His absence shouldn't hurt you in a Fantasy= =20 league that goess by averages but it could be a problem in leagues that go = by=20 total points. =20 Avery Johnson , G SA - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00=20 Johnson is suffering from a bruised left thigh and is questionable for=20 Monday's showdown at Utah. Antonio Daniels will start at point guard if=20 Johnson is unable to play. Even if he does play the bruise may sap him of= =20 his speed and hinder his Fantasy production. Bench Johnson for a while if= =20 possible. =20 Gary Trent , F DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00=20 Trent has been working out and could be close to making his return soon. = =20 Owner Mark Cuban told The Dallas Morning News that Trent will be back by De= c.=20 20 "at the latest". This should not persuade Fantasy owners to pick him up= . =20 Unless you desperately need a forward, wait and see if he remains healthy= =20 when he returns before you pick him up. =20 Iakovos Tsakalidis , C PHO - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00=20 Tsakalidis was placed on the injured list due to a dental problem. When h= e=20 was drafted during the offseason Phoenix hoped that he could move into the= =20 starting lineup. He has played sparingly so far this season and has been a= =20 major Fantasy bust. If you have him on your Fantasy team it's time for you= =20 to let him go. =20 Predrag Stojakovic , F SAC - Fear Updated 12/11/00=20 Stojakovic missed his second straight game on Sunday night with a bruised= =20 right shoulder. He injured the shoulder in practice on Thursday and hasn't= =20 played since. In the wake of Stojakovic's injury, Fantasy owners may want t= o=20 look elsewhere for a forward if your roster allows a solid replacement. = =20 Rasheed Wallace , F POR - Tribe Called PLove Updated 12/11/00=20 Wallace has been listed as day-to-day on the NBA's injury report with a=20 sprained right wrist. He sustained the injury during Friday night's loss to= =20 the Sixers and missed Saturday's game against Detroit. Wallace, who is one = of=20 the league's few solid Fantasy centers, has averaged 20.1 points per game t= o=20 lead the Blazers this season. With so few options at center, some Fantasy= =20 owners may have to roll the dice with Wallace this week and hope he returns= =20 to the court for Tuesday night's game at Golden State. =20 Kobe Bryant , G LAL - Tribe Called PLove Updated 12/11/00=20 Bryant suffered a slight sprain on his left ankle during Sunday's game=20 against the Pistons. The injury is not serious, and the league's leading=20 scorer isn't expected to miss any time. Continue starting Bryant, who has= =20 become a real Fantasy stud, on a weekly basis. =20 Grant Hill , F ORL - The Wave Updated 12/11/00=20 Hill was activated from the injured list before tonight's game against the= =20 Los Angeles Clippers. The former Duke star has missed all but two of=20 Orlando's 20 games this season with an ankle injury. In his only two=20 appearances, Hill averaged 13.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per=20 game. He may need a few games to get his feet back under him, but Hill shou= ld=20 still produce numbers good enough to warrant a start this week. =20 Kendall Gill , G NJ - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00=20 Gill missed his third consecutive game on Sunday night due to tendinitis i= n=20 his right knee. He isn't expected to return to the Nets' lineup until=20 Saturday, when the team travels to Atlanta. Gill has been a major=20 disappointment to Fantasy owners early in the season, averaging only 10.5= =20 points per game. It may be time to cut your losses and drop Gill if another= =20 viable option is open to you. =20 Stephon Marbury , G NJ - The Old School Fools Updated 12/11/00=20 Marbury, who has missed New Jersey's last four games with a sprained ankle= ,=20 expects to return to the court for the Nets' Tuesday night contest against= =20 his former team, the Minnesota Timberwolves. "I'm playing Tuesday.