NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks
February 10, 2012Setting the Lines for the 2012 Indians
February 10, 2012The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed PG Ben Uzoh to a 10-day contract. The Cavaliers have been playing short-handed with injuries to Anthony Parker, Daniel Gibson (who returned Wednesday) and now Kyrie Irving due to a concussion. With games tonight and tomorrow, and Irving’s status still in the air, the Cavaliers needed a PG.
In 12 games (all starts), Uzoh has averaged 16.8 points on .525 shooting, 6.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.8 steals in 34.4 minutes per game with the Vipers. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound point guard was named the D-League Performer of the Week for games played Jan. 16-22 after averaging 22.3 points on .651 shooting, 8.3 assists and 7.3 rebounds in 37.0 minutes and leading Rio Grande Valley to a perfect 3-0 week. He scored a season-high 31 points to go with 10 assists for his first double-double of the season in a 116-104 road win over the Reno Bighorns on Jan. 21.
The 23-year-old from Tulsa spent the 2010-11 season with the New Jersey Nets, playing in 42 games and posting averages of 3.8 points on .424 shooting, 1.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 10.4 minutes per game.
(UPDATE: the team has confirmed PG Kyrie Irving will miss tonight and tomorrow with his concussion.)

I feel a drinking game coming on.
ok, im officially in panic mode about the KIncussion
on a side note Ben Uzoh’s wikipedia page already has him listed as member of the CAvs
Panic mode? Why?
Panic mode? Why?
see Sidney Crosby, Justim Morneau etc.
Seems premature for that. If he ends up missing a lot of time, I can see that concern coming up. But missing 4 days?
