Nik Vucevic may not get to play even when he is cleared to from his concussion, according to Josh Robbins of Orlando Sentinel: “After some tests, a doctor determined he had sustained a concussion. In Dec. 2011, the league instituted a concussion protocol. Physician Jeffrey Kutcher, an associate professor of neurology at the University of Michigan and the director of the NBA’s concussion program, consults with all teams on the return-to-play schedules of players who have suffered concussions. Coach Jacque Vaughn might decide to not to play Vucevic even after Vucevic receives a medical OK to play again. Vaughn has been cautious in putting players back on the court after injuries. Vucevic wouldn’t speculate on how close he is to playing again. “I don’t know,” he said. “All that is up to the trainer. I just follow what he says.”
Tyson Chandler says he is unable to look up due to his neck injury, from Al Iannazzone of Newsday: “Tyson Chandler thought he was improving enough to where he could play Tuesday night. But the bulging disc in his neck continues to be a problem. Chandler said he can’t “look up,” and he’s feeling sensation down his right side. “It runs down my neck and shoulder,” he said before the Knicks played the Celtics… “I got to play defense, and rebound and look up,” Chandler said. “So that’s kind of my problem area right now. It’s not something that I’m really worried about in the long period. I want to be there with my teammates. I wanted to play this game. But I need a couple of days to let it calm down.”
Lamar Odom went on a story-telling spree when asked if he felt guilty about his poor performance as a Maverick, from Tim MacMahon of ESPN Dallas: “Los Angeles Clippers forward Lamar Odom told ESPNDallas.com on Tuesday he would apologize to Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban if they had a conversation but felt no guilt about the role he played in his premature departure from Dallas last season… Guilty? No, no, no,” Odom said when asked if he felt guilt about the way his season in Dallas unfolded. “It happens. “I was telling one of my friends, right, that you got some people, they meet and they can be married for 40 years and after 40 years they get a divorce. They could have been high school sweethearts. Then you got people that meet one night, have a glass of wine with each other and they talk and then they’re married for 100 years. “This is a relationship-built business. Sometimes people just see things differently.”… “See what someone says, I can’t see what’s in your heart and in your mind or what you’re thinking,” Odom said. “So I can say, ‘F— that garbage can,’ but I love it. And you wouldn’t ever know, because every time I come up to you I say, ‘F— that garbage can,’ you know what I’m saying? “
Mike Woodson hopes his team can end Miami’s winning streak, from Marc Berman of New York Post: “The South Beach showdown is six days away, but Mike Woodson is hoping the Miami Dream Team enters with a 30-game win streak. “They’re playing at such a high level, nobody is coming close to beating them,’’ Woodson said before the Knicks’ 100-85 win over the Celtics last night. “It would be nice. Their streak could end. They’re playing two good teams [beforehand]. [But if] they’re undefeated and we go into Miami, hopefully we can be the team to break their streak.’’ The Heat have won 27 straight and have Chicago tonight, New Orleans Friday and San Antonio on Sunday. If the LeBron James juggernaut keeps winning and beats the Knicks Tuesday in Miami, it would be just two away from tying the Lakers’ 1971-72 magical run of 33 straight wins — the NBA record.”
Kenyon Martin thinks the Celtics missed out by ending negotiations with him, from Jessica Camerato of CSNNE: “The Boston Celtics lost to the New York Knicks on Tuesday night. Kenyon Martin believes the team also lost out on him this season. “It’s their fault,” he said following the Knicks 100-85 win. “They lost. There was talks, there was negotiations, they chose not to do it. It was out of my control. I’m a Knick now, so they lost.”… “I’m just here to prove to people that I’ve never lost it,” he said. “I guess I’m a better person than I am a basketball player. But the chip I’ve always played with hasn’t gotten bigger. I’m here to prove what I can do – that’s everybody, every night. It doesn’t start with the Celtics. Whoever puts that uniform on is opposite us. They’re going to see what they’re missing.”
Joe Johnson is getting better but won’t rush to make a comeback, according to Roderick Boone of Newsday: “Johnson didn’t shoot down the possibility that he may not play again for the rest of the Nets’ trip here on the West Coast, which still has stops in Denver and Utah. “I don’t know, man, to be honest with you,” said Johnson, who sat out the Nets’ 102-100 win over the Suns Sunday after injuring himself in their loss to the Clippers a day earlier in Los Angeles. ” . . . It’s just getting better, but I ain’t in no rush. Obviously, we are in a tight race, but guys are rolling and playing well. So, we’ll see how long we can keep this thing going.”
