Add one more to the injured list. Gerald Wallace has a torn meniscus. #celticstalk

[slamtheking]

how'd that happen? 

[D.o.s.]

A)Source?

B) That's a bummer for Wallace.

[crownontherocks]

To recap: Wallace likely done for season (knee), Faverani may need surgery, Olynyk doubtful for Sat, Bradley reexamined next week

Washburn

how'd that happen?

Apparently he has been playing in pain for a while, and they just did the MRI.

I think this might hurt their tanking efforts.

stinks for wallace.....been a rough year for him.....hopefully he can comeback next year when the team is better



BUT means more minutes for Chris Johnson and Babb! I wanna see what these 2 guys can develop into! 

[fairweatherfan]

Tough break for Wallace, but at least it probably means less griping out of him.

Does this leave us with just Green and Johnson as guys who can play the 3? 

Also, what's the feasibility or practical use of getting an injury exception for this?

[BleedGreen1989]

Says he's been playing with bone spurs in his ankle as well and was going to need surgery this summer for that issue...then they found the torn meniscus.

So ankle surgery and knee surgery.

Possible that Wallace just became even MORE untradeable?

For his personal sake, I hope for a speedy recovery.

Actually, he's been pretty good recently. Not $10 million good, but solid.

[VitorSullyandKOFan]

[dang] he was playing much better lately. I was actually enjoying his play.

I'm not so sure about that.

I think losing him as a rotation SF/PF will hurt the team more than help. I mean is Joel Anthony now taking up the backup PF minutes, or an even larger role?

Now stopping the nonsense of him at SG will help the team.

[Evantime34]

I think it's time for him to think about if he wants to continue playing basketball. Maybe he can retire and get his contract off the books.

Ainge said Wallace is "done for the year." Wallace will address media tomorrow.

[ssspence]

darn it. we need him in there. Chris Babb (any other d-leaguer) is a better player and therefore will increase our chance of winning games.

That was (mostly) a joke.
