"There were two NBA games on Thursday night, but the big topics of conversation were green & yellow uniforms, as well as the health of Andrew Bogut, Eric Gordon and Andrea Bargnani.

The news on all three players is not good and six weeks sounds about right for all three of them, although we're still awaiting the official timetable on Bogut and Bargnani. It sounds like Bogut's ankle is broken, or shall we say fractured, while Bargnani's calf could possibly be torn. And while Gordon's knee doesn't seem to be afflicted with ligament or cartilage damage, something is obviously not right. I hate to say this, but I would strongly consider dropping all three of them in fantasy hoops. We still don't have a definitive timetable on Bargnani, but I expect him to be iffy to return anytime in the next six weeks, and the same can be said for the other two. We're quickly approaching Week 6 and there are only 18 weeks in this year's season. That means we're nearly 1/3 of the way through, and none of the three are expected to see daylight before we hit week 12. Maybe one of them will come back and be a difference maker in the fantasy playoffs, but I'm thinking it's better to cut your losses and get a healthy body in your lineup.

While the news on those three isn't great, there do appear to be options available in many leagues, although savvy owners were picking these guys up overnight on Wednesday. Here are some names I'd consider in the wake of injury-fest 2012."
