Saddiq Bey Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Rockets vs Pelicans game on Thursday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 9, 2025
Remains relevant Monday
Bey registered 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Monday's 135-132 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Despite the return of Herbert Jones, Bey remained heavily involved for the Pelicans with the team deploying a small-ball lineup. With Zion Williamson (adductor) unable to stay healthy, Bey's window for fantasy relevance could stay wide open for the foreseeable future.
Dec 7, 2025
Productive again Saturday
Bey racked up 18 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes during Saturday's 119-101 loss to Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-year forward continues to shoulder a big load on offense for the injury-ravaged Pelicans. Bey has started eight straight games and scored at least 18 points in all of them, averaging 19.9 points, 8.6 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.4 steals in 34.1 minutes a contest over that stretch.
Dec 5, 2025
Pours in 20 points
Bey finished Thursday's 125-116 loss to Minnesota with 20 points (8-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three steals in 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bey continues to step up for the shorthanded Pelicans and has been on quite the run. Over his last eight games, Bey has produced averages of 18.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 48.6 percent shooting from the field.
Dec 3, 2025
Another 20-point performance
Bey racked up 22 points (7-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Bey scored at least 20 points for the fourth time in the past five games, continuing to make a name for himself on a team desperate for production. Earlier in the day, Zion Williamson was ruled out for at least three weeks with an adductor injury. This should ensure that Bey remains a sizeable piece of the rotation, making him a must-roster player across most formats. In eight games over the past two weeks, he has averaged 15.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 30.5 minutes per game.
Dec 1, 2025
Posts double-double in loss
Bey posted 22 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Bey recorded his fourth double-double of the season, with all of those milestones occurring over the last eight days. The Pelicans' injury woes have earned Bey five consecutive starts. He's performed well in the adjusted role, averaging 19.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists ans 1.6 steals.
Nov 30, 2025
Fills stat sheet vs. Golden State
Bey chipped in 21 points (7-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Saturday's 104-96 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Bey was unable to record a fourth consecutive double-double, but the fifth-year veteran continues to find ways to make an impact on both ends of the court. Bey has scored at least 18 points and grabbed at least seven boards in each of his last four starts, and that consistency is certainly something fantasy managers can take advantage of regardless of the format of your league. Bey should remain productive as long as he remains in a starting role.
Nov 27, 2025
Third straight double-double
Bey closed with 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 133-128 overtime loss to Memphis.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-year forward has suddenly become a force on the glass. Bey has started three straight games while Herbert Jones (calf) has been unavailable and he's produced a double-double in all three, averaging 18.7 points, 11.3 boards, 3.3 assists, 2.7 threes and 2.0 steals in 33.7 minutes a contest. Jones is expected to miss at least one more game, but it could be tough to dislodge Bey from the starting five given his impressive level of play over the last week.
Nov 25, 2025
Second consecutive double-double
Bey recorded 20 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 143-130 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Bey did more than just record a second consecutive double-double. He set a new season-high mark in rebounds and tied his previous season-high mark in steals while also reaching the 20-point mark for the first time since Nov. 12. Bey has been remarkably efficient when deployed in a starting role, averaging 15.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists as a member of the first unit.
Nov 22, 2025
Puts up double-double Saturday
Bey registered 18 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 115-98 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Bey was sharp as a scoring weapon and also looked active on the boards en route to posting his first double-double of the season. Bey has been outstanding when playing as a starter and has scored in double digits in his last seven starts, but his long-term upside will remain minimal as long as Zion Williamson (hamstring injury management), who didn't play Saturday, remains healthy.
Nov 22, 2025
Starting vs. Atlanta
Bey will start Saturday's game against the Hawks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Herbert Jones (back) sidelined, Bey will rejoin the starting five. Over seven starts this season, the 26-year-old forward has averaged 14.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 31.1 minutes per game.
Nov 19, 2025
Good to go Wednesday
Bey (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Bey will return from a one-game absence to face Denver. The forward had been dealing with a sprained left ankle. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) back in action, Bey should return to a bench role. Still, expect Bey to see significant run.
Nov 18, 2025
Questionable to face Denver
Bey (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Bey is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to a sprained left ankle. If the 26-year-old forward remains out, Derik Queen, Jordan Hawkins and Micah Peavy are candidates for increased playing time. Bey has started each of his last six appearances, averaging 15.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 31.7 minutes per game during that span.
Nov 17, 2025
Won't play Monday
Bey (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchhup with the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Bey will miss Monday's game after tweaking his ankle during Sunday's loss to the Warriors, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. With Bey unavailable, Jordan Hawkins should see a minutes bump.
Nov 17, 2025
Late add to injury report Monday
Bey (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Bey was a late addition to the Pelicans' injury report with a left ankle sprain. The Villanova product has started the past six games, averaging 15.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 31.7 minutes per contest. Even if he suits up Monday, Bey could shift back to a bench role with Zion Williamson (hamstring) potentially returning after a seven-game absence.
Nov 15, 2025
Struggles with shot in loss
Bey finished with 11 points (3-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 118-104 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Bey finished just three rebounds and three assists away from a triple-double, so on the surface, his performance wasn't bad by any means. However, Bey had a rough shooting outing, and this 11-point output was his lowest mark in his last five outings since moving to a starting role. Despite the subpar showing, Bey should remain in the first unit and should continue to have green light to shoot from almost anywhere in a Pelicans team with very few proven offensive weapons as long as Zion Williamson (hamstring) remains sidelined.
Nov 13, 2025
Scores season-high 25 points
Bey finished Wednesday's 125-117 loss to the Trail Blazers with 25 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bey set a new high-scoring mark in this loss and also reached a season-high output in assists. The fifth-year forward opened the season in a bench role but has been one of the best players for the Pels of late since moving to the starting lineup four games ago. Over that span, Bey is averaging 18.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game while shooting 49.1 percent from the floor and 44 percent from three-point range.
Nov 11, 2025
Goes for 15 points in loss Monday
Bey closed with 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 121-98 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Bey has started in each of the Pelicans' last three games and has scored in double digits each time. He's proven he can post solid numbers if needed, though the starting role is only due to the absences of the likes of Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Jordan Poole (quadriceps). Expect Bey to remain in the starting lineup for the Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, and while he could be a decent streaming option, he hasn't shown enough to be a consistent starter in all fantasy formats.
Nov 5, 2025
Season-best outing in start
Bey ended Wednesday's 101-99 win over Dallas with 22 points (9-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
It was the second start of the season for Bey, who responded to the promotion by posting season highs in points, boards and treys. The Pelicans are likely to continue asking more of Bey until they're able to bring Zion Williamson (hamstring) back into the mix. Bey is working his way onto deep-league fantasy radars, averaging 11.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per contest across eight games this season.
Nov 5, 2025
Starting sans Poole
Bey will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Bey will get the nod in the first five with Jordan Poole (knee) ruled out. Bey will be joined by Jeremiah Fears, Trey Murphy, Herbert Jones and Kevon Looney.
Nov 5, 2025
Steps up in victory
Bey notched 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and four rebounds across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Bey scored a season-high 17 points, stepping up in the absence of Zion Williamson, who was earlier ruled out for up to 10 days with yet another hamstring injury. While Bey's overall game is somewhat limited, he could certainly be in line for more playing time over the coming games. If you need points and threes, he could be worth a look.
Oct 28, 2025
Scores 11 off bench
Bey recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals over 24 minutes during Monday's 122-90 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Bey was relegated back to the bench after starting Friday in place of Yves Missi (ankle). Even with Zion Williamson (foot) missing Monday's game, Bey remained among the second unit, with New Orleans electing to elevate rookie Jeremiah Fears instead. Despite the lineup carousel being spun due to injury, Bey will still see meaningful time on the court, regardless of his position among the starters or the bench.
Oct 27, 2025
Bench role Monday
Bey was not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Celtics, per the broadcast.
ANALYSIS
Bey drew a spot start Friday but will shift back to a bench role with Yves Missi (ankle) returning to the lineup. Even as a reserve, Bey should still log meaningful minutes, especially with Zion Williamson (foot) unavailable.
Oct 24, 2025
Starting Friday
Bey will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Yves Missi (ankle) won't be available for Friday's game, so Zion Williamson will slide over to center with Bey starting at power forward. Bey should be able to flirt with minutes in the mid-30s as a starter Friday evening, so he's on the radar as a potential dart throw in daily fantasy leagues.
Oct 23, 2025
All-around performance off bench
Bey dropped 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and a steal over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 128-122 loss to Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Bey was the only bench player to touch 30 minutes of play, but it is worth noting Yves Missi exited the contest early with an ankle injury. Bey paced the second unit in shot attempts, rebounds, assists and steals, and is expected to be a major contributor moving forward, especially if Missi ends up missing time.
Oct 14, 2025
Fills up stat sheet off bench
Bey finished with 16 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 130-128 preseason loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Bey led the way for his squad off the bench. He checked a few boxes, as he and Jeremiah Fears (20) combined for 36 points.
Oct 5, 2025
Drops 21 points Saturday
Bey amassed 21 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes in Saturday's 127-92 exhibition game win over the Melbourne Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Bey led all players in scoring, bouncing back after going 0-for-3 with zero points in Friday's win over Melbourne United. After missing the entire 2024-25 campaign due to a torn ACL, the 26-year-old forward has an opportunity to carve out a meaningful role behind Herbert Jones (ankle) this season.
Oct 3, 2025
Scoreless in fill-in start
Bey finished scoreless (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with two rebounds, one assist , one steal and one block across 21 minutes of Friday's 107-97 preseason win over Melbourne United.
ANALYSIS
Bey, who missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn left ACL, saw his first taste of live action in this win. He started in place of the injured Herbert Jones (ankle), and it's a good sign that he was able to play 21 minutes in his first game back. If the Pelicans are at 100 percent for Opening Night, Bey is likely to be one of the first wings off the bench.
Sep 23, 2025
Says he's 100 percent
Bey, who missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn left ACL, said Tuesday that he'll be ready for Opening Night.
ANALYSIS
Bey said the rehab process was long and that he's just grateful to be back on the court. Even though Bey said he'll be ready for Opening Night, it's fair to expect that the Pelicans will be cautious throughout training camp and the preseason as the team builds him back up. Bey is expected to be a key reserve on the wings behind Trey Murphy and Herbert Jones in 2025-26.
Jun 24, 2025
Traded to New Orleans
Bey (knee) was traded to the Wizards on Tuesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey was traded along with Jordan Poole and the No. 40 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft in exchange for CJ McCollum (foot) and Kelly Olynyk (heel). Bey missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn left ACL, though he's expected to make a full recovery ahead of Opening Night in 2025-26. Bey, who turned 26 back in April, could carve out a decent rotation role on the wings in New Orleans. The wing holds career averages of 14.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals while shooting 35.2 percent from beyond the arc.
Apr 12, 2025
Now listed as out Sunday
Bey (knee) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Despite being listed as available on Washington's previous report, Bey is now set to miss the final game of the 2024-25 campaign due to a torn left ACL. Bey will look to make a full recovery ahead of next season.
Apr 12, 2025
Set to play Sunday
Bey (knee) is available for Sunday's game versus the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Bey is available to play Sunday after missing the first 81 games of the season due to recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee. However, it would be surprising for Bey to handle a significant workload.
Apr 10, 2025
Remaining out for Friday
Bey (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Bey has yet to suit up this season while he recovers from surgery that he underwent in March of 2024 to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. His last chance to suit up this season will come Sunday against the Heat.
Apr 9, 2025
Ruled out for Wednesday
Bey (knee) will not play Wednesday against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Bey continues to recover from surgery in March of 2024 to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, and there's been no indication that lately that he's planning to return for the final two games of the regular season.
