Update 9/27: After undergoing surgery on his thumb, Glen Davis will miss six-to-eight weeks.

Injuries, for professional basketball players, are sometimes just an unfortunate part of the business. You can't help it if an injury is sustained in practice, or even during a preseason game, if you're going out and giving maximum effort for the team that pays you millions of dollars to do so.

But what about off the court, when a player isn't doing anything related to basketball? That's when some personal discretion might come into play, and apparently, the Celtics' Glen Davis doesn't have any. Because he reportedly sustained a "non-basketball" injury, which, according to at least one report, just might keep him out for the entire season.

Bouncin' Around is NBA FanHouse's weekly insider notebook.

NBA assistant coach Tim Grgurich is holding his annual summer camp in Las Vegas this week. And believe it, what happens at that camp is going to stay at that camp.

It's Grgurich's way.

About 60 NBA players -- from soon-to-be rookies to veterans -- are taking part in the camp, which is held in a high school gym. The camp also has become a showcase for rising assistant coaches, who just like players, are hoping to catch the eye of a GM or front office type. And there are plenty of them there.

Free-agent time should be like Christmas for these under-30 former first-round picks. If they had played better, stayed healthy or fulfilled their potential, they would be cashing in on new contracts or contract extensions. Instead they are fighting for their NBA lives, afterthoughts in free-agent time, hoping to find one interested team for another opportunity to stay in the league.

The alternative might be Europe or perhaps even the NBDL. With each NBA team holding on tight to free-agent dollars because of the economy and the 2010 free-agent class, contracts -- especially lucrative ones -- will be difficult to procure. So while names such as Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva, Trevor Ariza and Hedo Turkoglu will fill the offseason newswires, these 10 players will be searching for work in virtual obscurity.

Here is the list and their stories:

Every night there are some stupendous, silly, stupid, or downright outlandish individual lines from around the "lig." Doing Lines lets you know which one tops the list.

Will Bynum wins Sunday. Matt Watson has his story.

LeBron James, however, also didn't disappoint. Against a (typically) phenomenal defense, The Chosen One racked up 38 points on 21 FGAs, and added seven rebounds and six assists. All of that in 36 minutes.

It is a good thing for Roger Federer that he isn't a woman. Or maybe it is too bad that Candace Parker is. After all, they are in the same boat, but in very different classes of travel. Federer is in first, while Parker appears to be in stowage.

The ship both are sailing on is the Love Boat. Federer announced happily on his Web site Thursday that he is about to become a father. Parker is pictured on the cover of ESPN the Magazine scheduled for release on Friday in full bloom – pregnant.

Federer is not married. Parker is -- now.

In December, news broke that the WNBA's Jordan -- Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks -- had eloped in Reno with fiancée Shelden Williams. The couple had been engaged forever, and the timing seemed odd. A month later, Parker confirmed reports that she was pregnant with her first child. A plan to spend four months playing in Russia during the offseason (for $1 million, no less) went in the drawer, and it's not clear if Parker (due this spring) will suit up for the Sparks this season.

The suspicion would be that the couple didn't plan to have a baby right now. Parker is the subject of the cover story in ESPN The Magazine this week, where she tells Allison Glock that the pregnancy was as much of a shock to her as it was everyone else. (The full cover can be seen after the jump.)

At some point, Dwyane Wade's wings will melt, for he flies too close to the sun. Another 40-point night for Flash -- 42, to be exact, on 17-of-23 shooting. He added eight assists, six rebounds and (an unfortunate) eight turnovers.

Wade has broken the 35-point threshold in four straight games, and topped 40 in three of those. Since the All-Star Break, he has averaged better than 36 points per game on 58 percent shooting with 10 assists to boot. Wade is, for lack of a better word, insane. He has a great shot to not only win the scoring title, but to get over 30 ppg. You think someone wants that fourth seed?

The 3 PM ET trade deadline in the NBA has come and gone, and while there were plenty of big names rumored to be on the move, few teams actually had the guts to pull the trigger. There were plenty of deals made, however, including one that might have one Eastern Conference team feeling like it's back in the title conversation. A wrap-up of today's events after the jump.

The Atlanta Hawks, in a move designed to make a serious playoff push, have agreed in principle to trade Tyronne Lue, Anthony Johnson, Shelden Williams and Lorenzen Wright to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Mike Bibby, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

The deal is expected to be finalized Saturday afternoon, a person familiar with the situation told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Officials from the Hawks, Kings and NBA will participate in a 4 p.m. conference call.

Wait. What? I was under the impression that teams were not allowed to make trades over the All Star Weekend (hence the whole simma-donna-ing of the Jason Kidd to Dallas talks), but hey, it's Saturday, let's get nuts.

This is actually a very good trade for both teams, on a number of levels. First of all, the Hawks might have their point guard of the future in Acie Law already on the roster, but in order to make a playoff push this year they need a veteran presence in the clubhouse and handling the ball. Bibby provides just that; this is a Hawks team that is more talented than its record.
