Arron Afflalo's season-ending hamstring injury is a slight tear and not a strain.
That makes the decision to shut him down look like a much more cut-and-dry choice, but it doesn't change anything as he was already out. Moe Harkless and Tobias Harris are must-own, must-start players while Beno Udrih is going to get extra burn with Afflalo out of the lineup. Mar 25 - 11:55 AM

Arron Afflalo will miss the rest of the season with a right hamstring strain.

It's a tough end to the season for Afflalo but probably the right decision for both him and the team. With only 12 games left and the Magic not going anywhere it makes sense for them to shut him down. The Magic could take this opportunity to get an even longer look at rookie Moe Harkless, who is a must-add in all formats right now. Beno Udrih could also see some extra minutes with Afflalo done for the year.

Arron Afflalo was "in a lot of pain" after a hamstring injury knocked him out of Friday's game against the Thunder.

The comment is from teammate Jameer Nelson, and it lends credibility to the idea that Afflalo could miss some time. Beno Udrih stepped up with 13 points, three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 36 minutes in his absence, and is worth a hard look as a short-term, speculative add with some upside. The Magic have two four-game weeks in front of them followed by a two-game stinker in the last meaningful week.

Arron Afflalo suffered a right hamstring injury in the first half of Friday's game and will not return.

He had left hamstring problem back in October, but him hamstrings have held together all season to this point. Afflalo was helped to the locker room by two teammates and replaced by DeQuan Jones. The Magic take on the Heat on Monday and there's a good chance AA won't be ready for that game. Moe Harkless would get more playing time on the wing and the Magic are really shorthanded tonight with Nikola Vucevic out with a concussion. Jones is only a deep option.
Mar 22 - 7:52 PM

Arron Afflalo hit just 1-of-9 shots for four points in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks.

The Magic's starters were generally awful tonight, as they cleared the bench in an attempt to stay in the game. It didn't work and they lost handily, but many bench players did play well. Expect Afflalo to bounce back in the next one.
Mar 20 - 11:52 PM

Arron Afflalo found a rhythm vs. the Bucks, scoring 24 points with four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes.

AA went 1-of-6 from downtown, making 11-of-20 FGs overall, and he now has back-to-back 20-point games for the first time in a month. He's worth starting in all formats as long as he continues to play nearly 40 minutes per game.
Mar 17 - 3:50 PM

Arron Afflalo played 40 minutes against the Rockets on Friday and had 19 points, three boards, four assists and one 3-pointer.

The departure of J.J. Redick has allowed Afflalo to play more shooting guard and it should open up more scoring opportunities for him. Even though he's struggled beyond the arc, he's scored at least 15 points in the four games since the trade deadline. Keep him in your lineup.
Mar 1 - 10:03 PM

Arron Afflalo scored a team-high 20 points in a loss to the Grizzlies on Friday, adding six rebounds, seven assists, one steal, two blocks and two 3-pointers in 44 minutes.

His seven dimes tied a season high and it was just the second time since January 19 in which he's scored at least 20 points. Afflalo is going to have a heck of a lot on his plate with J.J. Redick out of town and he has a chance to flirt with 20 points per game the rest of the way.
Feb 23 - 12:40 AM

Arron Afflalo (calf) returned to action after a six-game absence in Friday's loss to the Cavs, scoring 23 points on 9-of-17 shooting (including two threes) with four rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes.

It looks like it's all systems go for Afflalo, and if for some reason he was dropped you should run and pick him up. Jameer Nelson added 15 points on 5-of-16 shooting with four treys, five rebounds, 13 assists, one steal, and two blocks as the main guys in Orlando continue to truck along.
Feb 9 - 12:51 AM

Arron Afflalo (calf) will play on Friday.

Afflalo was expected to make his return on Friday, so this is merely confirmation that the plan is still on track. With J.J. Redick (shoulder) still out, Afflalo should see big minutes immediately upon his return unless he's limited in some fashion.
Feb 8 - 11:18 AM

Arron Afflalo traveled to Los Angeles for a personal matter but is expected to return in time for Friday's game against the Cavs.

Afflalo has been tentatively targeting Friday for his return, and it doesn't sound like his personal matter will prevent him from trying to get back on the court on Friday.
Feb 7 - 1:34 PM

Arron Afflalo will not play again on Wednesday due to his calf injury, but he's expected to return on Friday against the Cavs.

AA will miss his sixth consecutive game with the calf injury, but he remains listed as day-to-day. In his place, E'Twaun Moore will draw the start, and should again be a solid spot start as the Magic are without J.J. Redick and potentially Jameer Nelson. Moore is averaging 13.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.7 3-pointers in nine starts this season.

As expected, Arron Afflalo (calf) will not return vs. the 76ers on Monday.

He's missed five consecutive games and it's unclear whether he'll play on Wednesday, so owners in weekly leagues have no choice but to bench him. Moe Harkless finished Saturday's game with 19 points, 14 rebounds, four steals and one block, and makes a nice spot-starter in fantasy leagues.
Feb 4 - 3:04 PM

Arron Afflalo (calf) is not expected to play on Monday.

Afflalo has missed four straight games and there is no timetable for his return. With both Afflalo and J.J. Redick (shoulder) sidelined, E'Twaun Moore has a great chance to play 35-38 minutes on Monday, if not more.
Feb 4 - 12:11 PM

Arron Afflalo (calf) has been ruled out vs. the Bucks on Saturday.

This makes four consecutive DNPs for Afflalo, who remains day-to-day heading into Orlando's four-game week. J.J. Redick is the primary beneficiary in fantasy leagues, though his newfound starting SG job leaves the Magic bench woefully thin.
