• Aron Baynes: In hospital with neck injury

  08/07/2021 •

  Baynes remains in the hospital with severe nerve damage in his neck following a freak accident in the locker room during one of Australia's Olympic games, and his status for the upcoming season is now in jeopardy, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. To add insult to injury, this news comes days after Baynes was waived by the Raptors. The veteran big man's health is the first priority at this point, as the news sounds more severe than initially reported. The injury is potentially career threatening, as any significant time missed for the 34-year-old would be difficult to return from.

• Aron Baynes: Let go by Raps

  08/04/2021 •

  Baynes was waived by the Raptors on Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Baynes quickly fell out of favor with coach Nick Nurse last season and often wasn't a meaningful part of the rotation in Toronto. He still managed to average 6.1 points and 5.2 rebounds in 18.5 minutes, but the season was a massive disappointment compared to his surprising 2019-20 campaign with the Suns. As a 34-year-old with issues staying healthy and trouble making an impact last year, it would be surprising if Baynes were to find his way into a fantasy-relevant role this upcoming season.

Baynes saw his first game action since April 10 as he made a return from a foot injury while the team was decimated by injuries.
