Latest NBA Player News Rex Chapman , G PHO - Free Agent Updated 11/20/00 Chapman announced his retirement Monday because of a series of injuries. He underwent surgery on his right wrist before training camp and began the season on the injured list. Chapman is also scheduled to have ankle surgery soon. Todd Day , G MIN - Free Agent Updated 11/20/00 Day was activated from the injured list Friday. Guard Sam Jacobsen was placed on the list to make room for Day. Day was a key reserve for the Suns in 1999-2000 but was sidelined for the first few weeks this season due to a knee injury. He will be a valuable reserve for the T'Wolves as well but won't help a Fantasy team too much. Brian Skinner , C LAC - Free Agent Updated 11/20/00 Skinner was placed on the injured list after hurting his ankle. Zendon Hamilton was activated to replace Skinner on the roster. Skinner has been somewhat of a disappointment this season averaging 5.8 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. Jeff McInnis , G LAC - Free Agent Updated 11/20/00 McInnis is not expected to play in Monday's game against the Nets after suffering a bruised knee against the Sonics Saturday. Rookie Keyon Dooling is expected to get his first start at point guard for the Clippers. Walt Williams , G HOU - Free Agent Updated 11/20/00 Williams played 26 minutes in Saturday's game against the Suns, scoring four points and grabbing seven rebounds. He had missed Thursday's game against the Hornets because of a hip and groin injuries. Vinny Del Negro , G GS - Free Agent Updated 11/20/00 Del Negro played eight minutes in Sunday's loss to the Knicks. He had missed the Warriors previous two games due to a sprained ankle. Greg Buckner , G DAL - Free Agent Updated 11/20/00 Buckner re-injured his right foot and is expected to be sidelined for at least a week. Hubert Davis is expected to start at shooting guard in his absence. Michael Dickerson , G VAN - Free Agent Updated 11/20/00 Dickerson is not expected to play in Monday's game against the Nuggets due to a sprained ankle. Look for veteran Kevin Edwards to start at shooting guard in his place. Doug West , G VAN - Free Agent Updated 11/20/00 West's strained right shoulder has healed and head coach Sidney Lowe is expected to activate him from the injured list this week. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf is expected to be placed on the injured list to make room for West. Shareef Abdur-Rahim , F VAN - Rude Boys (Not) Updated 11/20/00 Abdur-Rahim is expected to play in Monday's game against Vancouver. He missed Saturday's game to be with his sick mother in Atlanta. If he doesn't make it back to Vancouver in time rookie Stromile Swift could get a rare start at small forward. Todd MacCulloch , C PHI - Free Agent Updated 11/20/00 MacCulloch was placed on the injured list Monday with an ankle injury. With the return of Matt Geiger, MacCulloch's already low Fantasy value diminishes even further. Matt Geiger , C PHI - Denvers Nuggets Updated 11/20/00 Geiger has been activated off the injured list, and could see some playing time in tonight's game in Boston. With Geiger's return, the Sixers placed center Todd McCulloch on the injured list. If you have Geiger on your Fantasy roster, give him some time to get back into game shape before putting him in your starting lineup. Tim Thomas , F MIL - Free Agent Updated 11/20/00 Thomas disclosed on Saturday that he is having some real discomfort in his left knee, and it is getting worse with each game that he plays. Thomas has started off slow, but didn't want to use the injury as an excuse. "It's very painful at times," said Thomas. "The only thing I can do is keep getting rest as much as possible." The Bucks can ill-afford to lose Thomas; they have already lost starting forward Darvin Ham and backup forward Scott Williams this season. If Thomas is on your Fantasy squad, it might be a good idea to keep in on the bench until his condition improves. Eddie Jones , G MIA - The Rounders Updated 11/20/00 Jones has missed three straight games with a right calf sprain, but says that he expects to play on Wednesday night against Cleveland. Jones has averaged 16.9 points through his first seven games in Miami. Jalen Rose , G IND - Farragut Academy Updated 11/20/00 Rose his hoping to make his season debut on Tuesday night against the Rockets, but he's not making any promises. He was suppose to return to action last week, but the team's medical personnel advised him to wait a bit longer before hitting the court. If Rose is on your roster, give him at least another week before putting him into your starting lineup. Joe Smith , F MIN - Free Agent Updated 11/20/00 The Detroit Pistons announced on Monday morning that they had come to terms with Smith, on what is believed to be a one-year deal for the NBA's mid-level exception of $2.25 million (pro-rated after 11 games). Smith had reportedly agreed to re-sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the NBA veteran minimum of $611,000 last week. He will eventually be the Pistons starting center but will probably spend the next few weeks inmproving his conditioning. There is no need to rush and try to acquire Smith. He has been a solid reserve at-best throughout his career. If you have him on your Fantasy team wait