CSN Washington suggests free agent Will Bynum as a possible fit for the Wizards.
Bynum is an interesting free agent because of his natural scoring ability. Despite getting just 18.8 minutes per game this season, he averaged 9.8 points and 3.6 assists. Incumbent Wizards backup point guard A.J. Price is a free agent, and so is combo guard Garrett Temple. May 14 - 2:37 PM

Will Bynum said it's his preference to re-sign with the Pistons.

"I want to stay," he said. "My daughter is in school here, and she's comfortable. This is where I want to be." Bynum did say he intends to test the market, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him walk given the Pistons reported interest in re-signing Jose Calderon.
Apr 17 - 8:01 AM

Will Bynum provided a spark off the bench on Monday during a 109-101 win over the Sixers, scoring 22 points with three boards, six assists and two 3-pointers in 25 minutes.

He averaged 15.5 points in his previous two games, so this line wasn't entirely unexpected. Jose Calderon could be out again on Wednesday, which would make Bynum a plausible option for owners needing a point guard.
Apr 15 - 11:51 PM

Will Bynum came off the bench for 16 points, three assists and two 3-pointers on 7-of-10 shooting in Wednesday's win.

Brandon Knight started and played 35 minutes, but hit just 2-of-11 shots for seven points. Bynum had been struggling to produce and with injuries, but looked better tonight. Maybe he's about to heat up for the Pistons, who are currently without Jose Calderon (arm).
Apr 10 - 11:06 PM

Will Bynum returned on Sunday after missing six games with a hand injury, coming off the bench for four points, two rebounds and five assists.

Jose Calderon (arm) sat out again tonight, which opened things up in the backcourt, and Bynum wound up logging 17 minutes. There's no reason to think he'll have fantasy value in Detroit's upcoming two-game week.
Apr 7 - 10:27 PM

Will Bynum (hand) is back in the lineup to face the Bulls on Sunday.

He missed six games with his injured left hand. The Pistons handled him in a curious manner since he was playing through the injury for a while, then the team opted to give him an MRI and an X-ray as a precaution. Bynum should be busy tonight with Jose Calderon (arm) out and could play 24 minutes.
Apr 7 - 6:33 PM

Will Bynum (hand) will not play in Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

It will be Bynum's fifth game sidelined. He has a chance to return on Sunday, but isn't in for much more than 18-20 minutes off the bench anyway.
Apr 5 - 3:03 PM

Will Bynum (hand) will not play on Wednesday against the Celtics.

Bynum is out until further notice, but the point guard said he anticipates playing again this season. In his absence, Rodney Stuckey should pick up some more playing time.
Apr 3 - 1:04 PM

Will Bynum (hand) will not play against the Bulls on Sunday.

The Pistons gave him a battery of tests to check on his hand and they're going to allow it to heal a little while longer. Rodney Stuckey hasn't capitalized on Bynum being out and perhaps he'll have more success tonight. Kyle Singler also benefits sans Bynum.
Mar 31 - 6:10 PM

Will Bynum (hand) will not play against the Raptors on Friday.

Bynum was recently ruled out for the "near future," although it remains to be seen exactly what that means. Bynum's quote about playing "with one hand," however, certainly doesn't make things sound good. After Friday's game, the Pistons are off until Sunday, but it's unclear what Bynum's status is for that one. Rodney Stuckey should eat up a chunk of Bynum's minutes Friday night.
Mar 28 - 5:51 PM

Will Bynum (hand) will be sidelined for the "near future."

The Pistons are off until Friday against the Raptors, so it's not clear if Bynum will be ready to go for that one or if he's looking at a lengthier absence than just a few more days. However, Bynum isn't dismissing the idea he won't play again this season, so we're considering him questionable at best for Friday. "I was basically playing with one hand," he said. While Bynum is out, Rodney Stuckey will play an increased role off the bench.
Mar 27 - 10:19 AM

Will Bynum (hand), who has been ruled out of Tuesday's game, could be shut down for the season if his injury doesn't improve.

X-rays have ruled out anything serious and he's been diagnosed with a "strain." "Every time I get hit, it stings for 30 seconds," he said. Bynum has been playing with the pain since January, and the possibility for him to be shut down is very real. If he is shut down, Rodney Stuckey would step into a bigger role behind Jose Calderon and Brandon Knight for the long haul if Bynum's absence is an extended one.
Mar 25 - 9:10 AM

X-rays on Will Bynum's right hand came back negative, but he didn't play in the second half on Saturday and he is scheduled to have an MRI.

Bynum, who finished scoreless in six minutes, has been bothered by a sore right hand for the past two months. His streak of games with double-digit points already screeched to a halt on Friday, and Brandon Knight's return is a compelling reason to cut Bynum regardless of his MRI results.
Mar 23 - 10:27 PM

X-rays were negative on Will Bynum's right hand on Saturday and he will get an MRI on Sunday.

The fact that the Pistons are now going to conduct an MRI certainly raises our curiosity and Bynum's hand must really be bothering him. If you're on the fence on cutting him in deeper leagues, it makes sense especially with Brandon Knight coming back. Rodney Stuckey and Kyle Singler would see more time should Bynum need to miss games.

Will Bynum will have a precautionary X-ray on his right hand on Saturday.

He hurt his hand way back in January and has been playing through the pain, but the team opting to give him an MRI suggests his pain has been worse. We'll pass along the results of the X-ray, but there's no fantasy impact of this news just yet.
