Larry Sanders said he reached out to Monta Ellis but hasn't heard back.
Sanders and Ellis had a run-in in the locker room after Game 3 of the Bucks' opening-round loss to the Heat. Sanders said Wednesday it wasn't a big deal and was just a matter of "personalities clashing," but it's pretty telling to us that Ellis hasn't returned Sanders' call. Ellis is expected to opt out of the final year of his contract and become a free agent. Sanders said he would welcome Ellis back, but it's possible Ellis might choose to sign elsewhere regardless.

New Bucks coach Larry Drew hinted at excitement over Larry Sanders at his introductory news conference.
"The big guys are going to be a big part of the future," Drew said. "You can't teach height, you can't teach length." At 6'11/235 Sanders grabbed the Bucks' starting center job last season and ran with it. He averaged 9.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks despite playing just 27.2 minutes per night. Expect something closer to 32 minutes nightly under Drew.

Larry Sanders is expected to receive an invitation to USA Basketball Select team camp during the summer.
"Just found out I got selected to work out/try out for the USA Basketball Team this summer!" Sanders tweeted. "Such an amazing honor. Glory be to God." It's quite impressive for a guy who was in summer league last season attempting to prove his worth, but his impressive 2012/13 season put him on the national map. Per the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, an official roster is expected to be announced in early June.

Larry Sanders and Monta Ellis reportedly "nearly came to blows in the locker room after Game 3" of the Bucks playoff series against Miami, sources told CBS Sports.
It's awfully strange that this report would just come out now, so we're taking it with a grain of salt. The players had to be "separated," but the fight wasn't serious enough to prompt disciplinary action for either player. If that's the case, it sounds like this is being terribly overblown. Ellis reportedly "took umbrage" with Sanders saying the team needs to focus on the present and not next season, but it's a moot point with the Bucks watching from home.

Larry Sanders (ankle) is fully expected to play in Thursday's Game 3 vs. Miami.
"It's a little sore but as I move around it gets loose, so that's good," he said. "I think it will be feeling better." We don't expect Sanders to miss any time due to the injury, but it's another reminder that he's not at full strength right now.

Larry Sanders (ankle) says he'll be good to go in time for Thursday's Game 3 against the Heat.
Sanders "tweaked" his ankle during Tuesday's Game 2 loss but downplayed the severity after the game. Sanders said Wednesday he's "too excited" to even think about missing Game 3 back in Milwaukee. We expect him to be just fine in time for Thursday night.

Larry Sanders was diagnosed with an ankle "tweak" after Tuesday's Game 2 loss.
It sounds like Sanders avoided a sprain and should be just fine for Game 3 in Milwaukee. Sanders said "I'll get better" when asked about his ankle, so we don't expect it to be an issue that lingers.

Larry Sanders suffered an ankle sprain in the fourth quarter and didn't leave the game on Tuesday, finishing with 14 points, six boards two assists and one block in 28 minutes.
He collided with Shane Battier and was limping a little, but Sanders said after the game that he is fine and just a little sore. Sanders had five fouls in both games against Miami, which has been an improved area for him with only 2.7 fouls per game after the All-Star break. He should be ready to go for Thursday.

Larry Sanders played through his back injury in Sunday's Game 1 loss, but had just six points, five rebounds, one steal and no blocks.
John Henson came off the bench for six points and five rebounds, but like his teammate, didn't record a single blocked shot. The Bucks were second in the NBA in blocked shots this season at 6.7 per game, but didn't record a single one of them tonight. The Heat won 110-87 and it looks like the Bucks are going to be hard pressed to win a single game, let alone the entire series.

Larry Sanders (back) will play in Sunday's Game 1 against the Heat.
Sanders' back isn't 100 percent yet, but he's good enough to fight through it. If the Bucks have any shot of taking a game or two off the Heat, they'll have to dominate the interior. It's a tall task for the defensive-minded Sanders.

