Eddy Curry - C ...on 10/06/08 5:00pm / New York Knicks Comments (0)
	Curry practiced for the first time this season Monday after he was sidelined last week because of a bacterial infection. Curry missed the Knicks' entire training camp, leaving his hotel room only for visits to Saratoga Hospital. That cost him valuable time as he tries to grasp new coach Mike D'Antoni's system. Curry said his temperature reached 104 degrees during the week and he needed six IVs during his last trip to the hospital. He still felt groggy Sunday before deciding to take part Monday. He looked tired at the end, resting along the wall with his head in his hand.

Tyson Chandler - C ...on 10/05/08 6:59pm / New Orleans Hornets Comments (0)
	Chandler sprained his right ankle in the first quarter of New Orleans' preseason opener against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night. The injury occurred under the Hornets' basket after Chandler stepped into the lane to help defend a drive by C.J. Watson. Chandler appeared to turn his ankle as he landed and immediately dropped to the floor, lying on his back until trainers helped him to the locker room.

Jerome James - FC ...on 10/04/08 5:34pm / New York Knicks Comments (0)
	James suffered a slight strain in his left quadriceps Saturday, and sat the final 15 minutes of the team's last scrimmage. This is the latest in a series of leg injuries for James, who's played only 87 games over three seasons since signing a five-year, $30 million contract before the 2005-06 season. He totaled five minutes in two games last year while battling foot problems.

Nate Robinson - G ...on 10/04/08 5:30pm / New York Knicks Comments (0)
	Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni isn't ready to determine his rotation, but he liked what he saw from Robinson during New York's first week of practice. "I'm really surprised with him and how good he is," D'Antoni said of the 5-foot-9 guard after the team broke training camp at Skidmore College on Saturday. "He can play a lot of systems, but I do think that the way we want to play an open court, that will benefit him as much or more than anybody. He's just - he is athletic as can be. He's scary athletic, and fast."

Amare Stoudemire - C ...on 10/03/08 4:34pm / Phoenix Suns Comments (0)
	According to the East Valley Tribune, Stoudemire was inadvertently poked in the right eye by a teammate on Wednesday, and suffered a partially torn iris. There is no damage to the retina or the cornea. Stoudemire had swelling and blurred vision that kept him out of Thursday's workout. The Tribune reported that Stoudemire might wear goggles upon his return.

Jamaal Tinsley - PG ...on 10/03/08 3:35pm / Indiana Pacers Comments (0)
	The Pacers declined to comment Friday on a report that Tinsley would be traded to Denver for Steven Hunter and Chucky Atkins. Pacers president Larry Bird downplayed the report, which appeared in Friday's New York Post, saying the team wouldn't comment on "trade rumors" involving any of its players. The Pacers have made no secret of their desire to trade Tinsley, who still has three years and $21 million left on his contract. Tinsley has not been at training camp while the team tries to work out a deal.

Shaun Livingston - PG ...on 10/03/08 2:12pm / Los Angeles Clippers Comments (0)
	Livingston, a free agent point guard, signed with the Heat on Friday. Livingston hasn't played since seriously injuring his left knee 19 months ago. Several other teams showed interest in Livingston this offseason, including Portland, Minnesota and the Los Angeles Clippers, who drafted the 6-foot-7 guard with the fourth overall pick in 2004. Livingston averaged 7.4 points and 4.8 assists in parts of three seasons with the Clippers. He was injured on Feb. 26, 2007, tearing three knee ligaments and dislocating his kneecap.

Joakim Noah - FC ...on 10/03/08 11:59am / Chicago Bulls Comments (0)
	Noah will likely miss five days of training camp after being poked in the left eye during practice Wednesday. The team said on Friday that the injury left Noah with blood in the front chamber of his eye. He'll be monitored daily by the Bulls' medical staff. Noah averaged 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in 74 games as a rookie last season. The Bulls take on Dallas at the United Center on Thursday in their preseason opener.

Eddy Curry - C ...on 10/02/08 8:21pm / New York Knicks Comments (0)
	Curry missed practice again Thursday while recovering from a bacterial infection. Curry hasn't practiced since the team arrived at camp and Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni didn't know when he'd be available. "I think he's just sick. There'd be no other reason because it's not like you want to hang out at the hotel all day," D'Antoni said, adding that it's unlikely Curry will practice before the team leaves town Saturday.

Jared Jeffries - GF ...on 10/02/08 8:20pm / New York Knicks Comments (0)
	Jeffries fractured his left fibula at practice Thursday and is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks. The seventh-year pro pulled up in the backcourt during a scrimmage and was immediately waved off the court by coach Mike D'Antoni. Jeffries' lower leg was wrapped in an ice pack as he sat out the rest of practice until some light shooting at the end. He contributed little during his first two seasons in New York, but was expected to have a larger role under D'Antoni because of his ability to play all three positions in the frontcourt.

