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.

Kevin Garnett likely out until at least Mon.

Kevin Garnett won't play on Wednesday and he's expected to also sit out Saturday's game in D.C., according to coach Jason Kidd.

Kidd left open the possibility that KG will return vs. the Suns on Monday, but the fact that he's already ruling him out for Saturday's game doesn't bode well. Mason Plumlee will continue to start at center with Andray Blatche as his primary backup.

Tyson Chandler (personal) out again Wednesday

Tyson Chandler (personal reasons) will not play vs. the Celtics on Wednesday.

This makes two consecutive DNPs for Chandler, though he wasn't expected to be out for long and should be ready to go for Saturday's game vs. the Bucks. Jeremy Tyler is likely to assume the starting center job with Amare Stoudemire (rest) also unavailable, while Earl Clark will earn more minutes and even Cole Aldrich may crack the rotation.

Report: Phil Jackson agrees to join Knicks

Phil Jackson has agreed in principle to take control of the Knicks' basketball operations, according to the New York Post.

Jackson reportedly gave the Knicks a verbal agreement on Saturday, and although current president/GM Steve Mills will stay on in a lesser role, Jackson will assume the 'president' title while trying to rebuild the franchise around Carmelo Anthony. The Zen-master is almost back.

Rajon Rondo out Wednesday as precaution

Celtics coach Brad Stevens confirmed that Rajon Rondo (knee) will not play vs. the Knicks on Wednesday as a precaution.

Rondo's knee isn't ready for back-to-back sets and the lottery-bound Celtics have no reason to push him at this point in the season. Rondo admitted that he was "tired" while playing 41 minutes on Tuesday, saying, "I think I still could have dominated the game better, so I've got to take this for myself as far as a loss." Phil Pressey should start at PG in his absence, but Rondo will be back in the starting lineup for Friday's game vs. the Suns.

Devin Harris not concerned by sore Achilles

Devin Harris said that his sore Achilles is not a serious concern and he's questionable to play vs. the Jazz on Wednesday.

This is great news for the Mavericks but given Harris' injury history it wouldn't be surprising if Dallas gives him a day off to rest his Achilles. He was averaging 10.5 points in 21.5 minutes in the Mavs' previous four games, and if he can't suit up there will be more minutes available for Shane Larkin and Vince Carter.

Steph Curry takes it easy in blowout win

Stephen Curry, who had a seemingly good matchup against Jose Calderon and the Mavericks on Tuesday, played just 22 minutes and hit 4-of-12 shots and a 3-pointer for 10 points, four assists and three steals.

He was a disaster in daily leagues and didn't do his owners in standard leagues any favors tonight, but is at least playing through a quad injury. The Warriors somehow still managed to crush the Mavericks tonight, and Mark Jackson simply chose to rest him in preparation for tonight's game at Chris Paul and the Clippers (Wednesday). Curry got some much needed rest, as the injury has really slowed him down recently, but you have to think he's going to go all-out against CP3 and the Clips tonight.

Jeff Adrien bounces back in loss to Wolves

Jeff Adrien, who had a whopping one rebound in five minutes on Monday, bounced back with 12 points, seven rebounds and two blocks on 5-of-6 shooting in 20 minutes on Tuesday.

Adrien's owners who took a flier on him with five games this week were pulling their hair out after Monday's disaster, but an ankle injury to Ersan Ilyasova (DNP) helped bring everyone back off the ledge. It could have been a different story had Ilyasova played tonight, but the bottom line is that Adrien put up a decent line. And if Ilyasova misses more games, and even if he doesn't, it's still possible the decision to use Adrien this week was the right one. Stay tuned.

Westbrook survives the Beverley Experience

Russell Westbrook faced off with Patrick Beverley on Tuesday, finishing with 24 points, four rebounds, seven assists, four steals and a 3-poineter on 6-of-14 shooting.

He also hit 11-of-14 free throws in the tough win, and managed to keep his cool, for the most part, with Beverley in his face for much of the game. Beverley even tried the "timeout steal" play that injured Westbrook's knee and resulted in three surgeries and knocked him out of the playoffs last year. This has turned into the best one-on-one rivalry and every NBA fan should be rooting for a matchup between the Thunder and Rockets at some point in this year's playoffs.

Danny Green (wrist) invisible in 10 minutes

Danny Green (sore wrist) started Tuesday's game but he missed his only shot and didn't have any other statistics in 10 minutes of action.

The Spurs took an 11-point lead during Green's brief stint, and they expanded the lead once he was on the bench, so presumably Gregg Popovich just decided to give him the night off. We'll list Green on the injury report as a precaution, as the Spurs have a quick turnaround with a home game on Wednesday.

Andre Drummond injures finger in win

Andre Drummond appeared to injure a finger on his right hand in Tuesday's win over the Kings, but played through it and finished with 15 points, eight rebounds and five blocks.

He was protecting the hand throughout the game and will likely have tests run before his next game. The fact he was able to play through the injury is a good sign, but owners will want to watch for updates.

Marc Gasol flirts with triple-double in win

Marc Gasol got hot on Tuesday and torched the Blazers for 19 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and a block on 8-of-14 shooting.

After struggling for much of the season, Gasol is rolling right now, averaging 15.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 blocks over his last five games, just in time for the fantasy playoffs.