Apr 7, 2025
Still out Tuesday
Bey (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Bey continues to recover from surgery in March of 2024 to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. Bey's next chance to play is Wednesday against the 76ers, but it doesn't appear likely that he'll be available for that contest, either.
Apr 5, 2025
Remains out for Sunday
Bey (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Bey has not played a game for the Wizards this season as he recovers from left knee surgery. The next opportunity for him to make his season debut will be Tuesday against the Pacers.
Apr 3, 2025
Out again Thursday
Bey (knee) will not play Thursday against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Bey has yet to make an appearance this season and remains without a target date to return. His next chance to play comes Sunday against Boston.
Apr 1, 2025
Ruled out against Sacramento
Bey (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Bey hasn't played a game all season for the Wizards as he continues to recover from surgery on his left knee. The next chance for the 24-year-old forward to return to the floor for Washington will be Thursday against the Magic.
Mar 23, 2025
Back with NBA club
The Wizards recalled Bey (knee) from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Bey continues his lengthy rehab following surgery to repair a torn ACL, which he sustained while playing for the Hawks on March 20, 2024. He appears to be inching closer to game action after practicing in the G League for a second straight day, and according to Josh Robbins of The Athletic, the Wizards' goal is for Bey to make his team debut at some point in April. However, a firmer timeline for Bey's season debut likely won't come until he gets more practice time under his belt.
Mar 22, 2025
Headed back to G League
The Wizards assigned Bey (knee) to the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Bey will head to the G Leauge yet again to continue his recovery process from a torn left ACL. Bey has yet to suit up for the Wizards this season.
Mar 21, 2025
Returns to parent club
The Wizards recalled Bey (knee) from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Bey has yet to suit up this season after tearing his left ACL in March of 2024. While Bey appears to be gearing up toward a return to action, it's unclear if he will suit up before the end of the regular season.
Mar 21, 2025
Assigned to G League
Washington assigned Bey to the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Friday, Josh Robbins reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey tore his left ACL in March of 2024, and after a year of rehab, he could be on the verge of a return. Bey is scheduled to practice in the G League on Friday and Saturday, and if his knee responds well, he could potentially make his return to the court at some point in April.
Mar 2, 2025
Remains out indefinitely
Bey (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Heat and will remain sidelined indefinitely.
ANALYSIS
Bey has yet to make his season debut and likely won't while he continues to rehab from a torn ACL in his left knee. He's nearing the one-year mark following his surgery.
Feb 28, 2025
Will not play Saturday
Bey (knee) will not play Saturday against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Bey has yet to make his season debut for the Wizards, and there is no word on when he may return. For now, until more news comes out regarding his recovery, its safe to assume Bey won't play any time soon.
Feb 22, 2025
No timetable for return
Bey (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic and remains without a timetable for his return.
ANALYSIS
Bey has yet to play a game this season for the Wizards while rehabbing from a torn ACL in his left knee, and he doesn't have a clear timetable for his return to action. The Wizards haven't updated his status and it's unclear how far along he is in his rehab process, but he's not expected to return to the court in the coming days, and might be considered week-to-week in a best-case scenario at this point.
Feb 20, 2025
Ruled out against Milwaukee
Bey (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Bey hasn't played a game during the 2024-25 campaign for the Wizards, and that trend will continue Friday against Milwaukee. It remains to be seen when the 24-year-old forward will make his season debut as he continues his rehab from offseason surgery on his left knee.
Jan 30, 2025
Remains sidelined
Bey (knee) will remain out for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Bey has been sidelined all season while recovering from the surgery he underwent last March to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. The Wizards haven't provided any updates on Bey's status since training camp, making it difficult to gauge where exactly he stands in his recovery. At this point, Bey doesn't look as though he'll be a candidate to make his Wizards debut until after the All-Star break.
Oct 15, 2024
No return timetable
Coach Brain Keefe said Tuesday that Bey (knee) doesn't have a return timetable, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Key tore his ACL in March and is still rehabbing but has done some on-court work during Washington's training camp. However, he's still not cleared for contact and is likely months away from returning to game action.
Jul 10, 2024
Agrees to deal with Wizards
Bey has agreed to a three-year, $20 million contract with the Wizards, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey is coming off a down year in which he converted a career-low 31.6 percent of his three-point attempts across 63 games with the Hawks, but maybe a change of scenery will help him rediscover his sharpshooting ways. Unfortunately, he's still rehabbing from an ACL tear that he suffered in March, so it's unlikely he'll be ready for the start of the 2024-25 season.
Jun 29, 2024
Will become a free agent
The Hawks are not expected to deliver a qualifying offer to Bey (knee), and he will become an unrestricted free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey tore his ACL on March 10 against the Pelicans, cutting what could potentially be his final season with the Hawks short. The 25-year-old appeared in 63 regular-season games for the team last season, during which he averaged 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals across 32.7 minutes. While he will not be ready for the start of the 2024-25 season, Bey will likely garner interest around the league as he looks to return for the latter part of the season.
Apr 2, 2024
Gets ACL surgery
Bey underwent successful surgery March 27 to repair the torn ACL in his left knee.
ANALYSIS
Given that recoveries from ACL tears for basketball players can often take between 8-to-12 months, Bey is likely to be sidelined for at least the early part of the 2024-25 season. The knee injury comes at a particularly brutal time for Bey, who was set to become a free agent this summer and will now likely be in store for a much less favorable contract on the open market. Before suffering the season-ending injury, Bey averaged 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals in 32.7 minutes per game over his 63 appearances for Atlanta.
Mar 11, 2024
Suffers ACL tear, out for season
Bey suffered a torn left ACL and is out for the remainder of the season, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a massive blow to the Hawks, and the timing for Bey is awful as he's set to hit restricted free agency this summer. He'll end the campaign with 63 appearances and averages of 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.8 three-pointers on 41.6 percent shooting from the field. Bey's absence will open up a lot of minutes in Atlanta, and guys like Garrison Mathews, Bogdan Bogdanovic and De'Andre Hunter could have more opportunities going forward.
Mar 10, 2024
Exits with hyperextended knee
Bey sustained a hyperextended left knee during Sunday's game against the Pelicans and will not return.
ANALYSIS
Bey exited early in the fourth quarter in obvious pain, so his status will be worth keeping a close eye on over the next couple of days as Atlanta heads into a three-game week. Prior to the injury, Bey started and played 27 minutes, finishing with 14 points (3-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and two assists.
Mar 2, 2024
Paces Atlanta in scoring Saturday
Bey totaled 23 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Bey led the Hawks in scoring and was the only player who surpassed the 20-point mark for Atlanta, but his contributions were not enough to secure the victory. Bey has been relegated to a secondary role on offense in recent weeks, but this was the first time he reached the 20-point mark since Feb. 10. He has also surpassed the 15-point plateau in three of his five appearances following the All-Star break.
Feb 24, 2024
Pops for 18 against Raptors
Bey provided 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Friday's 123-121 loss to Toronto.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year forward just missed his ninth double-double of the season. Bey appears to be blossoming in Atlanta -- he's scored in double digits in seven straight games, and 12 straight if you don't count a Feb. 2 tilt against Phoenix that he left early due to a minor ankle injury. In those 12 contests, Bey is averaging 18.3 points, 7.6 boards, 2.3 threes and 2.1 assists.
Feb 10, 2024
Double-doubles in win
Bey closed with 18 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 127-121 victory over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Bey delivered his eighth double-double of the season, scoring at least 18 points for the third straight game. After a two-point dud against the Suns, Bey has found his rhythm, providing serviceable 12-team value over that time. He is likely to be on the fringes of 12-team leagues for the remainder of the season, depending on whether you are prioritizing points and threes.
Feb 8, 2024
Leading scorer in Wednesday's loss
Bey amassed 25 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 125-117 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
The former Piston led the Hawks in scoring on a night when Trae Young had trouble getting his shot to fall against Boston's defense and Dejounte Murray (back) was in street clothes. Bey's production remains erratic -- twice in the last nine games, he's scored two points or less -- but the fourth-year forward has in general been a solid complementary piece for Atlanta, averaging 14.4 points, 6.6 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.6 threes over his last 16 contests.
Feb 6, 2024
Scores 18 points
Bey chipped in 18 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 149-144 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Bey returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle issue and looked very sharp for the Hawks. De'Andre Hunter's minutes are expected to ramp up which could potentially impact Bey, but the Hawks could also utilize a lot of smaller lineups in the absence of Clint Capela (adductor) which could benefit both Bey and Hunter.
Feb 5, 2024
Available for Monday's matchup
Bey (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey missed Saturday's game against the Warriors due to an ankle injury, but he'll return to action following a minimal absence. Over his last five full appearances, he's averaged 18.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 34.2 minutes per game.
Feb 4, 2024
Questionable for Monday
Bey (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Bey is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. De'Andre Hunter (knee management) is also questionable, but Wesley Matthews (calf) has been removed from the injury report, joining Garrison Mathews in a shallow rotation of healthy wings.
Feb 3, 2024
Out Saturday
Bey (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game versus the the Warriors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey exited Friday's game against the Suns after spraining his ankle, so his absence on the second half of the team's back-to-back set is unsurprising. As a result, Garrison Mathews and Onyeka Okongwu could see a slight increase in minutes.
Feb 2, 2024
Will not return due to ankle
Bey will not return to Friday's game against the Suns due to a left ankle sprain. He finished with two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and three rebounds in 16 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bey tweaked his ankle right before halftime, and after attempting to warm up again, the Hawks decided to hold him out. Wesley Matthews started the second half in his place. For now, Bey should be considered questionable for Saturday's game against Golden State.
Jan 31, 2024
Productive in Tuesday's win
Bey logged 18 points (5-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 138-122 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The Hawks are mostly healthy at the moment, and the fourth-year forward is still in the starting lineup while De'Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic are coming off the bench. Bey's offense remains somewhat erratic -- he scored zero points in 30 minutes Jan. 20 against the Cavs -- but overall he's providing solid numbers in a supporting role, averaging 13.7 points, 6.7 boards, 1.9 assists and 1.4 threes through 15 games in January despite shooting 35.5 percent from the floor and 23.1 percent from long distance.
Jan 20, 2024
Goes 0-for-12 in loss
Bey had zero points (0-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Saturday's 116-95 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Bey was terrible in the loss, missing all 12 of his shot attempts. This is about as bad as it gets for Bey, highlighting why it is hard to consider him a must-roster player in standard formats. He is probably worth holding for now, despite this effort, if you need points and threes with a sprinkling of defensive numbers.
Jan 16, 2024
Passive performance Monday
Bey closed with 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Monday's 109-99 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Bey tallied double-digits for the fifth straight game, although that's where the good news ends for managers. Despite playing a crucial role for the Hawks, Bey has been unable to turn his playing time into anything but serviceable production. Over the past two weeks, he is averaging 13.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 33.1 minutes per night.
Jan 11, 2024
Double-double against Sixers
Bey logged 15 points (6-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 139-132 overtime victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Four of the Hawks' starters came through with double-doubles in the OT victory, and Bey's was his sixth of the season. Five of those have come in the last 14 contests, a stretch in which the fourth-year forward is averaging 12.6 points, 7.9 boards, 1.8 threes, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals. Bey's also shooting a poor 36.4 percent from the floor during that time, however, limiting his fantasy utility in roto formats.
Dec 23, 2023
Records double-double in loss
Bey finished Friday's 122-113 loss to Miami with 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 40 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The Hawks came up short against the Heat, but Bey delivered a strong performance and continues to show he's more than capable of handling the starting power forward role. However, his role in the long run will be determined by the recovery of Jalen Johnson (wrist), who was starting before getting sidelined. Bey is averaging 13.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game since moving back to a starting role.