Ben Gordon - SG ...on 10/01/08 11:39pm / Chicago Bulls Comments (0)
	Gordon accepted the Bulls' one-year, $6.4 million tender offer just before the deadline Wednesday night. A restricted free agent, Gordon was looking for a long-term deal that never materialized. Chicago's leading scorer the past three years, Gordon can not be traded this season but could leave as an unrestricted free agent next summer. He had few options this time. Gordon led the Bulls averaging 18.6 points last season.

Greg Oden - C ...on 10/01/08 12:08pm / Portland Trail Blazers Comments (0)
	Oden is OK after rolling his right ankle during the first day of training camp. Oden, who missed all of his rookie season because of knee surgery, was injured Tuesday during a drill while pushing fellow center Joel Przybilla for rebounding position. After walking with a slight limp, he finished practice by riding a stationary bike. "He's fine," Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan said Wednesday. "Everybody, he's fine. He's OK."

- ...on 10/01/08 11:42am / San Antonio Spurs Comments (0)
	The Spurs waived Morrison on Wednesday. Morrison, a former UCLA player on the summer league team, was released a day after joining the Spurs' training camp roster. The team opened camp Tuesday.

- ...on 09/30/08 10:53am / Dallas Mavericks Comments (1)
	The Raptors signed Sampson, a cousin of Ralph Sampson who is expected to give Toronto frontcourt depth after the loss of Nathan Jawai. Sampson, a five-year veteran, has played for Charlotte, Denver, the Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee and Sacramento. He has averaged 2.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 72 career games. He was a second-round pick by Utah in 2002. The Raptors announced Monday that Jawai will be held out of practice because of concerns from a routine cardiac screening. The first indigenous player from Australia to be drafted by an NBA team, Jawai was the 41st overall pick in June.

Ben Gordon - SG ...on 09/29/08 9:29pm / Chicago Bulls Comments (0)
	Gordon's contract status remained unsettled and the fifth-year guard and the Chicago Bulls are both hoping for a resolution by midweek. Gordon was on hand for the team's media day Monday, the day before training camp opens, but said he won't practice until after Wednesday's deadline to accept a one-year qualifying offer. According to published reports, Gordon was expected to sign a one-year deal worth $6.4 million by Wednesday, then become an unrestricted free agent following the season. He reportedly rejected a five-year, $50 million deal last summer.

- ...on 09/29/08 9:28pm / Milwaukee Bucks Comments (0)
	Jones won't be joining the Milwaukee Bucks after all. The Bucks, who open training camp Tuesday, said that by mutual decision Jones instead would work out on his own and try to catch on with another NBA team. The Bucks said both parties would explore options to help the 10-year veteran reach that goal.

Tracy McGrady - GF ...on 09/29/08 6:41pm / Houston Rockets Comments (0)
	McGrady says his left shoulder is arthritic and will require surgery after this season. He also said at the team's media day that his left knee is still bothering him after surgery in May. McGrady sprained his shoulder against Sacramento on March 24 and wore padding to protect it for the rest of the season. He had surgery in May to clear loose tissue in his shoulder and knee. He said Monday that his knee is "probably 75-80 percent" healthy and will take another two months to fully heal.

Manu Ginobili - SG ...on 09/29/08 6:38pm / San Antonio Spurs Comments (0)
	Ginobili's offseason ankle surgery will cause him to miss all of November and as many as 25 games, according to the San Antonio Express-News. The injury hobbled Ginobili during the NBA playoffs, particularly during the Western Conference finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was cleared to play for Argentina in the Olympics, but re-aggravated the injury during a game against the United States.

Al Jefferson - FC ...on 09/29/08 5:26pm / Minnesota Timberwolves Comments (0)
	Jefferson says he's "feeling wonderful'' just a couple weeks after spraining his right knee during a workout with teammates. Jefferson was moving around fine during the team's media day on Monday and says he plans to do plenty of running and some light work when the team gathers in Mankato for training camp on Tuesday. But he probably won't be doing any contact drills for another week or two.

- ...on 09/29/08 3:37pm / Boston Celtics Comments (0)
	Cassell is back to help the Boston Celtics try to repeat as NBA champions. The 38-year-old Cassell, who joined the team in March for the playoff run, showed up for media day Monday to sign a contract for his 16th NBA season. Cassell averaged 7.6 points and two assists during the regular season in helping Boston win its NBA-record 17th title.
