Corey Maggette had his broken nose reset and is probable for Saturday.
Of course, Maggette has been a DNP-Coach's Decision since December 15, a span now approaching four months, so despite being available, he's unlikely to get off the bench. It's safe to say he won't be back in Detroit next year. Apr 5 - 1:24 PM

Corey Maggette, who hasn't since December 15, said that he has never received a reason for his benching.

"No one told me anything," he said. "Do I know why? No. Is there a reason why I shouldn't be playing? No." The Pistons will continue to play their younger players and evaluate their future, and we think it's safe to say that the veteran won't be back with the team next season.

Corey Maggette - F - Pistons

Corey Maggette hopes to sign a new contract with an NBA team this summer.

Retirement has been a possibility for Maggette, but he's feeling confident after "a full year recovering," which is to say not playing. He hasn't played in a game in nearly three months but he's open to returning as a mentor with the Pistons. Regardless of where he lands, the former fantasy stud is no longer a viable option.

Corey Maggette is not interested in pursuing a buyout.

Some people might have forgotten that Maggette was even still in the league as he hasn't played in a game since December 15 against the Pacers. "No, not at all," Maggette said when asked if he wanted a buyout. "I don't even know how it works." Maggette could retire after the current season.

Corey Maggette, who has not played since December 15, will not rejoin the rotation after the Tayshaun Prince trade.

Maggette has already talked about retiring after the season, and the Pistons merely acquired him for his expiring contract.

Corey Maggette received another DNP-CD against the Knicks on Thursday.

Maggette missed time earlier in the month with the flu, although it seems like he's just not getting any run these days. Even when healthy, he's a non-factor for fantasy owners.

Corey Maggette (flu) is not expected to be available for the Pistons on Saturday.

The veteran SF has been racking up DNP-CDs recently, stuck behind Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye in the rotation. Even at full health he's not a fantasy option.

Corey Maggette will be inactive Friday night against the Wizards.

Maggette has played sparingly all season and received DNP-CD's the last two games. He should be nowhere near any fantasy lineup.

Corey Maggette - F - Pistons

Corey Maggette played 14 minutes on Friday, scoring seven points on 3-of-8 shooting with one rebound and one steal.

Maggette can still score, but it's anybody's guess what else he can provide and how much run he can handle. We'll let you know if he deserves fantasy attention.

Corey Maggette - F - Pistons

Corey Maggette returned from a calf injury on Wednesday and had nine points on 2-of-3 shooting in 22 minutes.

It will take a little time for Maggette to get his timing back, but that next injury could be just around the corner, as well. We're not picking him up in most leagues at this point and he'll probably do more to stifle the development of Kyle Singler than anything else.

Corey Maggette - F - Pistons

Updating a previous item, Corey Maggette (calf) will be active Wednesday night against the 76ers.

Maggette said previously that he was ready to go. While he has zero fantasy value of his own, Maggette will likely further limit the role of Kyle Singler, who had been manning the Pistons' sixth man spot and will start Wednesday in place of Rodney Stuckey (flu).

Corey Maggette (calf) worked out his calf at practice Monday and could return Wednesday.

Maggette said the injury is almost healed, but the return date is up to the coaching staff. Given his lengthy injury history and limited role, Maggette has little to no fantasy value except to cut into Kyle Singler's sixth-man role.

Corey Maggette (calf) will miss another game on Monday.

It sounds like he's nearing a return, possibly Wednesday at Philadelphia or Friday vs. Orlando. His return will likely cut into Kyle Singler's new sixth-man role, and owners should avoid Maggette in all formats.

Corey Maggette (calf) will not play on Saturday.

Mags has dealt with this injury for a few weeks now and he's known for being a slow healer. Once he can come back, he'll still be tough to own in even deep leagues because of how often he's on the injury report.

Corey Maggette - F - Pistons

Corey Maggette (calf) ran for the first time since his injury, but he's unlikely to play before next week.

"It's more the explosion," he said. Maggette hasn't practiced since sustaining the injury on October 18, and it's going to take some time for him to find his groove when he ultimately returns. The veteran isn't close yet, but fantasy owners shouldn't be considering him, anyway.