Dec 19, 2023
Scores 21 in win over Pistons
Bey registered 21 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 42 minutes during Monday's 130-124 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Bey has been playing as a starter in recent weeks due to the absence of Jalen Johnson (wrist), and he delivered an impressive outing against his former team. Bey has scored in double digits in 11 of his 14 contests as a starter, a role he's expected to retain in the coming weeks until Johnson is able to return to the hardwood.
Dec 17, 2023
Struggles with shot in loss
Bey closed Saturday's 127-119 loss to Cleveland with five points (1-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two steals across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bey's shot was off Saturday night, but he's been a consistent contributor of late due to multiple injuries in Atlanta's frontcourt, mainly Jalen Johnson (wrist). Bey has drawn 10 consecutive starts and averaged 13.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 35.7 minutes per game during that stretch.
Dec 15, 2023
Moves to bench
Bey won't start Friday's game against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey will move to the bench as the Hawks presumably attempt to match Atlanta's frontcourt size by sliding Onyeka Okongwu into the power forward spot next to Clint Capela. As a reserve this season (12 games), Bey has averaged 12.5 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 27.9 minutes per game.
Dec 14, 2023
Double-doubles in loss
Bey supplied 12 points (5-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 135-128 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Bey recorded his second double-double of the season, adding a pair of steals for good measure. A borderline top-80 player over the past month, Bey continues to benefit due to a wrist injury to Jalen Johnson. Over that span, he is averaging 14.6 points with 6.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.9 three-pointers. He remains a must-roster player across all formats, at least until Johnson returns to the lineup.
Dec 1, 2023
Scores 13 points in win
Bey closed with 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds and three steals over 34 minutes during Thursday's 137-135 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Bey was efficient on both ends of the court and delivered a decent stat line in an offense carried by Trae Young and Dejounte Murray. Bey has been playing as the starting power forward in place of Jalen Johnson (wrist), and he figures to remain in that role for the time being since Johnson is expected to be out for a few weeks in a best-case scenario.
Nov 26, 2023
Enters starting lineup Sunday
Bey is starting Sunday against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey came off the bench in his last 10 appearances but will rejoin the starting lineup Sunday with Jalen Johnson (wrist) sidelined. Johnson is slated to miss at least 3-to-4 weeks, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Bey retain a starting role in the coming weeks. Over three starts earlier this year, Bey averaged 11.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 29.0 minutes per game.
Nov 25, 2023
Plays 32 minutes off bench
Bey ended with 13 points (6-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 136-108 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Bey started the second half of Saturday's contest, as Jalen Johnson suffered a wrist injury and was unable to return. If Johnson misses additional time, Bey is the most likely candidate to start which could see his fantasy value trend up. In 28.2 minutes per game this season, Bey holds season averages of 12.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.6 three-pointers.
Nov 22, 2023
Double-doubles off bench Tuesday
Bey racked up 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 157-152 loss to Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Bey seems to have lost the starting power forward role to Jalen Johnson, but he seems determined to get it back based on how good he's played of late. Bey has scored in double digits in each of his last four outings while shooting 59 percent from the field in that stretch.
Nov 15, 2023
Strong revenge game
Bey posted 19 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 126-120 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Bey's 19 points marked a season high, and his output could have been partially motivated by playing against the team that traded him for James Wiseman last year. Bey's has been slightly duplicative on Atlanta's roster this year with Jalen Johnson and DeAndre Hunter directly competing for minutes, but he's still a two-way contributor at a primary position.
Nov 4, 2023
Moves back to bench
Bey is not in the starting lineup to face the Pelicans on Saturday, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey has been trading starts at power forward with Jalen Johnson, and he will move to the bench for the third time in Atlanta's last four contests. He's averaging 11.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per contest.
Nov 1, 2023
Gets starting nod
Bey isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey will replace Jalen Johnson in the starting lineup Wednesday. Bey is averaging 10.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals in 27.5 minutes across his previous two starting appearances this season.
Oct 29, 2023
Retreats to bench
Bey isn't starting Sunday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey started the first two games of the season but will retreat to the bench after he posted five points, a rebound, an assist and a block in 26 minutes during Friday's loss to the Knicks. Jalen Johnson will take his place in the starting lineup Sunday.
Oct 21, 2023
Hits for 13 in Friday's loss
Bey scored 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 Ft) while adding four rebounds and an assist in 24 minutes during Friday's 120-106 preseason loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old forward got pushed this preseason for a starting job by Jalen Johnson, but Bey seems to have done enough to stay in the starting five with two strong performances to close out the exhibition schedule after he popped for 21 points and 10 boards against the Pacers on Monday. His offensive contributions (14.8 PPG to 11.6 PPG) and usage rate (21.3% to 17.4%) declined last season after the trade that brought him over from Detroit, but Atlanta needs secondary scoring behind Trae Young, so Bey's three-point shooting should allow him to maintain a consistent role.
Oct 16, 2023
Feasts in win
Bey poured in 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT) while tacking on 10 rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes of action during Monday's 116-112 preseason loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Bey (rest) had been absent from Atlanta's two prior preseason games, but he set aside any injury speculation with a dominant performance in limited run Monday. The 24-year-old is well-positioned for an efficient scoring campaign entering his first full season with the Hawks.
Oct 14, 2023
Out again
Bey will not play in Saturday's exhibition game against the Pelicans for undisclosed reasons, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey's absence will mark his second straight preseason game missed. It was originally thought that the wing was getting some rest, but back-to-back games on the sidelines indicates he is dealing with something. Still, it is just the preseason so the Hawks could be exercising caution here. His next opportunity to suit up will come Monday in Indiana.
Oct 12, 2023
Won't play Thursday
Bey has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Hawks didn't indicate that Bey is dealing with an injury, so he's likely sitting out for rest purposes. Jalen Johnson and Mouhamed Gueye could see increased run in his absence, while Bey's next chance to suit up will be during Saturday's exhibition matchup against the Pelicans.
Apr 11, 2023
Won't start against Miami
Bey isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's Play-In game versus the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Despite starting in five of Atlanta's last six games, Bey will be replaced by John Collins in the starting lineup Tuesday. However, Bey can still be relied upon for his outside shooting, making 2.0 threes on 5.2 attempts across his 40 bench appearances this season.
Apr 9, 2023
Back in starting lineup
Bey will start Sunday against the Celtics, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With numerous regulars sidelined, Bey draws the start during Atlanta's regular-season finale and will be joined by Aaron Holiday, AJ Griffin, De'Andre Hunter and Onyeka Okongwu. Across his previous 36 starts this season, Bey has averaged 15.5 points and 5.1 rebounds in 30.5 minutes pre game.
Apr 7, 2023
Moves back to bench
Bey isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
De'Andre Hunter will replace Bey in the starting lineup Friday after missing the previous four games with a knee injury. Bey is averaging 12.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 25.3 minutes across his previous 39 appearances coming off the bench this season.
Mar 31, 2023
Scores 16 in starting unit
Bey closed with 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 124-107 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
De'Andre Hunter (left knee swelling) sat this game out, allowing Bey to slide into the starting lineup. Bey was trending up coming into Friday's outing, averaging 13.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in his previous five games. He was one of the few bright spots Friday evening, so he'll be looking to keep the momentum going on April 2 against Dallas.
Mar 31, 2023
Moves into starting lineup
Bey will start versus the Nets on Friday according to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.
ANALYSIS
De'Andre Hunter (left knee swelling) is sitting this one out for the Hawks. Hunter usually plays a ton of minutes for Atlanta, so this will be a great opportunity for Bey to see plenty of usage and shots. Bogdan Bogdanovic, AJ Griffin and Jalen Johnson are also candidates to see increased run.
Mar 29, 2023
Gets double-double in limited run
Bey finished Tuesday's 120-118 win over the Cavaliers with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Though he came away with his fourth double-double of the season, Bey still fell under the 25-minute mark for the sixth time in eight contests. He's averaging 10.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 three-pointers over that stretch of games, and that level of production makes him a better fit in 14-team leagues or deeper rather than 12-team formats.
Mar 27, 2023
Struggles in loss
Bey amassed nine points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Sunday's 123-119 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Bey scored single digits for the first time in his past four games, continuing what has been a modest yet underwhelming start to his Atlanta career. Since being traded to the Hawks, Bey has eclipsed 20 points only once, adding very little in terms of peripheral production. Given his role tends to fluctuate from one night to the next, he should be viewed as nothing more than a stream option for anyone in need of points and triples.
Mar 23, 2023
Efficient off bench Wednesday
Bey registered 16 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 125-124 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Bey failed to log more than 20 minutes off the bench for the third game in a row, but he scored in double digits for the second straight contest and is trying to make the most of his chance despite his decrease in playing time. He's averaging 10.8 points and 4.4 rebounds across 24.8 minutes per game since joining the Hawks, but those numbers are clearly a drop-off compared to what he was putting up at the beginning of the season when he was playing for the Pistons.
Mar 22, 2023
Double-double off bench Tuesday
Bey accumulated 14 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 129-107 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
It's his first double-double of the season, but the third-year forward continues to have trouble adjusting to his second-unit role on his new club. Bey managed a total of only 12 points over his prior three games, and in 15 contests for the Hawks he's averaging 10.4 points, 4.3 boards and 2.1 threes in 25.1 minutes a game. Barring an injury that moves him into the starting lineup and a bigger workload, the 23-year-old will be tough to rely on down the stretch.
Mar 12, 2023
Nice offensive outing
Bey finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 134-125 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Bey came off the bench to score 17 points, the fourth time in the past five games that he has scored at least 14 points. While his playing has been up and down since arriving in Atlanta, Bey has at least been able to hover around the top 100 in nine-category formats. He doesn't offer much outside of scoring and triples, although that alone can be enough to earn a roster spot in most leagues.
Mar 9, 2023
Goes ice cold Wednesday
Bey recorded two points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and three rebounds over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 122-120 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
After scoring a combined 39 points in the previous two games, Bey struggled Wednesday. However, ups and downs are nothing new for Bey. He has six performances this season with at least five made threes and 12 performances without a made triple.
Mar 7, 2023
Thriving on second unit
Bey finished Monday's 130-128 loss to the Heat with 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Though he continues to come off the bench for the Hawks, Bey appears to have emerged as the team's preferred sixth man over Bogdan Bogdanovic. While playing 67 minutes to Bogdanovic's 50 between the past two contests, Bey has erupted for 39 points on 59.1 percent shooting from the field and 53.8 percent shooting from three-point range. Even for an above-average perimeter threat like Bey, that level of shooting is unsustainable. Bey typically doesn't offer much production in other areas when his shot isn't falling, so expect a notable downturn in his overall fantasy output from his past two games sooner rather than later.
Mar 5, 2023
Scores team-high 22 points
Bey logged 22 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Bey came off the bench and outscored all of Atlanta's starters. His 22-point performance was his highest-scoring output since joining the Hawks, and he's now averaging 11.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 09 steals in 26.4 minutes with his new team (seven games).
Feb 26, 2023
Back to bench
Bey isn't starting Sunday's matchup against the Nets, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
With John Collins (concussion/back) available, Bey will shift back to his usual reserve role. Across three games with Atlanta, Bey is averaging 11.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 22.3 minutes, but he mustered only two points and five rebounds in 18 minutes during his lone appearance as a reserve with his new squad.
Feb 24, 2023
Gets starting nod
Bey is in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey will replace John Collins (concussion) in the starting five Friday. The 23-year-old forward is averaging 7.0 points and 5.0 rebounds in 19.5 minutes in his two games for Atlanta this season.
Feb 15, 2023
Returns to bench
Bey isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
John Collins will replace Bey in the starting lineup Wednesday. The 23-year-old forward will come off the bench for the first time with Atlanta.
