic will likely start in the backcourt Sunday. Dunn's next chance to play will come against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.
Mar 14, 2025
Rare scoreless outing Friday
Dunn amassed zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Friday's 121-98 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was held scoreless for the first time since the Jan. 19 win over the Lakers. Although the veteran swingman has started each of his last 13 outings post-All-Star break, Dunn has averaged just 6.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.5 steals and 0.6 blocks in 28.6 minutes during this span and doesn't have a big role offensively while James Harden and Kawhi Leonard are healthy.
Mar 6, 2025
Another three steals Wednesday
Dunn finished Wednesday's 123-115 win over the Pistons with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Dunn continues to rack up the defensive numbers, having now recorded 37 steals over his past 13 games. Norman Powell has missed significant time of late with two separate injuries, affording Dunn an opportunity to step back into the starting lineup. While his offense remains sporadic at best, he should continue to be an elite wing defender on a team hunting as many wins as possible down the stretch.
Mar 1, 2025
Sniffs double-double in loss
Dunn provided 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, six assists and four steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 106-102 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
An above-average rebound total got Dunn close to his first double-double of the season, but he fell just short. Although Dunn's scoring totals leave a bit to be desired, the veteran guard has proven to be an excellent contributor in secondary categories. He's posted an impressive 17 steals over his last five games, and has recorded only two turnovers during the same period.
Feb 25, 2025
Productive outing in loss
Dunn contributed 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and five steals over 35 minutes during Monday's 106-97 loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Norman Powell (knee) sat another game out and are presumably day-to-day, while Ben Simmons was held out for maintenance. Dunn is typically a low-usage player who expends most of his energy on the defensive side of things, but he stepped up for the shorthanded Clippers on Monday. He finished one steal shy of his career-high mark of six, and this was the eighth game of his career with at least five steals.
Feb 21, 2025
Posts career high in defeat
Dunn produced five points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, six steals, five assists and one block across 31 minutes during Thursday's 116-110 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Dunn recorded a career-high mark in steals Thursday, albeit in a losing effort. The 30-year-old has been fairly quiet on the offensive end of late. Over his last 10 outings (five starts), Dunn has averaged 3.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.3 steals while shooting only 39.5 percent from the field in 21.1 minutes per contest.
Feb 20, 2025
Joins starting lineup Thursday
Dunn will start Thursday against the Jazz, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn joins the starters for the third consecutive game, taking the place of Norman Powell (knee). In 31 starts this season, Dunn averages 6.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.4 blocks over 24.1 minutes.
Feb 13, 2025
Good to go against Utah
Dunn (undisclosed) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Despite reportedly suffering an undisclosed injury in Wednesday's win over the Grizzlies, Dunn is good to go Thursday. Dunn is averaging 4.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.2 steals in 19.6 minutes across his last five outings.
Feb 13, 2025
Suffers minor injury
Dunn suffered an unknown injury and was unable to finish Wednesday's 128-114 win over Memphis, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Tyronn Lue said he couldn't remember the specifics of Dunn's injury but said Dunn should be available for Thursday's matchup with the Jazz. Dunn logged 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-4 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and five steals in 21 minutes of action Wednesday. With Kawhi Leonard (rest) slated to sit Thursday, Dunn could be in line for another sizeable workload if he's able to suit up
Feb 12, 2025
Starting against Memphis
Dunn is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will enter Los Angeles' starting five in favor of Derrick Jones, offering him a chance to return amplified fantasy value. Over 29 games with the Clippers' starters in 2024-25, the veteran guard has averaged 6.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals in 23.7 minutes.
Feb 5, 2025
Posts three steals in return
Dunn (knee) tallied two points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and three steals in 18 minutes Tuesday in the Clippers' 122-97 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was back in action for LA after missing the team's previous seven games due to left knee injury management and saw more playing time than either of the other two reserve guards in head coach Tyronn Lue's rotation, Kevin Porter (13 minutes) and Terance Mann (12 minutes). Though he's shooting just 41.8 percent from the field this season, Dunn's ability to serve as a secondary ballhandler and wreak havoc on the defensive end should allow him to maintain a steady role on the second unit. However, he'll likely struggle to carve out enough playing time to profile as anything more than a streaming option in deeper fantasy leagues for steals and assists on lighter game days.
Feb 3, 2025
Off injury report for Tuesday
Dunn (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn is set to return from a seven-game absence due to a left knee injury. The 30-year-old has averaged 2.2 points, 3.0 assists and 1.8 rebounds across 17.0 minutes per game in his last five outings (three starts).

Jan 28, 2025
Won't play Wednesday

ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS
James Harden (rest) remains questionable, but Dunn will join Norman Powell (back), Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Ivica Zubac (eye) on the sidelines for this contest. With Dunn out, Terrance Mann and Kevin Porter could be more involved for the Clippers on Wednesday.
Jan 21, 2025
Iffy against Boston
Dunn is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics due to left knee soreness, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn entered the starting lineup Monday with Kawhi Leonard (knee) out, With Leonard, Ivica Zubac (eye), James Harden (groin), Nicolas Batum (finger) and Norman Powell (back) all either out or questionable, the Clippers could be severely short-handed against Boston.
Jan 20, 2025
Entering starting lineup
Dunn is starting Monday's game against the Bulls, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will run with the first unit Monday while Kawhi Leonard (knee) gets the night off. Dunn is no stranger to the starting lineup, as he started 27 straight games from Nov. 13 to Jan. 13, averaging 6.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.9 steals during this stretch.
Jan 20, 2025
Good to go Monday
Dunn (knee) has been cleared to play Monday against the Bulls, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn entered Monday night questionable with a knee injury, but will suit up for the Clippers, who will be without Kawhi Leonard (right knee management) and Ivica Zubac (eye). Dunn is averaging 6.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.3 blocks over 22.8 minutes this season.
Jan 20, 2025
Questionable for Monday
Dunn (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn played through a questionable tag Sunday against the Lakers, but saw just 12 scoreless minutes. If he gets the green light Monday, he could be more involved -- Kawhi Leonard is resting and Norman Powell (back) is questionable to suit up.
Jan 19, 2025
Suiting up Sunday
Dunn (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup, but he'll give it a go, although it's uncertain if he'll be in the starting unit or not. Dunn has started in all but one of his last 10 games, averaging 4.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.
Jan 18, 2025
Iffy for Sunday
Dunn is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers due to left knee soreness, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn joins James Harden (illness), Norman Powell (back) and Ivica Zubac (back) on the injury report, with all four players carrying questionable tags. Sunday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers could look to give their key contributors a maintenance day. Kevin Porter, Amir Coffey and Terance Mann could see increased run Sunday if the Clippers are shorthanded.
Jan 16, 2025
Starting Thursday
Dunn is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Blazers, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will move to the starting lineup due to the absence of Kawhi Leonard (rest). Dunn has been a regular starter for the Clippers this season, as he's featured in the first unit in 27 of his 39 appearances. He's averaging 6.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game when deployed with the first unit.
Jan 16, 2025
Goes scoreless off bench
Dunn finished Wednesday's 126-67 victory over the Nets with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 13 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Dunn came off the bench for the first time since Nov. 11, and he wasn't effective in what turned out to be a historical blowout since he went scoreless across 13 minutes. His role in the rotation is uncertain going forward, though his fantasy upside will likely take a substantial hit if he doesn't start regularly.
Jan 15, 2025
Not part of first unit
Dunn won't start Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn's streak of 27 starts comes to an end Wednesday, as the Clippers turn to a starting lineup of James Harden, Norman Powell, Derrick Jones, Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac. Despite coming off the bench, Dunn should see significant minutes Wednesday.
Dec 31, 2024
Hands out six assists
Dunn totaled seven points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 116-113 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
This was a solid showing for Dunn in what has been a decent month for the veteran guard. Over his last 11 outings, Dunn has averaged 7.3 points, 3.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.2 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes. It will be interesting to see what kind of role he will have when the Clippers start to incorporate Kawhi Leonard (knee).
Dec 19, 2024
Tossed in third quarter
Dunn was ejected during the third quarter of Thursday's game against the Mavericks after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports. He recorded three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and one steal over 25 minutes before departing.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was involved in a play where he placed his hand near the neck of an opposing player and was subsequently ejected. Amir Coffey and Jordan Miller should be in line for opportunities the rest of the way in Dunn's place.
