Kaman played 23 minutes and scored 12 points against the Lakers Wednesday. Kaman suffered a head laceration on Tuesday, but he didn't have any lasting problems or concussion-like symptoms so he was able to play in Wednesday's game. He should be ready for the regular season opener.

Kaman suffered a head laceration when Timofey Mozgov inadvertently bit him during Tuesday's preseason game, the Oregonian's Joe Freeman reports. Kaman said he didn't think he suffered a concussion and his status for Wednesday's game is unclear, as the results of a concussion test weren't immediately known Tuesday night. While getting accidentally bitten by a fellow player certainly isn't ideal, it shouldn't be something that sidelines him for the season opener.

Chris Kaman officially signed his two-year, $10M contract with the Trail Blazers on Thursday. "I am extremely pleased to add Chris to our roster," said Blazers Coach Terry Stotts. "He is a proven NBA talent and will both bolster and complement our front court at both ends of the floor." Kaman provides quality depth in the front court behind Robin Lopez and LaMarcus Aldridge, but he should not be on fantasy radars.

The Blazers have reached an agreement with Chris Kaman on a two-year, $10 million contract. This likely takes the Blazers out of the running on Spencer Hawes. Kaman will come in and back up Robin Lopez, who has been remarkably durable in his NBA career. He'll likely just have his minutes in the teens and will not have much fantasy value. The second year of his deal is partially guaranteed.

Chris Kaman's future with the Lakers is unclear, as the team is still developing a game plan on how to attack next season. Kaman didn't fit into Mike D'Antoni's scheme and he eventually told Mike D to play him, or develop Robert Sacre instead. Kaman didn't play down the stretch and it's probably safe to say that if D'Antoni is coach next season, Kaman probably won't return to the Lakers.

Chris Kaman (calf) will not play vs. the Spurs on Wednesday. Kaman struggled to find favor with coach Mike D'Antoni and he wasn't shy about expressing his displeasure. The few times he did step into a big role it was short-lived, which made him very hard to roster in fantasy leagues. Hopefully he'll find a more suitable role next season, whether in L.A. or elsewhere.

Chris Kaman (calf) will not play against the Jazz on Monday. He is likely out on Wednesday night and his first season with the Lakers did not go well. He had some issues with his coach and couldn't say healthy -- a common problem for Kaman. Jordan Hill and Ryan Kelly will start and make for decent options considering how poorly the Jazz defend the paint.

Chris Kaman (strained calf) went through light activities during Saturday's practice. The Lakers already announced that Kaman won't play on Sunday but he could make an appearance during L.A.'s final two games on Monday and Wednesday. Even if he does return, he's unlikely to get enough playing time to be worth the trouble for fantasy owners fighting until the bitter end.

Chris Kaman (strained calf) won't play on Friday or Sunday and he's uncertain to return this season. "I'm doing all right," said Kaman. "It's slow ... the calf is a weird thing. I don't know if it's possible [to return]." He's holding out some hope that he might return for L.A.'s final two games but it seems unlikely at this point. With Pau Gasol (vertigo) also out of commission, the Lakers will continue to rely on Jordan Hill, Robert Sacre and Ryan Kelly.

Chris Kaman will not play against the Rockets on Tuesday due to his strained calf. This will be his fourth consecutive game out of the lineup and he will likely miss more. Kaman has been in Mike D'Antoni's doghouse this season and there is little incentive to stash him in fantasy leagues. Jordan Hill's minutes are safe while Ryan Kelly and Robert Sacre will help.
