Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens, who was available to play, didn't get off the bench on Tuesday.

He's got an elbow injury and it remains to be seen how much he'll play the rest of the way. Josh McRoberts had eight points, eight rebounds and two blocks in another start, and played 41 minutes. He hit just 3-of-11 shots, but is a much safer option than Mullens, obviously.

Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens, who is dealing with an elbow injury, is available for the Bobcats on Tuesday.

He was iffy coming in, but just because he's available doesn't mean owners should expect any miracles, as he's struggled for consistency ever since coming back from his ankle injury this season.

Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens left Saturday's game after four minutes due to a bruised left elbow, and he will not return.

Mullens hadn't played since late March, and his newest ailment merely secures Josh McRoberts as the Bobcats' starting power forward. Even if the elbow injury is minor, Mullens is unlikely to provide more fantasy value this year.

Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens (ankle) is available to play vs. the Nets on Saturday.

Mullens has missed five games and he's coming off the bench behind Josh McRoberts, so his return shouldn't set off a race to the waiver wire. Suffice to say, he averaged 6.4 points and 2.7 rebounds in March.

Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens (ankle) is going to see a doctor on Thursday and could be shut down for the season.

It's the same (left) ankle that Mullens suffered a severe sprain to earlier in the season. Mullens has missed four straight games with the injury and it wouldn't be a surprise if the team simply shut him down. Josh McRoberts is locked into the starting power forward spot regardless of Mullens' health.

Byron Mullens (left ankle) will sit out again Wednesday night.

It'll be the fourth game Mullens has missed with the injury, which is still of unknown severity. Josh McRoberts will continue to reap the benefits while Mullens is sidelined.

Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens (left ankle) will not play against the Bucks on Monday.

This will be his third game missed and there's no word on the severity of the injury. Josh McRoberts played 41 minutes and scored 15 points on Saturday, so he's worth a look while Mullens is out of the lineup.

Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens (sore left ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. the 76ers.

He missed about six weeks with a severe left ankle sprain earlier this season, so it makes sense that Charlotte would be cautious with him as they slump toward the end of another lost season. Josh McRoberts will continue to start at PF and play heavy minutes in his absence.

Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens will not play against the Knicks with a sore left ankle.

This is the same left ankle that cost Mullens over one month of action earlier this season. There's no word just yet when the injury occurred and he is a late scratch. It should be the Josh McRoberts show at power forward and he's worth starting in most formats.

Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens returned to the starting PF spot on Sunday, but he scored only five points with two rebounds and two turnovers in 23 minutes of action.

Josh McRoberts was out with a shoulder injury, which opened up a bigger role for Mullens, who scored 25 points on Wednesday but went scoreless on Saturday. He also picked up four fouls, shot 2-of-8 from the field, and finished the game with a +/- rating of -25, a miserable line for any owners who gambled on him tonight.

Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens went scoreless in 22 minutes vs. Detroit, missing all five of his field goal attempts.

Mullens grabbed five rebounds and blocked a shot, but that's small consolation for owners who gambled on him after Wednesday's 25-point eruption. He even started the second half ahead of Josh McRoberts (shoulder), but McBob was able to return and doesn't seem likely to miss any games. Start Mullens at your own peril.
Mar 23 - 10:24 PM
Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens hit 7-of-11 shots and three 3-pointers on his way to 25 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks in Wednesday's win.

Wow. This is the game Mullens' owners needed to see a few weeks ago while they were still holding him and wanting to put him in fantasy lineups. He's been terrible and on the bench for Charlotte, but is finally coming on. He had 12 points and a full stat line on Monday prior to tonight's explosion, and it's officially time to pick him back up. Just don't rely on him to play like this for too long, as he's capable of disappearing just as quickly as he came on for tonight's monster line.

Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens jumped back on the radar with 12 points, five rebounds, five assists, two threes and a block in 30 minutes off the bench on Monday.

Before you get moderately excited keep in mind that starting PF Josh McRoberts scored 17 points on 5-of-11 shooting with seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in 36 minutes. Yes, Mullens could get back on the right track and be valuable, but his season-long inconsistency should be respected in all add/drop decisions.

Byron Mullens - F/C - Bobcats

Byron Mullens (back) played just eight minutes in Friday's game, missing one field goal attempt for zero points, one rebound and a steal.

Mullens is a big mess right now and he can be dropped in any normal format. He could get his act together down the road, but owners should wait for that to happen before considering an add in those leagues.
