Eduardo Najera (right shoulder contusion) missed team shootarounds but is expected to play in Monday's game against the Bucks.

Despite the Bobcats being thin in the front court, Najera has failed to post any numbers. The shoulder injury shouldn't make the situation any better.

Eduardo Najera left Friday's game with a right shoulder contusion and did not return.

He logged six minutes before leaving and has no fantasy value whether his shoulder is healthy or not.

Eduardo Najera (flu) returned to action on Saturday, playing 22 minutes on his way to four points on 2-of-5 shooting, three rebounds, and one block.

It's hard to think of a player with less fantasy value than Najera, as even if the aging, injury-prone Najera were to get 48 minutes per game, he still wouldn't be worth owning.

Eduardo Najera (illness) will return for the Bobcats on Saturday.

Najera should be Charlotte's primary backup PF, and his return has bumped Dominic McGuire to the inactive list.

Eduardo Najera (illness) is inactive for the Bobcats on Friday.

Najera is a tough veteran and a quality player to have in the locker room, but his fantasy value is nil.

Bobcats forward Eduardo Najera (ill) skipped Friday's shootaround and his status for tonight's game is uncertain.

If the veteran Najera cannot play, Dominic McGuire will serve as Charlotte's first backup PF.

Beat writer Rick Bonnell notes that Eduardo Najera played extended minutes Monday night because Kwame Brown as in foul trouble.

Brown had a poor night, getting abused by Al Jefferson. Najera came in and banged with Big Al for almost 28 minutes, the most playing time he has received all season. It won't be a trend.

Eduardo Najera (groin) returned to action from a groin injury when he played for one second on Saturday night.

No, the Eduardo Najera era is not beginning. He is about as irrelevant as an NBA player can be in fantasy leagues.

Bobcats F Eduardo Najera (sports hernia) has been cleared to fully practice.

Najera will be ready to go for a towel-waiving role come Opening Night.

Eduardo Najera (sports hernia surgery) was back at practice on Wednesday doing drills.

He's still not ready for game action, and is likely to be irrelevant in fantasy leagues this season even when healthy. Najera averaged just 3.4 points per game last season.

Eduardo Najera is three weeks away from being able to practice after undergoing sports hernia surgery on Sept. 10.

Najera may be inactive on a lot of nights even when healthy. The Bobcats are deep at power forward with Tyrus Thomas, Boris Diaw, Derrick Brown and Dominic McGuire all capable of playing the four.

Eduardo Najera has been traded from Dallas to Charlotte in the Tyson Chandler deal.

Najera is the textbook definition of an NBA role player/enforcer, and regardless of which of the 30 teams you placed him on, his value would remain the same. In other words, he has none in fantasy.

Eduardo Najera has already picked up a Flagrant foul and another Flagrant-2 foul, putting him one flagrant away from a mandatory suspension.

Najera picked up another in Game 5 when he poked Tony Parker in the eye while enforcing his personal "no layup rule." He intends to continue playing tough, but "just can't go wild like I usually can."

Mavericks PF Eduardo Najera will not face any punishment for his Flagrant-2 foul on Manu Ginobili during Game 4.

Najera freely admits he was sending a message to the Spurs after watching them "hit Dirk [Nowitzki] in the face." The Mavs must embrace such toughness if they're going to climb out of the 1-3 hole they are in.
