RUDY GAY NEWS

Meaningful role continues Thursday Gay ended with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 18 minutes during Thursday's 132-129 overtime victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Gay logged at least 15 minutes for the fifth consecutive game, although the production tells another tale. While he has been a regular part of the rotation of late, he has scored more than five points only once, sitting well outside the top 250 overall. It's always nice to see veterans playing a role on young, rebuilding teams, but his fantasy value is basically non-existent at this point.

Gets 15 minutes in return Gay (finger) generated nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 15 minutes in Wednesday's 124-123 win over the Warriors.

Impact Taking the court for the first time since Nov. 13, Gay claimed a spot in the rotation and fared well during his time on the court. With all of Kelly Olynyk, Jarred Vanderbilt and Walker Kessler viewed as greater priorities in the frontcourt, Gay is unlikely to see his role expand much moving forward, and the impending return of Lauri Markkanen (illness) could even result in Gay losing some minutes.
