Anthony Parker (back) is inactive for Tuesday's game against the Pistons. |
Coach Byron Scott has already hinted that Parker may be held out through the All-Star break. The Cavs have also called up shooting guard Manny Harris from the D-League. It remains to be seen if Parker gets his starting gig back once healthy. |

Tue Feb 21 2012 | 12:20 | Anthony Parker questionable for Tues, Wed. |
Anthony Parker (back) is questionable for both Tuesday and Wednesday. |
Parker hasn't played in a game since January 29 due to ongoing back woes, and the Cavs will not rush him back before he's 100 percent ready. With Daniel Gibson (ankle) expected back and Alonzo Gee playing well, Cleveland will ensure that the veteran gets all the rest he needs before returning to the lineup. Parker is averaging just 6.0 points on 36.8 percent shooting over 23 minutes this season. |

Anthony Parker (back) practiced Monday, but still may be held out through the All-Star break. |
Parker has missed 10 straight games, so the 36-year-old veteran is going to need some time to get back in the swing of things. With Daniel Gibson (ankle) also highly questionable, Alonzo Gee appears headed another start at shooting guard against the Pistons Tuesday. |

Anthony Parker (back) is expected to practice Monday. |

Wed Feb 15 2012 | 12:22 | Anthony Parker 'could' return next week |
Anthony Parker (back) is progressing and "could" return next week. |
Byron Scott said that he was hopeful Parker could return to non-contact practice on Friday, but that is far from a guarantee. Parker has been out for better than two weeks and has battled back issues all season long. Daniel Gibson will continue to start in his place and be an excellent short-term play for owners who need a boost in the 3-point department. |

Mon Feb 13 2012 | 14:23 | Anthony Parker still out |
Anthony Parker (back) remains sidelined. |
Parker has now been out for two full weeks, hinting at a serious back issue. The Cavs have provided no details on the extent of the veteran's injury. Meanwhile, Daniel Gibson continues to provide 3-point shooting and defense as the starting shooting guard. In the last three games, he's averaging 13.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.7 3-pointers made. |

Fri Feb 10 2012 | 11:38 | Anthony Parker 'likely' to sit out Saturday |
Anthony Parker (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks and will "likely" miss Saturday's game as well. |
Parker will miss his sixth straight tonight, and Saturday would mark the seventh straight he's sat out. He's dealt with back problems early and often this season, and clearly nothing has improved in that regard. Daniel Gibson should continue to fill in as a starer, and he's averaged 11.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 2.0 treys in two starts this season. |

Tue Feb 7 2012 | 11:22 | Parker, Gibson, Thompson all out on Tuesday |
Anthony Parker (back), Daniel Gibson (neck) and Tristan Thompson (ankle) will not play on Tuesday against Miami. |
No surprises here as all three players were not expected to play. The team also waived Mychal Thompson on Monday, so owners looking for a plug-and-play should take a careful look at Alonzo Gee. Gee has scored in double-digits in four straight and has consistently clocked about 30 minutes in each contest. |

Anthony Parker (back) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Heat. |
This is Parker's fourth straight game missed as he continues to deal with his consistently balky back. Mychel Thompson has been starting at shooting guard, but has been predictably outplayed by Ramon Sessions and Alonzo Gee. Daniel Gibson (neck) is also expected back Tuesday. |

Sat Feb 4 2012 | 17:46 | Anthony Parker (back) out again vs. Mavs |
Anthony Parker (back) won't play vs. the Mavericks on Saturday. |
Parker has been in the league a long time and his back is nagging him this season, which hands a much bigger role to much-improved Alonzo Gee. Expect Parker to retake the starting SG job once he's healthy. |

Thu Feb 2 2012 | 13:41 | Anthony Parker ruled out for Thursday's game |
Anthony Parker (back) will not play on Friday against the Magic. |
Parker has been dealing with back issues all season and was forced to sit out on Tuesday due to the injury. He'll miss his second straight on Friday, and Mychel Thompson will once again draw the start in his place. However, Ramon Sessions and Alonzo Gee are the beneficiaries of Parker's absence from a fantasy perspective. |

Anthony Parker left Sunday's game with back spasms and will not return. |
Parker's back was ailing coming into the game, and without Daniel Gibson he was forced to play the whole first quarter. Until we hear otherwise, we'll consider the veteran SG questionable for Tuesday's game vs. the visiting Celtics. |

Sat Jan 21 2012 | 21:42 | Varejao, Parker both struggle in loss to ATL |
Anderson Varejao and Anthony Parker scored a combined six points on 2-of-12 shooting in Saturday's lopsided loss to the Hawks. |
Antawn Jamison scored 10 points and Omri Casspi chipped in 11 points, but nobody played more than 27 minutes for the Cavs. Fantasy owners should dismiss most of the aberrant stat lines this game produced. |
