From Mike Barrett's official blog:

"Brandon Roy will not play tonight. I mentioned earlier that he left the team following the win over Chicago on Wednesday to be with an ill family member. Now, unfortunately, it can be termed a death in the family. That's all Brandon would like us to mention right now. Obviously, he is not with the team. He plans to rejoin the team in Indianapolis tomorrow night.
It marks the first time this season the Blazers won't have him in the starting lineup. Martell Webster, who came off the bench in the Chicago game, will move back into the starting lineup at the small forward spot, and Steve Blake and Jarrett Jack will start in the backcourt."

Brandon Roy did not travel with the Trail Blazers to Detroit and will miss tonight's game against the Pistons due to a death in the family. Because of the timing of the memorial service, Roy will also miss Saturday’s game with the Indiana Pacers. The Trail Blazers guard is expected to rejoin the team for Monday’s game versus the Houston Rockets.

Although the Washington Times is reporting last night's disappearing act by Daniels as being due to recurring knee issues, the Washington Post is saying otherwise:

Wizards point guard Antonio Daniels, who made his 33rd start in place of Arenas, left the game in the first quarter with what he called bone spurs in this right ankle and did not return. Daniels said the ankle has been a problem for several weeks and could be the result of him overcompensating while playing on a sore right knee.
Daniels missed eight games in December with a sprained right knee ligament. Asked whether he should take a few games off in order to allow the ankle to heel, Daniels said: "I can't. I can't. My team needs me out there, so I have to be out there."

Butler & Daniels game time decisions.

In addition to Butler, three-time all-star Gilbert Arenas (knee) is still out and in the first quarter Friday, point guard Antonio Daniels was forced to leave the game because of a persistent problem with his right ankle and knee.

Neither Butler nor Daniels practiced yesterday and their availability for today's game will be a game-time decision. Daniels said after Friday's game that he would do everything he could to be in the lineup against the Suns

Reading between the lines, it sounds like Butler day to day but Daniels won't play tonight.

Butler missed his third straight game with a strained left hip flexor and is day-to-day. Daniels was out with right ankle soreness and said he may return Wednesday night when the Wizards close the trip in Los Angeles against the Clippers.

Dirk Nowitzki says his back felt fine after Monday's game, while Josh Howard was still having trouble even putting his shoes on.

"I won't know until Tuesday," Howard said when asked if he thought he'd be able to play Wednesday against Portland. "We've got a long plane ride. We'll see how it feels." Long plane rides are not good news for back injuries, so we're crossing our fingers for Howard. "It felt good," Nowitzki said of his trip to the locker room to stretch his back out during the game. "I didn't have any issues after that." Good news for Dirk, who should be fine for Wednesday.

In a worst-case scenario, the Mavs will be without three starters and their sixth man tonight in their home game against Portland.

Forward Josh Howard, injured in the fourth quarter Monday, had an MRI on Tuesday that confirmed a lower back contusion, the team announced. He is listed as questionable.

Daniels and Butler

The good news for the Wizards (24-27) is that help could be on the way soon. Daniels, who has missed consecutive games with soreness in his right ankle, said the ankle is feeling "much better" and he could return Wednesday night when the team closes its four-game trip in Los Angeles against the Clippers.

Butler has missed the last five games with a strained left hip flexor but went through a workout Tuesday and will be a game-time decision.

If Butler doesn't play or experiences a setback, he may sit out Sunday's All-Star Game with the hopes of returning healthy after the break, which begins Thursday and ends Monday when the Wizards return to practice to prepare for Tuesday's home game against the New York Knicks.

Rotoworld per Butler & Daniels

Caron Butler didn't participate in Wednesday's shootaround and it's unlikely that he'll play against the Clippers tonight due to his lingering hip injury.

Antonio Daniels did make it through shootaround and is likely to play tonight after missing a couple games with an ankle injury.

Kobe Bryant's jammed his recently dislocated right pinkie finger during the second quarter of Wednesday's game. The finger began to swell, but X-rays taken came back negative.

Bryant's status for the All-Star game is in doubt, though Phil Jackson said that the Lakers would prefer if he does not play. He will see a hand specialist in Los Angeles on Thursday, and with any luck he'll be fine on the other side of the break.

Wow !
Here was the story on ESPN's website at 9:17

"I would prefer to delay any surgical procedure until after our Lakers season, and this summer's Olympic Games. But this is an injury that myself and the Lakers medical staff will just have to continue to monitor on a day-to-day basis."

It was unclear if Bryant will play in Sunday's All-Star Game at New Orleans. But he will skip the 3-point shooting contest, with Dirk Nowitzki of Dallas replacing him.

More Kobe:

Kobe Bryant will either have to play in Sunday's All-Star Game or face a one-game suspension, despite having a serious finger injury that was revealed on Thursday.

According to NBA policy, any selectee who plays in his team's last game -- Bryant scored 29 in Wednesday's win in Minnesota -- has to play in the All-Star game or sit out his team's next game. Even though his pinkie injury was diagnosed as a ligament tear after Wednesday's game, Bryant is expected to play. He'll likely start and then sit out the rest of the game, but there's also a chance he could skip it altogether with the Lakers set to meet the lowly Hawks in their first game after the break.

Center Chris Kaman came down with a sore right shin and is listed as questionable tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies as the Clippers return from the All-Star break.

Kaman is still trying to regain an offensive rhythm after sitting out five games with flu and dropping about 15 pounds.

"It's hard because your teammates play a certain way without you and then you get back and they don't want to change," Kaman said. "They played pretty well in that stretch. It's tough coming back from anything when you are out that long."

Rotoworld's blurb on Roy is above, this is the source from the Oregonian . I guess they feel " questionable " and " game time decision " are teh same.

Roy questionable for Sonics

Quick mentioned this in his online chat earlier this afternoon, but in case you missed it ...

Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan said today that Brandon Roy is a game-time decision for Thursday night's matchup against Seattle because of a viral chest infection and a previously unreported ankle injury.

Roy showed up to the Blazers' practice facility today for the team's workout but was promptly ordered to return home and rest because his illness had noticeably worsened. Roy played through sickness against the Kings Tuesday night -- laboring through a 5-for-18 shooting performance to score 11 points -- and did not address the media afterward as team doctors examined him.

Roy also apparently suffered a mild ankle injury against Dallas in the Blazers' final game before the All-Star break. He did not show any effects during either of his All-Star game appearances, but the minor injury apparently is lingering.

Cassell played three minutes in the second half Wednesday. Dunleavy said it was because he wanted a sturdier defensive presence with Brevin Knight, but Cassell said he did not play much because he sprained his right wrist, when he landed on a camera on a third-quarter drive to the basket. Cassell said he was questionable for Friday's game against Utah.

Center Chris Kaman did not practice Thursday because of a sore right shin, but he is expected to play against Utah

My opinion: If you read the entire article it sounds like Cassell is dissappointed in not getting traded so I'm not sure how serious the injury is, or if it just no desire to play.
