Player Notes
March 9, 2010
As expected, Marcus Camby (ankle) will suit up against the Kings tonight, according to the Columbian's Brian Smith.

March 8, 2010
Marcus Camby practiced Monday, and noted that his ankle felt fine, according to the Blazers' official twitter page.

According to Chris Tomasson on Twitter, Marcus Camby won't play in Sunday's game against the Nuggets due to a sprained ankle.

February 24, 2010
Marcus Camby (ankle) will not play on Wednesday night against the Raptors, according to Brian Smith of the Columbian.

X-rays on Marcus Camby's ankle that he hurt on Tuesday night came back negative, according to the Columbian's Brian Smith. "It's pretty sore right now," Camby said of his ankle. "I took an X-ray and it was negative. So I guess we will treat it as day to day."

Our View:Camby's injury is certainly a bummer and looks to have the potential to hold him out of Portland's next game or two. Still, fans in Portland have to feel fortunate that, for once, an injury to a big man hasn't ended up being season ending. Bench Camby for the time being.

Our View:This means that Camby likely won't be available to join the Blazers in game action until Friday. If he is ready to go he will take on the Celtcs and, for fantasy owners, would have a two-start week. If you think you can get enough out of him in two games, feel free to start him.
February 16, 2010
The Clippers' trade of Marcus Camby to the Portland Trail Blazers is official, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Our View:The Clips are getting Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw and $3 million in cash in return. Camby's fantasy value doesn't figure to take a hit in the deal, while Blake's does. Already a marginal play at best, he will now joining a very crowded Clippers back-court.

January 29, 2010
Marcus Camby (ribs) is questionable against the Timberwolves on Friday, according to the L.A. Times.

January 12, 2010
Marcus Camby was forced from Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies in the first quarter due to a stomach virus.

January 4, 2010
Marcus Camby scored nine points and hauled in a game-high 15 rebounds in tonight's 105-95 win over Portland. He also had six assists, three steals and three blocks.
