Injury Updates - KO, Horford, and Crowder

So, this is concerning. This was a very shady interview full of avoidance and misdirection from Horford about his injury and status. He said he's "not at liberty to discuss a lot of things regarding his progress and symptoms." He also seems doubtful for tomorrow night, and it seems like this was a much bigger deal than was originally let on. Almost seems like KG in 2009 all over again with his knee.

This worry anyone else?

I'm fairly concerned, it's been two weeks since then and not much information as been leaked to how he got the concussion in practice

I'm not that concerned, at least regarding the silence.  Concussions are very much a day-to-day thing, so there's not much to say.  And the Celtics are a notoriously tight-lipped organization to begin with, so I'm not surprised we don't know much in the way of details.

I'm fairly certain Horford made the recent road trip, and flying with a concussion is a big no-no if you haven't shown improvement, so I'm going to guess that Horford is getting better.  Now, that could mean he's two days away for two more weeks, because that's how recovery from concussions go sometimes.  I expect him to return for the Warriors game at the earliest and the Spurs game at the latest.  If it goes longer than the Spurs, I will join everyone in the anxiety camp.

This.

I knew it!

Yeah, I'm annoyed at Zeller.  I'm betting he's the one who gave Horford the concussion.

I'm having a hard time picturing how Horford (or anyone) could get a concussion from a collision with somebody's shoulder.  Elbow, head, knee, kick, punch, I can understand, but shoulder?  Can someone draw me a diagram or something?

Not that hard. Inadvertently lower your head into someone who's turning -- it won't be fundamentally different from elbowing someone in the head.

Looking back at my posts, looks like you got a few days lead on me. What is fair is fair, TP.