=20 Absolutely," said Marbury. "I know it's going to hurt. I've gotten to the= =20 point where I feel like I'm confortable." Unless you have two solid guards= =20 with four-game schedules, it would be wise to get Marbury back into your=20 starting lineup this week. =20 Chucky Atkins , G DET - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00=20 Atkins suffered a bruised heel during Sunday night's game against the=20 Lakers. He shot just 2-for-10 in only 20 minutes of play. The injury isn't= =20 considered serious, and Atkins should return to practice on Tuesday. The=20 Pistons' point guard leads his team in assists (5.2) and is second in scori= ng=20 (12.8), and does have some value in the world of Fantasy, especially to tho= se=20 owners in deeper leagues. With a three-game week, it may be better to sit= =20 Atkins if your roster allows it. =20 Bimbo Coles , G CLE - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00=20 Coles will have a bone scan on Monday and will undergo arthroscopic surger= y=20 on his inflamed left knee on Tuesday. Coles, who was placed on the injured= =20 list on Nov. 22, was supposed to be activated for Saturday night's game=20 against Atlanta before his knee began bothering him again. The Cleveland=20 reserve has very little Fantasy value, especially on a team with Andre Mill= er=20 and Brevin Knight. =20 Elton Brand , F CHI - Denvers Nuggets Updated 12/11/00=20 Brand returned to the court on Saturday night after missing three games wi= th=20 a hyperextended right knee. He scored 23 points in 33 minutes of play in=20 Chicago's 105-81 loss to San Antonio. Fantasy owners who possess the rights= =20 to Brand should put him back into their starting lineup when roster changes= =20 occur. =20 Derrick Coleman , F CHA - The Rounders Updated 12/11/00=20 Coleman is set to resume practice on Monday and will have private sessions= =20 with a personal trainer to keep his weight down. Coleman, who has been on t= he=20 injured list since Nov. 18 due to a lack of physical training, had reported= ly=20 weighed as much as 297 pounds earlier this fall. The team is hoping to have= =20 him back by the end of December. When Coleman does return, only time will= =20 tell if he can regain the form that lead his team in rebounding and was=20 second in scoring a year ago. Use caution before picking up Coleman, who ha= s=20 all the talent to become a solid Fantasy player but seems to lack the drive= =20 and motivation to be considered a real commodity. =20 Roshown McLeod , F ATL - Free Agent Updated 12/11/00=20 McLeod hopes to return to the Hawks' lineup on Monday after spending over = a=20 month on the injured list. McLeod, who had been granted a "leave" by the te= am=20 to deal with the death of his mother, avearged 9.1 points and 2.7 rebounds = in=20 seven games this season. He has very little Fantasy value. =20 Eric Snow , G PHI - Rude Boys (Not) Updated 12/10/00=20 The 76ers placed Snow on the injured list with a stress fracture in his=20 right ankle. Snow, who plays point guard next to star Allen Iverson,=20 underwent a CT scan Thursday that revealed the stress fracture. He is=20 expected to be out for six to eight weeks. =20 Kenny Anderson , G BOS - Free Agent Updated 12/10/00=20 The Celtics activated Anderson on Sunday and placed guard Chris Carr on th= e=20 injured list with a sprained left ankle. Anderson had been on the injured= =20 list since Nov. 6 with a fractured jaw. He had a wire removed from his jaw= =20 Dec. 6 and was cleared to practice Dec. 7. He missed 16 games with the=20 injury. =20 Erick Strickland , G NY - Free Agent Updated 12/10/00=20 Strickland sat out Saturday's home game against Denver due to a bruised=20 leg. He was a valuable Fantasy player as a member of the Dallas Mavericks= =20 last season but is limited now by his lack of playing time with the Knicks.