awhile before you insert him into your lineup. Marcus Camby , C NY - Tribe Called PLove Updated 11/20/00 Camby turned his ankle during Friday night's victory in Phoenix. X-rays taken on his ankle were negative, then Camby underwent an MRI as a precautionary measure. He missed Sunday night's game against the Warriors, and is listed as day to day. Tim Hardaway , G MIA - The Old School Fools Updated 11/19/00 Hardaway, plagued by knee ailments for the past two seasons, sat out Saturday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers with tendinitis in his right knee. Hardaway said he expects to play in Miami's next game Wednesday against Cleveland. Shaquille O'Neal , C LAL - The Rounders Updated 11/19/00 O'Neal, bothered by a sprained left ankle and a sore Achilles' tendon, was not in uniform Saturday night as the Los Angeles Lakers played the Denver Nuggets. His status is day-to-day. O'Neal said he was injured when someone fell on his leg in the first quarter of Thursday night's overtime victory at Sacramento. Greg Foster took O'Neal's place in the starting lineup. Derrick Coleman , F CHA - The Rounders Updated 11/19/00 Coleman, who missed the entire preseason because of an irregular heartbeat, was placed on the injured list Saturday so he can improve his conditioning. The move comes after Charlotte Hornets coach Paul Silas complained about the power forward's weight Tyrone Nesby , F LAC - Free Agent Updated 11/17/00 Nesby made his fifth consecutive start at shooting guard for the Clippers Thursday. Although he did not score in the game his defense against Vancouver's Michael Dickerson might have solidified him at the two-spot. The switch has worked lately as the Clippers have won two games in a row. Keep an eye on Nesby, if he starts scoring some points he will be a solid Fantasy pickup. Antonio McDyess , F DEN - The Rounders Updated 11/17/00 McDyess appears to have overcome the back injury that stunted his production last week. He scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds against the Bulls Thursday. McDyess is averaging 22 points and 10.6 boards in his last three games. It is now safe to start McDyess again if you benched him last week. Ruben Patterson , F SEA - Free Agent Updated 11/17/00 Suffering from the flu, Patterson is questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks. Patterson recently rejoined the Sonics' starting lineup at shooting guard. If he is unable to play Brent Barry will probably start. Joe Smith , F MIN - Free Agent Updated 11/17/00 The Dallas Morning News reports that Smith has agreed to re-sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the NBA veteran minimum of $611,000. The deal, subject to league approval, could be formally announced later Friday or Saturday. Smith's return to Minnesota will land him in his familiar role as a backup at the power forward and center positions. His situation has created a lot of buzz but the truth is he is not much of a Fantasy player anyway. If you already have a solid frontcourt don't try to pursue him. If your Fantasy frontcourt is lacking then try to get him. He will be a good addition to a Fantasy team but won't be a star. Jaren Jackson , G SA - Free Agent Updated 11/17/00 Once one of the Spurs best outside shooters, Jackson has played in only one game this season, due in part to a lingering ankle injury. At this point it would be wise to get rid of Jackson if you have him on your team and add another guard/forward. Chris Webber , F SAC - Tribe Called PLove Updated 11/17/00 Webber sat out Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a sprained ankle. Scott Pollard started at power forward in Webber's place. Webber is listed as day-to-day and is expected to return for the Kings' next game on Wednesday. Terrell Brandon , G MIN - Fear Updated 11/17/00 Brandon will miss his third straight game Friday when he sits out the T'Wolves home game against the Spurs. Chauncey Billups will continue to start in his absence. It may not be a bad idea to bench Brandon and add Billups to your team until he is back to full strength. Walt Williams , G HOU - Free Agent Updated 11/17/00 Williams missed Thursday's game against the Hornets due to a left groin and hip strain. He will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. Shandon Anderson moved over to small forward in his absence and Cuttino Mobley moved into the starting lineup at shooting guard. Williams remains one of the premier three-point shooters in the NBA connecting on 50 percent of his attempts this season. Chris Mills , F GS - Free Agent Updated 11/17/00 Mills has missed Golden State's last two games because of a sore back. He is questionable for Friday's game at Indiana. When he does return he may be inserted into the starting lineup at small forward. Starting power forward Danny Fortson will be sidelined for the next few weeks due to a sore right foot. Mills and Chris Mullin will be called upon to fill the void in the frontcourt. Vinny Del Negro , G GS - Free Agent Updated 11/17/00 Del Negro missed Wednesday's game due to an ankle injury and is doubtful for Friday's contest at Indiana. Newly-acquired Randy Livingston will be the backup point guard in his absence. More Updates Copyright 2000 Commissioner.COM Inc and SportsLine.com Inc.