Larry Sanders (back) said he'll be good to go for the postseason.
There was some concern about Sanders' back after he missed the Bucks' last four games. While the rest might've been somewhat precautionary, it stands to reason he'll be somewhat limited in the playoffs. Sanders had a breakout year, averaging 9.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in just 27 minutes per game. While Sanders could have success against the Heat in the first round, owners drafting fantasy playoff teams should keep in mind how short the series will likely be.

Larry Sanders (back) will not play against the Thunder on Wednesday night.
Sanders was considered questionable, but the Bucks are safely situated as the East's eight seed so it makes no sense to push Sanders in the regular-season finale. Hopefully a night off Wednesday means Sanders will be ready for Game 1 of the postseason. John Henson is a solid option for owners looking for a spot starter on the final night of the season.

Larry Sanders (back) is questionable to play on Wednesday against the Thunder.
Bucks announcer Ted Davis tweeted that Sanders "might" play, but it would still be a surprise given the Bucks are locked into the No. 8 seed and Milwaukee can't afford Sanders to have a lengthy absence. John Henson remains a prime option for fantasy owners looking for a final push on the final day of the regular season.

Larry Sanders traveled to Chicago Tuesday to get a second opinion on his back injury.
Sanders has been bothered by his back since early February and he's going through a flare-up right now. He's scheduled to rejoin the team in Oklahoma City on Wednesday, but we'd be absolutely shocked if he suited up for that one as the Bucks are locked into the East's No. 8 seed. That means impressive rookie John Henson, who has averaged 11.7 points, 14.7 rebounds and 3.5 blocks over the last four games, will draw another start. Sanders' status for the first-round playoff series against the Heat is unclear.

Larry Sanders' back injury is in the same area that was affected last time he fell and hurt his back, and it sounds like his regular season is over.
In other words, Sanders may have aggravated the previously existing issue. He sat out a third straight game on Monday and there is currently no timetable for his return, but with the Bucks locked into the No. 8 seed, it would be surprising to see him return for the final game of the regular season. "It's bothering him, so we've got our fingers crossed by the time we finisht he game in OKC and come back, we're hoping we can have him for practice," Jim Boylan said. John Henson will continue to see his fantasy stock soar for the final game of the season.

Larry Sanders (back) will not play against the Nuggets on Monday.
The Bucks are being careful with their defensive linchpin and he might be done for the season. Sanders has been a bit of different player since the All-Star break, ranking sixth in blocks per game. On the other hand, he's shockingly just 49th in fouls per game in that span. John Henson will start and should be a solid play against the up-tempo Nuggets

The Bucks will be cautious with Larry Sanders (back), and he's doubtful to play Monday vs. Denver.
Sanders has missed two straight games and was ruled out just before game-time on Saturday, and it's looking likely he'll be out on Monday as well. If he sits, John Henson should continue to fill in as the starter and has sky-high fantasy upside.

Larry Sanders (back) was ruled out just before game-time on Saturday.
Sanders was listed as doubtful, which shifted our attention to flavor-of-the-week John Henson, but the Bucks didn't officially announce their starting lineup until moments before tip-off. In a best-case scenario, Sanders will play in two more regular season games (Monday and Wednesday) to gear up for the playoffs.

Larry Sanders (back) and Brandon Jennings (Achilles) have both been ruled out of Friday's game vs. the Hawks.
It's a giant blow to owners who have been relying on Sanders, but hopefully those same owners picked up John Henson from the waiver wire as he's expected to get the start on Friday in place of Sanders. Henson went off for 17 points, 25 boards and seven blocks while filling in for Sanders on Wednesday and is a strong play for owners in need of a big man. It's not clear how bad Jennings' Achilles really is, but we'd expect Monta Ellis and J.J. Redick to soak up a ton of minutes without him on Friday.

Larry Sanders (back) is questionable to play vs. the Hawks on Friday.
Sanders' status will likely be determined after shootaround. If he can't play, John Henson, who had 17 points, 25 boards and seven blocks on Wednesday, would be a good bet to see major minutes again.

Larry Sanders will not play in the second half for the Bucks after taking a hard fall on his lower back on Wednesday.
He stayed in the game to shoot free throws and then returned for a brief stint later, but will not be able to finish the game. John Henson is absolutely going off in the absence of Ersan Ilyasova (illness) tonight, and will also see a big boost if Sanders is going to miss more games with this injury. Pick him up if you have room. Sanders finished with five points and no blocks in 15 minutes before exiting for good.