Feb 13, 2023
Modest production in start
Bey closed Monday's 144-138 loss to the Hornets with 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one block across 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bey debuted for the Hawks on Monday, sliding straight into the starting lineup after John Collins was ruled out due to a hip issue. Despite starting, Bey logged only 21 minutes putting up 12 points including three triples. While it appears he will have a steady role moving forward, it is unlikely he sees enough playing time to warrant fantasy attention outside slightly deeper formats. At this point, it is more of a wait-and-see situation.
Feb 13, 2023
Draws start Monday
Bey is starting Monday's contest against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The recently acquired forward is listed as a starter for his first career game with the Hawks. Over Bey's 52 appearances with Detroit this season, the 23-year-old averaged 14.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals across 28.8 minutes per game.
Feb 13, 2023
Listed as available
Bey (trade pending) is listed as available for Monday's matchup against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Bey will be available to make his Hawks' debut Monday after the four-team trade between the Warriors, Hawks, Blazers and Pistons was finally completed Sunday night. Across 52 appearances (30 starts) with Detroit, Bey averaged 14.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes. However, he'll likely have a small role in Atlanta, as he's expected to operate as the primary backup to John Collins (hip) and De'Andre Hunter.
Feb 11, 2023
Ruled out Saturday
Updating a previous report, Bey (trade) has been ruled out of Saturday's matchup against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Bey won't make his debut Saturday, and it seems everything hinges on whether the Warriors accept the trade or not while understanding the injury issues regarding Gary Payton (core). Given the deadline to accept the trade is Sunday at 9.30 p.m. ET, Bey won't be playing until next week at the earliest, and if he stays with the Hawks, then his next chance to feature would come Monday at Charlotte.
Feb 11, 2023
Debut Saturday looking unlikely
Bey's (trade) Hawks debut is unlikely to occur Saturday against the Spurs, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey was part of a multi-team deal being held up due to the Warriors' medical staff's concerns about Gary Payton's (abdomen) physical. The Warriors have until 9:30 p.m. ET on Sunday to decide whether to go through with the trade, and it appears they'll wait as long as possible. Therefore, Bey is unlikely to be able to play Saturday, and he may actually end up back on the Pistons before the start of next week.
Feb 10, 2023
Questionable to make Hawks debut
Bey (trade pending) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Bey was traded to Atlanta in a three-team deal with the Pistons, Warriors and Hawks. He will likely compete for a backup forward spot when available. If Bey doesn't suit up Saturday, his next chance to make his debut will be Monday's matchup with Charlotte.
Feb 9, 2023
Dished to Atlanta
The Pistons traded Bey to Atlanta on Thursday as part of a three-team deal that sent James Wiseman to the Pistons and five second-round picks to the Warriors, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey was involved in talks between the Warriors and the Pistons, but it appears the Hawks were the third team involved and will be the one to acquire the third-year wing. He will provide the Hawks with another scoring threat, racking up 14.8 points, 4.7 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals over 28.8 minutes per game this season. Atlanta will presumably be required to make another move to open the roster spot for Bey, who should see a decent amount of playing time in Atlanta as well, though he may need to settle for a bench role.
Feb 4, 2023
Another big game off bench
Bey provided 25 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 116-100 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Bey did not start again on Saturday but made a big impact, leading his team with 25 points on 58.3 percent shooting. While he may still move back into the starting five based on matchup, he has proven he can provide a solid spark off the bench. The 23-year-old is also second on the team in minutes per game over the past month, trailing only Bojan Bogdanovic, so even if he continues in this role, he is still maintaining ample playing time.
Feb 3, 2023
Scores 22 in bench role
Bey closed with 22 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 118-112 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Bey moved to the bench for this one as the Pistons opted for a larger frontcourt with Isaiah Stewart starting next to Jalen Duren. Whether or not this is a permanent switch remains to be seen. Bey's production as a reserve is slightly lower than his output as a starter, although his usage rate is a bit higher with the second unit.
Feb 3, 2023
Not starting Friday
Bey isn't starting Friday's matchup against the Hornets, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey has started 10 straight and 13 of Detroit's past 15 games, but he'll shift back to the bench in favor of Isaiah Stewart, who'll be joined by Jaden Ivey, Alec Burks, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Jalen Duren. Across 18 appearances as a reserve, Bey has averaged 13.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 25.5 minutes per game.
Jan 31, 2023
Productive run continues
Bey amassed 18 points (5-15 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 111-105 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Bey put up another solid 12-team line in the loss, continuing what has been a nice return to form over the past two weeks. After a period in which he fell out of favor, not only in fantasy circles but also in Detroit, he has flipped the script of late, putting up top 60 value over the past two weeks. Confidence is not high when it comes to Dwane Casey's rotations but as long as Bey is playing key minutes as a starter, he is worth rostering.
Jan 27, 2023
Leads team in points, rebounds
Bey contributed 25 points (10-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists over 32 minutes during Thursday's 130-122 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Bey did most of his damage in the third quarter, knocking down six of seven shot attempts for 15 points, including all three of his attempts from beyond the arc. Outside of that the small forward went 4-of-12 for 11 points, though he did add five fourth-quarter rebounds to help the Pistons seal up a rare win on the road. Bey led the team in points (25), rebounds (9) and three-pointers made (5) and has now broken the 20-point mark in five of his last six.
Jan 24, 2023
Hits for 21 in loss
Bey ended with 21 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 150-130 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old appears to be getting more comfortable as a regular member of Detroit's starting five. Over his last six games, Bey is averaging 21.0 points, 6.3 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals, a vast improvement after he failed to score more than 13 points in any of his first four starts after moving back into the role in late December.
Jan 20, 2023
Grabs nine boards, three steals
Bey accumulated 16 points (6-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 28 minutes during Thursday's 126-108 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Bey went 3-of-8 from the field for eight points in each half and finished third on the team in rebounds with nine. He added a team-high three steals in the contest, which also matched a season high as the Pistons suffered their sixth loss in their last seven games. The small forward has now scored at least 15 points in five straight and is 12-of-25 from the three-point line over that stretch.
Jan 15, 2023
Lights it up from deep in loss
Bey amassed 21 points (6-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 117-104 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Bey connected on a team-high five threes while posting a team-high-tying point total in Sunday's loss. Bey has tallied scored 20 or more points with five or more rebounds in three straight games.
Jan 14, 2023
Puts up 20 points
Bey finished Friday's 116-110 loss to the Pelicans with 20 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bey was unable to lock in from the field, but he still managed to put up 20 points by getting to the charity stripe. He attempted 10 shots from the free-throw line, which marks his most since Dec. 4 against Memphis. Bey is averaging 17.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists in four consecutive starts.
Jan 12, 2023
Pours in season-high 31
Bey produced 31 points (10-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 135-118 victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
With the Pistons missing multiple starters, Bey stepped up and topped 30 points for the first time this season. The third-year forward still isn't as consistent as Detroit would like, scoring just two points against the Sixers on Sunday, but over his last nine games Bey is averaging a solid 15.2 points, 4.3 boards, 2.2 threes, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.7 minutes a night.
Jan 11, 2023
Solid numbers against Sixers
Bey contributed 17 points (4-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 147-116 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The Pistons got balanced scoring up and down the lineup, with Bey, Jaden Ivey and Rodney McGruder all tying for the team lead, but nobody was able to step up and come close to matching Joel Embiid's 36 points for the Sixers. Bey has started five of the last seven games due to a number of injuries across Detroit's roster, but his production hasn't changed -- the third-year forward is averaging 11.1 points, 3.6 boards, 1.4 threes, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.7 minutes over that stretch.
Jan 8, 2023
Enters starting five
Bey will start at forward in Sunday's game against the 76ers, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey will reclaim a spot on the top unit while Isaiah Stewart slides over from power forward to pick up a start at center in place of the injured Jalen Duren (ankle). The starting assignment could result in a mild uptick in playing time for Bey, but he could return to the bench as soon as Tuesday's rematch with the 76ers in Philadelphia if Duren is available to play.
Jan 5, 2023
Strong performance off the bench
Bey poured in 17 points (6-17 Fg, 4-10 3Pt, 1-1 Ft), three rebounds, one assist, and three rebounds on 29 minutes of play, off the bench.
ANALYSIS
After starting the last three contests in place of suspended Killian Hayes, Bey returned to his role coming off the bench. He drilled a three-pointer to give Detroit a seven-point lead with just 1:12 left in the fourth quarter.
Jan 4, 2023
Coming off bench
Bey will not start in Wednesday's meeting with Golden State, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey's three-game stint in the starting five comes to an end Wednesday with Killian Hayes (suspension) back in action. Across that stretch, Bey tallied 10.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 25.4 minutes per contest.
Dec 30, 2022
Starting Friday
Bey will join the first unit for Friday's game against the Bulls, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey will draw the start with Killian Hayes serving the first of his three-game suspension Friday. He is joined by Jaden Ivey, Bojan Bogdanovic, Isaiah Stewart and Jalen Duren in the starting five. In 17 starts this season, Bey has averaged 15.1 points and 4.7 rebounds in 31.3 minutes per game.
Dec 29, 2022
Big night in wild win
Bey accumulated 28 points (8-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 121-101 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
The game was marred by a bench-clearing scuffle in the second quarter, and after the refs got things settled down, both Killian Hayes and Hamidou Diallo had been ejected for Detroit. Bey seized the opportunity to tie his season high in scoring while coming up a little short of his second double-double of the campaign. The 23-year-old's production remains somewhat inconsistent on the second unit, however -- over 14 games in December, he's scored 20 or more points three times but in single digits four times, averaging 13.4 points, 3.6 boards, 2.1 threes, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 25.4 minutes a night.
Dec 20, 2022
Diminished role continues Tuesday
Bey recorded seven points (2-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 126-111 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Bey continues to play limited minutes off the bench, logging fewer than 21 minutes for the third time in his past four games. After opening the season as a starter, things have gone south for Bey, resulting in him now sitting well outside the top 150 in 12-team formats. Based on recent trends, he is safe to drop in standard formats and should be viewed as nothing more than a points streamer.
Dec 15, 2022
Held in check vs. Hornets
Bey totaled five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT) in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 141-134 overtime win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Although Wednesday's matchup went into overtime, Bey matched his lowest minutes total of the season and was held to a single-digit scoring total for the first time since Dec. 1. Over nine appearances since returning from a four-game absence, he's averaged 13.8 points and 3.2 rebounds in 25.9 minutes per game.
Dec 11, 2022
Leads bench with double-digit game
Bey ended with 14 points (5-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 26 minutes during Sunday's 124-117 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Bey led Detroit's bench in scoring and shots made from three, surpassing the double-digit scoring mark for the fifth straight game. Bey has averaged 17.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists in his last five games, averaging 2.4 threes per game over that span.
Dec 10, 2022
Poor shooting night Friday
Bey closed with 10 points (2-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 114-103 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Bey struggled to find any rhythm on the offensive end, ending with a paltry 10 points on 2-of-10 shooting. It appears Bey is going to continue to come off the bench for the Pistons, limiting his upside. Minutes are going to be the key factor when evaluating his ROS value. If he can maintain at least 25 per night, he should at least remain on the standard league radar, especially for anyone in need of points.
Dec 7, 2022
Drops 25 points on New Orleans
Bey provided 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 104-98 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Bey shot 52.9 percent from the field and fared well from beyond the arc, where he knocked down a season-high five triples. The Villanova product has now scored in double figures in five of his last six contests, averaging 15.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steal over this span.
Dec 4, 2022
Leads Detroit in scoring
Bey registered 24 points (7-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-12 FT), six rebounds and seven assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's 122-112 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Bey managed to do damage from the charity stripe in this one, attempting a season-high 12 free throws after shooting nine free throws in his last five contests combined. Sunday also marked the first time he hit the 20-point threshold since Nov. 7 against the Thunder.
