Johan Franzen injured his knee this past Saturday after a knee-on-knee collision with Chicago Blackhawks Brent Sopel. It was nothing to severe, the two players just ran into each other. Sopel was skating off the ice and Franzen was skating into the play.

“We’re disappointed Johan will be out for a period of time, but it could have been a lot worse,” general manager Ken Holland said.

On Sunday Johan Franzen was taken for an MRI, it revealed no ligament tear or damage, but did show a Grade 2 sprain. This is the second consecutive season that Johan Franzen is out with an injury, last season he again suffered an early season knee injury. Keeping him off the ice for again 3-4 weeks.

Johan Franzen was off to a great start this season for the Detroit Red Wings scoring 5 goals in 8 games, on pace for 51 goals this season.

“It’s disappointing for Johan,” Holland said. “He was off to such a good start.”

Well just have to wait and see when he comes back if he continues on this torrid pace. If you have Johan Franzen on your fantasy hockey team, don’t be scared to bench him or place him on the IR if you have that option available in your fantasy hockey league. Do not waive Johan Franzen!!!! When he comes back he will be sure to be a big contributor to your fantasy hockey team.

—————————————————————-

With a week to go before the season opener, the Warriors’ $50 million free agent, Corey Maggette, was sitting on the floor during Wednesday’s practice, an ice pack over his right leg.

Maggette has a strained hamstring, serious enough that he was to have an MRI exam late Wednesday. He said he’ll also sit out today’s practice but expects to play when the Warriors open the season against New Orleans on Wednesday night.

“Oh, yeah,” he said. “That never crossed my mind that I won’t play Wednesday. I’ve got a lot of time.”

Maggette averaged 22.1 points for the Clippers last season but missed several games with a strained right hamstring (he appeared in 70 of 82 games). He said his current injury is different because it’s higher in the leg but added, “Hamstrings are probably the trickiest injuries” because a primary treatment is rest.

The forward said he “tweaked” the hamstring in Saturday’s exhibition in China, but he played Tuesday’s exhibition against a Lithuanian club team, collecting 17 points and five rebounds in 26 minutes. He had five turnovers, wasn’t at his best defensively and said he wasn’t able to drive with power.

So he’s skipping two practices, though he suited up Wednesday and shot lots of free throws.
