He said possible in an interview last night with some reports before the game started that he would most likely be back this  comming weekend. He is suppost to start practing with the team this week. So i would say this weekend or before the all star game.

NEW YORK -- New Orleans Hornets forward Chris Andersen was dismissed and disqualified from the NBA on Friday for violating the league's drug policy.\n\nAndersen must wait two years before he can apply for reinstatement, the league said.\n\nAccording to the league's collective bargaining agreement, a player can only be disqualified for a fourth positive test for performance-enhancing drugs, or a first positive test for "drugs of abuse."\n\nThe drugs on that list are amphetamine and its analogs, which include methamphetamine; cocaine; LSD; opiates, including heroin, codeine and morphine; and PCP.\n\nAndersen has not previously been suspended for steroid use.\n\nAndersen, 27, averaged 5.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 32 games this season, his fifth in the NBA. He played three seasons for the Nuggets before joining the Hornets.\n\nHe has a four-year, $14 million contract with the Hornets through the 2008-09 season that pays him $3.5 million a year.\n\nHornets owner George Shinn said in a statement released by the team, "we were obviously disappointed and saddened to hear that Chris has been dismissed from the league.\n\n"On behalf of his teammates, coaches and the entire organization, we wish him well and hope he learns from this experience," Shinn said.\n\nKnown as "Birdman" for his high-flying dunks, Andersen was a favorite among Hornets fans in Oklahoma City, where the team is playing most of its home games this season.\n\nNeither the NBA nor the union is allowed to comment on specifics of a player's drug test.\n\n"The players' association plans on filing a grievance on Chris Andersen's behalf," union spokesman Dan Wasserman said. "Our expectation is that a grievance hearing will take place in approximately two weeks."\n\nThe hearing will be heard by an independent grievance arbitrator.\n\nAndersen played in 67 games for the Hornets last season, averaging 7.7 points and 6.1 rebounds.\n\nHe is best known for his performance in the NBA's dunk contest last year when he needed eight tries to finish his first dunk.\n\nAndersen is the first player kicked out because of drugs since Stanley Roberts in 1999.\n\nPlayers who test positive for steroids or performance enhancing drugs, masking agents and diurectics get a 10-game suspension (1st offense), a 25-game suspension (2nd offense), a one-year suspension (3rd offense) and disqualification (4th offense).\n\nMarijuana penalties are a $25,000 fine (2nd offense), a five-game suspension (3rd offense), a 10-game suspension (4th offense), and five additional games for each subsequent violation.\n\nMaterial from The Associated Press was used in this report.

March/April??\n\n"Dec. 22 The Houston Chronicle reports that Yao Ming is not even expected to begin training again for 4-6 weeks. He recently underwent surgery to deal with an infection in his toe."

Utah would not pass up Redick if he was still available at their pick.  Most every lottery team would be happy to add him to their roster, but Utah and Portland seem to be likely candidates to draft him.

From rotoworld.com today: "Larry Hughes will visit the doctor who performed his finger surgery, and will have a better idea when he'll be able to return afterwards.\n"We'll see what the doctor says," said Hughes. He was initially expected to miss at least eight weeks. After Damon Jones and Ira Newble faltered, Sasha Pavlovic has been starting at the shooting guard spot the past seven games." So tentatively, still sometime in late March.

Yes.......if their team stays healthy and they maintain depth from their bench. But if a key player like Andrei Kirilenko, Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur, or Deron Williams gets injured, then... no, they won't. \nAlso, a reason why the Jazz didn't end up in the playoffs last year was because Carlos Boozer was injured for a long time during the regular season.

He is currently out of basketball while he recovers from a major operation to remove his colon last October. He plans on making a comeback to basketball after his recovery.

He's coming back to Chicago to play for the Bulls. Or at least, that's my fantasy. The Bulls need a couple of big men and one good perimeter player to compliment Noce and Luol Deng (if he doesn't get traded) and they'll reach the 4th seed.

also heard Feb/Mar --- but pretty much no chance before the all-star break.\n\nhe's on my fantasy team, so i need him for the final stretch. nightmare scenario:  phoenix falls out of play-off contention early, and Amare decides to take it easy this year and not come back until next year.  :-(
