    All but Oden are expected back this year. I believe in this order: Fernandez, Batum, Outlaw. Rudy I believe should be back by mid-January, Batum by some time in February perhaps and Outlaw in Feb-March. Anyone have better info than that?

    Rudy 2nd or 3rd week of January
    Batum and Outlaw some time after All Star Break (Hopefully by March)
    Greg will be ready for camp

    Are you selectively a dipass or always a dipass? Why would you take the DOctors word on Rudy, Batum, Outlaw and disregard it on Greg? Ohh yeah that's right you are the biggest trolling tool anywhere on any sight. Do you enjoy the smell of your Colon or do you just need a warmer hat?

    I'm not sure that there is any better info. I think you're correct in order they should be back.

    Outlaw had his surgery mid November and was expected out 3-5 months. So best case scenario mid February?

    Fernandez had his early December and initial repoerts said 4-6 weeks. So mid January perhaps?

    And Batum was also a mid February, but I can't find any info on his procedure. He had it before the start of the regular season, so February may very well be the case.

    Just hoping we can limp into the All-Star break around .500 and regroup with a healthier bunch of guys!

    This is just my opinion, but I don't think you see Travis or Nic back this year. Maybe if we were at the top or battling for home court advantage.

    His post game with Mike B, in the TV broadcast he said something to this affect "I tweaked it a little, but I should be back tomorrow (SA) and I will put some ice on it."
    It doesn't sound like he was going to have an MRI done.

    Nic just said in an interview with some French paper that he was targeting the all star break as his return to practice:
