Kentavious Caldwell-Pope News, Rumors, Updates - Orlando Magic

Ruled out Wednesday Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Kings, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Caldwell-Pope was deemed doubtful by Nuggets head coach Michael Malone and will, as expected, miss Wednesday's contest. With the Nuggets also down Jamal Murray (tibias), expect Christian Braun, Reggie Jackson, Justin Holiday and Collin Gillespie to handle the brunt of the backcourt work. Caldwell-Pope will have a full week to rest before the Nuggets play Washington on Feb. 22.

Doubtful for Wednesday Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Bucks, Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Caldwell-Pope attempted to return from a two-game absence Monday against the Bucks, but he left the game early and was unable to return. With the All-Star break coming up after Wednesday, it makes sense for the Nuggets to exercise caution. With Jamal Murray (tibias) also doubtful, there will be more opportunities for Reggie Jackson, Christian Braun and Peyton Watson.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to doubtful Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is doubtful to return for the second half of Monday's game against Milwaukee.

Impact Caldwell-Pope was initially deemed questionable to return after exiting with right hamstring tightness, and it now seems as though Denver is content to hold him out the rest of the way. Assuming he sits out of the second half Monday night, his next opportunity to return will arrive Wednesday against Sacramento.

Questionable to return Caldwell-Pope is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Bucks due to right hamstring tightness, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Caldwell-Pope carried a questionable designation leading up to Monday's tipoff due to a right hamstring issue, so it appears he may have aggravated the injury. Christian Braun and Justin Holiday would be in line for more minutes if Caldwell-Pope is unable to return.

Active Monday Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against Milwaukee.

Impact Caldwell-Pope returns from a two-game absence due to right hamstring tightness. He is joined by Michael Porter (knee) suiting up Monday, bringing Denver's rotation to full health.

Questionable for Monday Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is questionable to play Monday against Milwaukee.

Impact Caldwell-Pope is at risk of missing his third consecutive game due to right hamstring tightness. Denver hasn't played since Friday's loss to Sacramento, but Caldwell-Pope's status still appears murky.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Friday Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) will not play in Friday's game against the Kings.

Impact Caldwell-Pope will sit out for a second straight game, but he remains day-to-day. Michael Porter (knee) is also out for Denver, meaning Peyton Watson, Justin Holiday and Chrisian Braun could be asked to step up for Denver.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.

Impact Caldwell-Pope sustained a right hamstring injury during Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers and was unavailable for Thursday's game against the Lakers. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set, but Justin Holiday and Christian Braun are candidates to see increased run if Caldwell-Pope remains out Friday.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Thursday Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) will not play in Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Caldwell-Pope left Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers early and will now miss at least one game. His next chance to play will be Friday against the Kings. In his absence, the Nuggets could turn to Christian Braun, Peyton Watson and Justin Holiday.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Caldwell-Pope exited Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers due to a right hamstring injury and said after the game that he expects to be fine to play Thursday. However, he'll still carry a questionable designation ahead of the matchup against the Lakers. If he's forced to sit out, Christian Braun and Justin Holiday would be candidates to handle additional minutes.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Expects to be fine Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) said after Sunday's win over Portland that he thinks he's fine, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Caldwell-Pope went to the locker room late in Sunday's victory, but he doesn't think his hamstring injury is anything more than a cramp. Since the Nuggets have several days off before facing the Lakers on Thursday, it wouldn't be surprising to see Caldwell-Pope appear in that matchup.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Severity of injury unclear Coach Michael Malone said after Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers that he doesn't yet know the severity of Caldwell-Pope's hamstring injury, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette...

Impact Caldwell-Pope unsurprisingly didn't return to Sunday's matchup after heading to the locker room in the closing minutes, and it's also not very surprising that Malone didn't have a postgame update given how late the guard exited the contest. However, the Nuggets have several days off before facing the Lakers on Thursday. If Caldwell-Pope is forced to miss additional time, Christian Braun and Justin Holiday could see increased roles for the Nuggets.

Heads to locker room Caldwell-Pope went to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to an apparent right hamstring injury, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports re...

Impact Caldwell-Pope exited Sunday's game with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and was holding his right hamstring as he headed to the locker room. Prior to his departure, he logged 11 points (3-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and a steal in 31 minutes. Given his late departure, it seems unlikely that he'll return, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Thursday against the Lakers.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Officially cleared to play Caldwell-Pope (finger) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Caldwell-Pope sustained a dislocated right finger Friday against the Trail Blazers but was considered probable ahead of Sunday's rematch. He's scored in double figures in his last three appearances, averaging 13.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 34.7 minutes per game.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Should go vs. Blazers Caldwell-Pope (finger) is officially probable for Sunday's game against Portland.

Impact Caldwell-Pope suffered a dislocated right pinky finger during Friday night's contest, but it doesn't look as though the injury will force him to miss any additional time. He'll likely test the finger in warmups before the team makes a final decision on his availability.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Dislocates pinkie Friday Caldwell-Pope (finger) registered 16 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block in 34 minutes during Friday's 120-108 victory over Portland. He exited...

Impact Caldwell-Pope posted his ninth game of the season with 15-plus points, fueled by his second largest free-throw volume of the season. Caldwell-Pope dislocated his pinkie while attempting to block a shot, and while it is his shooting hand, Benedetto notes that there is no break or ligament tear. Caldwell-Pope's stifling defense would be missed if he is unable to take the court Sunday versus Portland, but during Friday's postgame session he anticipated being ready for the rematch.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Impactful despite no threes Caldwell-Pope logged 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 113-107 win over the Bucks.

Impact Caldwell-Pope is shooting just 23.3 percent on 4.3 attempts from deep across his last seven games, yielding 9.6 points for game over that span. He has failed to post a steal in three of his past six contests as well, and there are likely more intriguing options on the waiver wire if Caldwell-Pope isn't delivering threes and steals on a consistent basis.

Active Tuesday Caldwell-Pope (back/neck) will play Tuesday against Philadelphia, Derek Bodner of AllPHLY.com reports.

Impact will suit up for a Nuggets wing rotation at full strength with the exception of Julian Strawther (knee). Caldwell-Pope has averaged 13.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.5 steals in 33.0 minutes across his last four games.

Likely to play Tuesday Caldwell-Pope (back/neck) has been upgraded to probable to face the 76ers on Tuesday.

Impact Denver listed all five of their starters as questionable Monday evening, but now they are all probable and on track to play against the 76ers. After Tuesday's game, the Nuggets will be off until Friday against Boston which will provide some extra rest to the team.

Tagged as questionable Caldwell-Pope (back/neck) is questionable to play Tuesday against Philadelphia.

Impact Caldwell-Pope is dealing with a cervicothoracic strain on the right side of his neck, which is an injury he dealt with in late December upon returning from a concussion. He is joined by Nikola Jokic (hip), Aaron Gordon (heel), Michael Porter (knee) and Jamal Murray (leg) as questionable for Tuesday's game.

Continues specialist role Caldwell-Pope totaled 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 125-113 win over New Orleans.

Impact Caldwell-Pope scored double-digits and added multiple steals for the third straight game, living up to his reputation as a 3-and-D specialist. Despite being ranked inside the top 80 for the season, Caldwell-Pope is not someone who warrants a roster spot in all competitive leagues. His value is built on steals and low turnovers, making him a serviceable, yet unassuming fantasy commodity.
