| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Andres Nocioni | F | Sidelined | Aug 26 | ankle | out until end of September | | Latest News:
The Philadelphia Sixers have advised forward Andres Nocioni to withdraw from Argentina's World Championship team due to his left ankle injury. After an MRI exam on the ankle, the Sixers team doctor recommended that Nocioni stop all basketball and impact activity until the team opens training camp at the end of September. There still doesn't seem to be any concern about him missing the start of the season just yet.

| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Andrew Bogut | C | Sidelined | Apr 3 | elbow | Doubtful for start of season | | Latest News:
The gruesome right elbow injury suffered by Andrew Bogut last year could keep him out for the first month of the new NBA season due to fluid buildup. "I'm optimistic that I should be ready for the season but you never know with these things because of the nerve damage and so on, it's on its own course," he said. "I'm one of those guys who will play through injury but if I'm not 100% for the season to start, there is no sense going into an NBA season at 85% 'cause we're playing up to May." Bump him down a bit on your cheat sheets and keep an eye on him as the Bucks enter training camp. At this point, our guess is Drew Gooden would take over the starting center duties until Bogut is healthy.
8/19/2010 4:35:00 PM | | | | | | Michael Redd | G/F | Sidelined | Jan 10 | knee surgery | Questionable to play again | | Latest News:
Michael Redd, who will have earned more than $100 million from the Bucks, is not likely to play again in Milwaukee. He's undergone a couple of major knee surgeries and simply doesn't fit into the team's plans any longer. He's owed over $18 million next season and won't be ready to try to return until February, and it sounds like the Bucks may be ready to simply place him on waivers. Whether he'll ever play in the NBA again is up for debate, but our guess is his career is over.

| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Taj Gibson | F | Sidelined | Apr 28 | foot | Probable for training camp | | Latest News:
Taj Gibson's name has surfaced in trade rumors this summer, but "Chicago is not about to include Gibson in [Rudy] Fernandez [trade] talks," according to ESPN.com. Gibson had a stealthily effective rookie campaign for the Bulls, playing in all 82 games and averaging 9.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in just 27 minutes per game. The arrival of Carlos Boozer has severely deflated his fantasy intrigue, but he's still worth keeping an eye on.
8/7/2010 10:26:00 AM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Delonte West | G | Suspended | Aug 20 | back | Suspended for first 10 games | | Latest News:
The Celtics have signed free agent guard Delonte West. West averaged a career-high 12.3 points during his last season with Boston in 2006-07, but minutes will be more difficult to come by this time around and he's not likely to have significant fantasy value as a reserve. West is also suspended for the first 10 games of the season due to his arrest last year on weapons charges.
9/1/2010 5:33:00 PM | | | | | | Kendrick Perkins | C | Sidelined | Jun 15 | knee | Out until at least December | | Latest News:
Celtics center Kendrick Perkins (ACL surgery) hopes to resume playing by January, but the team doesn't expect him back until February or March. Perkins can't run or do any basketball activities, but the swelling in his leg has gone down and he's working hard to stay relatively in shape. To his credit, he praised the team for acquiring Shaq and didn't say anything negative about the possibility that he won't have his starting job when he gets back.
8/22/2010 10:13:00 AM | | | | | | Avery Bradley | G | Sidelined | Jun 15 | ankle | Probable for training camp | | Latest News:
The Celtics have signed rookie guard Avery Bradley to a multi-year deal. He's getting ready to under ankle surgery, but should be ready for training camp.
7/2/2010 11:15:00 AM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Craig Smith | F | Sidelined | Aug 3 | knee surgery | Targeting mid-September return | | Latest News:
Clippers forward Craig Smith, who recently re-signed with the team, will miss four to six weeks after undergoing arthroscopic right knee surgery on Tuesday. The Rhino could get some run this season if Blake Griffin suffers any problems from his own knee issues, but should not be targeted in fantasy drafts. It does sound like he'll be ready for the start of the season.
8/3/2010 10:04:00 PM | | | | | | Blake Griffin | F | Sidelined | Oct 25 | knee | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro plans to start Blake Griffin (knee) at power forward this season, and "anticipate[s] him being ready for opening night." "It’s still a one-day-at-a-time process," Del Negro said about Griffin's rehab. "He wants to play, but we have to slow him down and stick with the plan ... We still have the rest of August, all of September, and then we can start getting him up to 100 percent in October." Fantasy owners will want to keep a close eye on Griffin throughout the preseason.
