Thor (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Thor will miss Sunday's regular-season finale due to right knee soreness, which means Tristan Vukcevic should see an increased role. Thor appeared in 11 games for the Wizards this season, averaging 3.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 18.8 minutes per contest.

Wizards' JT Thor: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Thor (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Chicago.
Thor is in jeopardy of missing Friday's contest while he deals with right knee soreness that forced him to sit after playing only four minutes during Wednesday's loss to the 76ers. If the 22-year-old forward joins Khris Middleton (knee) on the sideline, Tristan Vukcevic, Jaylen Martin and Colby Jones are candidates for a bump in minutes.

Cavaliers' JT Thor: Inks two-way pact with Cleveland
Rotowire
The Cavaliers signed Thor to a two-way contract Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
After three years with the Hornets, Thor will join the Cavs on a two-way deal. The 21-year-old played in 63 regular-season games for Charlotte last season, during which he averaged 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds across 12.4 minutes. Thor also shot a career-high 34.6 percent from deep while averaging 1.3 attempts per game.

Hornets' JT Thor: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Thor will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Portland, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
Thor is getting a spot start due to Miles Bridges' (wrist) absence, so the former could be someone to consider in daily leagues. Joining Thor on the top unit are Tre Mann, Brandon Miller, Davis Bertans and Grant Williams.

Hornets' JT Thor: Probable for Monday
Rotowire
Thor (shoulder) is probable for Monday's game against Cleveland.
Thor was unavailable for Saturday's game against Atlanta due to his shoulder injury, but he'll likely be able to return Monday. However, he's been an inconsistent part of the rotation recently, so it's unclear how much playing time he'll see.

Hornets' JT Thor: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Thor (shoulder) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's matchup against the Hawks.
Thor logged 13 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's loss to Orlando, but he won't be able to feature in this one. His availability is not going to impact many fantasy decisions, however, as Thor is averaging a mere 8.5 minutes per game since the All-Star break. His next chance to play will come against the Cavaliers on Monday.

Hornets' JT Thor: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Thor (shoulder) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Saturday's game in Atlanta.
Thor was originally given a probable designation, so he is now trending in the wrong direction. More clarity on his status figures to come closer to tipoff after he is able to test his shoulder out.

Hornets' JT Thor: Hits two threes
Rotowire
Thor racked up seven points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two blocks across 16 minutes during Monday's 128-125 victory over the Timberwolves.
Thor notched his third game this season with multiple made threes, encapsulating what has been a disappointing season from behind the arc. Through 35 appearances thus far, the 21-year-old is shooting just 36.2 percent from the field on 3.6 shots per game. Thor's 469-minute sample size is small, but his defensive performance has been credible, as the Hornets are 5.5 points better per 100 possessions with Thor on the court compared to when he's on the bench.

Hornets' JT Thor: Does little in 22 minutes
Rotowire
Thor finished Saturday's 135-82 loss to the 76ers with two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and two rebounds in 22 minutes.
Thor played meaningful minutes in the loss, yet still managed to produce little on the stat sheet. He's now played 20 minutes just six times in 21 appearances this season, and even if he starts to see elevated playing time on a more consistent basis, he's unlikely to generate enough numbers in any one area to make for an appealing streaming option.

Hornets' JT Thor: Returns to bench
Rotowire
Thor isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Bucks, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Thor and Theo Maledon will head to the bench due to the return of Brandon Miller and Gordon Hayward to the starting lineup Friday. With Miles Bridges also back from suspension, Thor could see his minutes drastically decrease.

Hornets' JT Thor: Irrelevant in start
Rotowire
Thor contributed five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 111-105 loss to the Heat.
Thor started with Gordon Hayward (hamstring) out, but he failed to capitalize on the opportunity. There was preseason hype for a Thor breakout entering his third season, but no such output has occurred yet. The 21-year-old is a good defensive piece for Charlotte, but his fantasy upside is non-existent.

Hornets' JT Thor: Sees 19 minutes
Rotowire
Thor finished with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists over 19 minutes during Monday's 133-121 loss to the Nets.
Thor has had a pretty decent role so far this season, averaging 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 three-pointers in 21.3 minutes per game. Thor had a strong offseason which earned him the trust of the coaching staff, and it's worth keeping a close eye on his workloads going forward.

Hornets' JT Thor: Hefty minutes on tap Tuesday
Rotowire
Head coach Steve Clifford relayed Tuesday that Thor should receive additional run against the Raptors, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Thor has played 34-plus minutes in two of his last three games, so he likely doesn't have much further to expand his workload. That said, the Hornets are expected to be without the entirety of their starting unit, so the coaching staff could lean on Thor to give them as many minutes as he can handle. Kai Jones is also expected to log some time at power forward Tuesday as the Hornets deploy some unusual lineups.

Hornets' JT Thor: Efficient performance off bench
Rotowire
Thor chipped in 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 18 minutes during Friday's 117-109 win over Dallas.
Thor has failed to reach the 20-minute mark in eight of his last 10 outings off the bench, but he has remained valuable after scoring nine or more points in four of his previous five contests during that stretch. That said, his contributions are not enough to make him valuable in fantasy, even in the deepest formats.

Hornets' JT Thor: Sees extended playing time Thursday
Rotowire
Thor finished Thursday's 115-96 loss to the Pelicans with nine points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 27 minutes.
With Terry Rozier (foot), Kelly Oubre (shoulder) and Dennis Smith (illness) all leaving the contest early, Thor garnered an increased role and played his second-most minutes of the season. If Rozier and Oubre remain sidelined moving forward, Thor should be a candidate for a similar role on a regular basis, but his fantasy value would likely be tied to his defensive production, as he's scored in double figures just three times this season.

Hornets' JT Thor: Unproductive in 19 minutes
Rotowire
Thor provided five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in 19 minutes during Sunday's 114-108 loss to the Cavaliers.
Thor failed to put up anything close to fantasy-relevant production Sunday, despite logging 19 minutes. Although he has been a consistent part of the rotation for most of the season, his playing time is typically reliant on the production of others. Given he is well outside the top 400 for the season, he should not be on anyone's fantasy radar.

Hornets' JT Thor: Starting against Miami
Rotowire
Thor is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Thor will get the nod at power forward over P.J. Washington, who has been ruled out due to a right foot strain. This will be Thor's first start of the campaign, and he's cleared the 20-minute threshold just once during this season.

Hornets' JT Thor: Used sparingly again Tuesday
Rotowire
Thor recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound over 10 minutes during Tuesday's 124-115 loss to the Bucks.
While he has been able to carve out a regular spot in the rotation, Thor remains on the outside looking in when it comes to meaningful minutes. He has played more than 15 minutes only twice in the past three weeks, failing to score more than five points in any of those games. The Hornets are running a tight rotation at the moment, so while he figures to be out there in some capacity, he is not someone to consider, even in deeper formats.
