Thomas returns from concussion: Trail Blazers center Kurt Thomas made his return to the floor Monday against the Hornets after suffering a concussion last week. Thomas was back in his usual role as the backup center, scoring four points on 2 of 4 shooting in 11 minutes, while grabbing two rebounds and dishing out two assists in the 86-74 win over New Orleans.

Fantasy Analysis
Thomas did not seem affected by the injury, and now should be fine moving forward, especially since the Blazers recently signed Joel Przybilla, making them rely less on Thomas and starter Marcus Camby. Thomas is averaging just 3.3 points and 3.6 rebounds per game right now, so he has very little Fantasy value in any formats at this time. (Updated 03/06/2012).
03/01/2012 23:37 Hill, Nash lead Suns past Wolves
Grant Hill scored 15 of his season-high 20 points in the second half and the Phoenix Suns pulled away to beat the weary Minnesota Timberwolves 104-95 on Thursday night.
Thomas had a resurgent year, of sorts, in his first season in Chicago in 2010-11. He wasn't expected to play much but with Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah going down with injuries at different times, he became a valuable big-man off the bench for the Bulls. He played in 52 games, averaging 4.1 points with 5.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks. The veteran proved that he could still play some solid defense and even shot 51.1 percent from the field, matching his career high. But with Omer Asik expected to become a larger part of the system in 2011-12, it looks as though the 38-year-old could see himself on the bench more often this season. Thomas hasn't been a reliable Fantasy option for years now and would only be worth using in deeper category-based formats if he sees playing time. Plan on ignoring him in all formats on Draft Day.
