David Lee - Knicks fans are worried and so should fantasy owners. We blame the Knicks for this one. Lee has been trying to practice off and on ever since the injury. And although we understand why the Knicks would want Lee on the court as soon as possible, the best way to get him healthy was to straight rest him. Lee having to leave practice half way through because of pain to us means that he shouldn’t have been practicing in the first place. We have a feeling that it’s going to be a minute until we see Lee back in an injury and even when we do, it might not be the rebounding machine we’re used to.
Brevin Knight - We’ve though Brevin was back. He put up nice assist numbers in just 20 minutes the other night. Now it looks like he’ll once again miss some time with a flare up of his ab injury.
Joe Johnson - Do not cut him. We’ve got a number of emails about whether or not he should be cut and the answer is no. He’s 3-4 weeks at the worst and we’d guess he makes it back before than. This isn’t an injury that the Hawks are going to shut him down with unless there is a serious setback.
Earl Watson - Luke Ridnour is out for this weekend and possibly next week. Watson’s been pretty nice in his place. We like him as a short term pick up (possibly for Joe Johnson owners?).

I have Wade AND Joe J! I don’t know what to do. Im only a few games out of first place so I have them both on the bench, should I be dropping one at least? Wade’s injury seems more serious, but Atlanta’s not going anywhere this year, so why should Joe come back? Hmmm… I’m lost.

Tough situation. I think you have to hold onto to both and hope one come backs very soon.
