Tony Parker Injury Update – Fantasy NBA

If you are a Tony Parker owner in fantasy basketball, you’ve been disappointed with him — in more ways than one. Not only has he struggled on the court, he has struggled to even stay on the court. On Thursday, Parker missed yet another game. He latest injury is a left hip flexor strain.
Last year, Parker averaged 22 points, 6.9 assists and 3.1 rebounds on 50.6% shooting from the field. This season, Parker is averaging only 16.9 points, 6 assists and 2.4 rebounds on 48.8% shooting. On the injury front, he’s missed games due to multiple ankle sprains and has …read more

Super Bowl Fantasy Football – Injury Update

Super Bowl Fantasy Football – Injury Update

While there aren’t many players with injury concerns heading into the Super Bowl, there are a definitely a couple that could change fantasy football projections. Here’s the latest info:
WR Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts
On Friday, Reggie Wayne left practice early due to a right knee injury. While the injury isn’t thought to be serious, Wayne’s fantasy football value for the Super Bowl should be lowered a notch. With Peyton Manning having many options, he won’t have to force the ball to Wayne if he Wayne is gimpy.
DE Dwight Freeney, Indianapolis Colts
While the Colts are still worried about Dwight Freeney’s availability in …read more

Chris Paul Surgery – Fantasy Impact

If you have Chris Paul on your fantasy basketball team, I have some really bad news for you. Paul will reportedly undergo arthroscopic knee surgery to repair torn cartilage and will miss at least a month. Many experts believe Paul will need closer to two months to return to an NBA court.
This is a devastating news for any fantasy team that relies on Paul. On the season, the New Orleans Hornets superstar is averaging 20.4 points, 11.2 assists and 2.26 steals, while shooting 50.4% from the field, 42% from three-point land and 86.2% from the charity stripe.

Leandro Barbosa Surgery – Fantasy Impact

Leandro Barbosa of the Phoenix Suns has undergone wrist surgery and will out of action between four and six weeks. The surgery was needed to remove a cyst that has bothered him for much of the season. While Barbosa isn’t the fantasy basketball asset he used to be, he’s still a player that is rosterable in most leagues.
With Barbosa out, a number of players could step up for the Suns. One player to watch out for is Goran Dragic. The 23-year-old second year player out of Slovenia has played very well lately. He scored a career high on Jan. 23 …read more

Percy Harvin Dealing with Migraines

Percy Harvin Dealing with Migraines

Percy Harvin has had a great rookie season. The Minnesota Vikings playmaker is already a Pro Bowl player and there’s no doubt the New Orleans Saints are scared about what Harvin may do in the NFC championship game. However, it’s not 100% certain that Harvin will be ready to go.
On Thursday, Harvin was forced to miss practice due to a migraine headache. Migraines have plagued Harvin long before he entered the NFL. Earlier this season, Harvin was forced to miss a game due to the condition.
That said, head coach Brad Childress believes Harvin will be ready to roll come this …read more

Fantasy Impact of Kevin Martin’s Return

Kevin Martin of the Sacramento Kings has been out for more than eight weeks due to a broken left wrist, however his return is now just around the corner. He’s been cleared to return to practice and may just days from returning to an NBA court.
For fantasy basketball owners, this is huge news. First of all, Martin is a valuable fantasy player. Before getting injured, he was averaging 30.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.
More difficult to figure out is how Martin’s return will effect the rest of the team. Rookie phenom Tyreke Evans has played a lot …read more

Ron Artest Injury – Fantasy Impact

The Los Angeles Lakers are dealing with a few bumps and bruises. The latest player banged up is Ron Artest. Artest, who suffered a concussion when he fell down on Christmas, played only 19 minutes in Sunday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The burly small forward appeared to get injured when he ran into Michael Redd. The Lakers will likely send Artest to the doctors again to get checked out. He finished the game with two points and four rebounds — and he only shot the ball twice.
With Pau Gasol already sidelined with a hamstring injury, the Lakers depth will be …read more

Vince Carter Injury – Fantasy Impact

Vince Carter isn’t a stranger to injuries. It seems like he’s always in some sort of pain. His latest injury is a mild shoulder separation he suffered against the Washington Wizards on Friday night. Carter’s shoulder injury forced him to miss Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks.
The good news for Carter, the Magic and Vince Carter fantasy basketball owners is that he shouldn’t be out of action too long.
Said Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy: “It’s just a matter of getting the inflammation and the pain down to where he can handle it and then he’ll be able to play. …read more

Pau Gasol Injury Update – Hamstring

Pau Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers has dealt with a few injuries this season. His latest injury is a strained hamstring that he suffered on Sunday as the Lakers were blowing out the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers have listed Gasol as day-to-day, although he’s doubtful to play on Tuesday against the Houston Rockets.
The timing of the injury isn’t too good for Gasol or the Lakers. Between now and Jan. 15, the Lakers have seven contests.
For fantasy basketball purposes, Gasol’s replacements are difficult to predict. Lamar Odom will likely get more time, as will Josh Powell and even DJ Mbenga. …read more

Wes Welker Injury – Fantasy Football View

Wes Welker Injury – Fantasy Football View

The New England Patriots lost their season finale by a final score of 34-27 against the Houston Texans. In a much bigger loss, the Patriots lost wide receiver Wes Welker for the season with a torn ACL and a torn MCL in his left knee.
If you play playoff fantasy football and you have Welker on your team, this is a big blow for you. Welker is an amazing possession receiver who 123 catches for 1,348 yards and four touchdowns. Amazingly, he did that despite missing a pair of contests this season.
While it will be next to impossible for the …read more