= =20 =20 Emanual Davis , G SEA - Free Agent Updated 12/10/00=20 Davis missed his second straight start for the Sonics because of a spraine= d=20 ankle. Forward Ruben Patterson started in place of Davis, with Rashard Lewi= s=20 moving to shooting guard. Davis is a solid ballhandler and defender but=20 doesn't have much Fantasy value. =20 Elliot Perry , G PHO - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00=20 The Suns have signed veteran guard Elliot Perry. He will be used primaril= y=20 as Jason Kidd's backup but has limited Fantasy value. =20 Chris Dudley , C PHO - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00=20 Dudley was activated from the injured list and started in Thursday's game = at=20 Milwaukee. With the lack of depth at center, Dudley could be of good use i= n=20 a larger Fantasy league, but don't use him in a smaller one. =20 Ruben Garces , F PHO - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00=20 Garces was placed on the injured list to make room for C Chris Dudley. =20 Garces is suffering from a bulging disc in his back. He is used primarily = as=20 a third center so he doesn't have a lot of Fantasy value. =20 Donyell Marshall , F UTA - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00=20 Marshall had missed the two games prior to Thursday's action because of a= =20 sprained knee, but returned to the lineup against Vancouver and had seven= =20 points and three rebounds in 14 minutes. Because Marshall comes off the=20 bench he doesn't have much Fantasy value. But with him back in the rotatio= n=20 forwards Karl Malone and Bryon Russell will play less minutes now. =20 Carlos Rogers , F HOU - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00=20 Rogers will be sidelined indefinitely after suffering a sprained knee. He= =20 is a reserve forward with very little Fantasy value but his absence will=20 force the starting frontcourt to play more minutes. This could have positi= ve=20 or negative affects on their production. If you have Houston frontcourt=20 players on your roster monitor them to see if they flourish or flounder und= er=20 the current conditions. =20 Donnell Harvey , F DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00=20 Harvey has been activated from the injured list to make room for the injur= ed=20 Greg Buckner. Harvey is a solid rebounder but won't receive enough playing= =20 time to be a valuable Fantasy player. =20 Greg Buckner , G DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00=20 Buckner will undergo surgery early next week to remove a cracked bone spur= =20 on his right foot. The surgery could sideline Buckner for 6-8 weeks. Rook= ie=20 Donnell Harvey was activated form the injured list to make room for=20 Buckner. This is the second time this season that he has been sidelined= =20 with the same injury. Fantasy owners should avoid Buckner for he rest of t= he=20 season or until he is playing and producing on a consistent basis again. = =20 Charles Oakley , F TOR - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00=20 Oakley has served his league-imposed suspension and is eligible to return = to=20 the Raptors' lineup for Friday night's game at Golden State. "Oak," who wa= s=20 suspended for punching Clippers' point guard Jeff McInnis, has Fantasy valu= e=20 as a rebounder only, and isn't considered a real commodity outside of deepe= r=20 leagues. =20 Vince Carter , G TOR - Denvers Nuggets Updated 12/08/00=20 Although the team is calling him a game-time decision, it looks as though= =20 Carter will return to the court on Friday night against the Golden State=20 Warriors. Carter practiced with the team on Thursday, and is exciting abou= t=20 the prospect of playing against his former Tar Heel teammate, Antawn=20 Jamison. All signs point towards Carter's return by this weekend at the ver= y=20 latest, so add a little "Vinsanity" to your starting lineup next week. = =20 Grant Hill , F ORL - The Wave Updated 12/08/00=20 Hill was a game time scratch on Thursday night against the Nuggets. The=20 Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Hill is expected to return to the court = on=20 Monday when the Magic travel to Los Angeles for a date with the Clippers.= =20 Hill's return is long overdue for Fantasy owners who held onto his rights= =20 this season. Unless you have a number of solid forwards on your roster, giv= e=20 Hill the start this week pending any setbacks. =20 Hidayet Turkoglu , G SAC - Free Agent Updated 12/07/00=20 Turkoglu is suffering from a shoulder injury and is questionable for=20 Friday's game against Houston. He is a key reserve on the Kings' team but= =20 has very little Fantasy value. =20 More Updates=20 Copyright 2000 Commissioner.COM Inc and SportsLine.com Inc.
