Am I mistaken, or hasn't Brandon Roy always had knee issues? Doesn't he have something fundamentally wrong with at least one of his knees? Or was it a foot?

Or am I thinking of Randy Foye?

Possibly Randy Foye, although Roy's had a couple injuries in the past, though I'm not sure the cause.

But Foye's had knee problem last season, missing more than half the season from the start.
Anything is possible!!!

Not Foye, Roy.

He has always had foot issues, and there was speculation that this was one reason DA passed on drafting Roy and traded for Telfair instead.  Roy is clearly the better player, but if he is limited in the games he plays per year, then doesn't help his team much (see: Vince Carter and every non-championship team he has played for. Hint: this is all the teams he has ever played for...)
