Matt Ryan News, Rumors, Updates - New York Knicks

Out again Ryan will not play in Saturday's game against the Bulls due to right elbow soreness.

Impact Ryan has missed the Pelicans' previous seven games with a calf injury. This is the first time he is being reported sidelined due to elbow sorenss. Once he returns, he will presumably have a tough time cracking New Orleans' rotation.

Unavailable Friday Ryan (calf) is unavailable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Impact This will be the seventh game in a row on the shelf for Ryan. With the Pelicans getting healthier, Ryan will have a difficult time cracking the rotation.

DECEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Friday Ryan (calf) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Ryan has missed the last six games due to a calf strain and will likely be unavailable once again Friday. If he's ruled out, it's unclear whether he'll be available for Saturday's game in Chicago.

DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially ruled out Ryan (calf) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact Ryan's absence streak will extend to six games Wednesday after being downgraded from doubtful to out with a right calf strain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Spurs.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Trending upward Ryan (calf) has an upgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

Impact Ryan has missed the Pelicans' past five games due to a mild right calf strain. Ryan was estimated for a 10-14 day recovery, and he appears to be firmly in line with that window. Dyson Daniels, Jordan Hawkins and Naji Marshall have been busy in his absence.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with mild calf strain The Pelicans announced Monday that Ryan will be sidelined for approximately 10-14 days due to a mild right calf strain.

Impact Ryan is averaging 23.0 minutes per game this season, so his absence will open up significant playing time, especially if CJ McCollum (chest) and Trey Murphy (knee) remain sidelined. Jordan Hawkins has the most comparable skill set to Ryan among New Orleans' reserves, so he's an obvious choice to take most of Ryan's minutes, but Jose Alvarado, Dyson Daniels and Naji Marshall could also see slightly larger roles until Ryan is cleared to return.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Ryan is questionable for Monday's game against Sacramento due to right calf soreness.

Impact Ryan has appeared in each of the Pelicans' first 13 games this season, but it's unclear whether he'll be available against the Kings. If he's unavailable, Jordan Hawkins, Naji Marshall and Dyson Daniels could see some additional minutes.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drains three triples in loss Ryan closed with 10 points (3-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 121-120 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Ryan continues to be a serviceable three-point streaming option, even in standard leagues, connecting on another three triples Saturday. While Jordan Hawkins has elevated his game, Ryan has remained steady, plateauing after a short period of standard league relevance. While he could get hot at any time, his overall upside is too limited to make him anything more than a spot start outside of deeper formats.

Delivers 17 points from bench Ryan accumulated 17 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and one assist over 25 minutes during Monday's 134-116 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Ryan seems to have landed in the right spot after stints with the Celtics, Lakers and Timberwolves over the last two seasons. His shooting acumen at the perimeter has been his strongest suit. He's averaging 6.1 attempts beyond the arc with a conversion percentage of 41.9 percent, which provides an added dimension when he steps in for relief.

NOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to bench Ryan is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Ryan moves back to the bench with the return of Zion Williamson. Ryan is averaging 7.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game when coming off the bench (four appearances) this season.

NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Six threes in Thursday's start Ryan had 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-8 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes during Thursday's 125-116 win over the Pistons.

Impact Getting his first career NBA start with both Zion Williamson (rest) and Brandon Ingram (knee) sidelined, Ryan parlayed the opportunity into a career-best scoring performance. The undrafted forward out of Chattanooga has already suited up for four NBA squads in his three seasons, but he seems to have found a home in New Orleans, averaging 24.2 minutes a night in the early going and shooting 41.2 percent (14-for-34) from three-point range.

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Enters starting lineup Ryan will enter the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Christian Clark of NOLA.com reports.

Impact Zion Williamson is getting the night off for rest, as Thursday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set. Ryan has played 21.5 minutes per game through four contests this season, averaging 7.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 three-pointers.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leads bench offensively in loss Ryan notched 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 130-102 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Ryan led all New Orleans bench players in scoring and minutes while finishing as one of six players with a double-digit point total in Monday's blowout loss to Golden State. It was Ryan's first double-digit scoring effort this season, and he's averaging 8.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22.3 minutes through three games.

Claimed by Pelicans Ryan signed a two-way contract with New Orleans on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ryan was waived by the Timberwolves on Friday prior to the Pelicans claiming him. He'll provide shooting reinforcement as New Orleans attempts to overcome the early-season absences of Trey Murphy (knee) and Naji Marshall (knee). Ryan connected on 38.1 percent of 84 total three-point attempts last season.

Parts ways with Minnesota The Timberwolves waived Ryan on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ryan was let go from his two-way deal Friday in order for Minnesota to sign Daishen Nix. Ryan will look to join a new team for 2023-24 after making 34 appearances between the Lakers and Timberwolves last year.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Friday Ryan (illness) is available for Friday's game versus the Lakers.

Impact Ryan will return to the lineup after missing the last three games with a non-COVID illness. However, he hasn't played more than four minutes since Feb. 8.

MARCH 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday Ryan will not play Sunday against the Warriors due to an illness.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Transferred to parent club The Timberwolves transferred Ryan from the G League's Iowa Wolves to the NBA club Sunday.

Impact Ryan averaged 18.3 points, 4.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds across seven G League games this season, but with Iowa out of the playoff picture, he's returned to the NBA club and will fill his usual reserve role for Minnesota.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Called up to NBA Ryan was transferred to the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Impact Ryan's call-up may signal a potential absence for one or both of Anthony Edwards (ankle) and Jaylen Nowell (knee). Although he would likely be filling a depth role with the team even if the pair are sidelined, there is an outside chance that Ryan would be able to crack the rotation for the first time since Feb. 8. His first opportunity to do so will come Saturday night against Toronto.

MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to G League The Timberwolves transferred Ryan to the Iowa Wolves of the G League on Wednesday.

Impact Ryan will be available for Iowa's game Thursday versus Rio Grande Valley. The two-way forward hadn't played for the Timberwolves since Feb. 8, but he should make a larger impact in the G League

Back with parent club Ryan was transferred from the G League's Iowa Wolves to the parent club Monday.

Impact Ryan was sent to the G League on Friday and saw plenty of run for Iowa over the weekend. He'll be available for the Timberwolves' game against Sacramento on Monday but is averaging just 3.4 points in 9.0 minutes per game with the parent club this season.

Back in action Thursday Ryan racked up three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across six minutes during Thursday's 128-126 win over the Raptors.

Impact Ryan re-entered the rotation Thursday, logging six minutes. After sitting out the previous four games, the coaching staff opted to get him out there, albeit for a limited time. While he has proven the ability to score from the perimeter, his role is far too insecure to warrant any fantasy attention.

JANUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands two-way deal with Minnesota Ryan agreed to a two-way contract with the Timberwolves on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Before being cut by the Lakers last week, the third-year forward averaged 3.9 points and 1.2 rebounds in 10.8 minutes per game while knocking down 13 of 35 three-point attempts in 12 appearances. With Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) and Taurean Prince (shoulder) tending to injuries, the addition of Ryan helps the Timberwolves restore some depth at forward.
