Lakers trade Vujacic

The Lakers now have officially traded long time shooting guard Sasha "The Machine" Vujacic, to save money and keep their exception.
Vujacic was part of a three team deal, that sent him to New Jersey along with a first round pick for Terrence Williams who goes to Houston. Joe Smith will be headed to LA.
Los Angeles has been eager to trade Vujacic for a while now, since he is getting 5.5 million Dollars this season. The trade will give him a lot of minutes in the Nets rotation, since Anthony Morrow just got injured and will be out for 2-4 weeks. And with Williams now in Houston, Vujacic is one of the premier options at the shooting guard position for the Nets.

Injury Report Update 12/03/2010

Martell Webster - Minnesota Timberwolves

After numerous different injuries Martell Webster is finally able to go to full scrimmage again. Last year he had a decent season in Portland and the T´wolves expected him to hurt opponents with his versatile game and three point shooting. Expect him to slowly start of the bench for now.

Joe Johnson - Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks star shooting guard will have to undergo elbow surgery and will miss about 4-6 weeks. A big setback for the Hawks. Look for Crawfor to gain a lot more minutes.

Johnny Flynn - Minnesota Timberwolves

Just like Webster, he finally returned to full contact practice and will make his debut on friday in the D-League. If he passes this test, expect him to return next week to the NBA.

Carlos Boozer - Chicago Bulls

The long expected return of Carlos Boozer might happen this wednesday against the Orlando Magic. He broke his arm during the preseason. He will probably return pretty quick to starting line up minutes.

Kendrick Perkins - Boston Celtics

The Celtics big man still has a lot of work to do but they eye a return in february. He is dealing with recovery from a knee injury he received in the last finals, resulting in major knee surgery.

Reggie Evans out 8 weeks

A huge blow to the Raptors´ rebounding. They lose their best Rebounder and probably one of the top 10 rebounders in the league due to a broken foot.
He started 15 games so far and collected 12.1 rebounds in just 27.3 minutes per game.
Joey Dorsey and Amir Johnson will probably now get more minutes and share those at the Center position.