8/25/2010 11:55:00 PM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Kenny Hasbrouck | G | Suspended | Aug 27 | - | Suspended for two games | | Latest News:
The NBA announced that Kenny Hasbrouck would be suspended without pay for two games "for pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated, in violation of the law of the State of New York." Hasbrouck remains a longshot to land a spot in a crowded Heat backcourt that also includes Dwyane Wade, Mike Miller, Mario Chalmers, Eddie House, Carlos Arroyo and Patrick Beverley. This news certainly won't make it any easier for the second-year guard to secure a roster spot in Miami.
8/27/2010 1:53:00 PM | | | | | | Mario Chalmers | G | Sidelined | Jul 19 | ankle | Probable to start season | | Latest News:
The Heat are calling Mario Chalmers (ankle) "questionable" for the start of training camp. Chalmers originally suffered a high ankle sprain in mid-July, but has had his cast removed. Meanwhile, another Heat PG, Carlos Arroyo, continues to be sidelined due to a deep bruise in his left quad. Puerto Rico is hoping to get Arroyo back before the end of the World Championship, so his injury doesn't sound like it will linger into training camp.
9/1/2010 3:59:00 PM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Chris Paul | G | Sidelined | Apr 6 | hand | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Hornets coach Monty Williams isn't concerned about Chris Paul being unhappy in New Orleans. "Chris never said anything about a trade," Williams said recently. "He never asked for a trade. He wants us to be a better team, but we all want that." The Hornets put all their eggs in Paul's basket by trading Darren Collison and acquiring Trevor Ariza, and Williams feels the team needs to focus on improving defensively.
9/1/2010 10:00:00 AM | | | | | | Peja Stojakovic | G/F | Sidelined | Mar 8 | abdomen | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Peja Stojakovic will not opt out of his contract. Stojakovic, 33, had a choice to stay with the Hornets for $15.34 million this season or become a free agent on July 1. He would have needed his head examined if he opted out. With constant back problems and zero defensive skills, Stojakovic wouldn't garner great interest on the open market. We would let someone else take him on fantasy draft day as well.
6/29/2010 8:51:00 AM | | | | | | Ike Diogu | F/C | Sidelined | Oct 1 | knee | Out indefinitely | | Latest News:
Three months after having season-ending microfracture surgery on his knee, Ike Diogu shares that he is working extensively to strengthen his knee to help with the recovery process. He's still a few months away from running. At one time in his career Diogu was a big man with amazing potential, but it's safe to say now that injuries and lack of development have reduced the likelihood of any big role in the NBA.
4/1/2010 9:49:00 AM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Mehmet Okur | C | Sidelined | Apr 17 | achilles | Targeting December return | | Latest News:
Mehmet Okur (Achilles) is rehabbing diligently but may not be ready for the start of the regular season. David Locke offers a sober analysis of Okur's status: "It is still unclear when he will be ready. The opening of the season seems to be a lot to ask and maybe the more important question is when will he be right on the floor again rather than when will he get on the floor again." The Jazz will lean heavily on Al Jefferson, and possibly Kyrylo Fesenko, until he gets back.
8/24/2010 5:40:00 PM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Tyreke Evans | G | Suspended | Aug 27 | concussion | Suspended for first game | | Latest News:
Tyreke Evans has been suspended for one game by the NBA for reckless driving. Evans will be sitting out the first game of the NBA season with this news. Additionally, the NBA suspended Pacer Brandon Rush for five games (drug policy violation) and the Heat's Kenny Hasbrouck for two games (DWI). It was Rush's third failed test.
8/27/2010 1:23:00 PM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Wilson Chandler | G/F | Sidelined | Mar 29 | groin | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Wilson Chandler (ankle, hernia) expects to be cleared to play full-contact basketball by the end of the week. Chandler had ankle surgery in April and then a sports hernia operation in May, but appears on track for opening night. He might not be wearing a Knicks jersey however, as they are rumored to have him on the trading block.
