Josh McRoberts (toe) had X-rays and a CT scan taken of his ailing left digit, which did not show a fracture. He is still listed as day-to-day.
With Andrew Bynum back, McRoberts' fantasy value has all but evaporated. Since Bynum's return, McRoberts is only averaging 18.5 minutes per game, five points per game and 4.5 rebounds per game. We'd be ok if you need to cut him for a hot free agent like James Anderson or Tyrus Thomas.

Josh McRoberts is still bothered by a left toe injury and is listed as day-to-day, leaving him questionable for Tuesday.
With the return of Andrew Bynum, McRoberts is no longer a player you want starting for your fantasy team.

With Andrew Bynum back in action, Josh McRoberts played only 22 minutes off the Lakers' bench on Saturday, posting six points and six rebounds.
It was fun while it lasted, but McBob should be dropped in average-sized fantasy leagues for a more promising free agent. In deeper formats, his roto-friendly game could prove useful even in a reduced bench role.

Josh McRoberts said he will play through his bruised/sprained left big toe and is expected to start in Tuesday night's game vs. the Jazz.
McRoberts injured his left big toe on Monday, however X-rays were negative and he plans to play through the injury and start on Tuesday vs. the Jazz. McBob's run is about to come to an end as Andrew Bynum will be back soon for the Lakers, after finishing his season-opening four-game suspension.

Josh McRoberts suffered a sprained left big toe in Monday's loss to the Kings, and finished with two points on 0-for-2 shooting with five rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes.
X-rays taken on the toe were negative, and all of a sudden the Lakers' frontcourt has disintegrated. If McBob can't go on Tuesday against the Blazers, look for Troy Murphy to try to turn back the clock.

Starting at PF on Sunday, Josh McRoberts had six points, eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two turnovers in 35 minutes.
McBob will start the next three games while Andrew Bynum completes his suspension, so if you were ever going to use him, this is the week. He has low-end versatility which makes him useful in deep roto leagues, if nothing else.

Lakers head coach Mike Brown has said that Josh McRoberts will start at power forward for the Lakers on Sunday.
McRoberts will start at PF to begin the season for the Lakers, as Pau Gasol will slide over to center for the first four games, with Andrew Bynum starting the season on a four-game suspension. McRoberts will be a nice role player for the Lakers, and although he will start the first few games of the season, we wouldn't draft him in standard-sized leagues.

Josh McRoberts had just two points and four rebounds in 17 minutes on Wednesday.
McRoberts could get five quick starts with Andrew Bynum suspended for the first five games of the season, making him an intriguing play in Week 1. He'll split time with Troy Murphy, but could be a sneaky play in deep leagues.

Josh McRoberts made his Lakers debut in Monday's preseason game against the Clippers, playing 16 minutes off the bench with two points, two rebounds, one assist, and one steal.
McBob runs the floor and can mix it up down low, so he'll likely win the backup PF job over newcomer Troy Murphy. The winner of this value will have no fantasy value as long as Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum are healthy and playing in L.A.
