Channing Frye (dislocated shoulder) said that he is "50/50" to play in Friday's game against the Warriors. He went through a full practice on Thursday, which may be the best sign of all for his chances, especially after he spoke about the risks of coming back too early on Wednesday.

Andrew Bynum reiterated after Thursday's practice that he is not "fully healthy," citing fluid buildup in his right knee that he takes anti-inflammatory medication to treat. He also said that it's "fun" to play the way he is right now, and that his goal is "to block as many shots as possible." He isn't playing like a guy that is hurt, but like any 7-footer with a history of knee injuries, it's a situation to be monitored no matter how incidental it seems.

Kobe Bryant (ankle) left Thursday's practice "without a limp," and is expected to play on Friday against the Wolves. Phil Jackson said the ankle remains swollen, but that Kobe "feels he can play." At this point, it would be surprising if he didn't go. Mar. 17 - 5:16 p.m. ET Source: Orange County Register
Baron Davis is planning on returning to the court for the Cav's on Thursday against Portland. The report doesn't give any information regarding playing time or who will start, but this is a big step in the right direction for Davis. Mar. 17 - 9:10 p.m. ET Source: Mary Schmitt Boyer
