NBA Injury Bug... Paul, O'Neal, Pierce and more
The NBA is being hit hard right now with injuries to it's superstar players. The most recent injury involves the New Orleans Hornets stud Chris Paul, who will be out for a minimum of 4 weeks w/ an ankle sprain. This one hurts me personally, since I just traded for him 2 weeks ago to bolster my fantasy team's assist totals.
Injury report:
- Chris Paul (Hornets) - Severe ankle sprain, out at least 4 weeks.
- Paul Pierce (Celtics) - Stress fracture, out 1-2 more weeks.
- Josh Smith (Hawks) - Back surgery, will miss remainder of season.
- Yao Ming (Rockets) - Fractured tibia, out 6-8 weeks.
- Lamar Odom (Lakers) - Sprained knee, out 2-4 weeks.
- Shaquille O'Neal (Heat) - Knee surgery... Riley says late January.
- Nenad Krstic (Nets) - Torn ACL, will miss remainder of season.
- Peja Stojakovic (Hornets) - Back surgery, out indefinitely.
- Chris Bosh (Raptors) - Bruised knee, expected back January 1st.
- Rashard Lewis (Sonics) - Torn tendon in hand, out 2-3 months.
Fantasy owners are scrambling to find replacement players to fill the holes left by these stars. There's enough injuries to affect almost every team, so team owners should all be facing the same situation... that is of course you're like me and you have Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, Peja and Chris Bosh (ok, their split over 2 teams, but jeez).
