Dec 13, 2012 NBA Injury Report
DeShawn Stevenson (ATL) – The Hawks rested Stevenson last night, no injury reported. He won’t be playing any back to backs this season if the Hawks can help it.

Malcolm Lee (MIN) – Suffered a hyperextended knee. He’s not much of a fantasy asset and probably the most important thing you can take away from this is that Alexey Shved and JJ Barea could see more minutes.
Josh Howard (MIN) – Out Wednesday with the flu.
J.R. Smith (NYK) – Smith suffered a minor back injury in his last game and is likely a gametime decision tonight.
Royal Ivey (PHI) – Missed Wednesday with strep throat. Not a big deal for fantasy owners with regard to Ivey, but keep an eye and make sure this doesn’t make it’s way through the locker room to other members of the Sixers.
Kyle Lowry (TOR) – Missed Wednesday with a triceps injury and could be sidelined for 10 days. Jose Calderon got the start and makes a great short term waiver wire add.
Andrea Bargnani (TOR) – Torn elbow ligament, out 1-2 months. Tough break for Bargs owners. Ed Davis should move into the starting lineup and is a geat waiver wire pickup.