Dec 17, 2024
Solid outing in blowout win Monday
Dunn recorded 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and two steals over 24 minutes during Monday's 144-107 win over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Dunn reached the double-digit mark in points for the first time since Nov. 17, delivering an efficient outing from the field in the blowout win. The 30-year-old has struggled to produce on the offensive end over his last 10 outings, during which he has averaged 5.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.7 steals and 1.8 assists while shooting 38.3 percent from the floor and only 23.1 percent from deep across 22.5 minutes per contest.
Dec 16, 2024
Gets green light
Dunn (illness) will start Monday's game against the Jazz, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was added to the injury report shortly before tipoff, but he'll be able to fight through the illness and at least start Monday's clash. He's averaging 5.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 3.2 steals in his first five appearances of December.
Dec 16, 2024
Late addition to injury report
Dunn is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz due to illness, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was added to the injury report with about one hour until tipoff. Kevin Porter and Amir Coffey would be candidates to start at shooting guard if Dunn can't go.
Dec 8, 2024
Good to go vs. Rockets
Dunn (illness) will play Sunday against Houston, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was considered questionable leading up to Sunday's tipoff, and the team has since announced that he's been given the green light to suit up. He's averaging 3.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.2 steals in his last five appearances but may be asked to take on a larger offensive role Sunday with James Harden (groin) out.
Dec 7, 2024
Dealing with illness
Dunn is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets due to an illness, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has been a regular starter for the Clippers this season, and his potential absence could pose a problem for the team since James Harden (groin) is also questionable. Dunn has started in 13 of his 24 regular-season appearances this season, averaging 6.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game. If he can't go Sunday, then Amir Coffey, Kevin Porter and Bones Hyland would be in line to see more minutes in the backcourt.
Dec 4, 2024
Records seven points
Dunn chipped in seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 127-105 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Terance Mann suffered a fractured finger Tuesday, so Dunn could potentially have more minutes coming his way. Dunn has 12 starts to his name this season, posting averages of 6.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 steals in those games.
Nov 26, 2024
Muted performance in loss
Dunn closed with two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 22 minutes during Monday's 126-94 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Despite a quiet night offensively, Dunn fared well on the defensive side of things with three steals and a block. He's earned a decent role in the rotation, posting averages of 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 steals in 22.9 minutes across 14 November appearances.
Nov 18, 2024
Productive as starter Sunday
Dunn finished with 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Dunn started for the third game in a row and delivered another solid showing, scoring in double digits and chipping in across the board while logging 25 minutes. Dunn is averaging 11.7 points, 4.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game since moving to the first unit, and there are no signs of him returning to a bench role any time soon, so the uptick in his fantasy value should be noticeable compared to the beginning of the season.
Nov 13, 2024
Jumps into first unit
Dunn is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Houston, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will supplant Terance Mann in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest, marking Dunn's first start in a Clippers uniform. He's averaging 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 21.7 minutes per game this season.
Nov 12, 2024
Hands out eight assists
Dunn amassed nine points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and eight assists across 28 minutes during Monday's 134-128 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Dunn handed out a season-high eight assists and matched his highest workload of the campaign, but it wasn't enough as the Clippers dropped to 6-5 on the season. Dunn's minutes aren't where his fantasy managers would want them to be, but he's been productive in his limited floor time with averages of 7.0 points, 3.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.2 three-pointers and 0.7 steals in 21.5 minutes across six November outings.
Nov 1, 2024
Limited impact in loss
Dunn finished Thursday's 125-119 loss to the Suns with six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old has logged significant playing time behind James Harden and Norman Powell in the backcourt. Dunn has yet to play less than 18 minutes in a game through five regular-season outings. The guard has been efficient while shooting 60.9 percent from the field thus far, though he did struggle with his two-point shot Thursday. The ninth-year pro is averaging 6.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals across 21.8 minutes per game.
Oct 7, 2024
Moves to second unit
Dunn will come off the bench for Tuesday's preseason game against the Nets, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Clippers will be experimenting quite a bit in the preseason, and it will be Terance Mann who gets the starting nod Tuesday. In Saturday's exhibition against the Warriors, Dunn started but was held scoreless in 18 minutes.
Oct 5, 2024
Starting in preseason opener
Dunn is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason opener against the Warriors, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was traded from the Jazz to the Clippers this offseason. While the 30-year-old guard was initially expected to serve as the team's backup point guard, he will get the starting nod in Los Angeles' preseason opener.
Jul 18, 2024
Shipped to Los Angeles
The Jazz dealt Dunn to the Clippers in a sign-and-trade in exchange for Russell Westbrook, a second-round pick and cash Thursday. Dunn subsequently signed a three-year, $17 million contract with Los Angeles, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will likely function as the backup point guard to James Harden for the Clippers next season. For Utah in 2023-24, Dunn averaged 5.4 points, 3.8 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 18.9 minutes across 66 appearances, including 32 starts. While Dunn isn't a volume-scoring threat, his strong perimeter defense should provide value to a Clippers team with Harden and Kawhi Leonard already on the roster.
Jul 1, 2024
Landing with Clippers
Dunn (foot) has agreed to a contract with Los Angeles, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
The terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed, but this move indicates that the Clippers could trade Russell Westbrook at some point before the 2024-25 campaign. Dunn averaged 5.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 66 appearances a season ago with the Jazz and will serve as guard depth behind James Harden and Collin Sexton.
Apr 13, 2024
Won't suit up Sunday
Dunn (foot) won't play against the Warriors on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will miss his fifth game in a row to conclude the regular season. Dunn made 66 appearances for the Jazz this campaign, posting averages of 5.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 18.9 minutes.
Apr 12, 2024
Remains sidelined
Dunn (foot) is out for Friday's game versus the Clippers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will miss his fourth straight contest Friday while dealing with left foot inflammation. His last chance to suit up this season is Sunday's matchup with Golden State.
Apr 10, 2024
Won't play Thursday
Dunn (foot) will remain on the sidelines for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn is set to sit out Utah's final home game of the season, and with just two more games on the schedule after that, it seems unlikely we'll see Dunn in uniform again this season. Keyonte George and Johnny Juzang will continue to pick up the slack in Dunn's absence.
Apr 8, 2024
Out again Tuesday
Dunn (foot) will not play Tuesday versus Denver, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will be sidelined for a second consecutive contest due to left foot inflammation. Keyonte George logged 34 minutes in Sunday's loss to Golden State, while Johnny Juzang has been locked into a 30-plus minute role for back-to-back contests.
Apr 7, 2024
Officially out Sunday
Dunn (foot) will not play Sunday versus Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will miss his first contest since March 27 due to left foot inflammation. Keyonte George logged just 19 minutes in Friday's loss to the Clippers, but as long as he's outside the doghouse, George and the resurgent Talen Horton-Tucker could step into sizable ballhandler roles alongside Collin Sexton Sunday.
Apr 6, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Updating a previous report, Dunn (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Larsen previously reported Dunn as out, but he issued a correction about an hour later. If Dunn is forced to the sidelines, the Jazz could turn to Johnny Juzang and Jason Preston.
Apr 6, 2024
Ruled out versus Warriors
Dunn will not play Sunday against the Warriors due to left foot inflammation, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a new injury for Dunn, and it's not a great sign that he's getting ruled out a day in advance. The Jazz are already very shorthanded, so it's possible that Johnny Juzang could see extended minutes.
Mar 24, 2024
Issued two-game suspension
Dunn has been suspended two games by the NBA for initiating an altercation during Saturday's loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was ejected from Saturday's matchup and will be forced to miss two additional games due to the incident. Kira Lewis is a candidate to see increased playing time in Dunn's absnece.
Mar 23, 2024
Gets ejected against Houston
Dunn was ejected during the first half of Saturday's matchup against the Rockets after engaging in an altercation with Jabari Smith, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn came off the bench in this game as Collin Sexton returned to the starting lineup, and this situation is not going to make him any favors regarding his playing time ahead of the final weeks of the season. Dunn ends Saturday's game having posted two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and a rebound across six minutes.
Mar 23, 2024
Back to bench
Dunn will return to a reserve role for Saturday's game versus the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn got a surprising start over Collin Sexton in Utah's previous game, but the latter will return to the starting lineup Saturday. As a result, Dunn will come off the bench. The 30-year-old has averaged 4.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.7 assistsa cross 15.6 minutes in 29 games as a reserve.
Mar 16, 2024
Enters starting lineup
Dunn will start Saturday's game against Minnesota, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Collin Sexton will come off the bench in a surprising move for the Jazz. In 28 starts this season, Dunn holds averages of 6.1 points, 5.3 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals.
Mar 16, 2024
Good to go Saturday
Dunn (rest) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus
ANALYSIS
Dunn will return to action Saturday after missing Utah's previous contest for rest purposes. Dunn is averaging 4.2 points, 3.2 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 21.2 minutes across his last five appearances.
