Mike Bibby did not play Wednesday night due to a sore foot. |
Bibby could rejoin the rotation on Friday, but he's really going to struggle for minutes. He's 33, one of the slowest point guards in the league and is dealing with back/foot woes. |

Tue Dec 27 2011 | 07:56 | Mike Bibby to play in Tuesday game for Knicks |
Mike Bibby is expected to play on Tuesday. |
Bibby has been sidelined with back spasms. Mike D'Antoni said Bibby could have played over the weekend, but sought to give the veteran enough time to heal. The point guard said his back should be at 100 percent by the middle of the week. He's not useful to owners outside of extraordinarily deep leagues. |

Sun Dec 25 2011 | 11:02 | Mike Bibby (back) unlikely to play Sunday |
Mike Bibby (back) isn't expected to play on Sunday, making Iman Shumpert the Knicks' backup PG. |
Bibby will be in uniform, just in case, but we expect to get a good long look at Shumpert, who is a natural SG and is an intriguing sleeper in deep fantasy leagues. Consider Bibby day-to-day. |

Sat Dec 24 2011 | 12:49 | Mike Bibby (back) iffy for Sunday's game |
Mike Bibby (back spasms) was limited during practice on Saturday, and his status for Sunday's game is uncertain. |
Bibby could have some value as a 3-point specialist until Baron Davis returns to action, but there are plenty of more appealing fantasy options. |

Bibby left Wednesday's preseason game with back spasms, and he was sore enough on Friday to remain sidelined. He's not on the fantasy radar in standard sized leagues. |

Sat Dec 10 2011 | 22:06 | Bibby signs one-year deal with Knicks |
PG Mike Bibby agreed to a one-year deal with the Knicks at the veteran's minimum of $1.4 million on Saturday. |
We're hearing the deal is agreed upon in principle but will be signed on Sunday. Either way, it's official, and as we've mentioned we do not view him as a threat to projected starter Toney Douglas' minutes. Bibby is projected to play 20 minutes or less off the bench and isn't draftworthy in the large majority of leagues. |

Mike Bibby is expected to sign a one-year minimum deal with the Knicks on Sunday. |
Knicks fans have responded to this news with near-universal disdain. Bibby's usefulness at this point in his career is limited to shooting spot-up 3-pointers and watching opponents blow by him on the perimeter. He's slated to backup starter Toney Douglas. |

Fri Dec 9 2011 | 21:00 | Knicks in negotiations with Mike Bibby? |
Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld reported Friday that free agent PG Mike Bibby is in "serious negotiations" with the Knicks. |
This shouldn't rain on Toney Douglas' parade all that much, as Bibby's best days are behind him and Douglas is easily the better player. It would be smart, however, on the Knicks side to sign Bibby and have him mentor Douglas. We'll see. |

Tue Jun 14 2011 | 10:00 | Free agent Mike Bibby says he will not retire |
Impending free agent Mike Bibby says he has no plans to retire. |
Bibby, 33, gave up $6.4 million in a buyout this season so he could join the Heat. Then he found himself benched in Game 6 of the Finals and was arguably the most ineffective player in the NBA during much of the playoffs. The only team that may want him back is the Heat, as his 3-point stroke is still viable in their scheme. Bibby would have to accept the veteran minimum and likely a backup role. |

Fri May 13 2011 | 18:12 | Heat will start w/ Bibby defending MVP Rose |
Mike Bibby will begin the Eastern Conference semifinals by defending league MVP Derrick Rose, according to LeBron James. |
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said that he's keeping his options open -- Miami will obviously throw everything they have at Rose defensively, and Bibby is too slow-footed to stay on him for long. After being eliminated by the Bulls, Hawks star Joe Johnson said, "Rose puts so much pressure on the defense, so you almost have to stop him and let everyone else have the ball." |

Mon Apr 25 2011 | 09:38 | Mike Bibby continues to struggle for Miami |
Mike Bibby is just 4-of-19 from beyond the arc in the first round of the playoffs. |
He's shooting just 6-of-27 overall, and he hasn't quite lived up to the expectations that the team held for him when they brought him into town. Coach Erik Spoelstra hasn't given up on him, but it shouldn't surprise anyone to see LeBron James and Dwyane Wade do the majority of the ball-handling as the postseason rolls forward. |

Sun Apr 24 2011 | 16:12 | Bibby, Ilgauskas struggle as starters |
Mike Bibby and Zydrunas Ilgauskas, two-fifths of Miami's starters, combined to score one point on 0-of-9 shooting in Sunday's game, with zero assists, steals, or blocks. |
Their +/- was -33 in a combined 24 minutes of action in a four-point loss. It just doesn't seem like a good matchup for the slow-footed veterans, as Philly's game is based on speed and versatility. |

Thu Apr 21 2011 | 22:49 | PGs Bibby, Chalmers invisible for Heat |
Starting point guard Mike Bibby hit just 1-of-5 shots for three points and zero assists, while back up Mario Chalmers failed to score and had three assists in another win for the Heat. |
The two combined to play 44 minutes at point guard tonight, but the Heat obviously have no use for one. The Heat may go out and try to find a better option at running the point for next season, but with LeBron and Wade around, it's probably not going to make a difference, regardless of who they bring in. |

Wed Apr 13 2011 | 18:29 | Mike Bibby to start for Heat on Wednesday |
Mike Bibby is a surprise starter for the Heat on Wednesday. |
The regulars have been benched tonight, outside of Bibby. He'll start alongside Eddie House, James Jones, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Joel Anthony. LeBron, D-Wade, Bosh and Mike Miller are out, and we're guessing Bibby is only playing because of such limited options at point guard. |

Tue Apr 12 2011 | 18:34 | Mike Bibby appears unlikely to play Wednesday |
Beat writer Ira Winderman doesn't believe Mike Bibby appears likely to play on Wednesday, as Miami is widely expected to rest their starters in the regular season finale. |
This report leads us to assume that Bibby won't play, which would make him useless to fantasy owners. If Bibby does see the court, it will likely be in a very limited capacity and can safely be cut loose. |

Sun Apr 10 2011 | 19:17 | Bibby gets green light in win over Celtics |
Mike Bibby only scored six points in Sunday's win over the Celtics but was given a green light to shoot, attempting ten shots in the game. |
He broke the 30 minute barrier in Sunday's game and while his stat line was rather weak (six points, two 3-pointers, three rebounds, five assists and two steals). His shot percentage should go up though we still don't expect much from him going forward. What's important is that this may signal that Bibby might be establishing himself as the primary player at the point. |

Wed Apr 6 2011 | 11:20 | Bibby sticking as starter ahead of Chalmers? |
Coach Erik Spoelstra said that he's still evaluating his point guard situation. |
Beat writer Shandel Richardson notes that Spoelstra "seems like he's comfortable" with Mike Bibby as his starter. Spo is likely to stick with the veteran, but the minutes will be shared evenly with Mario Chalmers. Neither are viable fantasy plays. |
