James Anderson - G/F - Rockets

James Anderson started at SG with James Harden out on Saturday, scoring seven points with five rebounds, two assists and four turnovers in 26 minutes.

Harden is day-to-day, and even if he misses more games we don't anticipate Anderson doing more than this on a given night. View him skeptically until he proves us wrong.

James Anderson - G/F - Rockets

Rockets sign G/F James Anderson.

He recently signed in the D-League and scored 16 points in both of his games with the Rio Grande Vipers. The Rockets have enough depth on the wing to ignore Anderson in all fantasy leagues.

James Anderson will sign in the D-League.

Anderson had worked out for the Timberwolves, but he's made the decision to sign with Rio Grande in the D-League right now.

James Anderson - G/F - Rockets

James Anderson will work out for the Timberwolves.

Malcolm Lee (knee) is likely out for the year and Josh Howard (torn ACL) definitely out for the year, while both Brandon Roy (knee) and Chase Budinger (knee) are sidelined. The T-Wolves could use some additional depth on the wing.

James Anderson - G/F - Rockets

Spurs waived G/F James Anderson.

The No. 20 overall pick in 2010 has averaged just 3.4 points in 10 games this season, and 3.7 points in his NBA career. Opening up his roster spot makes room for the Spurs to activate Kawhi Leonard.

James Anderson - G/F - Rockets

James Anderson could stick on the Spurs roster beyond January 10 when contracts become guaranteed.

Anderson is on a non-guaranteed deal, but if the Spurs don't cut him before the date, his contract will become guaranteed. "There's a chance he stays," Gregg Popovich said. "But it's also a business...because we're not going to pay (luxury) tax. We're not going to do that." Either way, Anderson will continue to be irrelevant for fantasy owners.

James Anderson is likely to be waived in the near future.

Anderson had nine points, four rebounds, three assists and a block on Thursday, and that could wind up being his best line of the season.

James Anderson - G/F - Rockets

James Anderson had a season-high nine points with four rebounds, three assists, one block and one 3-pointer in 20 minutes on Thursday.

He made both of his field goals and had a solid game on a national stage. The Oklahoma State product was a first-round pick by San Antonio and has been disappointing in his career. He can be left on the waiver wire and is basically one bad play away from being cut.

James Anderson - G/F - Rockets

Spurs sign G/F James Anderson.

As expected. Anderson will get a non-guaranteed deal and will likely be cut loose once the Spurs get healthier on the wing.

James Anderson - G/F - Rockets

The Spurs will call up James Anderson from the D-League.

Anderson, a former first-round pick of the Spurs, had been playing in the D-League after the Hawks waived him in training camp. He's not a candidate to come into sudden fantasy value.

James Anderson - G/F - Rockets

The Hawks waived former first-round pick James Anderson on Saturday.

Anderson never found his NBA niche after being drafted No. 20 overall in 2010 -- he's averaged 3.7 points on 38 percent shooting in his brief career. Atlanta decided to keep veteran Anthony Tolliver around for a while longer, at least, bringing their roster to 14 players.

James Anderson - G/F - Rockets

James Anderson, who was the No. 20 overall pick of the 2010 draft, has accepted an invite to the Hawks veteran's camp.

Anderson was pegged as a scorer coming out of college, but he really never showed much during his tenure with the Spurs and has career averages of just 3.7 points and 1.3 rebounds on 38 percent shooting. It's troublesome that the best Anderson could do was a camp invite considering he's just 23 years old and was a first-round pick two years ago.

James Anderson - G/F - Rockets

Former Spurs guard James Anderson may be on the verge of signing with the Hawks, according to a Tweet from ex-teammate Danny Green.

"Got to show love n shout my guy [James Anderson] out for the new deal with Atlanta," wrote Green. "Congrats man! Bright future ahead." Anderson averaged just 12 minutes per game last season, and as noted by the San Antonio Express-News he has a very poor career 49.7 'true shooting' percentage.

James Anderson - G/F - Rockets

Unrestricted free agent James Anderson said he'd like to re-sign with the Spurs.

That's a pretty curious statement considering Anderson's agent reportedly "encouraged" San Antonio to trade the swingman during the season, and we're not expecting to see Anderson back with the Spurs. The No. 20 pick of the 2010 draft should get a chance to prove himself somewhere, but he was barely a blip on the radar screen last season, averaging just 12 minutes per game in 51 contests. He's playing with the San Antonio summer league squad despite not being on the Spurs roster.