Larry Sanders took a hard fall and appeared to injury his back in the first quarter of Wednesday's game and went to the locker room.
He shot the free throws after the foul, but the Bucks fouled immediately in order to get Sanders off the floor. He had back issues in February and hopefully he'll be able to return. Samuel Dalembert makes a lot of sense as a speculative add in deeper leagues. Stay tuned.

Jim Boylan credited Larry Sanders' breakout season to the big man finding his game.
I just think he's found his game in the NBA," Boylan said. "He's a factor around the basket with his shot blocking. He's a great runner. He's figured out that running the floor is going to get him some easy baskets and it has, and getting to the rim with his length and athleticism." Sanders said that he's felt "something had really clicked," and he's enjoying (easily) his best season in the league. He's averaging 10.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.8 blocks on 51.1 percent shooting over 50 starts at center.

Larry Sanders blocked six shots in Saturday's win over the Raptors to go with 12 points, nine boards, one steal and three fouls in 27 minutes.
His blocks have taken a nosedive over his past 10, averaging just 1.6 per game. Sanders relinquished his lead in blocks per game to Serge Ibaka in that span, but his offense has really improved. He raised his average to 2.89 blocks per night with this game, which is still behind Serge's 3.04.

Larry Sanders scored a career-high 24 points in Monday's win over the Bobcats, adding 13 boards and two assists on 11-of-19 shooting.
It's the best matchup for big men and the Bobcats give up big lines to frontcourt guys like nobody's business. Sanders also only committed one foul, but didn't have a block for the second game in a row. Since the All-Star break, his minutes, scoring and rebounding are up while his fouls and blocks are down, so he's playing with a little more control these days. He's still a beast.

Larry Sanders scored a career-high 21 points to go with 13 boards, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 30 minutes during a 113-103 win over the Lakers on Thursday.
He was a beast on both ends of the floor. While his two blocks was below his NBA-leading 3.0 per game, Sanders did a phenomenal job protecting the rim and altering shots near the hoop. He has been let loose since the All-Star break, averaging 31.4 minutes per game, which is up from 25.4 from the first half. He's one of the biggest pleasant surprises this year.

Larry Sanders (undisclosed) will start Wednesday night against the 76ers.
Sanders has been dealing with routine soreness, but his status for tonight's game was never really in doubt. Sanders is coming off a strong 15-point, 12-rebound, three-block performance Sunday and should be a mainstay in all lineups right now.

Larry Sanders had a double-double with 15 points and 12 boards to go with three blocks on 7-of-10 shooting in 32 minutes.
He was ejected on Friday with a couple techs and he bounced back nicely in the loss today. Sanders has been phenomenal all year and leads the league in blocks and looks to be a mainstay in the fantasy landscape for years to come.

Larry Sanders was ejected in the third quarter of Friday's game for two technical fouls.
He leads the NBA in ejections with five and no other player in the league has more than three. What's more, Sanders is also third in the league in fouls per game, so he'd be even more of a beast if the NBA decided to give the refs some time off. Sanders finished with six points, 12 boards and two blocks against the Pacers. He should be ready for the

Larry Sanders tied a season high with 19 points and added 14 rebounds and four blocks in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.
The Show's dream season continues and it's unfortunate he can't face the Hawks every night, as 10 of his rebounds came in the first quarter. Not even the addition of Samuel Dalembert to the starting five can slow him down.

Larry Sanders was ejected from Friday's game against the Heat with two technical fouls.
He received his second tech with three minutes left in the game and finished with six points, 10 boards, one assist, one steal and one block in 28 minutes. He'll be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Magic.

Larry Sanders double-doubled in 30 minutes against the Mavericks with 13 points and 12 boards, adding two assists, one steal and four blocks on Tuesday.
He is dealing with a minor knee issue and didn't seem to be bothered by it at all. Sanders was moving well with and without the ball and even had a nice baseline jam in the fourth quarter. He should be in all lineups and is in the running for pickup of the year.

