-Mike Bibby and Ron Artest each returned for the Kings last night, with both coming off the bench. Beno Udrih actually was effected the most by their returns, only playing 18 minutes in Sacramento’s loss to Toronto. Francisco Garcia and John Salmons each played 29 minutes, combining for only 19 points. There are a lot of rumors about Bibby and Artest being on the traded, but until they are Udrih, Garcia and Salmons aren’t as enticing fantasy plays.
-Starbury says he needs surgery on his injured ankle and it is unsure when the Knicks guard will return. He’s averaging 13.9 ppg and 4.7 apg, but seriously, there’s no need to put up with the drama Marbury has been through this year. Cut your loses and pick up Nate Robinson or some other young point guard, like the Grizzlies’ Mike Conley.
-Speaking of point guard drama, where’s my Jamaal Tinsley story? Oh, right here. The team says Tinsley missed Wednesday’s game because of a sore knee, but teammate Stephen Jackson says it was because of suspension. If you wondered why Tinsley slipped so far in your draft, this is why. His 13.4 ppg, 8.5 apg and almost 2 steals a game are nice, but incidents like this seem to follow Tinsley.
-Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis says the team will not be trading Ocho Cinco. Doesn’t matter to fantasy owners, wherever Johnson is playing next year he will be a number one fantasy receiver.
