Brendan Haywood will miss the rest of the season with a stress reaction in his left foot.
An MRI and CT scan confirmed the injury after Haywood three of the last four games with soreness in his left ankle soreness. He has no fantasy value and his absence shouldn't change anything in the Bobcats' frontcourt. Mar 21 - 4:27 PM

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

Brendan Haywood has a sore left and will not play Wednesday night.

He is in a walking boot and could miss more time. After notching 10 points and seven rebounds on March 9, Haywood has scored one point in four games and even received a pair of DNP-CDs. His absence should have zero effect on your fantasy lineup.

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

Brendan Haywood played 29 minutes in Saturday's lopsided loss in Washington, scoring 10 points and grabbing seven rebounds.

Haywood scored 14 points in the second game of the season, but he hasn't cracked double-digits since. Mike Dunlap may have simply been sending Bryon Mullens (five minutes) a message with tonight's benching, and we'd avoid picking up Haywood unless you're desperate for boards and blocks.

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

Brendan Haywood scored six points on 3-of-6 shooting with 11 rebounds and two blocks in 33 minutes on Monday against the Bucks.

If you're in a deeper league and need a big man give him a look, as his role has been relatively consistent and Bismack Biyombo's development is on pause for now.

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

Brendan Haywood returned to the Bobcats starting lineup on Saturday, after missing Friday's game due to a family emergency.

Haywood had eight points, seven rebounds and zero blocks in 34 minutes, while Bismack Biyombo logged just 10 minutes in a backup role.

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

Brendan Haywood (personal) is dressed for Saturday's game and will start against the Mavericks.

Haywood had a family emergency that caused him to miss Friday's game. Bismack Biyombo got the start on Friday played 36 minutes in Haywood's absence. Haywood is off the radar in standard leagues while owners in even shallow leagues should at least keep an eye on Biyombo.

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

Brendan Haywood (personal) will not play on Friday against the Hornets, and Bismack Biyombo will start in his place.

It is moments like these that Biyombo will need to take advantage of to pull himself back onto the fantasy radar. Aside from last season's fiasco that guaranteed him some level of playing time, we haven't seen anything out of Biyombo (yet) to suggest he is ready to take the next step this season.

Brendan Haywood will miss Friday's game due to a family emergency.

Charlotte plays at New Orleans at 8 p.m., so this news is coming late. Hopefully everything is OK with Haywood's family. Bismack Biyombo and Tyrus Thomas should both see a boost in minutes.

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

The Bobcats lost in Dallas on Saturday despite getting a double-double from starting center Brendan Haywood, who had 14 points, 11 rebounds and one block.

Haywood played 31 minutes and we haven't seen him this active in a long while. This is his second straight game playing 30+ minutes, which surprisingly puts him on the radar for owners in need of a low-end rebounds and blocks specialist.

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

Brendan Haywood started at center on Friday and had two points, five rebounds and zero blocks in 16 minutes.

We moved Haywood in as the starter on our depth charts earlier Friday, as Bismack Biyombo appears set to come off the bench. That may help him stay out of foul trouble, so it's not necessarily a disaster. BB had eight points, seven boards and zero blocks in 29 minutes, but is still a better option than Haywood in fantasy leagues. Don't target him until late in your draft.

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

The Bobcats claimed Brendan Haywood off waivers on Saturday.

In order to salvage salary cap space and avoid luxury taxes, the Mavs ate the final three years and guaranteed $27.2 million remaining on Haywood's contract (that number is diminished by the annual $2.1 million salary Charlotte agreed to pay him). Haywood figures to battle for minutes behind starting center Bismack Biyombo, though it's possible he'll wind up starting for the Bobcats.

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

Brendan Haywood has been waived by the Mavericks using the amnesty clause.

This clears the way for Chris Kaman to start at center, while other teams will be able to bid on Haywood over the next 48 hours. The Mavs will end up having paid Haywood $53 million for 126 games, which is a pretty big swing and miss.

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

The Mavericks will reportedly use their amnesty clause on center Brendan Haywood.

This comes on the heels of them signing Chris Kaman, and should clear the way for Kaman to be the full-time center in Dallas. Consider him a sleeper fantasy pick this year.

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

Brendan Haywood has a "spread provision" in his contract that could prevent him from being waived via the amnesty clause.

Haywood has widely been speculated as an amnesty clause candidate this offseason, but the spread provision may salvage some of his limited trade value. In short, any team that acquires Haywood, and then proceeds to waive him, can spread out payments owed to him through 2026. Considering Haywood's behemoth deal, this is significant because a team can potentially take on his deal without compromising salary cap space. Even with all of that considered, it's still not going to be easy to trade him.

Brendan Haywood - C - Bobcats

Brendan Haywood said he "won't be offended" if the Mavericks use its amnesty clause on him.

Haywood, who has been heavily speculated to be an amnesty clause candidate, could very well have seen the last of his time with the Mavericks. Haywood is owed over $30 million over the next four seasons and the team could really use that cap space to be active in the free agent market this summer.
