The Latest on LB's Plans this week

Tyson Chandler says he's ready. Larry Brown has informed him that he will not be used as a starter until he shows he can mesh with the team's current chemistry. Brown says that Nazr will remain the starter - at least for a while - and his plan is to use Chandler at the 4 alongside Nazr to take advantage of Tyson's defensive abilities while still getting Nazr's quality point scoring and rebounding abilities.

Meanwhile, Raymond Felton mildly turned his ankle at practice yesterday and was treated. He's listed as a gameday decision for tomorrow.

Brown also said that several team members were feeling sick prior to the Hornets game but were doing better. He referred to the loss as a "blip" that he did not believe would happen again.

Thought y'all would want to know that LB is doing the exact stuff we've been talking about regarding Chandler's return. Chandler was quoted as saying he's eager to play but doesn't expect to start or even play many minutes until he finds his way back into the team flow. Nazr also commented, saying he expects to return to the bench fairly soon. He said a player shouldn't lose a starter position simply because of an injury. "I know I would not want that to happen to me," he said.
