Warren earns his status as a sleeper for very different reasons than the other free agents listed here.

It’s when that last time occurred that threatens to hold Warren’s contract back.

The last time Warren played over a sizeable portion of an NBA season was 2019-20. He managed four games in 2020-21 before being sidelined with an injury that kept him out for the entirety of last season. By now, his injury history is a real concern.