Updating a previous item, Larry Sanders (knee) is expected to play on Tuesday.
Sanders should be immediately inserted back into the starting lineup and owners will want to be sure he's active after missing one game. The knee injury clearly wasn't serious, and his return sends Sam Dalembert back to the bench.

Larry Sanders (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
Sanders' knee injury wasn't deemed serious, but the Bucks play back-to-back games against Dallas on Tuesday and the Wizards on Wednesday, so it's possible he'll miss Tuesday's game. If that happens, Samuel Dalembert is expected to start in his place and has averaged 7.9 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in that role.

Jim Boylan said that Larry Sanders' knee injury is not "anything too serious."
Sanders' availability remains a question mark for the Bucks upcoming back-to-back set, but it's good news that the knee is not a serious concern. "He's having a little bit of pain," Boylan said. For however long Sanders is sidelined, Samuel Dalembert will step into the starting lineup. Dalembert is averaging 7.9 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks as a starter this year.

Larry Sanders was a surprise scratch on Sunday due to a hyperextended left knee.
Sanders apparently hurt himself on Saturday, and this throws his status into doubt for back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday. Samuel Dalembert got the start at center vs. the Kings, and will continue to play heavy minutes until Sanders returns.

Larry Sanders had 11 points and seven rebounds in 30 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Clippers, but didn't block a single shot.
This was The Show's first game without a block since Nov. 26, and this marks just the second time all season that he's played and not had at least one block, meaning he's having a dream season.

Larry Sanders blocked six shots in Monday's 109-108 win over the Jazz, adding eight points, 16 boards, three assists and one steal in 40 minutes.
He's going to have a lot of his plate now with the Bucks going with more of a three- guard lineup. Sanders has played 34.6 minutes per game in his five contests since the J.J. Redick trade and things are looking mighty fine for the league's leader in blocks. He's locked and loaded as a must-start player.

Larry Sanders double-doubled with 13 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks against the Raptors on Saturday.
He made 6-of-8 field goals and sank his only free throw, even dishing out two assists for good measure. On a historical footnote, Sanders has now blocked at least one shot in 39 consecutive games, tying Andrew Bogut for the longest Bucks' streak in at least 25 years.

Larry Sanders logged a double-double against the Mavericks on Tuesday with 13 points and 13 boards to go with one steal and one block in 26 minutes.
He only committed three fouls and wasn't quite as aggressive on the defensive end. Sanders had just two fouls and just one block in 37 minutes on Saturday, so he might have been coached up to not try to block everything with Samuel Dalembert on thin ice. Regardless, the Larry Sanders Show is getting rave reviews this year and he should be starting in all formats.

Larry Sanders scored 12 points and grabbed 19 rebounds in the Bucks' heartbreaking loss to the visiting Hawks on Saturday.
Sanders blocked one shot all night, which knocked him down to 4.6 blocks in his past five games. Seriously. He played 37 minutes and fell one rebound shy of his season high, and his back injury is quickly becoming a memory.

Larry Sanders played 29 minutes against the Nets on Wednesday, scoring 12 points with 13 boards, three assists and five blocks.
This should just about put to bed any concern about Larry losing some of his playing time to Samuel Dalembert (three points in eight minutes) or to keep him fresh due to back concerns. The NBA's leader in blocked shots has 11 in his two games since the All-Star break and his owners should start him with confidence.

Larry Sanders (back) will start Tuesday's game against the Nets.
The soreness in Sanders' lower back has subsided enough to allow him to play. As the NBA's leading shot-blocker, he needs to be back in all fantasy lineups. Meanwhile, a previously red-hot Samuel Dalembert returns to the bench and will be a shaky option for owners. We can't expect more than 20-23 minutes as Sanders' strict backup.

Coach Jim Boylan is "optimistic" that Larry Sanders (back) will be able to play on Tuesday despite not going through shootaround.
Sanders was still experiencing soreness on Tuesday morning, so after saying he was a 70-30 chance to play on Monday, it appears that is still about right. Sanders will be a game-time decision, but Boylan's optimism bodes well for Sanders. If Sanders is able to return, Samuel Dalembert will head back to the bench.