7/12/2010 10:08:00 AM | | | | | | Eddy Curry | C | Sidelined | Jan 2 | calf | Questionable to start season | | Latest News:
Eddy Curry told the Knicks he'd be in Vegas to work out with the team for summer league, never showed up and they haven't really heard much from him since. Curry is entering the most important year of his maligned career, but personal problems (various legal, financial, serious calf injury, new baby, etc.) have kept him away. However, his lack of communication with the Knicks is a big concern, and while his backers say (as usual) that he's healthy and ready to go, we have our doubts. "They've been trying to reach him for weeks," an anonymous player said. Feel free to take a last-round flier on Curry, but it will probably be a wasted pick.
8/26/2010 12:35:00 AM | | | | | | Kelenna Azubuike | G/F | Sidelined | Nov 14 | knee surgery | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Kelenna Azubuike is not yet running or jumping, which suggests that he isn't close to returning to the Knicks and may miss training camp. Azubuike was expected to compete for the starting SG job, but it's looking like he will start training camp on the sidelines because of lingering concerns over his surgically repaired left knee. With his three-point and rebounding potential, Azubuike is a nice late-round fantasy sleeper, however it all depends on if he can get healthy before the start of the season.
8/27/2010 1:50:00 AM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Kobe Bryant | G | Sidelined | Jul 23 | knee surgery | Probable for training camp | | Latest News:
Kobe Bryant said that he's 99.9 percent sure that he'll finish his career with the Lakers. Kobe is signed through the 2013/14 season, at which point he'll be 35 years old. A lot can happen between now and then, but we'd expect the Lakers to give one of their all-time greats a final contract, even as his role will be diminishing.
8/31/2010 10:11:00 AM | | | | | | Luke Walton | F | Sidelined | Jul 23 | back | Questionable to play in 2010 | | Latest News:
Luke Walton's back injury could keep him out for the entire season. Mitch Kupchak calls it a "unique" injury and Walton may require surgery. The Lakers brought in Matt Barnes this summer, and he'll quickly make fans forget about Walton if he is shut down for the season due to his bad back.
7/23/2010 4:05:00 PM | | | | | | Andrew Bynum | C | Sidelined | Jun 22 | knee surgery | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Andrew Bynum had 'successful' arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Wednesday to repair a torn meniscus.
All sports surgeries are initially called a success, but we'll have to see how he handles rehab and recovery before completely buying in. Bynum will rehab his knee for six to eight weeks, in hopes of being at nearly 100 percent by the start of the season. We expect him to be ready to go, but given his injury history, he could be in line to miss a lot of games again this season.
7/28/2010 8:32:00 PM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Rodrigue Beaubois | G | Sidelined | Aug 6 | foot | Questionable to start season | | Latest News:
Mavericks guard Roddy Beaubois will have surgery on Friday to place a pin his broken left foot, and is expected to miss 2-3 months. This is in line with early estimates, and means that Beaubois is questionable for the start of the season. He may not join the starting lineup immediately either, since he'll miss training camp and most likely all of the preseason.
8/9/2010 11:36:00 PM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Kris Humphries | F | Sidelined | Apr 12 | elbow | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Kris Humphries would have to be dealt for the Nets to have enough cap space to sign a pair of max free agents, including LeBron James. It sounds like the Nets are waiting to get word from LeBron, and then would immediately attempt to move Humphries to clear enough space to sign one more max player. It's widely believed that trading Humphries for draft picks wouldn't be that hard to do, but the Nets sound like they'll wait for a commitment from James before doing so.
7/2/2010 1:36:00 AM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Kenyon Martin | F | Sidelined | Jun 28 | knee | Doubtful for start of season | | Latest News:
Nuggets coach George Karl continues to battle neck and throat cancer, but has little doubt he'll be back for the upcoming season. "I'm not sure it's official. Before we make that declaration, there's probably one or two more doctor's appointments that I want to get done," Karl said Tuesday. "But my mind slot is: Get ready."
9/1/2010 10:04:00 AM | | | | | | Chris Andersen | F/C | Sidelined | May 27 | knee surgery | Doubtful for start of season | | Latest News:
Chris Andersen could miss "significant time" while recovering from offseason knee and finger surgery. It was initially believed that Andersen might be ready for the start of the season, but it now sounds like he's going to miss an early chunk of the season. With Kenyon Martin also hurting, Nene and Al Harrington will be leaned on heavily in the first half.
