Makes sense. Can't afford foul trouble to both Rak and Keita.

Syracuse sophomore C.J. Fair expected to get first career start in place of Melo, who will miss next two games due to academic issue. MW

This will be good practice time for Fair and Xmas. Xmas will get some touches downlow and Fair will get a starters roll for awhile.

IMO fair needs that more then Dion. Dion already knows hes a leader and go go guy, Fair gets more respect from this.

Wait, so is Waters saying that Fab will play on the 28th?

I don't think so. I just think he is saying that he won't play the next two. I don't think anyone knows if and when we will see melo again.

Don't read anything into it. Fab didn't make the road trip, so he will miss the next two games.

His status will be determined on Tuesday.

He didn't say "at least the next 2 games". Grasping for straws, I guess

Exactly how I thought it would work out.

Then see healthy subbing of Dirty and Keita.