Nov 29, 2022
Coming off bench Tuesday
Bey will come off the bench Tuesday against the Knicks, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
With Bojan Bogdanovic (knee) and Isaiah Stewart (toe) both returning to the lineup, Bey will come off the bench for just the second time all season. Isaiah Livers is starting in the place of the injured Jaden Ivey (knee). This month, Bey is averaging 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 31.3 minutes.
Nov 27, 2022
Scores 15 points in return
Bey amassed 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Bey returned to the lineup Sunday, ending with 15 points in 35 minutes. While the production was far from eyepopping, the fact he played 35 minutes in his first game back would indicate he is fully recovered and ready to roll. The Pistons were without a number of key pieces in this one and so managers should be prepared for a downturn in playing time once the playing ranks are close to fully stocked.
Nov 27, 2022
Returns to starting role
Bey (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey missed four straight games with a right ankle sprain, but he returns to the starting unit as Detroit is missing quite a few pieces with injury -- the list includes Isaiah Stewart (toe), Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle), Jaden Ivey (knee) and Cade Cunningham (shin). Bey is averaging 14.2 points per game across nine appearances in November, and there's a chance he might have a higher usage rate than normal considering all the absences the Pistons are dealing with.
Nov 27, 2022
Cleared to return Sunday
Bey (ankle) will be available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
With Detroit listing all of Isaiah Stewart (toe), Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle), Jaden Ivey (knee) and Cade Cunningham (shin) as out for Sunday's tilt, Bey should be poised to step back into the starting five after missing the Pistons' last last four games with a right ankle sprain. Given the many absences for Detroit, Bey, who is averaging 14.7 points per game this season, could also take on a higher usage rate than normal.
Nov 26, 2022
Questionable against Cleveland
Bey (ankle) is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Bey is questionable to miss his fourth straight game due to a right ankle sprain. Isaiah Livers has been starting in his absence. If Bey can't play Sunday, his next chance to suit up will be Tuesday's game the Knicks.
Nov 21, 2022
Set to miss next three games
Head coach Dwane Casey said Monday that Bey flew back to Detroit to receive treatment for his sprained right ankle, signaling that forward won't be available for the remaining three contests of the Pistons' three-game road trip, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey, who sat out Sunday's loss to the Kings, will miss games Tuesday in Denver, Wednesday in Utah and Friday in Phoenix while he's back in Detroit to continue his rehab program. Once the Pistons return to Detroit on Saturday, expect another update on Bey's status to be made available. While Bey was sidelined Sunday, Isaiah Livers entered the starting five and Kevin Knox claimed a spot in Casey's rotation.
Nov 20, 2022
Ruled out Sunday
Bey (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Bey was initially ruled out for Sunday's matchup before being upgraded to questionable. However, he'll still be forced to miss at least one game after spraining his ankle during Friday's loss to the Lakers. Hamidou Diallo could see increased run against Sacramento.
Nov 20, 2022
Questionable versus Sacramento
Bey (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Bey suffered an ankle injury during Friday's loss to the Lakers. The Pistons are already shorthanded, so that might encourage Bey to suit up tonight, even if it's in a limited capacity.
Nov 19, 2022
Out Sunday
Bey (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Bey injured his ankle in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to the Lakers and will be out Sunday. Detroit is already shorthanded, with Isaiah Stewart (toe) and Cade Cunningham (shin) both out for an extended period. More minutes could be in store for Isaiah Livers, Marvin Bagley, Hamidou Diallo and Kevin Knox.
Nov 19, 2022
Injures ankle late Friday
Bey was removed in the fourth quarter of Friday's 128-121 loss to the Lakers with an apparent right ankle issue, and Pistons head coach Dwane Casey wasn't immediately sure about the severity of the injury when asked about the matter following the game, Greg Beacham of The Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Before departing, Bey finished with four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes. Bey looked to be in danger of moving into a permanent bench role after Marvin Bagley made his season debut last weekend, but the right toe sprain that Isaiah Stewart suffered in Monday's loss to Toronto reopened a spot in the starting five for Bey. If Bey is unable to suit up in Sunday's game in Sacramento, the Pistons could turn to Isaiah Livers or Hamidou Diallo to replace him in the starting five.
Nov 19, 2022
Exits early
Bey exited Friday's game against the Lakers late in the fourth quarter with an undisclosed injury, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It is unclear what injury Bey sustained, but he limped to the locker room prior to the game ending. If he is forced to miss any more time, Hamidou Diallo and Rodney McGruder would be candidates to see some extra run. His next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday against the Kings.
Nov 18, 2022
Grabs eight boards in loss
Bey had 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 96-91 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Bey was just one of three Detroit players to score in double figures on Thursday as the team suffered its fifth consecutive loss. He did not take a shot in the first quarter before going 2-of-5 from the field in the second to finish with six first-half points, along with five rebounds. Bey grabbed another three boards in the second half, including two on the offensive end, to give him his second-highest rebound total of the season with eight. The Pistons forward has now scored in double figures in nine of his last 10 games, though he continues to struggle from three, shooting just 26.5 percent from beyond the arc so far this month.
Nov 14, 2022
Coming off the bench Monday
Bey will come off the bench during Monday's contest against the Raptors, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After starting each of the Pistons' first 14 contests to begin the season, Bey is headed to the bench in favor of Marvin Bagley on Monday. Bey has averaged 16.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 31.6 minutes per game thus far.
Nov 8, 2022
Leads Detroit to win
Bey amassed 25 points (8-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 112-103 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The third-year forward led the Pistons in scoring while topping 20 points for the third time in the last five games. Bey is settling in as a complementary weapon for Detroit, averaging 17.0 points, 4.8 boards, 1.9 threes and 1.5 assists through 11 contests.
Nov 3, 2022
Scores team-high 22 points
Bey accumulated 22 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-91 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Bey has now scored in double digits in three games in a row and while he seems to be trending in the right direction from a scoring perspective, the lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis hinders his fantasy output. He's scored at least 20 points twice in that span, though, and he's averaging 16.8 points per game across his last five contests.
Oct 31, 2022
Regresses in Monday's loss
Bey accumulated 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 110-108 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The up-and-down season for Bey continued Monday, turning in another underwhelming performance. It appears he enjoys alternating strong performances with duds, something that is sure to provide managers with a lot of headaches should it continue. With that said, he does remain a 12-team asset, albeit a frustrating one.
Oct 30, 2022
Scores season-high 28 points
Bey accumulated 28 points (9-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 128-114 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Bey had scored just 30 points combined over his previous three outings before Sunday's season-high 28 points. Through seven games, he's made 45.5 percent of his shot attempts, a vast improvement of his 39.9 field-goal percentage in his first two years. He's not yet found the ability to consistently produce and remains a bit of a fantasy wild card night-to-night.
Oct 27, 2022
Improved effort in loss
Bey closed with 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT) and four rebounds over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 118-113 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Bey at least topped double-digits in the loss, a far better performance coming off a game in which he managed just six points. Unfortunately, in typical fashion, Bey basically did nothing outside of score the basketball, something that certainly cuts into his overall value. He remains a relatively solid hold in all competitive formats but managers should just be aware that he brings nothing to the table, other than points and threes.
Oct 23, 2022
Records double-double in loss
Bey ended Saturday's 124-115 loss to the Pacers with 20 points (5-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bey notched his first double-double of the season, recapturing some of the form that saw him vault into relevance to close the 2021-22 season. The Pistons clearly view him as a significant piece of their future, meaning his role should be guaranteed all season long. Efficiency from the floor will continue to be an issue but that should not be a surprise for anyone who took a shot at him.
Oct 21, 2022
Leading scorer in Friday's loss
Bey finished Friday's 130-106 loss to the Knicks with 26 points (9-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal over 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The third-year forward led all scorers on the night, but New York's superior depth won out. Bey bounced back from a quiet opener, and after a solid 2021-22 campaign he seems on track to take another modest step forward with his production this season.
Oct 13, 2022
Struggles from deep Thursday
Bey compiled 17 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, an assist and a steal in 26 minutes in Thursday's 126-111 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Bey missed five of his six shots before putting in layups on consecutive possessions in the second quarter. He was just 1-for-8 on shots beyond five feet. The 23-year-old has struggled shooting for much of the preseason, making 36.5 percent of his shots and 29.6 percent of his three-point tries. He's made 39.9 percent of his shot attempts in his two-year career and will look to improve his shooting efficiency when Detroit begins the regular season next Wednesday.
Oct 8, 2022
Drops 23 points
Bey finished with 23 points (6-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and seven rebounds in 31 minutes Friday against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Bey led the team in scoring and finished the exhibition tied for the squad lead in rebounds. While he wasn't exactly productive from the field, his presence from the beyond the arc was certainly reassuring as he readies himself for the 2022 campaign.
Apr 3, 2022
Ignites victory
Bey produced 31 points (11-18 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 121-117 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Bey exploded for 20 points and six threes in the first quarter. While his production tailed off from there, Bey was able to notch his seventh career 30-point game. Logging just 23 minutes, Bey showcased his ability to boom. Tough matchups await against Dallas, Milwaukee and Philadelphia to close the campaign.
Apr 2, 2022
Not on injury report
Bey (hip) isn't on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Bey played just six minutes in Friday's win over the Thunder while dealing with a hip injury, but he'll be able to play through the issue. He had averaged 34.5 minutes per game in his 18 appearances leading up to Friday's matchup, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him see increased work against Indiana.
Apr 1, 2022
Dealing with hip injury
Coach Dwane Casey said after Friday's win over the Thunder that Bey is dealing with a hip injury, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Bey was in the starting lineup Friday, he totaled just three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) in six minutes of playing time. Casey didn't sound too concerned about the injury after the matchup, but it's not yet clear whether Bey will be available Sunday against the Pacers.
Apr 1, 2022
Leads late comeback Thursday
Bey finished with 20 points (8-18 FG, 4-12 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 102-94 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Half of his points came in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter as Bey led the Pistons to a comeback victory. The second-year forward is having a strong finish to the season, averaging 18.9 points, 4.9 boards, 3.1 threes, 2.9 assists and 1.6 steals over the last 10 games.
Mar 29, 2022
Well-rounded performance Tuesday
Bey closed Tuesday's 130-123 loss to the Nets with 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bey was only marginally efficient, but he posted a well-rounded statline. He's cooled off significantly since his career-best 51-point effort against the Magic on March 17, shooting just 36.8 percent from the field in the five games coming into Tuesday. Still, he'll be one of the Pistons' main offensive options down the stretch.
Mar 22, 2022
Co-leads Detroit in scoring
Bey ended with 25 points (6-17 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Bey has averaged 32.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists over his last three games. Buoyed by his 51-point eruption against Orlando, Bey has still remained hot with multiple 20-point performances. A volume-based scorer, Bey is shooting 40.0 percent from the field and 35.1 percent from beyond the arc this season.
Mar 18, 2022
Career-best performance Thursday
Bey contributed 51 points (17-27 FG, 10-14 3Pt, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 134-120 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Bey was simply unstoppable Thursday, torching the Magic with a career-high 51 points, including 10 triples. After failing to score more than 13 points across his last five games, fantasy managers have to be thrilled with this performance, especially on a night featuring just one game. However, we do need to remember that both Jerami Grant and Cade Cunningham were on the sideline here. Despite some inconsistent scoring this season, Bey's role is set in stone, making him a pretty clear must-roster player.
Mar 5, 2022
Continues strong play
Bey logged 25 points (8-15 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one block over 36 minutes during Friday's 111-106 victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Bey was lights out from deep en route to his third 20-plus point performance over his last four games. During that stretch the second-year forward has averaged 23.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 42.4 percent from three.