8/19/2010 10:44:00 AM | | | | | | Nene Hilario | F/C | Sidelined | Apr 28 | knee | Out Indefinitely | | Latest News:
Nene will not play for Brazil in the world championships this summer because of "inflammation in both legs." "During the game [on Friday] Nene felt pain in his right leg," said the team doctor. "Clinically, he has a muscle strain in the soleus muscle, which requires him to stay still for five to 10 days. Given the time needed for recovery, we decided to remove him from the World (team)." He should be fine for the Nuggets' training camp and preseason.
8/21/2010 7:30:00 PM | | | | | | Al Harrington | F | Sidelined | Apr 6 | shoulder | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
The Nuggets officially signed forward Al Harrington on Thursday to a reported five-year, $34 million dollar contract. There are mixed views on how good of a fit Harrington is in Denver, but from a fantasy perspective, it appears to be a solid match.
7/15/2010 10:13:00 PM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Brandon Rush | G/F | Suspended | Aug 27 | - | Suspended for five games | | Latest News:
Brandon Rush has been suspended by the NBA for five games for violating the league's drug policy. Rush was expected to start for the Pacers this season, but this news certainly doesn't help his case. It was Rush's third violation of the league policy and his potential to be a sleeper in fantasy this year takes a slight hit.
8/27/2010 1:43:00 PM | | | | | | Danny Granger | F | Sidelined | Aug 11 | finger | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Pacers management has told Danny Granger to expect another trade before the regular season, and he assumes they will try to acquire a big man. "If we see a deal we like, we're going to make it and we're not going to wait," said Pacers president Larry Bird, after they traded for Darren Collison last Wednesday. For what it's worth, Granger seems eager to get some frontcourt help -- "I can play (power forward) but I'm not a true (power forward). So we're definitely going to have to add another big, and I think that will be our main focus."
8/14/2010 11:12:00 PM | | | | | | A.J. Price | G | Sidelined | Jul 26 | knee | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Pacers guard A.J. Price, who had surgery to repair a fractured kneecap in late May, is on the court shooting and should take part in training camp "at some point in October." This is great news for the Pacers, who need all the PG help they can get. With Price hurting and T.J. Ford on the trade block and/or in coach Jim O'Brien's doghouse, it seems Lance Stephenson could emerge with a big role as a rookie.
7/26/2010 10:33:00 AM | | | | | | Tyler Hansbrough | F | Sidelined | Jan 19 | ear | Questionable to start season | | Latest News:
Tyler Hansbrough is trying to work back from injuries to claim the starting PF position in Indiana this season. With Troy Murphy moving onto New Jersey, the Pacers have a big hole at their PF spot this season. Hansbrough has struggled to stay healthy with inner-ear issues and his rookie season was considered a lost one. He still isn't completely healthy, but he did average 12.1 PPG and 6.7 RPG in his last 11 games before the health problems put him out for the season last year. If "Psycho T" can get healthy, the Pacers want their lottery pick from last year to step up and take the starting job, but Josh McRoberts, Solomon Jones and Jeff Foster are also in the mix.
9/2/2010 9:48:00 AM | | | | | | Jeff Foster | F/C | Sidelined | Dec 19 | back | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Pacers veteran big man Jeff Foster is not taking part in contract drills as he works his way back from back surgery. Foster only played in 16 games last season and even with Indiana's need for frontcourt help he's unlikely to make a fantasy contribution this season. Tyler Hansbrough is also limited to non-contact drills as he continues to recover from a concussion and inner-ear problems.
8/23/2010 1:51:00 AM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Greg Monroe | C | Sidelined | Jul 22 | toe | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Greg Monroe has received full clearance to resume activity after having minor toe surgery in late July. "I’ve been lifting and doing core this whole time," Monroe said, "but I haven’t been able to run. I’m able to, first off, just walk around with shoes all day [now]. I’m definitely anxious to get to the season...just focusing on getting back in prime shape and make sure I’m ready for training camp." Sounds like Monroe was in a lot of pain this summer, but Detroit expects their lottery pick to be ready for the season-opener.
