Spurs waive Josh Powell.

Powell, who spent some time in China during the lockout, was never expected to make the Spurs' regular season roster. The Celtics and Suns briefly considered him last March, and it's possible that injuries will open up a roster spot for him somewhere this season.

Spurs sign F/C Josh Powell to a non-guaranteed contract.

Powell will compete for a spot in training camp after spending last season in China. The team will also bring in Derrick Brown, Tyler Wilkerson and Wesley Witherspoon for camp.

Josh Powell is drawing interest from the Celtics and Suns.

There was a report in early March that Powell had signed in Switzerland, but he's reportedly back in the United States and "weighing his options." The Celtics make a lot more sense than the Suns with how desperate Boston currently is for size, but Powell won't have fantasy value no matter where he lands.

Josh Powell has signed with the Swiss team Neuchatel.

Powell previously spent time in China this season and could look to return to the NBA next year.

Josh Powell has signed with Liaoning in China.

Powell was an unrestricted free agent after spending last season with Atlanta, and he likely didn't want to risk of a consistent pay check by waiting for the labor dispute to be settled. Powell is one of those players that's far more valuable to his team than he is to any fantasy roster. The earliest we could see Powell in the NBA will be 2012-13, as there will be no out clauses in his contract. He joins Earl Clark and Wilson Chandler as players that have put pen to paper to play in the CBA.

Josh Powell was not suspended following his arrest before Saturday's game, and played six minutes with one rebound to his credit on Tuesday.

Clearly, he has no fantasy value in his limited role, even if you're in a 30-team league.

Josh Powell was arrested on his way to the Hawks' game on Saturday, and as a result he did not play.

He failed to obey on officer when an emergency vehicle needed passage on a busy intersection, or at least that's what we know right now. This sounds minimal in the scheme of player arrests, and either way Powell has no fantasy value at this time.

Josh Powell got his first action since being suspended by the Hawks for one game last week, playing seven minutes on his way to four points on 2-of-2 shooting, three rebounds, and one assist.

He was barely producing enough to be owned in a 30-team league before the trouble, and needless to say he's not worth watching, even in most deeper formats.

The Hawks have suspended Josh Powell one game for conduct detrimental to the team.

No word on what exactly Powell did or said, but we're guessing his frustration got the best of him following Friday's near-historic blowout loss.
Sat, Jan 22, 2011 06:44:00 PM

Josh Powell (knee) returned to action on Tuesday, playing 10 minutes on his way to four points on 2-of-4 shooting with two rebounds and no assists.

It's good news for the Hawks, but has very little bearing on fantasy leagues. Josh Smith and Al Horford won't be leaned on too heavily as long as Powell can stay healthy.
Wed, Dec 15, 2010 01:45:00 AM

Josh Powell left Saturday's game after suffering a knee injury and did not return, finishing with eight points on 3-of-3 shooting with no rebounds, two assists, and a block in 11 minutes.

If this injury is serious the Hawks will be very thin in their frontcourt, and Josh Smith and Al Horford will be hard to bring off the court. We'll let you know as soon as we have an update.
Sat, Dec 11, 2010 10:53:00 PM

Josh Powell came off the bench for the Hawks and hit 8-of-9 shots for 16 points in a win over the Grizzlies.

He got hot tonight, but didn't do anything else and should be ignored in most leagues.
Wed, Dec 1, 2010 11:46:00 PM

Hawks signed free agent PF Josh Powell, formerly of the Lakers, to a one-year, $1.1 million contract.

Powell goes 6'9/240 and will give the Hawks' bench some much-needed girth up front. The journeyman who has played in Europe and five previous NBA teams is an Atlanta native. He won't hold fantasy value in any format.
Tue, Jul 27, 2010 09:09:00 AM

Lakers free agent big man Josh Powell is reportedly close to signing with the Hawks.

The Hawks need a true center, but Powell will be like most of the other true centers they've had over the last several years. A role player off the bench who won't see many minutes per game.
