TERRY TAYLOR NEWS

Let go by Sacramento The Kings waived Taylor on Friday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.

Impact Taylor was unable to secure a roster spot after signing a training camp contract with Sacramento earlier this offseason. He will now likely spend the 2024-25 campaign with the Stockton Kings of the G League.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to Sacramento Taylor signed a training camp contract with the Kings on Friday, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Impact Taylor made 31 regular-season appearances for Chicago during the 2023-24 campaign and averaged 1.5 points and 1.2 rebounds in 6.1 minutes per game. He'll have an opportunity to compete for a reserve role with the Kings ahead of the 2024-25 season.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Chicago The Bulls waived Taylor on Thursday, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

Impact Chicago waived Taylor in order to open up a roster spot for Javonte Green. Taylor will end the 2023-24 campaign averaging 1.5 points and 1.2 rebounds in 6.1 minutes across 31 appearances.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Suits up Saturday Taylor accumulated no counting stats in one minute during Saturday's 124-113 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Taylor played one minute in garbage time, the first time he has seen the floor in over a week. To this point, he has played in only 28 games all season, averaging 1.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in 6.2 minutes per game. Common sense would tell you that he is not worth considering in fantasy leagues.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Decreased role in loss Taylor registered two points (1-1 FG), one rebound and one assist in seven minutes during Monday's 127-92 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Since the All-Star break, Taylor has appeared in seven out of the Bulls' last 10, averaging 1.1 points and 1.0 rebounds in 5.4 minutes. The 24-year-old forward has been overshadowed by Onuralp Bitim lately, who has averaged 16.4 minutes in the last 10 contests. Expect Taylor's minutes to remain limited behind Julian Phillips, Torrey Craig, Dalen Terry and Bitim off the bench.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in 20 minutes Taylor recorded zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 110-97 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Nikola Vucevic (groin) and Torrey Craig (heel) remain out, and Patrick Williams (ankle) left the contest early, allowing Taylor, Dalen Terry, Julian Phillips and Adama Sanogo to see increased roles in the second half of a blowout loss. Taylor's 20 minutes was a season-high mark, and he also made an impact defensively, which somewhat salvaged his poor offensive night. Taylor has played at least 14 minutes in three straight games, but he's averaged just 2.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.0 minutes during that stretch.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Re-emerges Monday Taylor provided no counting stats in two minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to the Heat.

Impact The Bulls dusted Taylor off Monday, affording him playing time for just the fourth time all season. To this point, he has played a total of nine minutes, scoring a whopping two points. Obviously, there is no value here, even in the deepest of leagues.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Continues thriving Tuesday Taylor managed 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Windy City's 93-89 loss to Maine on Tuesday.

Impact The big man continued to parlay his NBA experience into G League domination, tying for the team lead in scoring while setting the pace in rebounds. Taylor had just posted a 23-point, 17-rebound double-double versus the Red Claws in Sunday's contest as well, meaning his two highest totals on the glass thus far have come at the expense of Maine.

MARCH 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Excels in Windy City debut Taylor furnished 23 points (10-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes in Windy City's 123-108 win over Westchester on Sunday.

Impact Making his debut with the Bulls' G League affiliate after signing a two-way contract on Feb. 21, Taylor paced Windy City in scoring and rebounds. Taylor's instant success isn't entirely surprising when considering he boasts 60 games of NBA experience and particularly enjoyed success as a rookie with the Pacers in the 2021-22 campaign while averaging 9.6 points, 5.2 points and 1.2 assists across 21.6 minutes over 33 contests.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Chicago via two-way deal The Bulls signed Taylor to a two-way contract Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Taylor was waived by the Pacers to make room for three trade acquisitions (George Hill, Jordan Nwora and Serge Ibaka) ahead of the deadline. The undrafted big man out of Austin Peavy averaged 9.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 21.4 minutes across 33 appearances (seven starts) for Indiana last year. He opened the 2022-23 campaign as a starter but was quickly relegated to a bench role and completely fell out of the rotation at times. In Chicago, he figures to compete for a reserve role behind Nikola Vucevic and Patrick Williams, especially if Javonte Green (knee) and Derrick Jones (groin) remain sidelined out of the All-Star break.

FEBRUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sticks in rotation Friday Taylor posted four points (2-2 FG) and three rebounds over 16 minutes during Friday's 134-111 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Taylor played at least 16 minutes for the second straight game, partly due to the fact that the Pacers were blown out yet again. Having now lost six consecutive games, their early-season promise is now a thing of the past. Taylor has been in and out of the rotation all season, and so while the past two games have been encouraging, there is very little to see in terms of fantasy upside.

