He'll have an MRI in Boston tomorrow.
I'm wondering why they couldn't do it today? I have had an MRI it's not as if it depends on swelling levels and all that.
I think it probably has more to do with them being in Atlanta, and since he is not playing tonight no matter what, there is no reason to fly him home a day early just to do it, or having it done in Atlanta, where it might be more expensive, and more complicated than if they just wait until Saturday, and do it at the affiliated hospital, with the team doctor, etc.
Essentially, they can save some cash, without really losing, or risking anything.
