Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Doc Rivers said that Darko Milicic's return to the Celtics is unlikely.

Milicic will likely head to Europe to be with his ill mother, and it wouldn't be surprising if this is the end of the line in the NBA for Darko.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Darko Milicic is "leaning toward" leaving the Celtics for the remainder of the season to be with his ill mother in Europe, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.

Darko is playing on a one-year deal for the Celtics, but has only appeared in one game for his new team.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Darko Milicic (personal) will not play against the Pistons on Sunday.

Darko hasn't played in any of Boston's last eight games. Detroit fans that sit near the road team's bench may be the only ones disappointed because they won't be able to boo one of the worst draft picks ever.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Darko Milicic (wrist) was active in the Celtics season opener, but he did not play.

Milcic's wrist is healthy enough for him to play, so we're taking him off the injury report. He's a candidate to rack up several DNP-Coach's Decision in the box score this season.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Darko Milicic continues to practice, but his right wrist is "heavily taped."

Darko said that he was 100 percent healthy, but the heavy tape could be an indication that he may not be all the way back just yet. Despite the tape, Milicic is expected to be ready for the opener.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Darko Milicic practiced on Wednesday despite a wrist injury that kept him out of another game on Sunday.

Darko's not a fantasy target right now, but he said he's "100 percent" healthy, and he could get enough run to warrant a waiver-wire pickup if he gets enough minutes in the middle for the Celtics.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Darko Milicic (wrist) sat out another game on Sunday, but Doc Rivers said he isn't concerned about the injury.

Darko's absence is precautionary, and we expect him to have a sizeable spot in the rotation on opening night. He will likely even start a few games at center this season, depending upon matchups, so keep an eye on him in deep leagues.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Darko Milicic is expected to sit out Boston's games on Tuesday and Thursday with a "mild right wrist injury."

Doc Rivers is hopeful that Darko will return to action vs. the Knicks on Saturday. The underachieving veteran has actually been playing well for the Celtics this preseason, and could even start at center on occasion, when Boston wants to play a big lineup with Kevin Garnett at PF.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Darko Milicic had six points, three rebounds and a block before leaving Monday's game with a right wrist injury.

He has strained ligaments and might need an injection for the pain, leaving him iffy for Tuesday's preseason game. Believe it or not, Darko is working nicely into Boston's plans, but it would still be a shock to see him worth drafting in fantasy leagues. He is day-to-day for now.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Darko Milicic played well in his preseason opener for the Celtics, racking up six rebounds and two blocks in 16 minutes.

The Celtics have a huge hole at center, with Kevin Garnett playing out of position as the starter, so an effective Milicic would be big for Boston. We doubt he'll be worth owning in fantasy, but Darko is worth keeping an eye on.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Celtics sign F/C Darko Milicic.

The transaction is now official and Milicic will be nothing more than a big body behind Kevin Garnett during his tenure in Boston. We sincerely hope somebody films the first practice session between KG and Darko.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Updating a previous item, the Celtics will sign Darko Milicic.

He'll sign one-year, guaranteed deal worth the veteran's minimum. He'll serve as depth behind Kevin Garnett and not much more.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

The Celtics are considered the "favorite" to sign Darko Milicic.

We're taking this with a grain of salt as the report originated in Europe, but it's worth noting that the C's had previously expressed interest in the big man. Milicic apparently turned down a three-year, $6M offer from Real Madrid, and the Celtics could use some more size down low. Milicic has no fantasy value.

Darko Milicic - F/C - Celtics

Real Madrid denied a report that the team was negotiating with Darko Milicic.

Milicic has had no market in the NBA after being amnestied by the Timberwolves and is reportedly uninterested in heading overseas. He may have to wait for a training camp injury to get a serious look, if he gets one at all.
