Douglas-Roberts tests positive for Swine Flu

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 23:11:23 +0000

Chris Douglas-Roberts has tested positive for the H1N1 virus, aka The Swine Flu. The team put out a release about an hour ago confirming that the second-year forward has contracted the virus. He missed the previous game with flu-like symptoms and has been Twittering about how badly he's felt lately. "Just got the call from Doc, bad bad news. :-(," Douglas-Roberts tweeted earlier today. The release said that Douglas-Roberts has been treated "accordingly" and that the Nets "have followed all precautionary measures as mandated by NBA guidelines." The Nets play the Celtics tonight and then play again on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Oh, by the way, Courtney Lee will miss tonight's game because of a strained groin. That means that seven Nets will be out of action because of injury or illness.

NBA Rookie Rankings Continued: The Top Five

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 06:06:28 +0000

Here are my top five early season rookie rankings, starting at No. 5 with... 5. Tyreke Evans, Sacramento Kings Evans may move up a few spots in the upcoming weeks if Kevin Martin is forced to miss a significant period of time because of a hairline fracture in his left wrist. It will be up to Evans to try and carry the Kings, but he will have to improve upon his 36 percent shooting from the field. *Breaking News: Martin to miss at least eight weeks after choosing to have surgery on his left wrist. 4. Terrence Williams, New Jersey Nets The man who did it all at Louisville may have to do it all in New Jersey, at least for the moment. With both Devin Harris and Yi Jianlian sidelined for an extended period of time, coach Lawrence Frank will need more production from his rookie swingman. Williams didn't respond too well Friday night against the Sixers, scoring just six points on 3-for-10 shooting. He did record nine assists though. 3. Jonny Flynn, Minnesota Timberwolves ...

Injured Nets to hang with the fans

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 20:06:22 +0000

Leave it to the Nets to come up with a plan like this. Already one of the most innovative marketing teams in the league, the Nets have come up with an idea for using the unusually high number of players who are currently injured and unable to play. If they can't dribble and shoot, then they will at least mingle with fans. The team sent out a release a little while ago that says Nets players not in uniform for tomorrow night's home game at the Meadowlands will visit restaurants, lounges and other areas at the IZOD Center to meet and greet fans. And considering the state of the Nets right now, we're not talking about a bunch of scrubs who will be out there pressing the flesh. Devin Harris, Jarvis Hayes, Keyon Dooling, Tony Battie and Yi Jianlian are injured and not expected to play tomorrow against the Celtics. However, Harris is the only player who was named in the release so there is no guarantee that all of those players will be available to fans. The socialization will occur between ...