Larry Sanders (back) practiced on Monday and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Tests have cleared Sanders of any structural damage, but he's still bothered by the severe bruise he suffered nearly two weeks ago. The Bucks play three times this week, beginning with back-to-back games vs. the Nets, and owners will have to hope for an update on Tuesday afternoon before locking in weekly lineups.

Beat writer Gery Woelfel suggests Larry Sanders (back) may not be ready to play immediately following the All-Star break.
Sanders has had two sets of tests on his lower back, both of which have come back negative. He's listed as day-to-day, but Woelfel says that the NBA's leading shot-blocker is still "so sore" that his status for Tuesday's game against the Nets is in doubt. Sam Dalembert is a hold until we see Sanders get back on the court and sustain health.

A league source tells Ken Berger of CBS Sports that a second round of tests on Larry Sanders' back came back negative.
Sanders remains day-to-day and there appears to be no timeline for his return. The Bucks are expected to re-evaluate his status after the All-Star break, so it'll be a few days before we know anything definitive. As long as Sanders remains sidelined, Samuel Dalembert should be owned in all leagues.

There is no timetable for Larry Sanders (back) to return, according to Jim Boylan.
Sanders is expected to be reassessed following the All-Star break, but there is no timetable for his return as the club waits for final test results from Sanders' second opinion. In the interim, Samuel Dalembert should be owned in all leagues as he put up another double-double in Sanders' place on Wednesday and is locked into a major role while Sanders is sidelined.

Larry Sanders (back) will not play on Wednesday, and Samuel Dalembert is expected to start in his place.
Sanders never had a very good shot of playing on Wednesday and we warned owners that he could sit out through the All-Star break. Dalembert will get the call again on Wednesday against the Sixers and should be a solid spot-start against an undermanned Philadelphia frontline.

Larry Sanders went to Chicago to get a second opinion on what has been called a deeply bruised back, and coach Jim Boylan sounded like a guy who will be starting Samuel Dalembert in Wednesday's game against the Sixers.
"There's no magic formula to it," Boylan said about dealing with injuries. "Sam will continue to be the starter and Ekpe will play behind him." This comes in a Wednesday morning piece about tonight's game, and neither the writer of the report nor the coach seem to be planning for Sanders to come back tonight. The larger issue is whether or not the injury is serious, as the second opinion has been called "precautionary," and the timing of the All Star break won't add any clarity. Owners shouldn't panic, but stay on your toes.

Larry Sanders is seeking a second opinion on his back injury as a "precautionary move."
Sanders and the Bucks are hoping to verify that Sanders' back injury is not more serious than they've diagnosed it to date. He missed Monday's game with the injury, and the Bucks could choose to sit Sanders out through the All-Star break, though a determination on his status for Wednesday's game has not yet been made.

Larry Sanders has been ruled out for Monday's game with his lingering back injury.

Larry Sanders (back) went through part of the Bucks light practice on Sunday, but he remains uncertain to play on Monday against the Wizards.
Sanders did not play against the Pistons on Saturday, and the Bucks will wisely take a cautious approach until he's ready to return. Coach Jim Boylan said Sanders could return prior to the All-Star break, so owners have to bide their time through his short-term absence and be thankful Sanders isn't out for an extended period. While the Larry Sanders show sits, Samuel Dalembert will continue to start in his place.

Larry Sanders (bruised lower back) will not play vs. the Pistons on Saturday.
This makes two straight DNPs for Sanders, but he was a game-time decision tonight so there's a good chance he'll be ready for Monday's home game. His absence means plenty of playing time for Samuel Dalembert, who will get another start at center.

Larry Sanders (hip, back) only participated in the non-contact portion of Friday's practice.

Larry Sanders (back) was able to practice on Friday, but he remains questionable to play on Saturday.
Sanders' participation in practice just days after what appeared to be a really nasty fall is undoubtedly a positive sign, but it's still not certain that he'll play against the Pistons. If he sits out another game, expect Samuel Dalembert to get another start and be of service to owners in need of rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage.

