|
The Clippers have let general manager Mike Dunleavy go, according to NBA.com.
Rototimes View: This follows Dunleavy's recent dismissal as head coach. During his tenure in Los Angeles, the Clippers were not very good. Of course, that's always the case with the Clips, so it's hard to pin it on Dunleavy. A salty old NBA veteran, don't expect him to be out of work very long. |

|
Rafer Alston, "missing" since last weekend, remains AWOL from the Heat, according to the Associated Press.

|
|

|
Kyle Lowry (ankle) is a "true" game-time decision for Tuesday night, according to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.

|
LeBron James is expected to return to practice on Thursday and suit up Friday against the 76ers, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Rototimes View: James has missed the Cavaliers' past two games, and while he does have a few bumps and bruises, his resting was more a case of allowing him to get re-energized than him really being all that hurt. Expect him to return to putting up his gaudy numbers starting Friday. |
|
|

|
As expected, Marcus Camby (ankle) will suit up against the Kings tonight, according to the Columbian's Brian Smith.
Rototimes View: Camby will start for Portland. While his minutes may be somewhat limited, he'll still be a fine source of rebounds and blocks and be well worth getting back into your lineup. |
|
|

|

|
The Wizards have signed Shaun Livingston to a second 10-day contract, according to the Washington Post's Michael Lee.
Rototimes View: Livingston has had horrible luck with injuries throughout his career, though nobody has ever denied his talent. He's played well off the bench for the Wizards, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Washington sign him for the remainder of the year 10 days from now once his contract expires. |
|
|

|

Danny Granger has been suspended one game by the NBA for his involvement in a fight between the Pacers and Suns on Saturday, according to NBA.com.
Rototimes View: As a result, Granger will miss tonight's game against the 76ers and be back on Friday against Boston. Obviously this is a bit of a bummer for Granger owners, though he's at least been playing at a high level over the past month after struggling with health and somewhat inconsistent play the first few months of the season. Channing Frye was suspended one game as well, while Earl Watson, Roy Hibbert and Jason Richardson were all handed down with fines. |
|
|
| Udrih questionable against Blazers | Tuesday 3/9, 10:33 AM CT |
|
Beno Udrih tweaked his ankle in practice yesterday and is questionable tonight against Portland, according to the Sacramento Bee.
Rototimes View: If Udrih can play, he'll start tonight. If not, and with Omri Casspi iffy as well, Francisco Garcia would be in line for just his second start of the season and make for a decent temporary lineup filler. |
|
|
| Ariza probable for Tuesday night | Tuesday 3/9, 9:15 AM CT |
|
Trevor Ariza (hip) is probable to play against Washington tonight, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Rototimes View: Ariza has missed the past seven games with the ailment. Keep in mind that he won't be asked to do quite as much on offense now that Kevin Martin is in town, though Ariza will still be well worth playing assuming he is in fact active. |
