Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks is the most recent star player to be sidelined, joining a veritable All Star team's worth of absences."

Early-season injuries to several star players have altered rotations and created openings for reserve and young players to take on larger roles. Trae Young's absence adds to a long list of notable sidelined players, and younger players have shown they can contribute more at the NBA level than before. A targeted group of lightly-rostered players merits attention for fantasy basketball purposes. Bilal Coulibaly returned from a thumb injury, joined the Washington starting lineup, scored 16 points with strong peripherals in 24 minutes, and benefits from the Wizards' rebuild that will provide ample opportunity. Nickeil Alexander-Walker has oscillated between sixth man and starter roles.