Mar 3, 2022
Strong run continues Thursday
Bey notched 23 points (8-19 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block in 38 minutes during Thursday's 108-106 win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Bey eclipsed 20 points for the fifth time in his last eight games, continuing what has been a nice stretch of games. His defensive production leaves quite a bit to be desired managers will let that slide given his recent offensive consistency. The coaching staff are comfortable putting out there no matter the situation and barring any injuries, that should result in him finishing with his best overall season to date. Long story short, he should be rostered everywhere right now.
Feb 28, 2022
Turns in stellar game in OT win
Bey racked up 28 points (11-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 39 minutes during Sunday's 127-126 overtime win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Although Bey's fantasy production carries some variance, his upside is immense, especially when on a hot shooting streak. In February, he notched several excellent performances, averaging 17.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists over 12 games.
Feb 25, 2022
Bland in win
Bey produced three points (1-7 FG, 1-7 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Thursday's 106-103 victory over the Cavaliers. He also had three turnovers.
ANALYSIS
Bey only attempted threes and was disjointed from the offense en route to a forgettable night. Additionally, Bey failed to salvage the outing with meaningful peripheral stats. He'll look to rebound Saturday against the Celtics.
Feb 19, 2022
Stars for Team Isiah
Bey notched 21 points (9-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block across both legs of the Rising Stars competition at All-Star Weekend.
ANALYSIS
Bey was lights out in the first leg of the new format, notching 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt) on efficient shooting. However, the second-year forward out of Villanova struggled in the championship game, as Team Barry's defense silenced Team Isiah's offense -- with Precious Achiuwa's outburst the lone exception.
Feb 17, 2022
Double-doubles in win
Bey finished Wednesday's 112-111 win over the Celtics with 20 points (7-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bey scored 20-plus points for a third straight game and notched his first double-double since Feb. 3. Over his last eight contests, the second-year forward has averaged 19.4 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 34.5. minutes per game. He'll look to continue his strong play when the Pistons return to action following the All-Star break.
Feb 15, 2022
BeyWatch falls short
Bey posted 24 points (7-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes during Monday's 103-94 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Bey had 21 points entering the fourth quarter, but was quieted late. Bey led Detroit in scoring and assists on a night where no other Piston scored 15 points. He's averaging 17.9 points per game over his last eight contests, despite shooting just 37.0 percent from the field.
Feb 7, 2022
Third straight 20-point game
Bey put up 24 points (7-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and added eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes Sunday in the Pistons' 118-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Jerami Grant's recent return from an extended absence due to thumb surgery hasn't been as detrimental to Bey's fantasy outlook as expected, at least through Grant's first four games since rejoining the lineup. During that stretch, Bey has cleared 20 points on three occasions while also averaging 6.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 3.5 three-pointers. It's worth noting, however, that Cade Cunningham (hIp) has missed the last three of those contests, so Bey should eventually see his overall usage on offense take a hit once the star rookie is back in the lineup.

Connects on four triples in loss
Bey closed Friday's 102-93 loss to the Celtics with 21 points (6-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bey made at least four threes for the eighth time this season and scored 21 points for a second consecutive contest. Over his past 10 games, the second-year forward has averaged 18.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.7 minutes. He'll look to continue his steady play during the Pistons' upcoming two-game road trip.
Feb 4, 2022
Teases triple-double in loss
Bey scored 21 points (8-21 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT) while adding 13 rebounds, eight assists and a steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 128-117 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
The second-year forward posted his first double-double since Jan. 1, and nearly put together his first career triple-double. Bey's production has taken a step forward this season despite his shooting struggles, and so far the return of Jerami Grant to the lineup hasn't cut into his numbers.
Jan 31, 2022
Scores game-high 31 points
Bey chipped in 31 points (11-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Bey scored 30-plus points for the fourth time this season and for the second time in his last six games. During that stretch, the second-year forward has averaged 20.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 33.0 minutes. While Bey's production has been increased as of late, fantasy managers should be cautious moving forward, as the returns of Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk from COVID-19 protocols could diminish Bey's fantasy potential moving forward.
Jan 26, 2022
Scores 21 points in loss
Bey closed with 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 110-105 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Bey has scored in double figures in nine of his last 10 appearances, including three games of at least 20 points. During that stretch, he has averaged 16.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 33.2 minutes. The second-year pro continues to quietly be one of the more consistent producers for the Pistons this season.
Jan 20, 2022
Leads Pistons to road win
Bey logged 30 points (10-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 133-131 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Bey scored 17 first-half points and finished the contest as Detroit's leading scorer. He reached the 30-point mark for the third time this season and knocked down five-plus triples for the fourth time. In his second NBA campaign, Bey has improved in most counting stats, including points (15.2), rebounds (6.0) and assists (2.4) per game. However, his field-goal rate (38.2 percent) and three-point efficiency (33.4 percent) are both below his rookie marks.
Jan 19, 2022
Poor outing in loss
Bey contributed 10 points (3-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 102-86 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
It was an atypical night for Bey, who failed to get anything going and only made three shots in 13 attempts in the loss. His regression began over the weekend against the suns and bled into this contest, and although his minutes have remained steady, Bey's usually prolific totals have pulled a disappearing act over the last month
Jan 12, 2022
Struggles with efficiency in loss
Bey amassed 14 points (5-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 133-87 loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Bey needed 15 shots to deliver a meager 14-point output, but to be fair, the entire team struggled in what was a lopsided 46-point loss against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. At least Bey continues to be consistent and is still the go-to player on offense for the Pistons with Jerami Grant (finger) sidelined. He has scored in double digits in all but one of his last 13 games, clearing the 15-point plateau nine times in that span.
Jan 10, 2022
Erupts in win
Bey posted 29 points (10-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 37 minutes during Monday's 126-116 victory over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Bay was instrumental in Detroit's victory Monday, co-leading the Pistons in scoring to form a dynamic duo with Cade Cunningham. Bey will look to stay hot closing a back-to-back versus the Bulls on Tuesday. Bey has averaged 13.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in five career games against Chicago.
Jan 9, 2022
Bounces back
Bey ended Saturday's 97-92 win over the Magic with 16 points (7-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bey bounced back from a three-point outing Thursday to notch his 10th double-digit performance in his last 11 games. The second-year pro is shooting just 31.6 percent from the field over the last three games, but he's expected to continue seeing increased usage as long as Jerami Grant (thumb) remains sidelined.
Jan 7, 2022
Atrocious in loss
Bey closed Thursday's 118-88 loss to the Grizzlies with three points (1-9 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Bey logged a minus-37 in the box score. Among qualifiers who have played over 1,000 minutes this season, Bey has been one of the worst players in the league. His negative net differential and -0.4 WAR both rank in the bottom-five. Bey is just 22 years old and isn't in an ideal environment for evolving his game, but moving forward these metrics should be considered when shareholders set exceptions.
Jan 4, 2022
Carries Detroit once again
Bey produced 34 points (12-22 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 115-106 victory over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Bey has fully settled as Detroit's main scoring option with Jerami Grant (finger) sidelined and was magnificent once again, delivering a season-high mark in points and surpassing the 20-point mark for the fifth game in a row -- and for the seventh time over his last eight appearances. The second-year forward is averaging 15.3 points per game this season, though he hasn't been very efficient and is only shooting 37.7 percent from the field. He needs the touches and the volume to make an impact as a scorer.
Jan 2, 2022
Pulls down career-high 17 boards
Bey provided 21 points (7-23 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 47 minutes during Saturday's 117-116 overtime win over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Bey was one of several players who saw huge minutes for the shorthanded Pistons, and he's now gone over 40 minutes in four straight contests. During that stretch, the Villanova product is up to 24.8 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steal and 3.3 made threes per game, though he's shooting just 39.4 percent from the field (33.3% 3Pt). Detroit may get some reinforcements ahead of Monday's game at Milwaukee, but even before the team's COVID outbreak, Bey was routinely seeing 30-to-35 minutes on many nights.
Dec 30, 2021
Settling into a rhythm
Bey notched 32 points (9-19 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 94-85 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Bey has now scored at least 20 points in six of his prior seven contests. Over that span, the 22-year-old is averaging 24.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals. Bey has seen a noticeable dip in his three-point shooting, but will look to stay hot Saturday against the Spurs.
Dec 23, 2021
Improved play continues Thursday
Bey logged 23 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Thursday's 115-112 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Bey managed a double-double in the loss, continuing what has been a nice turnaround in form over the past week. Having seen his production fall way off, he has been able to rediscover his efficiency, as well as his peripheral production. He should see minutes-a-plenty over the next few games, making him someone to add in just about every format.
Dec 22, 2021
Regresses in loss
Bey supplied 15 points (5-19 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 105-91 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Bey entered Tuesday's contest averaging 25.7 on nearly 60 percent shooting over a scorching three-game stretch. While he came down to Earth in terms of efficiency, Bey is locked into a high-volume role in the offense. His three-point shooting is a key statistic to monitor, as Bey is connecting on just 30.6 of his 6.4 attempts per game. His next opportunity will come Thursday against the Heat.
Dec 20, 2021
Goes off for 26 points in win
Bey racked up 26 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 100-90 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Bet continued to thrive amid Jerami Grant's (absence), turning in another spectacular stat line over the weekend. With Grant out until February at the earliest, Bey warrants an immediate addition in seasonal leagues if he is still available on the waiver wire.
Dec 18, 2021
Another strong performance
Bey posted 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block with zero turnovers across 37 minutes during Saturday's 116-107 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Bey is having a disappointing year overall but has turned it on over the past two games with Jerami Grant sidelined. Given that he's seen 36 and 37 minutes, respectively, over the past two games with quality numbers makes him a strong consideration off the waiver wire.
Dec 17, 2021
Booms in loss
Bey had 28 points (9-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 122-113 loss to Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Bey's season-best scoring effort wasn't enough to snap the Pistons' 12 game losing streak. Thursday marked Bey's first time surpassing 15 points in over a month. Prior to this, he had been averaging 9.2 points and 4.0 rebounds per game through five December contests. The 22-year-old will look to assemble another quality performance against the Rockets on Saturday.
Dec 7, 2021
Solid in loss
Bey produced 15 points (5-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Monday's 114-103 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Bey has struggled to retain his efficiency from his rookie season to year two. His overall efficiency has dropped from 40.4 percent to 34.9 percent -- exacerbated by an ugly 29.2 clip from three on 6.3 attempts per game. The Villanova product might be amid the classic sophomore slump. Bey's usage is up and he's attempted a healthy 13.1 field goals per game, they just aren't falling. His 15 points on Monday marked his best effort in six previous contests, and his next opportunity to build on it will be Wednesday versus Washington.
Nov 25, 2021
13 points with seven boards
Bey ended with 13 points (4-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 114-93 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Bey was one of two starters that scored in double digits for the Pistons, and while his shooting figures were not very good in terms of efficiency, he still provided a decent stat line. The second-year forward has scored in double digits in six of his last seven appearances and is averaging 13.7 points per contest.
Nov 15, 2021
Leads team with 28 points
Bey chipped in 28 points (9-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Monday's loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Bey posted a new season high offensively while leading the Pistons. It was his third time in his career scoring at least 28 points, as he dropped a career-high 30 points against Boston on Feb. 12 and added 28 points versus the Raptors on March 17 last season. After getting off to a great start averaging 17.2 points and 9.0 rebounds, Bey is averaging 12.4 points and 5.9 rebounds over his past seven games played.
Nov 10, 2021
Tallies 16 points, nine boards
Bey had 16 points (6-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 win at Houston.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old recorded a 20-point, 16-rebound double-double during the second game of the season, and he fell one rebound short of another double-double Wednesday. Bey hasn't been particularly efficient this season and is shooting under 40 percent from the field, but he's providing decent rebound and assist numbers as a tertiary option in the offense behind Jerami Grant and Cade Cunningham.
Nov 3, 2021
Suffers ugly shooting night
Bey had four points (2-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in a 117-89 loss to the Bucks on Tuesday night.
