Kyle Lowry suffers right elbow injury (with video)

Johnny Flynn better step up.

 

Flynn has a nice sized expiring contract for a trade. The Pacers also offered the #10 pick in the draft for him after his rookie year. He averaged 14 - 5 on the year as a rookie, not just three games against terrible defensive teams...

 

That was a totally different look than we got on the NBA TV feed, that looked horrible......not a bumped elbow but a strain or maybe even a tear.

Didn't Barkley tear his shooting elbow in the playoffs against Utah?

Man I hope Lowry has just strained it......

I really think this schedule is leading to bizarre injuries.

Gallinari is another example

I'm not really sure what to make of it.

 

Well, the rest of the team will have to step it up in Kyle's absence.

Dang injuries, now that the team was starting to gel. I swear if Les has made a pact with the Devil and broke it...

 

How bad are hyperextensions? As in the recovery rate.

 

I say let Kyle rest and give terrence a shot at backup pg

 

our team is so deep. we may not have stars but we are very well equipped to deal with short term injuries.
dragic will be fine for phx.

 

Jeremy Lin curse, I knew it

 

That sounds ok, hyperextension is not a tear, or at least not a complete tear.

Ugh I hope Flynn is ready

 

Well, I remember watching Rondo playing with a hyper-extended elbow during a game and knowing how tough Lowry is, i'd think he won't be out for too long. Then again, idk how bad he extended that elbow so who knows, just being oprimistic.

 

Damn it...

All I remember about the last elbow strain on the Rockets was Tmac taking it to the next level and calling it a tear.

Good times, good times.

hard to say, i'm surprised at how much pain he seemed to be, considering no one hit him...that's the good thing though, there wasn't an outside force causing it, like another player's weight or that could have been pretty bad...

 

Jason Friedman confirms a hyper extended elbow, find out tomorrow about availability.

 

the 24 second shot clock isn't.
