Stephen Kersey — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 03:38:23 +0000

Hamed Ehadadi is an Iranian center who has played very well in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Standing at 7-foot-2, Ehadadi has piqued the interest of NBA scouts and it now seems like just a matter of time before he ends up in the NBA.

Originally, the NBA said that NBA teams couldn’t negotiate with Ehadadi. But David Stern recently gave the go ahead and now NBA teams are talking with the big center out of Iran.

The current rumor has Ehadadi signing with the Memphis Grizzlies. In fact, Ehadadi himself has said that he expects to end up with the Grizzlies by the start of the NBA season.

During the Olympics, Ehadadi is averaging approximately 16 points, 10 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. In the NBA, he will begin the season as a backup center but could eventually become a starter.

Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic has a fracture in his sternum. It was suffered during the playoffs against the Detroit Pistons, however the injury was just made public recently. The injury typically requires six to eight weeks of recovery time. It has been about six weeks since the injury, so he should be ready to go soon.

Howard is coming off of yet another great season. He’s quickly becoming one of the best bigmen in the game of basketball. This summer, he will try to help lead the United States to a gold medal in the Olympic Games in Beijing.

Although the injury should be healed in time, Howard may be susceptible to re-injuring his sternum again this summer. Keep an eye on him to make sure he stays healthy heading into the 2008-09 fantasy season.