Mar 14, 2024
Ruled out for Friday
Dunn (rest) will not suit up for Friday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will receive a maintenance day for the first leg of this back-to-back set, but he should be back in action Saturday night. With Dunn watching from the sidelines Friday, Talen Horton-Tucker could pick up some extra minutes and Kira Lewis might be able to get into the rotation.
Mar 9, 2024
Back to second unit
Dunn will come off the bench for Saturday's game against Denver.
ANALYSIS
This is an expected move with Keyonte George returning from his illness. Dunn filled in admirably against the Bulls on Wednesday, scoring 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt) with five assists, two rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes.
Mar 6, 2024
Starting Wednesday
Dunn is listed in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will get the spot start with Keyonte George (illness) unavailable, making him an intriguing low-end target in deep leagues for those seeking some dimes and steals. Through 27 starts this season, Dunn has registered averages of 5.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.4 turnovers per contest on 46.8 percent shooting.
Feb 26, 2024
Tallies four steals Sunday
Dunn racked up eight points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and four steals in 20 minutes during Sunday's 128-109 victory over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Dunn produced another strong defensive effort, racking up four steals in 20 minutes. He now has multiple steals in five of the past seven games, providing managers with a semi-reliable streaming option.
Feb 12, 2024
Loses starting role
Head coach Will Hardy stated after Monday's 129-107 loss to the Warriors that Dunn will come off the bench moving forward, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. He tallied two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and three steals in 19 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has started Utah's last 25 contests, but the coaching staff has decided to set their focus on developing Keyonte George, the team's 20-year-old point guard. Dunn had been held to single digits in the scoring column in eight straight games entering Monday, and it wasn't a reassuring sign to see him fail to eclipse 20 minutes in his first game as a reserve since Dec. 20.
Feb 12, 2024
Joining second unit
Dunn is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will come off the bench with Keyonte George entering the starting lineup Monday. Dunn's streak of 25 consecutive starts will be snapped Monday, but he has averaged just 6.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.5 steals in 19.5 minutes per game across Utah's last eight contests.
Feb 7, 2024
Flashes defensive prowess
Dunn logged eight points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists, three blocks and four steals across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 124-117 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Dunn tallied seven combined steals and blocks in the win, reminding everyone just what he is capable of on the defensive end of the floor. Although he logged 26 minutes, he had played fewer than 20 minutes in six of the previous seven games. Given the uncertainty, Dunn should be viewed as nothing more than a stream option for both assists and steals.
Jan 28, 2024
Logs 17 minutes despite start
Dunn recorded seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 17 minutes during Saturday's 134-122 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Dunn played just 17 minutes despite continuing to start for the Jazz, a trend that doesn't appear to be going anywhere. He has played fewer than 20 minutes in six of the past eight games, limiting his overall fantasy upside. Barring a change, Dunn should be viewed as nothing more than a streaming consideration for anyone needing assists and steals.
Jan 23, 2024
Will play Tuesday
Dunn (illness) is active for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Dunn is cleared to play and should handle a normal workload Tuesday. He and Collin Sexton have been Utah's starting tandem in the backcourt for 16 consecutive games.
Jan 23, 2024
Battling illness
Dunn is questionable to play Tuesday against New Orleans due to an illness, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
ANALYSIS
News of Dunn's illness didn't surface until Tuesday morning, which makes his status murky for a showdown against the Pelicans later in the day. Dunn has started the past 16 consecutive games for the Jazz, so Keyonte George and Jordan Clarkson would likely have extensive roles if he's unable to suit up.
Jan 21, 2024
Versatile performance Saturday
Dunn ended with 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 127-126 overtime loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Dunn entered Saturday's contest averaging 4.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 17.0 minutes over his past four contests, although his lackluster scoring output can be attributed to attempting just 3.3 shots per game over that span. He paired a slight uptick in usage with active rebounding Saturday, in addition to continuing his streak of good facilitation without recording a turnover. The 29-year-old is capable of delivering this level of output occasionally, but he profiles more as a tone-setter in a crowded Utah rotation.
Jan 9, 2024
Drops 13 dimes in win
Dunn posted five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 13 assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 24 minutes in Monday's 132-116 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The Utah backcourt has been back to full strength since Dec. 26 with both Keyonte George and Jordan Clarkson overcoming foot and hamstring injuries, respectively, but Dunn hasn't lost hold of his starting role as a result. Though he hasn't surpassed 26 minutes in any of the Jazz's ensuing eight games, Dunn has maintained value in category leagues by averaging 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks over that stretch. Though Dunn's scoring contributions are likely to remain modest even if he continues to start, he should make for a solid three-category streaming option while he's getting around 20-to-25 minutes.
Jan 2, 2024
Modest contributions in huge win
Dunn contributed seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds and seven assists over 20 minutes during Monday's 127-90 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Amid a six-game stretch in Utah's starting backcourt, Dunn has averaged 6.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 23.8 minutes per game. He has limped to 39.5 percent shooting from the field over that span, but Utah has a 5-1 record to show for it, which could be enough to keep Dunn with the starters for the foreseeable future. Jordan Clarkson has thrived in a bench role of late, delivering 18.6 points and 6.8 assists over his last five games, so coexistence in this fashion is proving to be a good recipe for the Jazz.
Dec 24, 2023
Sniffs triple-double in win
Dunn posted eight points (3-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, 13 assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has made just four starts this season, but he has been a serviceable player in the backcourt and is proving he can be reliable in fantasy, even if it's as a streaming option in category-based leagues. In those four starts, Dunn is averaging 10.0 points, 7.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game. Meanwhile, he's averaging 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game in December.
Dec 21, 2023
Top distributor in double-double
Dunn registered 13 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 119-111 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Dunn led all Jazz players in assists while ending as one of six players with a double-digit point total in a double-double effort. Dunn handed out at least 10 assists for the first time this season, also recording his first double-double of the year. The point guard has reached double figures in scoring in three games, all of which have occurred over the last six outings.
Dec 21, 2023
Starting Thursday
Dunn is starting Thursday against the Pistons, Johnny Kane of Bally Sports Detroit reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz will be playing without several starters against the struggling Pistons on Thursday, so Dunn will join the starting lineup for the second time in the last four games. Over his two starts this season, Dunn has averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.0 minutes per game.
Dec 18, 2023
Headed to bench
Dunn will come off the bench for Monday's game against Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Dunn started and logged 27 minutes in Saturday's lost to Sacramento, but he'll be replaced in the first unit by Talen Horton-Tucker on Monday. Dunn is averaging 7.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 24.0 minutes across his last four games.
Dec 16, 2023
Starting against Kings
Dunn will start Saturday's game against the Kings,James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will be replacing Talen Horton-Tucker in the starting lineup, although Horton-Tucker will be available off the bench despite an illness. In four December games, Dunn has averaged 7.0 points, 5.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers.
Dec 15, 2023
Logs season-high mark in minutes
Dunn provided six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five assists and two rebounds through 26 minutes in Thursday's 122-114 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
After missing five games while tending to a personal matter, Dunn has seen a sudden uptick in usage. In his last four contests, he has averaged 7.0 points, 5.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 0.5 steals over 21.5 minutes per game. As Keyonte George (foot) and Jordan Clarkson (thigh) remain out, expect Dunn to maintain his increased role until they return.
Dec 7, 2023
Gets rotation spot in return
Dunn (personal) played 17 minutes off the bench and recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in the Jazz's 147-97 loss to the Mavericks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Dunn wasn't available for any of Utah's previous three games while tending to a personal matter, and he didn't get off the bench in a coach's decision in the contest prior to his absence Nov. 27 versus the Pelicans. Though Dunn took back a rotation spot Wednesday in his return to the team, the Jazz were without Jordan Clarkson (thigh), Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) and Kelly Olynyk (shoulder). Once the Jazz get at least two of those players back, Dunn could find himself outside of head coach Will Hardy's rotation.
Dec 5, 2023
Set to play Wednesday
Dunn (personal) is not on the injury report in advance of Wednesday's game against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has missed three consecutive games due to a personal matter, but he appears set to return Wednesday. After delivering 13.2 points in 25.8 minutes per game across 22 appearances down the stretch last season for Utah, Dunn has been reduced to a third-string role in 2023-24, averaging just 10.3 minutes across 13 appearances.