Larry Sanders (back) is hoping to return "within a few days."
The Bucks don't play until Saturday and have just three games remaining before the All-Star break, so Sanders' availability will be updated throughout that stretch. For as long as Sanders remains sidelined, Samuel Dalembert will be a nice plug-n-play for those who need rebounds and blocks.

Larry Sanders was diagnosed with a lower back contusion and he will not play against the Jazz on Wednesday.
He took a bad fall in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets as Kenneth Faried went right at him. X-rays were negative and he's with the team so there's a good chance he'll be back in the lineup on Friday vs. Detroit. Samuel Dalembert is coming off the best game of his career and is a nice spot-start tonight.

A person with knowledge of the situation tells USA Today's Sam Amick that Larry Sanders' injury is "very minor."
Sanders is questionable to play Wednesday after X-rays on his hip were negative. According to Amick, there were initial concerns Sanders fractured his back after taking a scary fall Tuesday night. We're dubious about Sanders' ability to play Wednesday, but owners should be happy he didn't suffer a more serious injury.

Initial X-rays on Larry Sanders' hip were negative on Tuesday, and although he'll travel with the team to Utah for the game on Wednesday, he's expected to undergo further evaluation.
Sanders will "undergo additional evaluations" on Wednesday, leaving his status for the game against the Jazz very much up in the air. "It's pretty painful," he said. "I'll just get a couple more X-rays and take care of it so I can get back as fast as I can." It doesn't sound like Sanders has a good chance to play Wednesday, meaning Samuel Dalembert, who had 35 points, 12 boards and a block on Tuesday, would once again get the call.

Larry Sanders took a hard fall in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game in Denver and went to the locker room.
He tried to block an attacking Kenneth Faried and he landed hard on his back. Sanders appeared to be holding his back and he needed to assistance to walk back to the locker room. The Bucks take on the Jazz on Wednesday and things aren't exactly looking up for Sanders to be active in that game. Samuel Dalembert absolutely went off on Tuesday and is worth a look in standard leagues. Sanders finished with 12 points, seven boards and five blocks against the Nuggets.

Larry Sanders (flu) looked great on Saturday, scoring 17 points with 13 rebounds, two assists, one steal and six blocks in 35 minutes of action.
He blocked three shots and grabbed eight boards in the first quarter alone, and his flu-induced lull is officially over. On a per-36-minute basis, Sanders is averaging 11.7 points, 12.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 4.3 blocks this season, though foul trouble often keeps him from reaching those lofty numbers.

Larry Sanders scored just two points in his return from an illness on Friday with 10 boards and two blocks in 30 minutes.
He did go up against the reigning Defensive Player of the Year in Tyson Chandler and shot 0-of-6 from the field. Sanders will be just fine and it's nice to see him get 30 minutes. Keep him in your lineups.

Larry Sanders (illness) will play and start Friday.
Sanders ends up missing just one game due to a flu bug. The NBA's leading shot blocker should be back in all lineups despite a tough matchup with Tyson Chandler.

Larry Sanders (illness) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Sanders traveled with the team to New York and will almost certainly start. He currently leads the NBA with 3.1 blocks per game. Samuel Dalembert can be dropped across the board.

Larry Sanders is sick and won't play Wednesday night against the Bulls.
Sanders is coming off a three-point, three-rebound performance Tuesday that saw him get in foul trouble early on. Owners in daily leagues will want to get him out of the lineup for tonight's game. He'll be replaced in the starting lineup by Samuel Dalembert.

Larry Sanders had just three points, three rebounds and a block in 16 minutes on Tuesday due to early foul trouble.
He picked up his fourth foul with 3:20 left in the third (when the Pistons were getting their doors blown off) and is second in the league in fouls per game this season. The game was out of reach and the Bucks rolled with John Henson to end the night, so look for Sanders to bounce back.

Larry Sanders had 16 points, 11 rebounds and three more blocks on 7-of-9 shooting in Saturday's win over the Warriors.
How fun is this guy to own? He just keeps cruising along and didn't even hit a speed bump when the coaching change went down in Milwaukee. We're past the halfway mark of the season and owners should just strap on the seat belt and prepare to ride the Show for the rest of the season.

