  This should put a damper on all the "trade Semih for a small forward" posts...

wow, strained mcl doesn't sound very good. I hope it doesn't linger too long.

[Redz]

was afraid of that

if this doesn't fully heal by the playoffs we may be finished because the Oneals already look cooked.

Ain't this a B-I-E-I itch! Why us?

Hopefully its not a severe enough strain to keep him out that long!

this is what happens when you rush players back from injury. They were put in a tough positions because of injuries, but Perk originally wasn't supposed to come back  until march . You can easily hurt something else if you are trying to take any stress off one leg and put it on the other.

This plus the rushing back of delonte really has me scratching my head about the C's medical staff.

Add in the JO signing and the medical staff looks like they are doing a horrible job.

Oh heck.  this is not good.  Danny's going to earn his money in the next 17 hours!

WOW

psst pss Shaq get off your lazy butt and give us a few minutes maybe Perk wouldnt have to shoulder the load and this might have been prevented 

[barefacedmonk]

Bummer! His status (day to day) is atleast a bit encouraging.

Stephen Curry ran into him while he set a screen and their knees banged into each other. Its a pretty big leap to draw the connection between the two, especially when you can see exactly how it happened.

As for Delonte, are they supposed to let him just try and come back in the playoffs? I mean if we want him to be in our top 8, he has to get on the court for us sometime soon. There are only 28 games left!

yea, I saw the play and thought it might be something like this, but after the update they gave, it didn't sound too bad, bruised knee. Strained mcl though can end up being pretty bad.

I agree with you about Delonte, the guy needs to get in rhythm and is running out of time. We need him ready to go in april because Nate is a disaster. I still cringe seeing him with tha brace on his right wrist though.