Dec 1, 2023
Out Saturday
Dunn (personal) will remain sidelined for Saturday's contest against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Dunn's absence will mark his third straight game missed. With Jordan Clarkson (thigh) also sidelined, the Jazz's backcourt depth will continue to be tested. Collin Sexton and Talen Horton-Tucker are the prime candidates for increased roles. Dunn's next chance to return will come Wednesday against the Mavericks.
Nov 30, 2023
Remains out Thursday
Dunn (personal) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn continues to tend to a personal matter and will be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup Thursday. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his continued absence shouldn't impact Utah's rotation.
Nov 29, 2023
Out for personal reasons
Dunn will not play in Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to personal reasons, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn picked up a DNP-CD on Monday against the Pelicans, so his absence Wednesday won't have many fantasy implications.
Nov 27, 2023
Returning to bench
Dunn will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Clippers, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn received a spot start Saturday with Jordan Clarkson out due to an illness. Dunn is logging just 10.3 minutes per game this season, averaged 3.3 points, 1.9 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 12 games off the bench.
Nov 26, 2023
Solid night Saturday
Dunn totaled eight points (4-7 FG), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 19 minutes during Saturday's 105-100 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Dunn moved into the starting lineup Saturday, replacing Jordan Clarkson who was out due to an illness. Despite playing just 19 minutes, Dunn ended with a pair of steals to go with eight points. Although he possesses a fantasy-friendly skill set, Dunn is simply not getting enough minutes to warrant attention outside of deeper formats.
Nov 25, 2023
Starting against New Orleans
Dunn is in the starting lineup to face the Pelicans on Saturday, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn moves to the starting lineup to replace Jordan Clarkson (illness). Dunn has struggled to make an impact of late, and he hasn't played more than 15 minutes in a game since Oct. 28. This will be his first start of the season.
Nov 23, 2023
Secures two rebounds
Dunn recorded one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over five minutes during Wednesday's 121-105 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has been on the fringes of Utah's rotation over the past two weeks, but he's seen playing time in back-to-back matchups with the Jazz facing significant deficits. Although he saw double-digit minutes in four of his first five appearances of the season, Dunn doesn't hold much fantasy value at this point.
Oct 31, 2023
Plays six minutes
Dunn logged zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across six minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Dunn had a decent role to open the season with an average of 18.3 minutes through his first three games, so his limited action Monday night was disappointing. It will be very hard to trust him in most leagues going forward, despite his upside in steals.
Oct 26, 2023
Scores eight off bench
Dunn accumulated eight points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 130-114 loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Dunn came off the bench during Wednesday's regular-season opener but still played double-digit minutes and made some contributions on both sides of the court. He made just 22 appearances for Utah last year but averaged 13.2 points, 5.6 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 25.8 minutes per game.
Oct 9, 2023
Perfect from field Sunday
Dunn recorded 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 16 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 101-96 preseason win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was one of four players who scored in double digits for the Jazz in this preseason opener, and he finished as Utah's leading scorer despite logging limited minutes off the bench. Dunn should see decent minutes once the regular season begins, though he's likely to play a bench role.
Apr 10, 2023
Strong second-half performance
Dunn chipped in 26 points (11-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Sunday's 128-117 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
After struggling with his shot in the first half, Dunn became locked in over the final two quarters, hitting eight of nine shot attempts for 19 points while adding nine boards and three assists. The Utah guard finished with a team and season-high 26 points and also led the Jazz with 10 rebounds on the night while tying Ochai Agbaji for the team lead in assists with eight. Playing extended minutes down the stretch with Utah no longer in the playoff hunt, Dunn closed out the season on a high point, averaging 18 points, 7.4 assists and six rebounds per game in April.
Apr 8, 2023
Dominates in victory
Dunn had 19 points (6-13 FG, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, 14 assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 118-114 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was all over the court Saturday, racking up a career-high 14 assists to go with four combined steals and blocks. Despite coming into the season by way of a 10-day contract, Dunn has certainly proven his worth. There is definitely a world in which Dunn would be a better option than Collin Sexton, especially on the defensive end. Should he manage to land a long-term contract, he would be someone to consider for streaming purposes next season.
Apr 7, 2023
Strong performance as starter
Dunn closed Thursday's 114-98 loss to the Thunder with 22 points (9-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Dunn made his first start of the campaign and posted a season-high 22 points while missing only one shot. He also grabbed his most rebounds since March 9 and dished out at least eight assists for the fourth time this season. Dunn has appeared in 20 straight games since signing with Utah and is averaging 12.3 points, 5.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 24.5 minutes with 53/45/74 shooting splits during that stretch.
Apr 6, 2023
Starting Thursday
Dunn will move into the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn should be flirting with minutes in the upper-30s with Collin Sexton (rest), Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) all watching from the sidelines Thursday, so he'll make for an attractive streamer for those seeking some steals and dimes.
Apr 5, 2023
Modest production as backup
Dunn recorded 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 135-133 overtime loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Dunn continues to provide solid production off the bench and has scored in double figures in seven of his last nine appearances. During that stretch, the veteran guard has averaged 12.4 points, 5.0 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 26.1 minutes per game.
Apr 3, 2023
Productive off bench Sunday
Dunn totaled 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 111-110 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was efficient from the field off the bench, missing just two shots from the field and scoring in double digits for the sixth time over his last eight appearances. He's averaging 11.7 points per game while shooting 51.1 percent from the field since the beginning of March.
Mar 31, 2023
Tossed from game
Dunn was ejected from Friday's game versus the Celtics after receiving two technical fouls, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was ejected after getting into an altercation with Blake Griffin. He will finish the game posting 16 points, four rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 23 minutes.
Mar 30, 2023
Another impressive game off bench
Dunn provided 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 128-117 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Dunn provided another efficient game in his 28 minutes off the bench on Wednesday. He came up one point shy of matching his season high in points and added another five dimes for the eighth time in his last nine games. Since being picked up by the shorthanded Jazz last month, the veteran guard is proving that there's still a place for him in this league as a reliable backup point guard. He's currently averaging 11.5 points, 5.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals per contest.
Mar 25, 2023
Plays worst game of season Friday
Dunn ended Friday's 144-116 loss to Milwaukee with two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Dunn struggled against Milwaukee's championship-caliber defense, producing his worst outing since joining Utah. On the positive side, he handed out six dimes to better-performing teammates and had just one turnover. Fantasy managers in nine-category leagues are getting nice value out of Dunn, as he hasn't committed more than two turnovers in a game this season compared to his 5.2 assists per game.
Mar 23, 2023
Excels from bench in loss
Dunn closed Wednesday's 127-115 loss to the Trail Blazers with 15 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has come in handy due to the absences of Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Collin Sexton (hamstring). The Jazz have elected to give rookie Ochai Agbaji the starting gig over the seven-year vet, but Dunn's recent signing will give the team more experience as it makes a final push for the playoffs.
Mar 21, 2023
Dazzles off bench in win
Dunn finished with 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 31 minutes in Monday's 128-120 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Though the Jazz stuck with Talen Horton-Tucker as their starting point guard while both Collin Sexton (hamstring) and Jordan Clarkson (finger) remained sidelined Monday, Dunn ended up seeing most of the time on the ball against the Kings while Horton-Tucker dealt with foul trouble for much of the night. Dunn was able to make the most of the elevated playing time, as he established new season highs in points and assists while producing his offense efficiently and making his usual contributions in the defensive categories. Though his minutes could dip back into the low-to-mid 20s if Horton-Tucker avoids the whistle Wednesday against the Trail Blazers, Dunn still profiles as a strong streaming option for steals and assists in that contest with the likelihood that both Clarkson and Sexton will continue to sit.
Mar 14, 2023
Stays in Utah rest of season
Dunn and the Jazz agreed Tuesday on a one-year contract, Tony Jones and Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Dunn's second 10-day deal lapsing, the Jazz will unsurprisingly keep the 28-year-old in the fold for the rest of the season after he's thus far proven to be an indispensable rotation piece off the bench when Utah's backcourt depth was gutted at the trade deadline and with the losses of Collin Sexton (hamstring) and Jordan Clarkson (finger) to injuries. Through his first nine games with Utah, Dunn has averaged 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks in 22.2 minutes per game while shooting 53.1 percent from the field. While that type of production would make Dunn a roster-worthy option in 12- and even 10-team category leagues if he can sustain it, he could see his minutes dip into the teens as soon as the Jazz's next game Saturday, when both Sexton and Clarkson could be available to play against the Celtics.
