Byron Mullens (back) played just eight minutes in Friday's game, missing one field goal attempt for zero points, one rebound and a steal. Mullens is a big mess right now and he can be dropped in any normal format. He could get his act together down the road, but owners should wait for that to happen before considering an add in those leagues.

Byron Mullens (back) was limited in practice and will be a game-time decision against the Raptors on Friday. Mullens has been benched in favor of Josh McRoberts and hasn't played more than 23 minutes in any game during March. He was a fantasy contributor earlier in the season, but owners in standard formats can definitely move on if they haven't already. Josh McRoberts should continue to start at power forward.

Byron Mullens suffered a lower back strain in Tuesday's game and his return is questionable. He has fallen out of favor with coach Mike Dunlap and played just 11.4 minutes per game over his last five games. Mullens was squarely on the chopping block even before this injury and he's a liability on almost all fantasy rosters right now.

Byron Mullens was benched in favor of Josh McRoberts on Saturday, finishing with only two points and two rebounds and 5 minutes. Mullens' value has been miniscule over the past three games (averaging 3.0 points with zero rebounds or blocks) and this demotion should be the coup de grace for his fantasy relevance. He remains a possible source of points and 3-pointers in deeper leagues, but most owners would do well to cut him.

Byron Mullens played just 17 minutes in Friday's 116-94 loss to the Thunder, scoring five points with two assists and one 3-pointer. He shot just 2-of-7 from the field and didn't even grab a rebound. His value has migrated south in his previous two games, averaging 2.0 points with 0.0 boards in 8.0 minutes. Mullens has dealt with a knee issue and after missing almost six weeks with an ankle sprain, his durability isn't one of his better qualities. You have our blessing to drop him for a hot free agent, but he could turn it around with the lack of depth on Charlotte's roster.

Byron Mullens played through his knee injury on Wednesday, but lasted just 13 minutes and hit 2-of-6 shots for four points, while contributing nothing else. We've given Mullens a long leash and the benefit of the doubt for some time now, and this looks like the straw that will break the camel's back. It's crunch time in fantasy hoops, and while there's a decent chance Mullens will suddenly get hot again at some point, it's far from a guarantee. If you need to drop him and pick up a hot free agent, do it. Especially as the Bobcats' nightly rotation seems to becoming more of a mystery with each passing day.

Byron Mullens (knee) will play Wednesday night against the Nets. Mullens played just three minutes in Monday's game, but there's a debate over whether he asked out of the game or whether he was pulled from the lineup. Regardless, it's pretty clear Mullens' knee is less than 100 percent and owners should adjust their expectations to compensate.

Byron Mullens said after Monday's game that his knee injury isn't a long-term concern, and said that he didn't ask out of the game and that coach Mike Dunlap pulled him instead. "I do think it was the smart thing to do -- come out, rest it," said Mullens. "At this point in the season, rest it another day. I'll get some stim (electric stimulation) and ice, and I'll be fine." It looks like this won't be a value-crushing moment, and we're calling him questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Byron Mullens suffered a knee injury and asked out of Monday's game after playing three minutes in the first quarter. Mullens did not return to the game and while this at least gives some explanation to owners, it's not doing anything to pay the bills, especially for those in weekly leagues. We'll update you as soon as we learn more, and Josh McRoberts (nine points, eight boards, three assists, one block, 23 minutes) could be worth a short-term look in a deeper format.

Gerald Henderson and Byron Mullens tied for the team-high with 12 points in Sunday's ugly loss, in which none of Charlotte's players logged 30 minutes. We've consistently warned owners about Bobcats-related blowouts and tonight was only the most recent example. They easily have the league's worst per-game +/- differential (-9.5), more than two full points behind the 29th-ranked Kings, and there is no help on the horizon.
