Just when you thought all was well with Rasheed Wallace, he misses the bus to the team's shootaround in Memphis this morning. Supposedly, Wallace is feeling ill and stayed in his hotel room.

Coach Flip Saunders says he'll start Jason Maxiell in place of Wallace. The Grizzlies have two 7-footers starting -- Pau Gasol and ex-Piston Darko Milicic -- so Wallace's absence from the lineup could lead to a slow start.