Mar 10, 2023
Near double-double off bench
Dunn supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 23 minutes during Thursday's 131-124 victory over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Dunn, who's operating on a second 10-day deal, continues to impress with Utah. He's scored in double figures in each of his seven appearances and is averaging 12.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.9 steals in 23.3 minutes during that stretch. He's certainly playing well enough to garner a rest-of-season contract, but his usage is presumably tied to the availability of Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Collin Sexton (hamstring).
Mar 4, 2023
Lands second 10-day deal
Dunn was signed to a second 10-day contract by the Jazz on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Dunn joined the Jazz on a 10-day deal on Feb. 10 and appeared in all four games since signing, averaging 12.0 points, 4.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 steals across 22.3 minutes. He has stepped into a larger role with Collin Sexton (hamstring) and Jordan Clarkson (thumb) sidelined but could settle into the long-term backup point guard spot if he continues this caliber of play.
Mar 1, 2023
Stays relevant Tuesday
Dunn ended with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-3 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 102-94 loss to San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was solid off the bench once again Tuesday, continuing to push for a permanent contract. Now on his second straight 10-day deal, Dunn has thrived as the backup point guard thanks to Collin Sexton's (hamstring) injury. A known defensive specialist, Dunn has been able to chip in on the offensive end over the past three games, an element of his game that could certainly do with some refining. Although his ROS value is unknown, he is worth grabbing for now, even in standard formats.
Feb 26, 2023
Back-to-back strong games
Dunn finished with 15 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds, one steal and one block in 23 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 118-102 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Since signing a 10-day deal with the Jazz coming out of the All-Star break, Dunn has already claimed a steady role on the second unit while the Utah backcourt has been depleted by Collin Sexton's hamstring injury and a slew of players leaving the team following the trade deadline. In his first two games with the Jazz, Dunn has averaged 13.0 points on 52.2 percent shooting from the field, but that kind of scoring production probably isn't sustainable for the career 42.2 percent shooter. Instead, if Dunn is able to maintain a near-20-minute role for Utah or see his opportunities increase, he would bring his most value in the assists and steals columns.
Feb 21, 2023
Lands 10-day deal with Utah
The Jazz signed Dunn to a 10-day contract Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has appeared in just 14 NBA contests (three starts) since the end of the 2019 campaign. The 2016 No. 5 overall pick has yet to play at the NBA level this season but averaged 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists across 20 G League outings with the Capital City Go-Go. The Jazz traded away Mike Conley and Malik Beasley ahead of the deadline, so in order to add some depth to their backcourt, they've signed Dunn and Frank Jackson to 10-day deals following All-Star weekend.
Feb 8, 2023
Comes close to triple-double
Dunn posted 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, 11 assists and seven steals across 34 minutes off the bench in Saturday's overtime loss to the Mad Ants.
ANALYSIS
Dunn's chances of landing an NBA deal -- even if it's a 10-day deal -- look slim at the moment, but the floor general has been impressive and continues to show the ability to make an impact on both ends of the court on a regular basis.
Apr 9, 2022
Out for finale
Dunn (ankle) is out Sunday against the Jazz, Jamie Hudson of KOIN 6 News Portland reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn's time with the Blazers has come to an end due to a sprained right ankle. He appeared in 14 games and averaged 7.6 points, 5.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 24.0 minutes. It's possible he showed enough to earn a contract somewhere next season.
Apr 8, 2022
Won't play Friday
Dunn has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks due to a right ankle sprain, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has drawn back-to-back starts while Brandon Williams was dealing with a quadriceps injury. However, Williams figures to be back in the starting lineup Friday due to Dunn's absence. Ben McLemore, CJ Elleby and other reserve guards will likely have increased roles off the bench as well.
Apr 5, 2022
Starting Tuesday
Dunn will start Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn gets the start with Brandon Williams (quad) sidelined. In his 12 appearances, he's averaged 8.1 points, 5.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 23.8 minutes.
Apr 3, 2022
Signs for rest of season
Portland signed Dunn to a hardship deal for the rest of the season Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn inked back-to-back 10-day deals with Portland and has officially been signed for the final four games of the campaign. Across 11 appearances this season, the 2016 first-round pick has averaged 8.6 points, 5.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 23.7 minutes and figures to continue garnering a sizable role for the tanking Trail Blazers.
Mar 25, 2022
Coming off bench
Dunn will play a reserve role in Friday's matchup with the Rockets, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620
ANALYSIS
Dunn will come off the bench in favor of Brandon Williams. He started the team's previous game versus the Spurs.
Mar 24, 2022
Earns second 10-day contract
The Trail Blazers have signed Dunn to another 10-day contract Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will stay with Portland after having seen 25 minutes per game in his first six appearances with the Trail Blazers. While Portland's rotation has stacked up injuries recently, it's possible the team elects to finish out the season with the guard on its roster.
Mar 24, 2022
Modest production in starting role
Dunn accumulated nine points (4-9 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 133-96 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was given his first start of the campaign, though he came into the contest having played at least 20 minutes in each of his first five games with the Blazers. The sixth-year point guard didn't drop any jaws, but he was much better than previous starter Brandon Williams, who shot 3-for-13 from the field. Dunn could have some low-end fantasy value in deep leagues for his ability to rack up assists and steals, but he's never shown enough prowess as a scorer to be a must-roster player.
Mar 23, 2022
Starting Wednesday
Dunn will start at point guard for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will make his first start as a member of the organization Wednesday after signing a 10-day deal with the Trail Blazers on March 13. As a result, Brandon Williams will shift to the bench after starting the previous eight games. In his five games with Portland, Dunn has averaged 7.0 points, 5.6 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 steals across 24.6 minutes per game.
Mar 17, 2022
Drops 13 off bench
Dunn registered 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, seven assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 128-98 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Making his second appearance in a Blazers uniform, the journeyman guard saw 28 minutes of action off the bench and posted a very respectable line. Dunn is an interesting reclamation project for the Blazers, but it's fairly unlikely that he sticks with the team beyond this season.
Mar 15, 2022
Plays 20 minutes in Blazers debut
Dunn closed with two points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 20 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 122-113 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Making his first NBA appearance of the season, Dunn was the first guard off the bench for the shorthanded Trail Blazers, who brought him in on a 10-day deal over the weekend. A top-10 pick in 2016, Dunn entered the league with considerable expectations, but he's appeared in only five total games over the last two seasons, and he may have trouble securing a guaranteed contract again in 2022-23.
Mar 13, 2022
Joins Portland via 10-day deal
Dunn signed a 10-day contract with the Trail Blazers on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has made just four NBA appearances since 2019, but he figures to provide Portland with backcourt depth while they are without Anfernee Simons (quadriceps) for 1-to-2 weeks. Most recently, the sixth-year guard has been playing for the Agua Caliente Clippers in the G League, where he's averaged 11.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.9 blocks in 27.0 minutes per game.
Mar 4, 2022
Poor shooting effort Tuesday
Dunn ended with nine points (3-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and a block across 29 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Squadron.
ANALYSIS
Agua Caliente escaped with the win out of this match, but it would be unfair to say Dunn played a big role in this contest due to his offensive struggles. The former Bulls point guard can certainly light it up on any given game, but such wasn't the case here. Still, he should remain a starter -- as well as a decent scoring threat -- on a game-to-game basis for Agua Caliente.
Feb 17, 2022
Fills stat sheet Monday
Dunn had 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals across 28 minutes in Monday's win over Austin.
ANALYSIS
A former lottery pick that never panned out at the NBA level, Dunn is beginning to make a name for himself in the G League and has been playing well of late. His numbers aren't eye-popping by any means, but the fact that he's scored in double digits in four of his last six contests suggests he's trending in the right direction.
Oct 16, 2021
Waived by Memphis
Dunn (mouth) was waived by the Grizzlies on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn appeared in just one preseason contest, where he posted two steals in 17 minutes, and then sat out the remainder of the preseason due to a dental procedure. With the Grizzlies having Ja Morant, Tyus Jones and De'Anthony Melton as point guard options, there wouldn't have been much room for Dunn to see minutes.
Oct 14, 2021
Remains out Friday
Dunn (mouth) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Dunn underwent a dental procedure in early October and will miss a fifth consecutive game as a result. Whether he's able to return for Wednesday's regular-season opener remains to be seen.
Oct 12, 2021
Out again Wednesday
Dunn (mouth) won't play in Wednesday's contest against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will miss his fourth straight preseason game after undergoing a dental procedure. His last chance to suit up in the preseason comes Friday against the Bulls.
Oct 8, 2021
Out vs. Hawks
Dunn (mouth) is out for Saturday's preseason game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will sit out a second straight preseason game due to a dental procedure. His next chance to play is Monday against the Pistons.