ANALYSIS
Bey played a team-high 31 minutes, but logged a team-worst plus-minus (minus-25) in said time. Tuesday marked a blemish on what has been a solid start to the season for Bey. He's mired in 10-for-38 slump, but the volume has remained. He will look to break out Thursday against Philadelphia.
Nov 2, 2021
Ready to play Tuesday
Bey (ankle) will play Tuesday against the Bucks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey was considered probable due to a sprained left ankle, so it's hardly surprising he's suiting up Tuesday. The 22-year-old has started the first six games of the season and has averaged 15.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 32.7 minutes.
Nov 1, 2021
Probable Tuesday
Bey is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Bey apparently sustained an ankle injury in Sunday's loss to the Nets, but it appears likely that he'll be able to play Tuesday. Across his first six appearances of the season, he's averaged 15.8 points and 8.0 rebounds in 32.7 minutes per game.
Oct 28, 2021
Paces team with 19 points
Bey had 19 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-4 FT) and chipped six rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes of action during Thursday's 110-102 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Bey narrowly missed reaching the 20-point mark for a third straight game but still led the Pistons in the scoring department with another solid showing. The 22-year-old helped lead a mini-comeback in the fourth quarter but ultimately it wasn't enough to get his team in the win column for the first time this season. Bey stands as a solid source of points and rebounds and has recently picked it up from deep with seven triples over his last two games. He'll be back in action Saturday night at home against Orlando.
Oct 25, 2021
Continues strong ways Monday
Bey recorded 21 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals during Monday's 122-104 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
The forward tied a team high with another superb showing offensively, as Bey has now posted at least 20 points and as well as seven rebounds in each of the past two matchups. Bey also logged 33 minutes for a third straight time (he averaged 27.3 minutes last year). The former Villanova Wildcat is off to a superb start tallying 18.0 points and 10.7 rebounds per contest, both of which would shatter his rookie season averages.
Oct 24, 2021
Strong double-double despite loss
Bey mustered 20 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 16 rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 34 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The Pistons struggled massively on offense and only shot 38.6 percent from the field en route to scoring 82 total points, but Bey was a standout performer -- he was the only starter who scored in double digits and also paced the team in rebounds. Through two games, Bey has already racked up 33 total points, 25 rebounds and five assists.
Oct 20, 2021
13 points in opener
Bey scored 13 points (6-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and added nine rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes of Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The second-year forward shot poorly from deep but managed to make an impact on the glass and with his playmaking. He was however the clear second choice offensively behind Jerami Grant, which is a good sign. In his rookie season, Bey averaged 12.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists and he will be looking to make a leap and increase his production this year.
Oct 18, 2021
Registers full practice Monday
Coach Dwane Casey said Bey (ankle) was a full participant in practice Monday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey has been sidelined since picking up an ankle injury during the Pistons' second preseason contest. His return to practice is a positive sign for his availability during Detroit's regular season opener against the Bulls on Wednesday.
Oct 17, 2021
Questionable for opener
Bey (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's season opener against the Bulls, according to Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site.
ANALYSIS
Bey participated in practice, but he wasn't a full participant so his status for the season opener remains a bit up in the air. He should be a game-time decision for the contest.
Oct 15, 2021
Out Friday
Bey (ankle) is out for Friday's preseason finale against the 76ers, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey is "much better," so it sounds like he should be good to go for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bulls.
Oct 14, 2021
Unlikely to play Friday
Bey (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's preseason game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Bey missed Wednesday's exhibition game due to his ankle injury, and it appears as though he'll be held out once again Friday. Whether he's available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Chicago remains to be seen.
Oct 13, 2021
Out Wednesday
Bey (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Bey rolled his ankle in Monday night's exhibition contest and will be sidelined for at least one game. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, but the Pistons may elect to shut down for the remainder of the preseason.
Oct 12, 2021
Questionable Wednesday
Bey (ankle) is listed questionable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Bey departed Monday night's game after rolling his left ankle, and while he looks to have avoided anything serious, the Pistons could hold him out for a game or two as a precaution.
Oct 11, 2021
Won't return Monday
Bey won't return to Monday's preseason game against Memphis due to a left ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Bey's injury is unclear, but it's likely just a precautionary action taken by the Pistons during a meaningless preseason matchup. Thus, Bey will likely be tabbed questionable heading into the team's next preseason contest against New York.
Oct 5, 2021
Detroit picks up team option
The Pistons picked up the team option on Bey's contract Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
This move is merely a formality by the Pistons, as Bey is expected to a be a major contributor for Detroit this season. The 22-year-old averaged 12.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 27.3 minutes per game during his rookie season.
May 17, 2021
Scores 22 in season finale
Bey registered 22 points (7-21 FG, 4-15 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 37 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Bey was largely inefficient in the season finale, as he needed 21 shots to get 22 points and missed 11 of his attempts from beyond the arc, but he still paced the Pistons in scoring in what was a meaningless game for a Detroit franchise that's already thinking about next season. Bey became a regular starter in mid-February and ended as one of the Pistons' potential building blocks going forward, as he averaged 14 points per game since moving to the starting lineup on a permanent basis.
May 11, 2021
Hits five threes
Bey posted 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 119-100 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Bey continues to show off his excellent marksmanship. He's hit five triples in back-to-back games, and he's reached that mark four times this month. On the season, the rookie has drained at least five triples 13 times.
May 9, 2021
Turns in 14 points
Bey produced 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and a blocked shot across 24 minutes in Saturday's 118-104 loss to the Sixers.
ANALYSIS
Detroit's 2020 first-round pick won't win Rookie of the Year honors, but he's certainly in the running after providing much-needed production for the team this season. After a brief adjustment to the pro level, Bey joined the starting lineup and has held on to a first-unit role since mid-February.
May 7, 2021
Efficient performance Thursday
Bey had 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and an assist across 39 minutes in Thursday's win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Bey was coming off a woeful performance, scoring seven points on 2-12 FG against the Hornets on Tuesday, but he bounced back admirably here and delivered an efficient outing. Bey has scored in double digits in five of his last six contests and has emerged as one of the most promising young players on the Pistons roster. He's averaging 13.5 points per game since becoming a full-time starter in mid-February.
May 4, 2021
Struggles with shot
Bey scored seven points (2-12 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT) to go along with nine rebounds and three assists across 39 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Bey had a horrible shooting night, particularly from beyond the arc. However, he did continue to rebound the ball well, and he has now averaged 8.5 boards across his last six contests. Bey has gotten consistent minutes for most of the season, though if Detroit continues to rest its regulars he could see increased usage as well to close the campaign.
May 3, 2021
Just misses double-double
Bey dropped 26 points (10-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two steals and an assist across 30 minutes Monday in the 119-112 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Bey has posted consecutive 20-point games for just the second time this season though he's seen his scoring increase in three straight outings. In those three contests, Bey is averaging 22.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.7 steals per game while connecting on 46.7 percent of his triples.
May 1, 2021
Strong line in loss to Hornets
Bey had 22 points (7-21 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in Saturday's loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Detroit trailed by 16 points at the half and struggled to battle back, but Bey was one of the few bright spots, joining Frank Jackson (25 points) as the only Pistons players to score more than 12 points. The rookie out of Villanova hasn't received much fanfare, but he continues to be one of the league's most dependable and productive first-year players. Overall efficiency remains an issue, but Bey is shooting 37.9 percent from three on the season (6.3 3PA/G).
Apr 30, 2021
Drains four triples
Bey totaled 18 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes in a loss to the Mavericks on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Bey came into the game having made only 10 of his past 35 field-goal attempts (28.6 percent), but he found a groove against Dallas and successfully converted half of his tries. The rookie forward is averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game on the season and is shooting a respectable 37.9 percent from beyond the arc.
Apr 19, 2021
Pours in six threes
Bey scored 20 points (6-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT) to go along with five rebounds, two steals and one assist across 36 minutes in Monday's win over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Bey was 0-for-6 from two-point range but nailed six threes to salvage a good scoring night. He also continued to prove to be strong defensive contributor, tallying at least one steal for the seventh consecutive game. Bey has seen an increased role in that same span -- he's averaged 31.3 minutes -- and taken advantage by averaging 15.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 3.0 threes per contest.
Apr 15, 2021
Drains four treys Wednesday
Bey mustered 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, a steal and a block across 35 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Bey moved into the lineup Feb. 14 and hasn't left the starting five since then -- the rookie has emerged as a reliable second-best scoring alternative behind Jerami Grant. In fact, Bey has scored in double digits in six games in a row while draining multiple threes in each of his last five contests.
Apr 12, 2021
Drops 23 points Sunday
Bey tallied 25 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four steals, two assists and one rebound in 31 minutes during Sunday's 131-124 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Bey has been playing well of late and that trend continued in the loss. He has now scored in double-digits in five consecutive games, averaging 3.2 triples per game over that stretch. His field goal percentage is wildly inconsistent, something that we have come to expect from rookies. If you can look beyond his fantasy flaws, Bey makes for a solid addition across most competitive formats.
Apr 11, 2021
Posts 14 points Saturday
Bey totaled 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes Saturday in a loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Bey has gone just 4-of-15 from deep over his past two games, but he seems to have the green light and has shown some promise as a three-point shooter in his rookie campaign. On the season, he is posting per-game averages of 10.9 points, 4.0 boards and 2.3 treys.
Apr 9, 2021
Goes for 12 points in win
Bey supplied 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT, six rebounds and two steals across 35 minutes in Thursday's 113-101 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The rookie is now an everyday fixture in the starting five, and the Villanova product continues to spur the youth movement on the team. Detroit's future potential was highlighted with fellow rookie Isaiah Stewart's insertion into the starting lineup in Thursday's victory. Bey's production has fluctuated, but he's averaged 15.7 points over the past three games, which included an excellent 25-point performance against Denver.
Apr 7, 2021
Makes six threes in loss
Bey scored 25 points (9-15 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and added one assist in a 134-119 loss to the Nuggets on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Bey was able to score 20-plus points for the fifth time this season due to some efficient shooting. The forward was struggling with his shot in the four games prior to Tuesday's contest, shooting just 24.2 percent from the field and 14.2 percent from three. Bey is averaging 10.4 points and 2.2 rebounds over his last five games and doesn't offer much fantasy value in standard, redraft leagues.
Apr 1, 2021
Fails to score in 25 minutes
Bey recorded zero points (0-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 124-101 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday marked the first time Bey has failed to score since he saw nine minutes during a Jan. 25 game against the 76ers. Bey also committed three turnovers during Wednesday's game, adding to his struggles. He's reliant on three-point success for scoring opportunities, so when he's cold from deep, his point totals will be low. He's averaged 8.5 shots per game this season, and 5.9 of them are threes.
Mar 30, 2021
Scores 19 points in win
Bey provided 19 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and three rebounds across 33 minutes in Monday's 118-104 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Bey continued his red-hot sharpshooting in the win with five three-pointers. Over the past four games, the Villanova product has drained 14 threes with a 46.7 percent conversion rate. He joined a combination of rookies to spur on this victory, a sign that the youth-focused rebuild in Detroit is in full swing
Mar 26, 2021
Hits four triples
Bey posted 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 32 minutes during Friday's loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old has now hit at least one three-pointer in 24 games in a row. Bey is averaging 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.8 three-pointers during that stretch. The Villanova product should continue to start and hover around 30 minutes a game the rest of the way for the last-place Pistons.
Mar 24, 2021
Bounces back against Pacers
Bey scored 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt) to go along with three rebounds, three assists and one block across 31 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Bey bounced back after scoring only three points Sunday against the Bulls to return to double-digit production. He was particularly effective from beyond the arc, hitting multiple threes for the 14th time in his last 18 games. Bey's line was relatively empty otherwise, though he did notch only his fourth block of the campaign.