JANUARY 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by Pacers Taylor was recalled from the G League's Fort Wayne Mad Ants on Monday.

Impact Taylor was assigned to the Mad Ants on Sunday, and he posted 29 points, 18 rebounds, three assists and a steal in 35 minutes during the team's win over the Charge. He should see significantly less run with the parent club following his brief G League stint.

NOVEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to G League The Pacers assigned Taylor to the G League's Fort Wayne Mad Ants on Sunday.

Impact Taylor has logged just 11 total minutes over the Pacers' last 10 contests, so he'll head to the G League in order to pick up more meaningful playing time. He shouldn't be in store for a lengthy stay with Fort Wayne, but don't expect Taylor to re-emerge as a rotation player for Indiana upon his return.

NOVEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench vs. Pistons Taylor will come off the bench Saturday against the Pistons, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact Taylor has started the past two games in the absence of Myles Turner (ankle), but coach Rick Carlisle is going with Isaiah Jackson at center Saturday. Taylor should still see run off the bench.

OCTOBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Wednesday Taylor has been inserted into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards, Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files reports.

Impact Taylor is taking over Myles Turner's spot in the lineup after Turner tweaked his ankle in pre-game warmups Wednesday. The second-year big man only appeared in 33 games last season and started in seven. Taylor will start over Indiana's first-round pick in 2021, Isaiah Jackson, which is a fairly surprising development.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Done with Summer League The Pacers announced Thursday that Taylor will not appear in any more Summer League games.

Impact Taylor saw 25.2 minutes per game across three Summer League appearances and averaged 13.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists. He'll likely be fighting for backup minutes in the frontcourt again this season.

JULY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not in starting five Taylor isn't starting Saturday's game against Philadelphia, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Impact Taylor had started in each of his last four appearances, and he averaged 13.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 28.8 minutes per game during that time. T.J. McConnell will draw the start.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Inks multi-year deal with Indiana The Pacers converted Taylor's two-way contract to a multi-year deal Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Taylor is averaging 9.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 21.3 minutes across 31 appearances this season. The undrafted rookie out of Austin Peay should compete for a sizable role in the rotation next year.

APRIL 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting again Friday Taylor is starting Friday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Taylor will join the starting lineup for a second straight game after totaling 18 points, nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in 36 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Nuggets. Justin Anderson will come off the bench.

APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Big game in wild affair Taylor accumulated 18 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 125-118 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Taylor was a menace Wednesday -- racking up eight offensive rebounds while catalyzing a 30-point Pacers comeback. While Indiana ultimately fell short, Taylor supplied a well-rounded and efficient stat line. His 19.99 player efficiency rating is well-above league average.

MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Wednesday Taylor will start Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact After initially being announced as a starter and then pulled from the lineup, Monday against the Hawks, Terry will officially enter the starting five Wednesday for only the second time since the All-Star break. Taylor is coming off an 11-point, two-rebound, two-steal effort in 33 minutes Monday.

MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting after all Updating a previous report, Taylor will not start Monday's game against the Hawks, Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files reports.

Impact Initial reports noted Taylor as a starter at one forward spot, but the Pacers have apparently pivoted to a smaller lineup featuring Justin Anderson and Buddy Hield at the forward spots with Tyrese Haliburton and Keifer Sykes at guard.

MARCH 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Enters startring five Taylor will start Monday's game against the Hawks, Tony East of Locked On Pacers reports.

Impact With several regulars, including Oshae Brissett (back), sidelined, Rick Carlisle will once again smash the random lineup generator and roll with Goga Bitadze, Taylor, Justin Anderson, Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton. This will be just the fourth start of the season for Taylor and only his second since the All-Star break.

MARCH 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies 17 points Thursday Taylor had 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and five rebounds in 30 minutes during Thursday's 133-103 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Taylor was one of the few highlights for Indiana in the blowout loss, as he ranked second on the team with 17 points and was one of only two Pacers to make at least half his shots. The rookie forward has had a roller coaster season that has included wavering production and playing time, but he has been on the upswing of late. Taylor has played over 20 minutes in each of his past six games and has scored at least 13 points five times over that stretch.

MARCH 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Workload exists, plays well Taylor amassed 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 110-109 loss to the Kings.

Impact Taylor has routinely stepped up this season when presented sufficient run. Wednesday, Isaiah Jackson (concussion) returned to action, but he left with a headache after logging just seven minutes. Taylor has averaged 16.8 points and 10.4 rebounds per 36 minutes this season. He's shooting 64.3 percent from the field and carries streaming appeal when the Pacers are shorthanded.
