DeMar DeRozan exercises player option for 2020-2021 season

DeMar DeRozan (G - CHI)

According to sources close to the Athletic, Spurs G/F DeMar DeRozan will opt-in to his $27.7M player option for the 2020-2021 season with San Antonio Spurs.

Fantasy Impact
This is a no-brainer for DeRozan as he would be hard-pressed to leave almost $30M on the table during a shortened season and the NBA facing major financial hurdles with fans still not returning to arenas in full capacity. DeRozan should be a top-30 selection for fantasy managers this season but continues to be capped by his limited defensive contributions and inability to knock down three-pointers consistently.
