 Latest NBA Player News 

 Elliot Perry , G PHO - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00 
 The Suns have signed veteran guard Elliot Perry.  He will be used primarily 
as Jason Kidd's backup but has limited Fantasy value.  

 Chris Dudley , C PHO - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00 
 Dudley was activated from the injured list and started in Thursday's game at 
Milwaukee.  With the lack of depth at center, Dudley could be of good use in 
a larger Fantasy league, but don't use him in a smaller one.    

 Ruben Garces , F PHO - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00 
 Garces was placed on the injured list to make room for C Chris Dudley.  
Garces is suffering from a bulging disc in his back.  He is used primarily as 
a third center so he doesn't have a lot of Fantasy value.  

 Donyell Marshall , F UTA - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00 
 Marshall had missed the two games prior to Thursday's action because of a 
sprained knee, but returned to the lineup against Vancouver and had seven 
points and three rebounds in 14 minutes.  Because Marshall comes off the 
bench he doesn't have much Fantasy value.  But with him back in the rotation 
forwards Karl Malone and Bryon Russell will play less minutes now.     

 Carlos Rogers , F HOU - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00 
 Rogers will be sidelined indefinitely after suffering a sprained knee.  He 
is a reserve forward with very little Fantasy value but his absence will 
force the starting frontcourt to play more minutes.  This could have positive 
or negative affects on their production.  If you have Houston frontcourt 
players on your roster monitor them to see if they flourish or flounder under 
the current conditions.    

 Donnell Harvey , F DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00 
 Harvey has been activated from the injured list to make room for the injured 
Greg Buckner.  Harvey is a solid rebounder but won't receive enough playing 
time to be a valuable Fantasy player.     

 Greg Buckner , G DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00 
 Buckner will undergo surgery early next week to remove a cracked bone spur 
on his right foot.  The surgery could sideline Buckner for 6-8 weeks.  Rookie 
Donnell Harvey was activated form the injured list to make room for 
Buckner.   This is the second time this season that he has been sidelined 
with the same injury.  Fantasy owners should avoid Buckner for he rest of the 
season or until he is playing and producing on a consistent basis again.     

 Charles Oakley , F TOR - Free Agent Updated 12/08/00 
 Oakley has served his league-imposed suspension and is eligible to return to 
the Raptors' lineup for Friday night's game at Golden State.  "Oak," who was 
suspended for punching Clippers' point guard Jeff McInnis, has Fantasy value 
as a rebounder only, and isn't considered a real commodity outside of deeper 
leagues.    

 Vince Carter , G TOR - Denvers Nuggets Updated 12/08/00 
 Although the team is calling him a game-time decision, it looks as though 
Carter will return to the court on Friday night against the Golden State 
Warriors.  Carter practiced with the team on Thursday, and is exciting about 
the prospect of playing against his former Tar Heel teammate,  Antawn 
Jamison. All signs point towards Carter's return by this weekend at the very 
latest, so add a little "Vinsanity" to your starting lineup next week.    

 Grant Hill , F ORL - The Wave Updated 12/08/00 
 Hill was a game time scratch on Thursday night against the Nuggets. The 
Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Hill is expected to return to the court on 
Monday when the Magic travel to Los Angeles for a date with the Clippers. 
Hill's return is long overdue for Fantasy owners who held onto his rights 
this season. Unless you have a number of solid forwards on your roster, give 
Hill the start this week pending any setbacks.    

 Hidayet Turkoglu , G SAC - Free Agent Updated 12/07/00 
 Turkoglu is suffering from a shoulder injury and is questionable for 
Friday's game against Houston.  He is a key reserve on the Kings' team but 
has very little Fantasy value.     

 Steve Nash , G DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/07/00 
 Nash returned to action against the Knicks Wednesday after missing two 
straight games because of a calf injury.  He didn't seem to be bothered by 
the injury as he scored 14 points and dished off for six assists.  It is now 
safe to play Nash on your Fantasy team again.     

 Donyell Marshall , F UTA - Free Agent Updated 12/07/00 
 Marshall is recovering from a sprained knee and is questionable for 
Thursday's game against the Grizzlies.  Look for starters Bryon Russell and 
Karl Malone to play extra minutes in his absence.  Avoid using Marshall until 
he appears to be fully recovered.    

 Kevin Garnett , F MIN - Farragut Academy Updated 12/07/00 
 Garnett hurt his right ring finger in Tuesday's game and was scheduled to 
have it examined Wednesday.  He is expected to play against the Wizards 
Thursday.  Monitor Garnett's situation.  Something as simple as an injured 
finger on his shooting hand could lead to an offensive slump and affect his 
Fantasy numbers.    

 Terry Davis , F DEN - Free Agent Updated 12/07/00 
 Davis will be eligible to come off the injured list Sunday but Achilles 
tendonitis in his right leg is expected to keep him sidelined a little bit 
longer.  He has been injury prone throughout his career and doesn't have much 
Fantasy value.    

 Antonio McDyess , F DEN - The Rounders Updated 12/07/00 
 McDyess suffered a bruised right shin in Wednesday's game against the Heat 
and is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Magic.  Keon Clark 
will start at power forward if McDyess is unable to play.  The leg is sore 
now but look for McDyess to be back to normal in a few days.    

 Grant Hill , F ORL - The Wave Updated 12/07/00 
 Hill may be ready to return to the court for Thursday night's game against 
the Nuggets. He has missed most of the season with an ankle injury, but he 
practiced on Wednesday, and all indications signal his return to the court. 
"I can't give you the official thumbs up," said Head Coach Doc Rivers, "but 
it looks good." Fantasy owners who have been waiting for Hill's return will 
likely get him back in time for next week, when Orlando embarks on a 
four-game West Coast road trip.   

