Doc Concerned about Paul Pierce's Heel

[Drucci]

Hopefully it's nothing serious and Pierce is able to play for opening day but... it really sucks to get hit with these concerning injury reports considering the season hasn't even started yet.

We're not alone...Lakers share our injury bug.

From M. Stein's twitter:

Lakers listing Kobe as day-to-day, but his injured right wrist has been officially diagnosed as a torn lunotriquetral ligament after MRI

I read about this from a Laker friend of mine but didn't think it was true. Oh well, the Lakers not winning a championship this year is part of what I want to see.

Sasha Pavolvic likely to start tonight for Paul Pierce. Doc: "it's leaning" towards Pierce being out Sunday. C's-Raptors 7pm WEEI/NBA.com

I hope Doc is just kidding around tonight starting Sasha. If he starts Sunday against the Knicks pp

This doesn't sound like ordinary heel pain. Pierce may have plantar faciitis.

Sasha will be fine. He'll play his role.

Probably true. 

However, the real question is where we'll be come playoff time. 

I think we can expect some bumps in the road with this team due to age.  However, we got royally screwed last year in terms of health, as the one guy who shouldn't have had any health problems due to age (Rondo) got nailed hard (literally). 

As long as this team is close to 100% come playoff time, I think we've got a shot.