Oct 6, 2021
Out Thursday
Dunn is out for Thursday's preseason game against the Hornets due to a dental procedure.
ANALYSIS
Dunn played 17 minutes in the preseason opener and recorded two steals. He'll sit out Thursday with the hopes of returning Saturday against the Hawks.
Oct 5, 2021
Not on injury report
Dunn is not listed on the Grizzlies' injury report ahead of Tuesday's preseason contest against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Dunn sat of practice Sunday due to a non-COVID-19 illness, but he appears healthy and may make his Grizzlies debut in the preseason opener. The 27-year-old was traded to Memphis by the Celtics in exchange for Juancho Hernangomez this offseason.
Oct 3, 2021
Misses practice with illness
Dunn wasn't present for the Grizzlies' practice session Sunday due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, Evan Barnes of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn likely won't need much time to move past the ailment, but his availability for Tuesday's preseason opener against the Bucks is in question nonetheless. The veteran guard was acquired by the Grizzlies earlier in the offseason after he appeared in just four regular-season games for the Hawks in 2020-21 due to a prolonged recovery from right ankle surgery.
Sep 3, 2021
Headed to Memphis
Dunn, along with Carsen Edwards and a 2026 second-round pick swap, was traded by the Celtics to the Grizzlies on Friday in exchange for Juancho Hernangomez, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn spent nearly all of the 2020 season recovering from an ankle injury, as he only played in four total games. After getting traded to Boston roughly a month ago, the 27-year-old is now on his way to Memphis where he'll likely end up as one of the team's top guards off the bench. In his last full season, Dunn notched 7.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.0 steals in 24.9 minutes with the Bulls.
Jul 30, 2021
Moved to Boston
Dunn, plus a 2023 second-round pick, was traded by the Hawks to the Celtics on Friday for Tristan Thompson, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
With the Celtics swapping out Kemba Walker for Al Horford and Moses Brown in the offseason, Boston suddenly became deep at center and barren at point guard. With this trade, some of that imbalance is relieved. Dunn played just four games for Atlanta last season, as he dealt with a bothersome ankle injury. However, he's proven to be one of the best defensive guards in the league. In 2019-20 with the Bulls, he averaged 2.0 steals per game in 24.9 minutes while also contributing 7.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists. He'll be fighting for backcourt minutes primarily with Payton Pritchard.
Jul 27, 2021
Staying with Atlanta
Dunn is picking up his $5 million player option for the 2021-2022 season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
In his first season with the Hawks, Dunn played in just four regular season games as he dealt with an ankle injury. It was unlikely that he would garner a bigger role or more money if he left, so it is no surprise to see the 27-year-old exercising his player option. The 2016 No. 5 overall pick's production has steadily declined every year since averaging 13.4 points, 6.0 assists and 2.0 steals during his first season with the Bulls during the 2017-18 campaign. If healthy, the Providence product can offer a defensive-minded presence off the bench in a backup role to Trae Young.
Jun 10, 2021
Off injury report
Dunn (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Game 3 against the 76ers on Friday, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn appears to have recovered from an illness that has kept him sidelined for the first two games of the series. Though he's available if needed for Game 3, it's not likely that the 27-year-old guard will find a spot in the rotation.
Jun 7, 2021
Remains out Tuesday
Dunn (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 2 against the 76ers, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will miss a second straight game to begin Round 2. However, his absence shouldn't impact Atlanta's rotation.
Jun 5, 2021
Out with illness
Dunn is out for Sunday's Game 1 against the 76ers due to an illness, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn played just three minutes in Round 1 against the Knicks. His availability shouldn't be a factor in this series.
May 22, 2021
Clear of injury report
Dunn (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's Game 1 versus the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old sat out the final game of the regular season with an ankle issue but is good to go for the start of the playoffs. Dunn saw the court in only one of the previous seven games before the injury, so he's unlikely to be a significant rotation piece if the Hawks can stay healthy.
May 16, 2021
Won't play Sunday
Dunn (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against Houston, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn is dealing with a left ankle injury that will keep him sidelined for the last game of the regular season. He hasn't been a part of the Atlanta rotation lately.
Apr 28, 2021
Minutes limit increased
Dunn's minutes limit has been increased ahead of Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn saw 13 minutes in his season debut Monday against the Pistons. It's not clear how much Dunn is expected to play Wednesday, but we shouldn't be surprised if he cracks 20 minutes, especially since Trae Young (ankle) is out.
Apr 27, 2021
Brings defense in Atlanta debut
Dunn (ankle) played 13 minutes off the bench Monday in the Hawks' 100-86 loss to the Pistons, providing zero points (0-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one steal and one block.
ANALYSIS
Making his Hawks debut and playing in his first NBA game since Jan. 29, 2020 following a prolonged recovery from an MCL sprain in his knee and right ankle surgery, Dunn faced a strict minutes cap while playing on the second unit. Even with the Hawks down multiple key guards/wings, Dunn had a limited role offensively. That will likely remain the case even once Dunn is free of any minutes restrictions, as the Hawks signed him to a two-year deal during the offseason mainly for what he can provide on the defensive end. For fantasy purposes, Dunn is probably best viewed as a streamer for steals.
Apr 26, 2021
Cleared for season debut
Dunn (ankle) is available for Monday's game at Detroit and will have an unspecified minutes restriction, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old has been sidelined all season while recovering from ankle surgery, but he'll make his debut with the Hawks on Monday. It's no surprise Dunn's playing time will be limited in his return, since it will be his first game action since January of 2020.
Apr 26, 2021
Bumped up to probable
Dunn (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Pistons, Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks reports.
ANALYSIS
The guard is yet to play this season after undergoing ankle surgery, and while it's been a longer-than-expected road to recovery, it looks like he's in position to make his debut Monday night. Historically, Dunn is a strong source of steals -- he averaged 2.0 per game a season ago -- but he'll likely be brought along slowly given that he last played in an NBA game in January of 2020.
Apr 25, 2021
Won't play Sunday
Dunn (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
There was a brief ray of hope when the Hawks bumped Dunn up to doubtful on Saturday, but he'll ultimately miss yet another contest as he works his way back from ankle surgery. The defensive-minded guard is yet to appear in a single game this season.
Apr 24, 2021
Upgraded to doubtful
Dunn (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has previously been listed as out, and so being listed as doubtful represents an upgrade. Dunn hasn't played this season while recovering from ankle surgery. Once he's cleared to play, he'll likely be on a minutes limit.
Apr 22, 2021
Still out Friday
Dunn (ankle) is out Friday against the Heat, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has yet to make his season debut, and it's not clear when he will be able to play. His next chance to take the court arrives Sunday against the Bucks.
Apr 21, 2021
Out Wednesday
Dunn (ankle) is out Wednesday against the Knicks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Dunn is yet to appear in a single game this season. At this stage, it's unclear if he'll be able to get back on the floor before the end of the regular season.
Apr 19, 2021
Out again Tuesday
Dunn (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's game against Orlando, Sarah Spencer of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Dunn is yet to appear in a single game this season. At this stage, it's unclear if he'll be able to get back on the floor before the end of the regular season.
Apr 17, 2021
Out Sunday
Dunn (ankle) is out Sunday against the Pacers, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS

Apr 14, 2021
Out Thursday
Dunn (ankle) is out Thursday against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has yet to make his Hawks debut, and it's unclear when that could happen. His next chance to play arrives Sunday against the Pacers.
Apr 12, 2021
Still out Tuesday
Dunn (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Toronto, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old has yet to see the court this season, and his absence will continue Tuesday versus the Raptors. Dunn's next chance to make his season debut will be Thursday against the Bucks.
Apr 11, 2021
Not playing Sunday
Dunn (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Hornets, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has yet to play this season, and he remains sidelined while recovering from ankle surgery. General manager Travis Schlenk recently said that Dunn has been able to take part in practice, so he could be eligible for a return at some point in April.
Apr 6, 2021
Gets in full-court workout
General manager Travis Schlenk said that Dunn (ankle) -- who remains out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans -- was able to turn in a full-court practice for the first time since undergoing right knee surgery Dec. 31, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn still has yet to make his season and Hawks debut, but that could be coming soon now that he's taken a major step forward in the lengthy recovery process. Schlenk said the Hawks want Dunn to turn in a few more scrimmages before being activated, so he can safely be ruled out for the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday against the Grizzlies. Friday's game against the Bulls is also probably a long shot for Dunn to make his debut, but anytime thereafter may be more realistic if his knee continues to respond well to on-court work.
Apr 5, 2021
Out Tuesday
Dunn (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old has yet to make his season debut and won't be taking the court Tuesday. Dunn also seems likely to be sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday versus Memphis.