9/2/2010 9:27:00 AM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Jose Calderon | G | Sidelined | Aug 23 | hamstring | Questionable to start season | | Latest News:
Jose Calderon (hamstring) is expected to be fully healed by the time the Raptors open camp on Sept. 29, according to Spanish basketball officials. Spain is saying that Calderon will need just four weeks to heal, but we're not so sure. NFL players routinely miss 2-3 weeks with hamstring strains and Calderon tore his. It's a significant injury and he'll need to be monitored closely in the preseason.
8/24/2010 9:23:00 AM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Shane Battier | G/F | Sidelined | Mar 21 | knee | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Shane Battier is expected to resume his starting small forward role next season now that Trevor Ariza is gone. The Rockets had so many injuries last season that Battier started pretty much every night he was healthy anyway. Now he'll just be splitting time at the "3" with promising youngster Chase Budinger. Battier will continue to knock down treys, but is a low-upside fantasy option.
8/12/2010 4:20:00 PM | | | | | | Yao Ming | C | Sidelined | May 8 | foot | Questionable to start season | | Latest News:
Rockets GM Daryl Morey said that Yao Ming (foot) will have his minutes limited and may sit out the second half of back-to-back games this season. Yao has been declared fully healed and is expected to be ready for Opening Night, but doctors are still evaluating how his foot responds to stress. The foot is going to be an issue all year and owners need to make sure they aren't drafting Yao like he's 100 percent. We'll have a close eye on him come training camp.
8/31/2010 9:54:00 AM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Garrett Temple | G | Sidelined | Jul 12 | ankle | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Garrett Temple, the Spurs’ starting point guard for summer league, is likely out for the remainder of the week with a sprained left ankle. Curtis Jerrells will take over the point guard duties for the week, while Temple's injury doesn't appear to be too serious at this point.
7/13/2010 12:48:00 AM | | | | | | James Anderson | G/F | Sidelined | Jun 26 | hamstring | Probable for training camp | | Latest News:
Spurs rookie James Anderson (hamstring) is almost ready to resume full basketball activities. Anderson was at the practice facility Tuesday, lifting weights and working on conditioning with the team's strength staff. "I think I'm getting back to 100 percent," Anderson said Tuesday. "I'm about 95 percent right now. Just working my way back."
9/1/2010 10:15:00 AM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Serge Ibaka | F | Sidelined | Jul 7 | ankle | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Oklahoma City big man Serge Ibaka suffered a sprained left ankle on Wednesday that could end his summer-league action. The injury was feared to be very serious initially, but it's just a sprain. He should be OK by the start of the season.
7/7/2010 8:39:00 PM | | | | | | Eric Maynor | G | Sidelined | Jul 7 | thumb | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Eric Maynor suffered a thumb injury in summer-league play that could keep him out for the remainder of OKC's games. X-rays didn't reveal a break, which is great news, but his summer-league action could already be over.
7/7/2010 8:37:00 PM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Jonny Flynn | G | Sidelined | Jul 26 | hip | Targeting November return | | Latest News:
Jonny Flynn wrote on Tuesday that he is finally off crutches, six weeks after having hip surgery. Flynn had a pool workout and seems to be on pace with his rehab, but there is still a chance that he'll miss the start of the season. Don't expect to see him during training camp or the preseason but hopefully we'll get more positive updates.
8/31/2010 4:27:00 PM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Joel Przybilla | C | Sidelined | Dec 22 | knee | Targeting Nov. or Dec. return | | Latest News:
Joel Przybilla, recovering from a torn patella tendon, is hoping to be back on the court in November or December. Barring complications it sounds like he'll resume his career this season, and the Blazers may need him if (or should we say 'when') Greg Oden and Marcus Camby go down with injuries.
8/26/2010 8:58:00 PM | | | | | | Greg Oden | C | Sidelined | Dec 4 | knee surgery | Questionable to start season | | Latest News:
Greg Oden is rehabbing his broken knee cap in Indianapolis, working out with former NBA rebounding stud Buck Williams, and hoping to be healthy for the start of the season. "We're pleased with his progress and I don't know whether he'll be ready to play opening night or not," GM Rich Cho said. "It just depends on how it's coming." Oden may or may not be in uniform on opening night, but either way, he's possibly the biggest 'risk vs. reward' fantasy player in the league.
