REGULAR Season 2011/12

[alby]

Going into the season, I felt that injuries will be much more prominent this year. (shortened training camp, condensed schedule, etc.) This is why I think the Mavericks depth will be HUGE.

Here is the latest on some really crucial players.

Zach Randolph's knee injury is reportedly worse than initially believed.
The Grizzlies were being tight-lipped after the MRI results revealed no serious damage, but Randolph is clearly dealing with something more than just a bruised MCL. Stay tuned for an update, but it sounds like Randolph might be on the shelf for a while.

Manu Ginobili (broken hand) will undergo surgery on Thursday and will be sidelined 6-8 weeks.
He'll get a plate and screws inserted into his hand. Ginobili's timetable had been pegged as 4-6 weeks when the injury occurred, but he's going to be out a bit longer than initially expected. It's a big blow to the Spurs, and his minutes will be distributed among Gary Neal and James Anderson. We like Neal as the pickup over Anderson, as he hit 129 threes at a 41.9 percent clip last year in his rookie season.

For tonight's games
Deron Williams - out (ribs)
Kris Humphries - out (shoulder)
Trevor Ariza - out (groin)
Devin Harris - out (calf)
Josh Howard - out (quad)
Courtney Lee - out (calf)
Dwayne Wade - doubtful (foot)

Eric Gordon has already missed two games (knee)
Mike Conley has missed games (ankle)
Chauncey Billups 2 games (groin)
Rip Hamilton (groin)
Baron Davis has yet to play (back)

As you can tell, it just goes on and on

Fantasy basketball has been more fun this year.