 Gary Trent , F DAL - Free Agent Updated 12/07/00 
 According to The Dallas Morning Star Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is hopeful 
that Trent will travel on the Mavericks' next road trip, a six-game swing on 
the East Coast.  Trent is not expected to be activated on the trip but could 
be back in action in another two weeks.  He has been sidelined since the 
first preseason game with a strained upper abductor muscle.  Trent is a good 
inside scorer and a solid rebounder but is injury prone.  When he does return 
Fantasy owners should refrain from picking him up unless they desperately 
need a forward.     

 Stephon Marbury , G NJ - The Old School Fools Updated 12/07/00 
 Marbury missed his second consecutive game on Wednesday night because of an 
ankle injury. He turned the ankle last  Friday night in Orlando, then turned 
it again the following night against the Magic back in New Jersey. He is 
still lacking some of his explosiveness, but says that the pain in the ankle 
is diminishing. Marbury hopes to return on Friday night when the Nets host 
the Phoenix Suns. Fantasy owners who lost Marbury last week should have their 
star point guard back in time for next week's roster changes.  

 Vince Carter , G TOR - Denvers Nuggets Updated 12/07/00 
 Carter was in uniform for Wednesday night's game against Portland, but he 
didn't see any playing time. "Air Canada" said that he felt well enough to 
play, but team doctors wouldn't give him permission to get in the game. "We'd 
like to have him back as soon as possible," said Head Coach Lenny Wilkens, 
"but we're not going to bring him back before he's ready." Toronto finishes 
their three-game West Coast swing on Friday night against Golden State, at 
which time Carter hopes to make his return. The Raptors' star should be back 
before Monday, so most Fantasy owners can re-insert him into their lineup in 
time for next week.    

 Andre Miller , G CLE - The Rounders Updated 12/07/00 
 Miller took a knee to the nose during Wednesday night's game at Chicago 
which sent him to the bench temporarily. He returned to the game with a 
vengeance, finishing with 20 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds in 
Cleveland's 92-88 victory. The shot to the nose won't keep Miller from 
missing any playing time, so continue to use the young point guard in your 
starting lineup.    

 Elton Brand , F CHI - Denvers Nuggets Updated 12/07/00 
 Brand missed his second consecutive game on Wednesday night against 
Cleveland. He is reportedly making progress with his hyperextended left knee, 
and has been able to run on a treadmill this week.  Brand is listed as day to 
day, and says that he has about a 50 percent chance of playing on Friday 
night against Dallas. With most roster changes occurring on Monday, Fantasy 
owners should be able to put the Bulls' star back in their lineup for next 
week's games.   

 Eric Snow , G PHI - Rude Boys (Not) Updated 12/06/00 
 The 76ers will be without Snow for six to eight weeks after a CT scan 
Wednesday showed a stress fracture in his right ankle. He was second on the 
team with a career-high 12.2 ppg, and led the Sixers with 6.6 assists per 
contest. Although Philadelphia sports a deep roster, one can't help but 
assume this will have an impact on the team's fortunes for Fantasy purposes.  

 Chris Dudley , C PHO - Free Agent Updated 12/06/00 
 Dudley will travel with the Suns on their end of the week road-trip that 
starts in Milwaukee Thursday.  He will most likely be questionable for all 
the games.  Look for him to finally return to action next week.  With Dudley 
out of the lineup Corie Blount and rookie Daniel Santiago will continue to 
get playing time.  With the lack of depth at center, Dudley's rebounding 
makes him a starter on your Fantasy team if you are using a reserve in his 
position.    

 Chris Mills , F GS - Free Agent Updated 12/06/00 
 Mills is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Lakers because of pain in 
his right ankle.  He was scheduled to see a foot specialist on Tuesday and 
underwent surgery last season to remove bone spurs from the ankle.  Sit Mills 
on your Fantasy bench for now.  If you are playing in a small league drop him 
from your roster and add another forward.     

 Ron Mercer , G CHI - The Old School Fools Updated 12/06/00 
 Mercer sat out of Tuesday's game against the T'Wolves because of the flu.  
Corey Benjamin started at shooting guard in place of Mercer.  Mercer's status 
for Wednesday's game is up in the air.  He has been a major disappointment so 
far this season.  If you play in a deep Fantasy league keep him on your 
roster, if you are in a smaller one look to make an upgrade at guard.  The 
way Mercer has been producing you shouldn't have a hard time finding a better 
guard.    

 Jerome Williams , F DET - Free Agent Updated 12/06/00 
 Williams sprained his ankle in Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies and is 
questionable for Wednesday's contest at Seattle.  The ankle will probably 
limit Williams' production in the next few games so use a healthy forward 
instead.    

 Billy Owens , F DET - Free Agent Updated 12/06/00 
 Owens strained his right biceps in Tuesday's game against Vancouver.  He has 
actually been productive this season when healthy, but don't gamble on him.  
Owens has been injury prone throughout his career and is too risky a player 
to take a chance on.  Use a more durable player instead.     

 Joe Smith , F DET - Free Agent Updated 12/06/00 
 Smith got his first start as a Piston Tuesday at power forward.  He scored 
12 points and grabbed eight rebounds.  With his promotion into the starting 
lineup it is now safe to start Smith on your Fantasy team.  With an increased 
role Smith will be a consistent rebounder and scorer.    

 John Wallace , F DET - Free Agent Updated 12/06/00 
 Wallace was placed on the injured list due to tendonitis in his left knee.  
He is a good offensive player but his shortcomings on defense have limited 
his playing time.  His lack of playing time prevents him from being a 
productive Fantasy player so avoid using him in your league