8/26/2010 8:52:00 PM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Reggie Williams | G/F | Sidelined | Jul 15 | hamstring | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Warriors swingman Reggie Williams left Thursday's summer league game with a strained right hamstring. Williams had been averaging 23.8 points through four SL games, second only to Cleveland's J.J. Hickson. He's expected to only miss a week, so this is nothing that should linger into training camp.
7/15/2010 7:07:00 PM | | | | | | Ekpe Udoh | F | Sidelined | Jul 12 | wrist | Targeting January return | | Latest News:
Ekpe Udoh had left wrist surgery on Wednesday and is expected to be out for six months. The wrist will be immobilized for 10 weeks, and while the word 'successful' was used to describe it (and every other surgery where the patient was still alive afterwards), it sure doesn't feel like a success. Udoh isn't likely to see the court until late January, if his recovery goes as planned.
7/14/2010 8:08:00 PM | | | | | | Andris Biedrins | C | Sidelined | Feb 27 | abdomen | Out for the season | | Latest News:
Warriors center Andris Biedrins gave a very candid interview recently, saying among other things that Golden State "made me play too quick after the first [back] injury" that eventually required surgery. As a result, Biedrins is using his own doctors and specialists in Latvia this summer. Among other gems, he said that "most of my [Warriors] teammates are egoists ... we aren’t real big buddies, but our relationship is on a professional level." He isn't aiming to play far beyond his 30th birthday, and feels that "if [the Warriors] trade me, there could be some nice changes involved, maybe I’ll be on a better team, with better teamwork." And finally, he reiterated that he felt "very disrespected" when Don Nelson suggested he shoot free throws underhand -- a strategy he refused.
8/9/2010 10:23:00 AM | | | | | | Vladimir Radmanovic | F | Sidelined | Feb 2 | achilles | Day-to-day | | Latest News:
Vladimir Radmanovic will not opt out of his contract. Radmanovic will earn $6.88 million this season, far more than he would garner on the open market. In fact, Radman's agent said the Warriors asked him if the long-range shooting big man would opt out. So that should tell you enough about what the team thinks of Radmanovic.
6/29/2010 8:54:00 AM | | | | | | Brandan Wright | F | Sidelined | Oct 3 | shoulder | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Brandan Wright only made it through 1 and a 1/2 of four summer-league games due to a bruised left shoulder. The Warriors insist he hasn't seriously injured his surgically-repaired shoulder, and simply sat him for precautionary reasons. With Anthony Randolph in New York and Wright supposedly healthy, he could make a little noise this season. However, he will probably have to go through David Lee to do so.
7/14/2010 9:59:00 AM | |
| Name | POS | Status | Date | Injury | Returns | | | | | Josh Howard | G/F | Sidelined | Jul 12 | knee surgery | Doubtful for start of season | | Latest News:
The Wizards have officially re-signed Josh Howard to a one-year deal worth $3 million plus incentives. He is coming off knee surgery, as well as several others over the last couple seasons, and isn't likely to be ready for opening night. And given his injury history, taking him in a fantasy draft is risky business, and would be even if he was fully healthy coming in.
7/30/2010 1:40:00 PM | | | | | | Andray Blatche | F/C | Sidelined | Jun 25 | foot | Probable for start of season | | Latest News:
Andray Blatche continues to rehab his broken foot and is still questionable for the start of training camp in late September. "I’ve been doing a lot of things to keep the strength in my leg and hip," Blatche said. "The first thing for me is getting my foot ready. Right now that is my focus so I don’t miss any practices or preseason games." We'll keep an eye on the talented PF in the coming weeks.

Wizards owner Ted Leonsis watched a pickup game at the team's practice court on Tuesday night and said that Gilbert Arenas looked great playing against other NBA players. Leonsis writes, "[S]uffice to say Gilbert looked trim, fit and explosive. His shot was sweet and he did one left handed dunk that was something to see. It had everyone talking. I was impressed and am happy." It looks like the Wizards are going to try to keep Arenas and this year's number one draft pick John Wall together to form their own version of a dynamic duo in the nation's capital. If Arenas is all the way back, he makes for an interesting sleeper candidate in fantasy circles.
