Injury Report
Shoulder - Expected to be ready for 2008-09 training camp (Updated - 5/14/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Battie has averaged 6.7 points and 5.6 rebounds in 10 years with Denver, Boston, Cleveland and the Magic. With the 6-foot-10 Battie out, offseason acquisition Adonal Foyle and rookie Marcin Gortat could be called to fill the post beside Howard. Gortat was drafted in 2005 but has stayed overseas, playing only in the NBA summer league. Don't draft Battie in Fantasy. (Updated 10/26/2007).
