Chris Duhon will be traded to the Lakers in the four-team deal for Dwight Howard.
Duhon told the Orlando Sentinel that he is "definitely" in the deal, while CBS Sports reports that Duhon will be sent to L.A. with Earl Clark and Howard in the trade. Duhon will serve as the third-string point guard behind Steve Nash and Steve Blake, offering absolutely no fantasy value.

Chris Duhon will continue to serve as the backup point guard in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.
Duhon has come under fire from Orlando media and fans as he's scored just three points in 52 minutes of action during the series. Still, coach Stan Van Gundy isn't going to turn to Ish Smith behind Jameer Nelson, citing Duhon's effective plus/minus through the first three games of the series.

Chris Duhon (foot) participated in all of shootaround on Friday.
Duhon's foot injury clearly isn't anything serious if he went through the entire session. It's unclear if or when he will regain his backup point guard spot from Ish Smith at some point in the future, but neither player carries fantasy appeal.

Updating a previous item, Chris Duhon will undergo an MRI on his sore foot on Thursday.
We're going to mark him sidelined since he hasn't played in either of the last two games. Duhon revealed that his foot has been bothering him since Saturday, and the exam should shed light on exactly what he's dealing with in terms of an injury. Ish Smith will continue to serve as the backup point guard.

Chris Duhon is back from suspension Tuesday, but Ish Smith will still serve as Jameer Nelson's backup.
Smith racked up six points, seven assists and three steals on Monday night. That was enough for him to stick as the primary backup for at least one more game.

Chris Duhon has been suspended for Monday's game against the Pistons for conduct detrimental to the team.
Duhon's suspension doesn't appear to have anything to do with the Dwight Howard soap opera. His agent says he had some personal issues that came up but they've since been taken care of. The backup point guard is expected to play Tuesday, with Ish Smith filling in behind Jameer Nelson Monday.

Chris Duhon started for injured/resting Jameer Nelson (knee) on Thursday, scoring six points on 3-of-9 shooting (no threes) with three rebounds, four assists, a steal, and a block in 28 minutes.
If you used Duhon in a spot-start we'd call this line a win, so remember that the next time Nelson goes out and Duhon gets the nod.

Chris Duhon started for injured Jameer Nelson (concussion) on Friday, scoring eight points on 3-of-8 shooting (including two threes) with two rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 36 minutes.
As long as Duhon plays like this and the Magic continue to win then he should hold off any challenge from newcomer Ish Smith, but for fantasy purposes he's a desperate spot-starting option at best. Nelson is said to have a chance at playing on Monday, but only the folks in the Magic locker room know what's really going on there.

Chris Duhon started for injured Jameer Nelson (concussion) on Monday, scoring three points on 1-of-4 shooting (including a three) with three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 35 minutes.
This is a Duhon line if we've ever seen one, highlighting the trouble he can be even when given starter's minutes. He'll be here all week -- just remember to tip Nelson's owners on the way out.
