Andres Nocioni (finger) is not expected back until Saturday at the earliest. |
With Evan Turner actually starting to show some signs of life and Lou Williams demanding plenty of shots, minutes are going to be hard to come by for Nocioni. |

Mon Jan 17 2011 | 12:36 | Nocioni out Monday w/ dislocated finger |
Andres Nocioni will not play on Monday as he recovers from a dislocated finger. |
Nocioni won't be missed as much with Andre Iguodala back from his Achilles injury, and rookie Evan Turner is likely to pick up extra minutes off the bench. |

Fri Jan 14 2011 | 11:30 | Nocioni expects to play Friday |
Andres Nocioni (finger) is expected to play against the Bucks Friday. |
Nocioni has really been struggling with his finger dislocation, but has bravely tried to fight through it. He'll give it a go again tonight, but look for limited minutes. The swingman still isn't 100 percent and Andre Iguodala (Achilles) is back. |

Thu Jan 13 2011 | 10:37 | Nocioni hopes to play Friday |
Andres Nocioni (finger) participated in shooting drills Wednesday and hopes to play Friday against the Bucks. |
With Andre Iguodala (Achilles) back, Nocioni's minutes are going to be severely chopped even when he's 100 percent. Leave him on waivers. |

Wed Jan 12 2011 | 00:38 | Nocioni plays just three minutes vs. Pacers |
Andres Nocioni (finger) lasted just three minutes in Tuesday's game, and he finished with no stats other than a turnover. |
His fantasy run was ending with Andre Iguodala's return, anyway, but if Iggy were to need a day off we're not entirely sure that Nocioni would be able to answer the call right now. Some time off could do him some good. |
Tue Jan 11 2011 | 18:37 | Nocioni will play and come off bench on Tue |
Andres Nocioni (finger) will be available and come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Pacers. |
The hurt finger is on his shooting hand, and with Andre Iguodala (Achilles) back he should be avoided altogether in fantasy leagues. Should Iguodala go down once again, Nocioni proved to be a serviceable replacement in his stead. |

Tue Jan 11 2011 | 10:57 | Nocioni listed as a game-time decision |
Andres Nocioni is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Pacers. |
Nocioni dislocated his right (shooting) middle finger in Friday's win over the Bulls, but played through it in Saturday's loss to the Pistons. We'd expect Nocioni to play again tonight, but his shot may very well be affected. He's best left on fantasy benches. |

Sat Jan 8 2011 | 22:35 | Nocioni (finger) struggles w/ shot |
Andres Nocioni played through a fractured and dislocated finger on Saturday, posting five points, six rebounds, and two assists in nearly 40 minutes. |
Nocioni provided his usual toughness and leadership, but it's no surprise that he struggled offensively. |
Fri Jan 7 2011 | 22:10 | Nocioni breaks finger, scores 11 points |
Andres Nocioni had 11 points, four boards and two assists on Friday, but suffered a fractured and dislocated finger on his right hand. |
This one will be tough for him to continue to play through and his performance will likely struggle. Watch for updates through the weekend. |
Fri Jan 7 2011 | 19:44 | Nocioni suffers finger injury, stays in game |
Andres Nocioni suffered a right finger dislocation/fracture in Friday's game but is playing through it. |
This can't be comfortable to play through, but at least he's trying. And they need him with Andre Iguodala out with his achilles injury. |

Tue Jan 4 2011 | 01:13 | Nocioni scores 13 points in start for Iggy |
Andres Nocioni started for injured Andre Iguodala (Achilles) again on Monday, scoring 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting (including two threes) with seven rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes. |
With Iguodala not expected to do any on-court activity until January 10, Nocioni has proven to be a nice fill-in for the duration. He has stepped up to provide value to owners in a pinch, and tonight's result is a pretty good representation of what he should do. |
Sat Jan 1 2011 | 01:07 | Nocioni plays well again in place of Iguodala |
Andres Nocioni started again in place of Andre Iguodala (achilles) and had 13 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two 3-pointers in a tough loss to the Lakers. |
If you somehow ended up using Noce this week he was nice, but will take a massive fantasy hit when Iguodala returns from his injury, which could be any day now. |
Thu Dec 30 2010 | 01:06 | Nocioni makes most of start for Iguodala |
Andres Nocioni made another start for Andre Iguodala on Wednesday and was much better this time, hitting 7-of-10 shots and a 3-pointer on his way to 22 points and 12 rebounds. |
Iguodala shouldn't be out too much longer, but on nights when we know he's out, Noce looks like a decent add-and-play. |
Sat Dec 4 2010 | 12:55 | Nocioni gets DNP-CD on Friday |
76ers forward Andres Nocioni picked up a DNP-CD on Friday, despite Evan Turner moving to the bench. |
Jodie Meeks started at SG and it appears he will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Nocioni had a sore foot, which may have influenced Doug Collins' decision, but either way he should be unowned in fantasy leagues. |
Tue Nov 23 2010 | 23:54 | Nocioni benched, plays through foot injury |
Andres Nocioni moved back to the bench on Tuesday and played through a foot injury, as well, scoring 11 points on 4-of-8 shooting (3-of-3 from downtown) with one rebound, one assist, and two steals in 28 minutes. |
The minutes look nice but he had to have an awful nice shooting night to get that many points, and didn't do much else besides score. As expected, Andre Iguodala's return sapped most of his value, and he belongs on waivers in most formats. |
Mon Nov 22 2010 | 14:48 | Nocioni day-to-day with foot injury |
Andres Nocioni is listed as day-to-day with a left foot contusion. |
He suffered the injury in practice and it was serious enough that he needed X-rays, which were negative. Think about benching him if you have other options. |

Tue Nov 16 2010 | 23:20 | Noce starts at small forward on Tuesday |
Andres Nocioni started for injured Andre Iguodala (Achilles) on Tuesday, but still managed just 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting (including two threes) with four rebounds, one assists, one steal, and one block in 32 minutes. |
It's not the worst effort, but things won't get better when Iggy gets back. Unless you're in a deeper league, he shouldn't be hitting your radar. |
Tue Nov 16 2010 | 13:36 | Nocioni back in starting five |
Andres Nocioni will start at small forward Tuesday night with Andre Iguodala (Achilles) out. |
We wouldn't get too excited about Nocioni. In six starts this season, he is averaging just 8.3 points and 3.3 rebounds. He'll probably play less minutes than Thaddeus Young and Lou Williams. |

Thu Nov 11 2010 | 18:27 | Nocioni fined $25,000 for throwing mouthpiece |
Andres Nocioni has been fined $25,000 for throwing his mouthpiece into the stands Wednesday night. |
Seems appropriate. We're all for players sharing tossing keepsakes such as sweatbands into the stands, but a slobbery mouthpiece is a whole different category. Meanwhile, as indicated in a previous report, Doug Collins is attempting to limit Nocioni to 20 minutes per game, which will restrict his value to deeper leagues only going forward. |
