I have a video of him icing it under a towel. Also one of when he first called the trainer over to look at it and asked him how bad the swelling looked.
Hope CP3 is ok. We can't afford to lose him for a longer stretch this late in the season. Thank God that the Allstar break came at the perfect time. We need him at full strength going into the playoffs.
D'Antoni always say that. "Nothing to worry about, he could've came back in". Gordon, Ariza, and Paul ended being out extended periods of time.
Definitely something worth keeping an eye on - especially because we are rolling into something like 10 of 12 games after the all star break against playoff teams. Maybe even give him a game or two off at the start of that string of games to give Chris a few weeks+ to heal.
It's obvious he couldn't have come in if he's still nursing after the game in the locker room. D'antoni is just guessing.
Banged his hand? Well, it IS Valentine's day. Media conspiracy. D'antoni benched him for passing up a 3 pointer and taking a long 2.
Let's hope its just a bruise and this time off will give him time to get the swelling down and heal. If not, we have enough firepower for him to miss a few games. Just need him hitting on all speeds when its play-offs.
Hand injurys are the worst. I remember my first hand injury forced me to tak to Fat Erica to cope back in HS.
I won’t lie, he looked concerned and the training staff did too. I was just lucky to be a few feet from them.
