Player Notes

March 4, 2008
As expected, the Pistons signed Theo Ratliff to a contract Tuesday after he cleared waivers, following his release from the T-Wolves on Thursday, according to the AP. Ratliff can still block shots at a high rate, but he won't see enough game action to have any fantasy value.

The Pistons are expected to bring Theo Ratliff back into the fold by inking him to a contract for the remainder of the season once he clears waivers on Saturday, according to the Detroit Free Press. He was released by the T-Wolves Thursday evening. He was a fantasy stud as a shot-blocker in his prime. But this time, Ratliff will only see spot duty and carry no fantasy value at all.

Theo Ratliff, who was inactive again Tuesday night, is close to returning to active duty. Wolves coach Randy Wittman told the Wolves radio network that Ratliff could return as soon as this weekend.

Theo Ratliff, who has missed all but six games because of a right knee injury this year, is practicing daily after having knee surgery and is expected back in a couple of weeks, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. The Timberwolves can hardly wait to put his shot-blocking ability to good use.

Theo Ratliff said he's optimistic that he will be able to practice in a limited fashion sometime this week. The veteran hasn't played since having surgery on Dec. 18 to repair a torn meniscus. "I'm really just playing it by ear," Ratliff said in the Pioneer Press. "Probably in the next couple days I'll try to get out there on the floor and do some stuff with the guys. It's been fine so far as far as recovering. I'm just continuing to try to progress."

Theo Ratliff has been off his crutches for about 7-10 days, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Although the T-Wolves haven't announced a specific timetable for his return from knee surgery, we won't likely see him back on the court until sometime next month.
