 I think the bigger story is the other 9-12 players all Did get the flu shot and miraculously none of them got the flu or had any problems after! (i'm being sarcastic) :)

yea i wonder why they just all dont get flu shots?  I know the flu shots dont always work but it wouldnt hurt to have the whole team get them.

Silly stuff. They should get the shots or get docked pay.

Airborne doesn't do anything. Anecdotal testimony is way too prone to confirmation bias to take seriously. Take nothing and you will eventually get better. Same with Airborne.

Flu shots are not without risks. They could be allergic to the vaccine or part of it. Rare diseases like Guillain-Barre syndrome have been linked to the flu shot.

No KG, No Scal and No Tony. Could this mean big minutes from Powe, BBD and Bill Walker? Could we see Giddens in garbage time?
God forbid, Powe has regressed...don;t know whats going on with him...

I was also amazed that KG is in his 14th year but has missed only 37 games. Pretty impressive.

Didn't Indiana have about 3 players in the hospital for the flu last month? I hope the rest of the team especially the bigs stays healthy.

With all the silliness in contracts these days, shouldn't flu shots be mandatory?  Law mercy!   ::)

as someone above me just pointed out, flu shots are low risk, but still a health risk.

No one should be forced to risk their health for a shot that isn't even 100% effective.

whats with the speculation he didnt get the flu shot?  we dont know whether he did or not.  it is possible to get the flu, even if you get the vaccination.

info has come out since my post.  i stand corrected.
