Knee - Doubtful for start of 2012-13 (Updated - 5/10/12)
Fantasy Analysis
This is a huge blow for Davis as he suffered tremendous damage to his right knee. While his official timetable is somewhere around a year, you have to wonder if this could be the end for the 33-year-old. Davis is no stranger to recovering from injuries, but he will likely be facing the steepest uphill climb in his career. Fantasy owners should continue to monitor the situation moving forward as more details become available. However, it sounds like Davis will be out until at least next spring. (Updated 05/07/2012).

NBA commissioner David Stern said Tuesday he would "certainly look at" making a shortened regular season beginning Christmas Day a permanent fixture, while acknowledging the financial limitations of the idea.
Veteran G Baron Davis enters the 2011-12 campaign surrounded by uncertainty. Despite the possibility of Davis missing a huge chunk of the season because of a back injury, he signed with New York after being released by Cleveland and could start for the Knicks once he returns. Davis embraced the chance for a fresh start with the Cavaliers last season and averaged 13.9 points and 6.1 assists following a trade from the Clippers. But Davis missed time due to his nagging left knee and back spasms. The 32-year-old might not return to the court until late January with the current setback. Fantasy owners should be wary of selecting him in 2011-12 drafts and target him only in the later rounds of most leagues. (Updated 12/19/11)
