Cleveland Antawn Jamison may come off the bench this season
According to Twitter written by Cleveland journalist Mary Schmitt Boyer, Antawn Jamison is likely to come off the bench in Cleveland, meaning J.J. Hickson in charles barkley jersey would start at power forward. It's not official yet, but all indications are that Hickson will start. Round 6 sounds about right for Hickson in portland trail blazers jersey, although you may have to reach into Round 5 to be sure, while Jamison's value is still a bit unknown. He's got a knee injury and will be coming off the bench for the first time in years, although he did win Sixth Man of the Year for Dallas in 2005. We're guessing he shouldn't have too much trouble returning sixth-round value this year, but he's no longer the No. 1 option in Cleveland, despite the absence of LeBron.
The Cavaliers' preseason has been more about who hasn't been available than who has. It's been difficult to gauge just how good or bad the Cavs are since two of their best players, guard Mo Williams and forward/center Anderson Varejao in blazers jerseys, have yet to make an appearance. Two others, veterans Anthony Parker in brandon roy jersey and Antawn Jamison, could miss the rest of the preseason with injuries. Jamison in karl malone jersey, recovering from a sprained left knee, has appeared in four games and has averaged 3.8 points and has shot 19 percent from the field. That's not exactly what the Cavs were expecting out of the two-time All-Star. Parker, who sprained his right middle finger, was a full-time starter for the Cavs last year. He's also been lacking in the preseason, as he's averaged 4.6 points and shot 32 percent from the field. Varejao in kevin martin jersey, who will likely be pressed into action as the starting center, hopes to make his season debut against Philadelphia at 7 p.m. Tuesday. The game will be played at U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati and will be televised by Fox Sports Ohio.
Cavaliers coach Byron Scott in spurs jersey was hoping to decide on a starting lineup by the sixth preseason game, which would be Saturday's home game against CSKA Moscow, after losing forward Antawn Jamison in deron williams jersey and guard Anthony Parker in the Cavs' 106-80 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night before 5,121 fans in Petersen Events Center. Though Jamison in jazz jerseys wasn't looking forward to the two-hour bus ride back to Cleveland after the game, it sounded as if he didn't want to miss any more time than necessary, although the Cavs surely will take a cautious approach. Parker in utah jazz jersey actually hit his right hand on someone's heel early in the game. He shook it repeatedly and tried to play through it. But he had an X-ray at halftime and did not return. Manny Harris in john stockton jersey started the third quarter for Parker and played the entire second half, finishing with 11 points -- the third straight game he has hit double digits. The injuries overshadowed a strong performance, even if it did come against what likely will be most of the Spurs bench during the regular season. After playing in Mexico City earlier this week, San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich in san antonio spurs jersey sent Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Richard Jefferson home to rest.