Apr 4, 2021
Out Sunday
Dunn (ankle) will not play Sunday against Golden State, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn is still not ready for his season debut as he continues to recover from right ankle surgery. There's no firm timetable on when Dunn is going to be ready to go.
Mar 31, 2021
Still out Thursday
Dunn (ankle) won't play Thursday against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has yet to take the court this season while recovering from right ankle surgery. His next chance to play is Friday against the Pelicans.
Mar 29, 2021
Remains out Tuesday
Dunn (ankle) won't play Tuesday against the Suns, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn hasn't yet played this year after he underwent offseason ankle surgery. It's not yet clear whether he could return for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
Mar 27, 2021
Out again Sunday
Dunn (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old has yet to see the court this season after offseason ankle surgery, and his absence will continue Sunday. General manager Travis Schlenk previously indicated Dunn could debut during the current road trip, which continues Tuesday at Phoenix.
Mar 25, 2021
Remains out Friday
Dunn (ankle) won't play Friday against the Warriors, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Although general manager Travis Schlenk recently suggested that Dunn could return during Atlanta's current road trip, he'll remain sidelined for the fourth game of the eight-game stretch. His next chance to return will be Sunday against the Nuggets.
Mar 24, 2021
Won't play Wednesday
Dunn (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk recently suggested that Dunn could make his season debut at some point during Atlanta's ongoing road trip, but he'll remain sidelined for the third game of the eight-game trip. Dunn's next chance to play will come Friday at Golden State, but he likely won't be in line for extended run even if he gains clearance for the weekend.
Mar 21, 2021
Remains out Monday
Dunn (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Dunn joined the Hawks for their current road trip and has returned to practice recently, he'll miss yet another game while recovering from right ankle surgery. His next chance to return will be Wednesday against Sacramento.
Mar 19, 2021
Ruled out Saturday
Dunn (ankle) won't play Saturday against the Lakers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn is with the Hawks on their current road trip and joined the team for a modified practice Wednesday, but he'll be unable to return for Saturday's contest. His next chance to play will be Monday against the Clippers.
Mar 18, 2021
Joins modified practice
The Hawks announced that Dunn (ankle) will join the team for its eight-game road trip that begins Saturday in Los Angeles after he was able to take part in a modified practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
General manager Travis Schlenk suggested earlier in the week that Dunn could make his season debut at some point during the upcoming road trip, so this latest update merely confirms that Dunn remains on track with his recovery program since requiring a platelet-rich plasma injection in his surgically-repaired right knee in mid-February. He's expected to gradually ramp up the intensity of his practice activity in the days to come, but Dunn probably won't be ready to play until the latter half of the road trip. Expect him to handle a limited role off the bench once he gets the green light to suit up.
Mar 16, 2021
Could be back for road trip
General manager Travis Schlenk said Tuesday that Dunn (ankle) could be available for the Hawks' upcoming eight-game road trip that begins Saturday in Los Angeles, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Based on Schlenk's comments, Dunn can be ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets and Thursday's game against the Thunder, but the veteran guard looks like he'll have a chance to make his Hawks debut by the end of the month. Atlanta could use another body on the wing with Cam Reddish (Achilles) out indefinitely, though his absence will be alleviated by the impending return of De'Andre Hunter (knee), whom Schlenk said could return to the lineup as soon as Thursday. With all of Hunter, Kevin Huerter, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Danilo Gallinari and Tony Snell on hand to fill minutes on the wing, Dunn may not be guaranteed a spot in interim head coach Nate McMillan's rotation.
Mar 4, 2021
Return expected by end of March
Dunn (ankle) is expected to make his return by the end of March, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has yet to make his team debut for Atlanta while dealing with knee and ankle injuries. Once he's available, he should provide a strong defensive option in the backcourt. It's possible he takes minutes from the likes of Rajon Rondo, Brandon Goodwin and Tony Snell.
Feb 24, 2021
Remains out Wednesday
Dunn (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has been cleared to resume his rehab after undergoing a platelet-rich plasma injection last week to address discomfort in his surgically-repaired right ankle, but the Hawks haven't indicated where exactly he stands in the recovery process. Unless the team provides word by the end of the week that Dunn has resumed practicing fully, he likely won't be a candidate to play at any point during the team's four-game road trip -- which begins Friday in Oklahoma City -- to close out the first half.
Feb 17, 2021
Undergoes PRP injection in knee
Dunn (ankle) underwent a platelet-rich plasma injection to address discomfort in his right knee, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. After a two-day rest period, Dunn will resume his rehab from right ankle surgery.
ANALYSIS
In the midst of recovering from ankle surgery, Dunn seems to have suffered a knee injury. However, it's apparently not serious, and he'll be able to resume his rehab before the end of the week. He continues to be ruled out on a game-to-game basis but will certainly be out Friday against the Celtics.
Feb 14, 2021
Remains out Monday
Dunn (ankle) won't play Monday against the Knicks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will be unable to play once again after he underwent ankle surgery at the end of December. It's not yet clear when he could return.
Feb 13, 2021
Still unavailable Saturday
Dunn (ankle) won't play Saturday against Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will miss another game after undergoing ankle surgery at the end of December. A timetable for his return hasn't yet been established.
Feb 11, 2021
Still out Friday
Dunn (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has been sidelined since undergoing ankle surgery at the end of December, and he'll remain out for Friday's game against San Antonio. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return.
Jan 28, 2021
Out at least two more weeks
Dunn (ankle) has been "participating in impact-based rehabilitation activities" and will be reviewed in two weeks, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn's rehab has including skipping, jumping and spot shooting on the court, so tangible progress is being made. It's not a guarantee that Dunn will come back in two weeks, but a return in the not-too-distant future seems possible, if not likely. Once he's healthy enough to play, Dunn should take on a role in the backcourt as a defensive specialist, though there won't be many minutes available behind Trae Young and Kevin Huerter.
Jan 15, 2021
Ditches walking boot
Dunn had his walking boot removed from his surgically-repaired right ankle Thursday, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old had been confined to the boot for approximately two weeks after having the arthroscopic ankle procedure Dec. 30. Now that the boot is off, Dunn will be cleared for weight-bearing rehabilitation and modified form shooting, but his return to full-court, full-contact work in practice is still likely multiple weeks away.
Dec 31, 2020
To be reviewed in two weeks
Dunn (ankle) underwent surgery Tuesday and will be placed in a walking boot. After a two-week period of rest, he will be reviewed.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will be reviewed in two weeks, but that's only to determine what sort of workouts he can start, so he still essentially remains out indefinitely. More information should become available in mid-January.
Dec 27, 2020
Needs ankle surgery
Dunn will undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove loose cartilage his right ankle on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Dunn had missed the first two games of the season with a knee injury, but the team revealed Sunday that an ankle injury that will require surgery has also surfaced. A recent MRI revealed that the loose ankle cartilage was inhibiting his range of motion in the ankle and creating issues for his knees and back. An update on how much time Dunn will be sidelined is expected following the procedure. Rajon Rondo, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter should see expanded roles while Dunn is out.

To miss first two games of season
Dunn (knee) will be re-evaluated on Dec. 28, meaning he'll miss the first two games of the regular season, Brad Rowland of Locked on Hawks reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has been dealing with a cartilage disruption in his right knee and has been limited in practice, not taking contact. While he's sidelined, that will likely mean more minutes for Rajon Rondo and possibly Brandon Goodwin.
Dec 10, 2020
Out for preseason opener
Dunn (knee) is out for Friday's preseason opener against the Magic, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn is nursing a right knee injury and hasn't yet taken contact in practice, so it will be a while before he's ready to play in a game.
Dec 5, 2020
Still not taking contact
Dunn (knee) still isn't taking contact in practice, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
The team announced Monday that Dunn was limited to modified individual workouts, and that continues to be the case into Saturday. He's presumably working through the residual effects of the sprained MCL he suffered in late January. It's not clear if he'll be ready for the preseason, and he should be considered questionable for the Hawks' exhibition opener Friday against the Magic.
Dec 2, 2020
Nursing knee injury
The Hawks announced Monday that Dunn is limited to modified individual workouts after he was diagnosed with a right knee injury, the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn is still presumably dealing with the residual effects of the MCL sprain he sustained to his right knee back on Jan. 31, in what was ultimately his final appearance with the Bulls. The Hawks were presumably cognizant of Dunn's medical situation when they signed him to a two-year, $10 million contract in November, so at this stage, the knee issue isn't believed to be anything that will result in an extended absence to begin the regular season. Even if healthy, Dunn isn't necessarily a lock to crack head coach Lloyd Pierce's rotation with all of Trae Young, Kevin Huerter, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Rajon Rondo, Cam Reddish, De'Andre Hunter and Tony Snell in the mix for playing time at point guard or on the wing.

