Injury bug ensnares NBA centers

One of the most unpredictable elements of fantasy basketball is injuries. Sure, some players are more likely to get injured than others, but even that can surprise you.

Take, for example, the barrage of recent injuries to NBA centers. We’d expect to see injuries to Shaquille O’Neal or Yao Ming, given their history. But both are playing healthy as ever (even if Shaq does skip some games). However, season-ending injuries to Chris Kaman, Elton Brand, Al Jefferson, Andrew Bogut and the long absences of Carlos Boozer and Andrew Bynum are being felt across the fantasy basketball leagues. And it hurts.

Even Marcus Camby has been relatively healthy. Next thing you know, Andris Biedrens will be out for the season and Dwight Howard will be injured in a freakish 12-foot dunking accident. 

You heard it here first.