Mar 19, 2021
Scores well again
Bey scored 20 points (6-15 FG, 2-9 3pt, 6-6 FT) to go along with six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 32 minutes in Friday's win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Bey shot well from inside the arc and free-throw line to cover up his struggles from three-point range. He was able to reach at least 20 points for the second consecutive game as a result, the first time he's done so all season. Moving forward, Bey should continue to get minutes as the Pistons look to develop their young players, though the return of Hamidou Diallo (groin) and Wayne Ellington (groin) could put a dent in his usage.
Mar 17, 2021
Huge double-double in victory
Bey amassed 28 points (8-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 116-112 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Bey turned in easily his best game in over a month, helping the Pistons to a much-needed victory. The rookie has been a nice surprise this season after being thrust into a sizeable role with the departure of Blake Griffin. While we shouldn't expect this kind of production on a nightly basis, the minutes alone make him worthy of a backend 12-team roster spot.
Mar 5, 2021
Adequate prodution continues in loss
Bey totaled 14 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 114-104 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Bey has established himself as a starter for the Pistons and although his production has tapered off somewhat, the minutes are generally there no matter what. He is not a player with a tremendous amount of upside but those in standard leagues could certainly do worse.
Feb 27, 2021
Scores 17 points in loss
Bey had 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and a steal across 32 minutes in Friday's loss against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Bey was one of three Detroit players that surpassed the 15-point mark, and the rookie has benefited from the absence of Blake Griffin (not injury related) to gain a bigger role. Since moving to the starting lineup on a regular basis back on Feb. 14, he is averaging 13.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals while logging 32.6 minutes per contest.
Feb 26, 2021
Available Friday
Bey (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Kings, Johnny Kane of Fox Sports Detroit reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey was dealing with a left ankle sprain ahead of Friday's matchup, but he'll be able to suit up against Sacramento. He started each of the last six games for the Pistons, although it's not yet clear whether he'll remain in the starting lineup while playing through his injury.
Feb 25, 2021
Questionable against Kings
Bey (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Bey has started each of the last six games for the Pistons, but he's dealing with a left ankle sprain that puts his availability for Friday's matchup into question. If he's unable to suit up, Josh Jackson and Jerami Grant should see increased run for Detroit.
Feb 21, 2021
Two rebounds shy of double-double
Bey notched 11 points (3-10 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, an assist and a steal across 30 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Bey made most of his damage from behind the arc, but he struggled with his shot in this one. The rookie extended his streak of games with 10 or more points to seven contests, however, and he's averaging 13.0 points while logging 33.0 minutes per game since moving to the starting lineup four games ago.
Feb 20, 2021
Drains four threes in loss
Bey had 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in Friday's loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Bey scored in double-figures for the seventh straight game, and he drilled at least four threes for the third time in his last four appearances. The rookie out of Villanova should continue to start and play a significant role going forward after the Pistons opted to shut down Blake Griffin indefinitely earlier in the week.
Feb 18, 2021
Serviceable production in loss
Bey finished with 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 105-102 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Bey has been thrust into a sizeable role with the Pistons opting to exclude Blake Griffin from their active lineup. It appears as though he is going to be running with the starting unit for the foreseeable future and given what we have seen thus far, he is worth a look in standard formats. It is unlikely to be smooth sailing when it comes to production but the opportunity is going to be there, making him an intriguing pickup.
Feb 17, 2021
Confirmed as primary starter
Coach Dwane Casey intimated Wednesday that Bey will be in the starting lineup going forward, James Edwards of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This isn't exactly breaking news, considering Bey started Sunday's win over New Orleans and has made several spot-starts this season, but it's still encouraging to hear it from the mouth of the head coach. With Blake Griffin now out of the rotation permanently, Bey will be the Pistons' regular small forward, while Jerami Grant will slide up to power forward. The rookie out of Villanova is averaging 17.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 4.0 made threes over his last four games. In his last two games alone, Bey has totaled 46 points, 16 rebounds, six assists, three steals and 11 made three-pointers on 15 attempts, aided by a 7-of-7 performance against Boston on Friday.
Feb 15, 2021
Tuesday's contest postponed
Bey and the Pistons will not play Tuesday against the Spurs after the game was postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The game will not be played due to COVID-19 contact tracing, but the hope is that Detroit will be able to resume play Wednesday night in Dallas.
Feb 14, 2021
Stuffs stat sheet Sunday
Bey delivered 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), six assists, four rebounds and three steals across 38 minutes in Sunday's win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
With Blake Griffin (rest) and Sekou Doumbouya (concussion) both out, Bey started at small forward and thrived -- he finished as one of five players that surpassed the 15-point mark while also posting season-high marks in both steals and assists. Bey will probably return to the bench once Griffin is ready to return, but he is beginning to deserve a bigger role due to his recent performances.
Feb 14, 2021
Starting Sunday
Bey will start Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
With Blake Griffin (rest) and Sekou Doumbouya (concussion) both out, the Pistons will go with Jerami Grant at power forward, while Bey enters the lineup at the other forward spot. Bey is coming off of a career game in Friday's win over Boston, when he finished with 30 points (10-12 FG, 7-7 3PT) and 12 rebounds in just 27 minutes.
Feb 13, 2021
Scores career-best 30 points
Bey exploded for 30 points (10-12 FG, 7-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and 12 rebounds across 27 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Bey has scored in double digits in four of his last five games, but he came out of nowhere to post a season-high 30 points while also grabbing a season-best 12 rebounds. Bey has shown glimpses of being a potential starter in the not-so-distant future, but he is expected to remain on a bench role while Blake Griffin remains with the team. Bey has been playing well of late, however, and he is averaging 15.2 points per game over his last five appearances.
Feb 9, 2021
Perfect night shooting
Bey played in 21 minutes off the bench and added 15 points (6-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in the Pistons' 122-111 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Bey started the two previous games with Wayne Ellington (calf) and had a tough time shooting the ball, making just 30 percent of his shots prior to Tuesday's performance. Despite moving back to the bench, he did manage to play in more minutes than Ellington. He's now played in at least 20 minutes in three straight games and has registered double-digit points in two of those three games.
Feb 9, 2021
Moves back to bench
Bey will come off the bench Tuesday against the Nets, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old started the past two games but will return to the bench with Wayne Ellington (calf) back in the lineup Tuesday. Bey played 26 minutes in both those contests but figures to have a lesser workload with Ellington returning to action.
Feb 6, 2021
Scores 14 against Suns
Bey scored 14 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3PT, 2-3 FT) to go along with four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 26 minutes in Friday's loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Bey played his most minutes since Jan. 10 in the absence of Wayne Ellington (calf). He showed no hesitation getting his shot up and posted a 24.2 percent usage rate. Though his shot didn't fall consistently, he found other ways to contribute in the box score -- particularly on the defensive side of the floor. If Ellington remains out Saturday against the Lakers, Bey could see increased run once again.
Feb 5, 2021
Starting Friday
Bey is starting Friday's game against the Suns, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bey came off the bench in each of the past two games, but he'll return to the starting lineup Friday with Wayne Ellington (calf) unavailable. Over his last five games, Bey is averaging 4.8 points and 2.6 rebounds over 14.6 minutes per contest.
Jan 27, 2021
Rejoins starting lineup
Bey will start Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old will receive his fifth start of the season with Blake Griffin (rest) once again sitting out the front half of a back-to-back set. Bey is averaging 11.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in 27.5 minutes across his four previous starts this season.
Jan 25, 2021
Shifts back to bench
Bey will come off the bench Monday against the Sixers, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie first-round pick started Saturday and had 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and a steal over 19 minutes, but Blake Griffin (injury management) will return to the starting lineup Monday. Bey is averaging 8.1 points and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 38.9 percent from deep and should fill his usual role off the bench for Detroit.
Jan 23, 2021
Decent output as starter
Bey registered 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and a steal across 19 minutes in Saturday's loss against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Bey got the start due to Blake Griffin (knee) being absent, and he responded well -- he was one of four starters that scored in double digits and delivered a decent stat line considering he only logged 19 minutes out there. Bey might head back to the bench if Griffin is ready to return Monday against Philadelphia, and that would decrease his upside considerably.
Jan 23, 2021
Starting Saturday
Bey will start Saturday's game against the 76ers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
With Blake Griffin (knee) out, Bey will join the starting five. In his past three starts, Bey has averaged 12.0 points and 5.7 rebounds in 30.3 minutes.
Jan 11, 2021
Plays 27 minutes in Sunday's loss
Bey contributed 12 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Sunday's 96-86 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Bey continues to play well for the Pistons and has been one of the more impressive rookies thus far this season. Despite serviceable production at best in this game, the fact he played 27 minutes even with Blake Griffin on the court bodes well for his future. He is not a player to be targeting in 12-team formats just yet but should the Pistons eventually fall out of the playoff race, he could find himself thrust into a more prominent role.
Jan 6, 2021
Best game of season thus far
Bey registered 20 points (6-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and a steal across 24 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 130-115 loss against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Bey has been in and out of the starting lineup this season and, while he began the game on the bench with Blake Griffin returning to the starting five, he vastly outplayed the veteran and finished as Detroit's second-highest scorer. Bey's upside will be hard-capped as long as he keeps coming off the bench, but he has shown glimpses of what he can do with enough playing time and could be a player worth watching across most formats, while he could have an uptick in terms of value on dynasty leagues due to his long-term potential.
Jan 6, 2021
Returns to bench
Bey is not starting Wednesday's game against the Bucks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old received a spot start Monday and tallied nine points (3-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in 31 minutes. Bey will return to a bench role with Blake Griffin (rest) returning to action Wednesday.
Jan 4, 2021
Back in starting five
Bey is starting Monday's game against Milwaukee, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After heading to the bench for one game, Bey returns to the starting lineup. He'll start for the injured Josh Jackson (ankle).
Jan 3, 2021
Returns to bench
Bey will come off the bench Sunday against the Celtics, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old started Friday and put up 17 points (5-11 FG, 5-8 3PT, 2-4 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 30 minutes, but Blake Griffin (concussion) is back in the lineup Sunday. Bey should have a reduced role off the bench with Detroit back at full strength.
Jan 1, 2021
Takes advantage of opportunity
Bey scored 17 points (5-11 FG, 5-8 3PT, 2-4 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, one assist and two steals across 30 minutes in Friday's win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Bey was in the starting five with Blake Griffin (concussion) forced to the sideline. All of his converted field goals came from behind the arc, primarily from the left wing and corner. Bey's minutes and opportunity have fluctuated quite a bit early on, though he's managed to produce solid points and boards in his pair of his starts this season.
Jan 1, 2021
Starting Friday
Bey is starting Friday's game against the Celtics, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
With Blake Griffin (concussion) out, Bey will get the second start of his career. In his previous start, he posted 10 points, seven rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes against the Hawks.
Dec 29, 2020
Shifts back to bench
Bey will come off the bench Tuesday against the Warriors, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old received the start Monday and had 10 points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes, but he'll head back to the bench with Blake Griffin (rest) rejoining the starting five. Bey didn't play in the season opener and saw only six minutes Saturday, so he's unlikely to get close to Monday's workload.
Dec 29, 2020
Logs 30 minutes in first start
Bey had 10 points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist during a 128-120 loss at Atlanta on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Bey started over Blake Griffin, who was resting for maintenance purposes. He struggled to make shots during the second half, missing all five of his field-goal attempts. Presuming Griffin returns against the Warriors on Tuesday, that means Bey will likely move back to the bench.
Dec 28, 2020
Starting Monday
Bey is in the starting lineup for Monday's contest against Atlanta, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie will make his first career start in just his second game. The forward logged two rebounds and missed both of his field-goal attempts in six minutes of action in his debut Saturday against Cleveland. Bey is replacing Blake Griffin, who is out due to maintenance purposes, in the starting five.
