 Love's return delayed, now targeting Dec. 11
Love
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. Nov. 20 - 4:10 pm et

 Redd practices, eyes Nov. 25 to make return
Redd
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. Nov. 20 - 3:50 pm et

 McGrady, Adelman deny report of altercation
McGrady
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 least 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. Nov. 20 - 3:38 pm et

 Shawn Marion out Friday vs. Kings
Shawn Marion (ankle) said he will not play Friday against the Kings, but should be back for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
"It's feeling better," Marion said Friday. "Just a couple more days and I should be good." Look for Quinton Ross to start again in his place. Nov. 20 - 1:29 pm et

 Howard, Van Gundy discuss approach to team
Howard
Dwight Howard and Magic coach Stan Van Gundy had a private meeting at Howard's request to iron out issues regarding Van Gundy's "negativity" towards the team.
Van Gundy took from the meeting that his approach was "draining the enthusiasm" from the team. The Magic responded with an inspired performance against Oklahoma City. Van Gundy's been on the hot seat at times and needs to keep productivity from his players high if he wishes to remain coaching in Orlando. Nov. 20 - 12:39 pm et

 Report: Knicks will not sign Allen Iverson
Iverson
Despite several reports that Allen Iverson was a near certainty to sign with the New York Knicks, the team has decided not to pursue him for the 2009-2010 season.
Team president Donnie Walsh seemed sold on Iverson but objections from coach Mike D'Antoni and chairman James L. Dolan swayed the decision. D'Antoni and Dolan cited Iverson's volatility and believed he would be too great of a risk to team chemistry. So much for Iverson giving fantasy teams an unexpected boost next week, although he could end up with another team soon. But the Knicks sure looked like the perfect place for Iverson this season.

 Gasol returns to score 24 points in Laker win
Gasol
Pau Gasol returned to action against the Bulls on Thursday, scoring 24 points on 9-of-15 shooting with 13 rebounds, three assists, and one block.
Gasol came out firing with 10 points in the first quarter alone, and lasted to play 35 minutes. He didn't appear to be hampered by his hamstring, even if he did appear winded at times. Owners should watch to see if he experienced any setbacks, but at this point he should be in lineups going forward. Nov. 20 - 4:02 am et
 Deron's 21 helps end Jazz losing streak to SA
Williams
Deron Williams scored 21 points (including four 3-point buckets) and had 10 assists, three rebounds, and a steal as the Jazz ended a decade-long losing streak in San Antonio.
Carlos Boozer added 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Paul Millsap also came through with 20 points off the bench. The Jazz had fallen their last 20 times in San Antonio before winning tonight, and coach Jerry Sloan joked afterward that he could cross this win off his "bucket list." Nov. 20 - 12:28 am et
 Peja cans seven 3-pointers, grabs 13 boards
Stojakovic
Peja Stojakovic canned seven 3-point shots in the Hornets' 110-103 win over the Suns on Thursday, finishing with 25 points on 9-of-19 shooting with 13 rebounds and one assist.
By his recent standards, Peja is on a mini-tear right now, averaging over 20 points in his last three games. With David West struggling recently, and CP3 out, he's becoming a go-to option for the Hornets. The rebounds were also a nice bonus tonight, but he won't get to play the Suns every game.