Welcomed to Atlanta
Dunn and the Hawks have come to terms on a two-year, $10 million deal, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn became an intriguing free agent on the market after the Bulls did not extend him a qualifying offer. Primarily a defensive contributor, he will now presumably provide depth in the Hawks' backcourt. The 26-year-old has struggled with injuries throughout his young career and is coming off a campaign with the Bulls in which he averaged 7.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.6 triples across 24.9 minutes.
Nov 16, 2020
Not expecting qualifying offer
The Bulls are not expected to issue a qualifying offer to Dunn, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was among the best defensive guards in the league last season, but with a new regime in place, it's apparently been determined that the former top-five pick is not in the franchise's future plans. Dunn has some notable shortcomings on the offensive end -- and he's missed significant time in each of the last three seasons -- but he's nonetheless expected to generate interest on the free agent market. Per Johnson, the Clippers are among the teams that could show interest.
Mar 3, 2020
Officially done for season
Dunn (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, Joe Cowley of the Sun-Times reports.
ANALYSIS
This was widely speculated to be the case, but coach Jim Boylen finally confirmed it after Tuesday's practice. Dunn is dealing with a sprained MCL in his right knee and is due to be re-evaluated around the end of the month.
Feb 19, 2020
Out at least another month
Dunn (knee) is set to have his sprained right MCL re-examined in 4-to-6 weeks.
ANALYSIS
Dunn missed the final five games before the break, and he'll continue to rehab throughout the next several weeks with the goal of getting back on the floor sometime before the end of the season. Given the Bulls' standing in the East, there's no reason to push Dunn to return, so it wouldn't be a surprise if we've seen the last of the Providence product for 2019-20.
Feb 17, 2020
Could be done for season
Dunn (knee) is scheduled to be re-examined this week, but there's growing belief within the organization that he'll miss the remainder of the season, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was ruled out indefinitely Feb. 4 after an MRI confirmed he was dealing with a sprained MCL in his right knee. The Bulls haven't issued another formal update on Dunn since that time, though coach Jim Boylen told Jamal Collier of the Chicago Tribune last week that the 2016 lottery pick will remain shut down from basketball activities until the inflammation in his knee subsides. Dunn suffered a similar injury last season and missed 23 games, so he appears to be firmly in the week-to-week camp at this stage since he's only been sidelined for four contests thus far.
Feb 4, 2020
Out indefinitely with sprained MCL
Dunn (knee) underwent an MRI and exam Saturday that confirmed the initial diagnosis of a sprained MCL he received when he exited Friday's 133-118 loss to the Nets. The Bulls will re-evaluate Dunn after a two-week phase of immobilization and physical therapy before providing an updated timeline for his return.
ANALYSIS
As anticipated, Dunn's right knee injury is of the week-to-week variety rather than a day-to-day concern. He'll remain out through at least the All-Star break, and quite likely, additional weeks to follow. As K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago notes, Dunn sustained a similar injury a season ago and missed 23 games, so he could face a similarly lengthy recovery time once again. Chandler Hutchison looks like he'll be one of the biggest beneficiaries while Dunn is sidelined, as he entered the starting five in Sunday's loss to the Raptors and finished with 17 points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes.
Feb 2, 2020
Diagnosed with MCL sprain
Dunn has a sprained MCL in his right knee, a preliminary exam revealed Sunday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn's timeline is not yet clear. He won't play Sunday in Toronto. His spot on the wing will likely be filled by Chandler Hutchison (shoulder, hip) and Denzel Valentine (hip), both of whom are probable for Sunday's contest.
Feb 1, 2020
Out Sunday
Dunn (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Dunn will sit out again due to a right knee injury. His next chance to play arrives Thursday against the Pelicans.
Feb 1, 2020
Unlikely for Sunday
Dunn (knee) isn't expected to play in Sunday's game against Toronto, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn is in Chicago for further tests to determine the significance of the knee injury that caused him to miss Friday's game against Brooklyn. Look for a further update on his availability to come ahead of tipoff, though at this point it appears that he'll be held out again. In that case, Chandler Hutchison and Denzel Valentine should continue to play expanded roles.
Jan 31, 2020
Exits early vs. Brooklyn
Dunn won't return to Friday's game against the Nets after suffering a right knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Dunn hit the floor hard within the first minute of the game and was slow to get up. He eventually limped to the locker room and the team has since announced that he won't return to the contest. Expect the details of Dunn's injury to emerge in the near future. Chandler Hutchison and Denzel Valentine should see more minutes with Dunn out of the picture.
Jan 31, 2020
Good to go Friday
Dunn (quadriceps) is starting Friday's game against Brooklyn, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Dunn will start Friday's matchup despite being deemed probable on Thursday's injury report with a right quad injury. He's averaging 10.7 points, five rebounds and 4.4 assists over his last seven starts.
Jan 30, 2020
Probable Friday
Dunn is listed as probable for Friday's game in Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Nearly half of the Bulls' roster will carry a probable designation into Friday, but there's not much reason to believe Dunn will miss any time. He's currently battling a minor quad strain in his right leg.
Jan 27, 2020
Third straight 10-point effort
Dunn delivered 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), eight assists, six rebounds, three steals and one block in 35 minutes during Monday's 110-109 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has shown a knack for contributing on both ends of the floor during any given night and while the fourth-year point guard is averaging his lowest scoring figure since joining the Bulls ahead of the 2017-18 season, he might provide decent value in deepest formats due to his ability to fill the stat sheet on a consistent basis. For what is worth, he has scored 10 or more points in each of his last six starts.
Jan 26, 2020
Extends double-digit scoring run
Dunn had 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3PT, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 118-106 win at Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has scored in double digits in each of his last five starts and while he hasn't topped the 15-point plateau in any of those contests, he has also filled the stat sheet nicely with multiple steals, assists and boards in each of those games. His value is tied directly to his ability to fill the stat sheet, and he has looked quite productive over the last few weeks.
Jan 25, 2020
Complete line in defeat
Dunn had 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3PT, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's 98-81 loss against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Dunn's value lies on the fact that he's able to fill the stat sheet with ease, but he is taking a bit more responsibility on the scoring end -- he has reached double-digit points ih four straight games. His upside would certainly increase if he can score close to 10 points per game on a nightly basis, as he does enough in other areas of the game to support his limited scoring figures.
Jan 23, 2020
Grabs seven rebounds in win
Dunn posted 14 points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 117-110 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Dunn only attempted four shots but was able to draw fouls effectively, converting eight of nine shots from the charity stripe. He also added two steals to a five-game run of thievery, with a total of 11 steals over his last five games.
Jan 20, 2020
Scores 15 vs. Bucks
Dunn finished with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five boards, two assists and three steals in 32 minutes of a 111-98 loss to the Bucks on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Dunn matched his high in points for this month while also notching a solid line across the board against the Bucks. His third season with the Bulls has seen his numbers drop across the board, but he's now scored double digits in back-to-back games. He'll look to keep trending in the right direction against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
Jan 9, 2020
Records five steals
Dunn had 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3PT), seven assists, five steals and four rebounds in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 123-108 loss at New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has scored in double digits just thrice -- but failing to top the 15-point plateau -- over his last 10 games, but he has averaged 4.6 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 2.5 steals during that span. He needs to score more regularly to boost his upside, but his ability to fill the stat sheet is enough to keep him rostered on most formats.
Dec 16, 2019
Set to play Monday
Dunn (knee) will be available Monday against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The Bulls put more than half of their roster on the injury report but, as expected, most of those designations looked to only be precautionary. Dunn, who's started every game since Nov. 29, will be available Monday -- two days after he had nine points, nine rebounds, four assists, two steals and three blocks in an upset win over the Clippers.
Dec 13, 2019
Available vs. Charlotte
Dunn (knee) has been cleared to play Friday against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Dunn was tagged as probable due to a knee issue, but as expected, he'll be available to take the court Friday night. He's started seven straight contests, averaging 8.9 points and 4.1 rebounds over that stretch.
Dec 12, 2019
Deemed probable
Dunn (knee) is probable for Friday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Dunn is dealing with patellar tendinitis in his right knee, though it doesn't sound like the issue will keep him from suiting up Friday. Since joining the starting lineup at the end of November, Dunn is averaging 8.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.0 steals in 26.3 minutes per game.
