Court Report: Zach Randolph remains “on schedule”

Zach Randolph had another MRI on Wednesday and all signs point to his still being on schedule as he returns from a torn right MCL, suffered on January 1. His approximate return date remains March 1, with eight weeks remaining in the regular season (~29 team games). Notable for h2h: a March 1 return would be just over three weeks before the start of the default playoffs (March 26), and the Grizzlies are the only team with five games in both the default semifinals and finals (weeks of April 2 and April 9). Z-Bo wouldn't play big minutes in the early stages, no matter when he returns, but could certainly be back to form by the time the h2h playoffs roll around. For this reason, a stash does make sense, and he's already rostered in 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues. If he's on the wire in your league, then how quickly you should consider adding him will be relative to your team's depth and current odds of making the playoffs. With this news, Z-Bo still remains behind Manu Ginobili (77% owned) and Brook Lopez (57% owned) in the stash hierarchy.