Larry Sanders was ejected from Saturday's game after arguing a non-call and picking up two quick technicals.
He left with eight points, five rebounds and his usual three blocks, so it wasn't a total loss. The good news is that he didn't do anything that warrants further punishment, so he'll be ready to face the 76ers on Tuesday.

Larry Sanders scored a season-high 19 points to go with 15 boards, one assist and two blocks in 30 minutes against the Suns on Thursday.
It was all about his production on offense in the win, shooting 8-of-14 from the field and converting all three free throws while registering his two blocks in the last minute. Sanders is leading the NBA in blocks in just 24.9 minutes per game, which is very impressive. Over the last 13 seasons, the blocks per game leader played an average of 33.7 minutes. Larry's is the favorite for pickup of the year in fantasy leagues.

Larry Sanders ignored the fact he was facing Dwight Howard, and overcame just 24 minutes of playing time for six points, 11 rebounds, a steal and three more blocks on Tuesday.
Sanders' shot blocking continues to amaze and he's a must-start in fantasy leagues, even when he's facing a beast like Howard.

Larry Sanders blocked two shots against the Raptors on Sunday, adding 11 points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes.
He had four fouls in the game and played with his usual aggression on the defensive end. Sanders leads the league in blocks and he's getting better in his low-post game. He should be in all lineups.

Larry Sanders had three points, five rebounds and three blocks on Friday, playing just 19 minutes in a 16-point loss to the visiting Pistons.
Sanders suggested that fatigue played a role, before adding, "[they] kind of wanted it more than us." He had a ridiculous 13 blocks in his previous two games and his role hasn't changed perceptibly under coach Jim Boylan, so he belongs in all active lineups.

Jim Boylan has been "stunned" by Larry Sanders' development.
"His progress has just been amazing," Boylan said. "It's just a monumental leap." Sanders is posting career-high marks in every category across the board and is averaging 8.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 3.5 blocks on 57.6 percent shooting as the starting center and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Larry Sanders had six points, eight rebounds, a steal and seven more blocks in 31 minutes of Wednesday's win over the Bulls.
Sanders is simply a blast to own this season and his energy is contagious. The 31 minutes are a great sign of things to come and he's averaging 7.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 5.0 blocks over his last four games. Hey now! Sanders looks like he might finish the season as the waiver-wire pickup of the year.

Larry Sanders played 26 minutes in another start on Tuesday, finishing with 10 points, eight rebounds, three steals and six more blocks under new coach Jim Boylan.
If you were worried about the Show's minutes coming into this one, it looks like he's going to be just fine. He also is one of the more entertaining players to watch, shading his eyes to watch blocked shots sail into the stands, and celebrating just as hard when his teammates block them. He's on another tear, averaging 8.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.5 blocks over his last four games, and played great under new coach Jim Boylan tonight.

Larry Sanders posted his eighth double-double of the season with 12 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks vs. the Pacers.
Sanders was averaging just 4.6 points and 5.3 rebounds in his previous three games, and we're encouraged by his ability to avoid fouls tonight (two fouls in 28 minutes). He struggled to check Roy Hibbert's physicality, however, and the Bucks' 37.8 percent shooting doomed them to their fourth straight loss.

Larry Sanders battled foul trouble on Friday and finished with four points, four boards, one assist, one steal and four blocks in 18 minutes against the Rockets.
He was still able to block four shots in 18 minutes, which is pretty impressive. Despite Friday's showing, Sanders has improved on hacking guys. His fouls per 48 minutes dropped to 5.8 in December from 9.3 in November. His ugly scoring of 14 points combined in his last three games may have created a prime buy-low opportunity.

Larry Sanders had six points, nine rebounds and four more blocks in 23 minutes on Wednesday.
The Show's having a breakout season and has managed to stay very relevant despite playing for Scott Skiles, averaging eight points, 9.4 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 3.0 blocks over his last five games. Keep rolling him out there until further notice, despite the fact he's scored six or fewer points in three of his last five.
