Gerald Wallace of the Charlotte Bobcats is out of action for an unspecified amount of time after suffering a broken rib and a partially collapsed lung in a game on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Wallace got injured when he elevated to score but instead received an elbow courtesy of Lakers center Andrew Bynum.
Wallace laid on the ground for several minutes before he was taken off the court and transported to the hospital. He will remain hospitalized for at least another day. Although it is not known how much NBA action he will miss, it’s obvious that …read more

In case you’ve missed it, these NBA players are out for the season. Obviously, waive them from your fantasy basketball roster and look for alternatives.
Andrew Bynum
Everything points to Bynum being out for the rest of the regular season. He may return for the playoffs but that is looking less and less likely.
Drew Gooden
Gooden is battling an abdominal strain and the Bulls have announced he’s out for the season.
Gerald Wallace
Wallace has been slow to recover from his latest injury and all indications point to him shutting it down.
Chris Kaman
Due to a sprained ankle, Kaman will not again …read more

Gerald Wallace has been out since February 22nd when the 25-year-old forward suffered his fourth concussion of his professional career. While the number of concussions is definitely concerning, the good news is that Wallace is expected to return at some point in the next one to two weeks.
Said head coach Sam Vincent: “He’s feeling a lot better. The headaches are gone. I think it’s just a matter of him getting the final clearance to get back involved in full contact. From there we’ll get him in some practices and let him and see how he responds to that. If he …read more

Fantasy owners have to be annoyed with this injury. Right when Gerald Wallace starts playing great, he goes down with an injured foot. After starting the season off relatively slowly, Wallace averaged 23.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.1 blocks. Now fantasy owners will be without Wallace for at least a week.
Most likely, Wallace will be ready to return for the February 10th game against the Detroit Pistons. However, if Wallace’s foot is still giving him trouble, the Bobcats may opt to sit him all the way until February 19th against the San Antonio Spurs.

There are a number of players who were highly ranked in the preseason who have underperformed to start the season. Are these players busts or simply off to a slow start? Let’s take a look at some of these players:

Pau Gasol, Memphis Grizzlies
Gasol’s numbers are down across the board. If you drafted him, you are probably mad about his production – or lack thereof. While it’s not guaranteed that he’ll eventually bounce back, the good news is that he’s playing better as of late.
Chris Bosh, Toronto Raptors
Bosh, like Gasol, has seen his numbers go down in virtually all …read more

The Bobcats are a team that a lot of league pundits have predicted to have a breakout year. Charlotte has a number of good, young players who seem ready to explode onto the scene. If the Bobcats can remain healthy, this is a team that could produce a number of wins and a number of quality fantasy players.
Here is a look at the Bobcats players:
Emeka Okafor
Okafor is the team’s best player. He’s a beast on the defensive end of the court and can score down on the low blocks offensively. While he’s not the best fantasy player on the team, …read more

Grant Hill, Phoenix Suns
Hill was the story of Thursday’s preseason action. The former superstar who has been slowed by injuries had a breakout performance. In the first half against the Los Angeles Clippers, Hill had 21 points to show that he still has a little bit of magic left. While he’s still a risky pick due to his injury history, he could really blossom into a very good fantasy player considering his skill level and the system he plays in.
Kevin Martin, Sacramento Kings
Martin was inconsistent last season, leading some fantasy players to wonder how he’d perform this year. So far …read more
