     Udonis Haslem-F/C-HeatNov. 20 - 6:30 pm et
    Udonis Haslem (shoulder) and Quinton Richardson (back) will not play in Friday's game against the Raptors.
    Coach Erik Spoelstra said both players have made progress, but could use a few more days of rest. James Jones is expected to take Richardson's place in the lineup, while Haslem's absence should allow Joel Anthony and Jamaal Magloire to pick up additional minutes.

     Andrew Bynum-C-LakersNov. 20 - 5:35 pm et
    Andrew Bynum missed Friday's practice to get treatment on his right ankle, which he twisted during Thursday's game against the Bulls.
    Bynum said he expects to be able to play Sunday against the Thunder. Meanwhile, Pau Gasol said he has "a lot of soreness," but not in his hamstring, after playing his first game of the season Thursday night. Chalk this up to conditioning; he'll work himself into game shape soon enough.

     Anderson Varejao-F/C-CavaliersNov. 20 - 4:15 pm et
    Anderson Varejao (hip) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Pacers.
    Varejao will come off the bench in relief of starter J.J. Hickson. Troy Murphy (back) is also expected to return after missing six games. Shaquille O'Neal (shoulder) remains out.

     Kevin Love-F/C-TimberwolvesNov. 20 - 4:10 pm et
    An X-Ray revealed that Kevin Love's broken hand is progressing, but he's still about two weeks from practicing and three weeks from playing in a game.
    Love did some outside shooting Friday, and though he says he feels almost no pain in his hand, he is unable to do anything physical. If he returns Dec. 11 against the Lakers, that would put him right in the 6-to-8 week recovery time originally reported when he broke his hand Oct. 16.

     Dan Gadzuric-F/C-BucksNov. 20 - 4:01 pm et
    Dan Gadzuric is the likely starter at C for the Bucks in place of the injured Andrew Bogut.
    Gadzuric is a decent rebounder and occasionally blocks a shot, but won't provide many other fantasy perks. With Bogut out 2-to-4 weeks, though, Gadzuric will get plenty of minutes and might be useful in deeper fantasy leagues. Kurt Thomas, Hakim Warrick and Ersan Ilyasova should also benefit from Bogut's extended absence.

     Michael Redd-G/F-BucksNov. 20 - 3:50 pm et
    Michael Redd (knee) took part in non-contact drills Thursday, but said he will need to absorb some contact before he's ready to play in a game.
    GM John Hammond said it would be realistic to expect Redd to return for a Nov. 25 game against the Hornets. Redd's return date keeps getting pushed slightly back, though; so until he actually starts participating in contact drills, we remain skeptical about his return.

     Tracy McGrady-G/F-RocketsNov. 20 - 3:38 pm et
    Tracy McGrady and Coach Rick Adelman on Friday both denied a Yahoo! Sports report that the two had engaged in a heated argument behind closed doors on Wednesday.
    McGrady said he put on his game uniform Wednesday, despite having no targeted date to return from a knee injury, because "I was excited. I put it on, like a little kid. It felt refreshing to put it on because it was in sight." Adelman said he simply reminded McGrady that he wouldn't play, at the earliest, until after his Nov. 23 MRI, and that "We haven't had any arguments. He wants to know what we're going to do." Check back after Nov. 23 for updates.
