November 4, 2008 Kareem Rush is displeased with his role with the Sixers since joining the club as a free agent last summer, according to PhillyBurbs.com. He said, "It’s very discouraging. I didn’t plan on this when I signed here, but it’s the way it is. A lot of these guys have played with coach Maurice Cheeks a number of years, so I think it’s a familiarity thing that he has with these guys."
Our View:He is only averaging 8.7 minutes over three games this season. He will hold no fantasy value if his workload does not begin to increase. He is a perfect 3-for-3 on three-pointers so far.
October 9, 2008 Kareem Rush returned to practice on Thursday after missing most of the previous three days with a sprained ankle. He could be ready to go for Friday night's preseason game, according to phillyBurbs.com.
Our View:Should Rush return to health, he could play a significant role on the Sixers team this season. He is their best perimeter threat and could approach 150 three-pointers this season.
October 7, 2008 Shooting guard Kareem Rush suffered a sprained ankle during practice on Monday according to phillyBurbs.com.
Our View:No word yet on the severity of the injury but ankles can obviously be serious and lingering. He is the lone deep threat on Philadelphia so he should see 20-plus minutes again this season and should be good for over 100 threes once again.
