Report: Rasheed Wallace has stress fracture

Rasheed Wallace's mysterious foot injury is actually a stress fracture, a team source told the New York Daily News.

Wallace has missed six games and is currently wearing a walking boot. According to the Daily News, the team is optimistic the injury won't sideline Wallace long term and is aiming for a return sometime after the Knicks' upcoming three-game West Coast swing. Wallace doesn't have a ton a fantasy value, but as long as he's out, Steve Novak and Chris Copeland will see more minutes.

Knicks, Nets both eyeing trade for Kyle Lowry

The Knicks are reportedly preparing a trade package for Kyle Lowry that would send Raymond Felton, Metta World Peace and a 2018 first-round draft pick to the Raptors.

The Raptors, however, continue to gauge their options with an "ever-growing list of teams," and the "most direct competition" is coming from the Nets. Lowry has a reasonable $6.2 million deal which expires this summer and he's been playing well all year, which puts Toronto GM Masai Ujiri in the driver's seat as talks continue.

Steve Blake (elbow) out 6+ weeks w/ torn UCL

Steve Blake will miss a minimum of six weeks with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

Blake was playing through the injury, which is a testament to his toughness, but further testing revealed the torn UCL. His absence, combined with injuries to Steve Nash (nerves) and Jordan Farmar (hamstring), leaves the Lakers completely barren at PG. Don't be surprised if L.A. signs a PG in the coming days, and we expect more ball-handling duties for Kobe Bryant and the Lakers' platoon of swingmen.

Ty Lawson (hamstring) probable for Friday

Updating a previous report, Ty Lawson (hamstring) practiced fully on Thursday and coach Brian Shaw expects him to play in Friday's game vs. the Jazz.

Andre Miller has been an uninspiring fill-in at PG during Lawson's absence, with Nate Robinson and Evan Fournier picking up more minutes off the bench, but all three guards will resume their usual roles once Lawson is back in action.

Raymond Felton (hamstring) to miss 2-3 weeks

Raymond Felton's MRI confirmed a strained left hamstring and he will miss 2-3 weeks.

Pablo Prigioni started in Felton's absence Wednesday night, but only posted six points and two assists in 31 minutes of action. Beno Udrih didn't fare much better in 17 minutes, so Mike Woodson will have his work cut out for him filling in for Felton over the next two or three weeks. Neither player has much fantasy value even with Felton out, but there are rumors of the Knicks chasing Kyle Lowry that we'll be keeping an eye on.

Rudy Gay will be available to play Friday

Rudy Gay will be available to play for his new team on Friday when the Kings take on the Suns.

The newly-acquired Gay had been unable to suit up for the Kings due to an issue with Greivis Vasquez' visa, but will be available to his new team now that Vasquez has been cleared to play for Toronto. The Kings will likely take some time figuring out how best to integrate Gay into their offense, but the former UConn star is a high-volume player and will find a way to replicate his Toronto stats with his new team.

Greivis Vasquez cleared to play Friday

Greivis Vasquez has been cleared to play against the 76ers on Friday after having some issues with his visa.

Now that Vasquez has been allowed to cross the border, he'll be available for Friday's game against the Sixers and will assume his backup point guard role behind Kyle Lowry. Vasquez will need an injury to Lowry to become worth owning in shallower leagues, but can still be a solid source of assists for owners in deeper leagues even if Lowry is healthy.

Tobias Harris (ankle) targeting Friday return

Tobias Harris (ankle) practiced on Thursday and he's targeting a return to the court Friday when the Magic take on the Cavaliers.

Last year's waiver-wire wonder has only managed to play one game all season, but it's sounding as if TeamTobias hashtags will trending on Twitter in the very near future. The Magic will likely ease Harris back into the rotation as to avoid a setback like he experienced after his first attempt to return before Thanksgiving, but owners in all but the shallowest of leagues would be wise to take a flier on Harris and his upside now if he's available.

Jermaine O'Neal (wrist) contemplating surgery

Jermaine O'Neal is contemplating season-ending surgery on his right (shooting) wrist according to the Associated Press.

While that doesn't sound great we're pretty sure O'Neal wants to be along for the playoff ride, and as long as he's not hurting the team he's a solid bet to grind it out. The situation could ensure that Draymond Green gets 25 minutes per night going forward, and from there the Warriors will turn to Hilton Armstrong and Marreese Speights to backup Andrew Bogut.

Brandan Wright could debut on Saturday

Brandan Wright (shoulder) could make his debut in Saturday's game against the Bucks.

The Mavericks are off Thursday and Friday and it would be a welcomed sight after DeJuan Blair and Samuel Dalembert didn't play well on Wednesday at Golden State. Wright has some terrific upside for his blocks, but there is quite a bit of risk associated with picking him up considering the fluidity at the center position for Dallas.

Stephen Curry leads Warriors in comeback win

Stephen Curry hit 13-of-25 shots and six 3-pointers on his way to 33 points, four rebounds, 10 assists, three steals and eight turnovers in Wednesday's exciting comeback win over the Mavericks.

The Warriors were down all night and Curry's late heroics resulted in yet another unlikely win. They did the same thing last Tuesday against the Raptors, and while tonight's win wasn't quite as dramatic, it was just as impressive, considering the Warriors were down 55-44 at halftime to a good team. Curry is having a fabulous season, as expected, and the fact the Warriors pulled this one off on a night when Klay Thompson hit just 3-of-14 shots tells you just how good Curry is. He's regrettably committed eight turnovers in two of his last four games, but is still averaging just 4.8 of them over his last five, despite that fact.

Andrew Bogut hauls in 18 rebounds in win

Andrew Bogut had six points, a season-high 18 rebounds and two blocks in 35 minutes of Wednesday's thrilling, comeback win over the Mavericks.

This was Bogut's best regular-season rebounding game since February of 2011 and he's finally healthy for the first time in years. He's not scoring much, but his averages of 7.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 26 minutes and 67 percent shooting over his last five games mean that he should be owned and started in almost all fantasy leagues.
