martynas andriuskevicius is never expected to play basketball again.

it says that everything's pretty uncertain...from 2 months to never again. So I wouldn't says he's "never expected to play again" yet..

 

talk about jacked up

 

That's just messed up. I hope he gets better.

 

no lawsuit against storey ... strange considering that this guy may have destroyed his career

 

A vicious thread title.

 

Wasn't this guy drafted top 10?

 

"It's not going to help me anyway," Andriuskevicius said, according to the Tribune. "God is going to take care of it."


I know many of you believe different, but this is a very powerful statement to me. He'll be okay.

 

I would like to know the words that were exchanged.. If he didn't say anything bad like he said he said then Storey needs to be banned from the league...

Even if what he said was bad you just don't pull a Carmello and blindside punch someone, thats wrong no matter what.. you let them know "Hey I'm about to beat your @$$" if you say anything more.

and because of that Storey should have a lifetime ban anyways.

 

yes i've read that, sounds good ... but imo his agent will remind him that many $$$ are at stake here ...

 

Just saw Bill Murray making fun of this guy on NBA TV's "Tuesday Night with Ahmad." Bill said he saw an interview with Andriuskevicius and he reminded him of the guy from Sin City that bled yellow.

Ahmad, Patrick Ewing, and Darvin Ham laughed. It was messed up.

 

I saw this dude in the D-League playing against the Toros. Man that sucks.
Why on earth would someone start a fight in the D-League? That guy should be banned forever.

 

Awvee Storey will never play professional basketball again.

 

this Storey **** should put to jail man, Sucker punch a teammate when someone already turned his head. i really dont understand andriuskevicius's forgiveness. Maybe oneday I'll see God then I understand.

 

Him forgiving Storey is a great act, but the NBA/DL has no reason to forgive such actions. Sets a bad example and players will think they can get away with crap like that, and hell Storey might even do something like this again.

Storey punch leads to serious injury

December 23, 2006
BY ROMAN MODROWSKI Staff Reporter
Martynas Andriuskevicius, whom the Bulls recently assigned to the National Basketball Development League's Dakota Wizards, is lucky to be alive today after being punched by Awvee Storey, a Proviso West product and Wizards teammate.

The altercation took place during practice Thursday. The 7-2, 240-pound Andriuskevicius, 20, spent Thursday night in intensive care in Bismarck, N.D.

''He has a skull fracture, severe concussion and a two-centimeter hematoma on the left side of his brain,'' Andriuskevicius' agent Herb Rudoy said. ''They've been monitoring him because they're concerned about seizures.

''From what I'm told, when he got hit unexpectedly, he went out cold instantly and fell right back on his head.''

The 6-6, 225-pound Storey has been suspended indefinitely while the NBA and NBDL investigate.

There's also been a police report written, according to Det. Dean Clarkson. But Clarkson said Andriuskevicius does not want to press charges, making an arrest unlikely. Clarkson said the investigation is pending.

''Awvee's a terrific kid,'' said his Chicago-based agent Mark Bartelstein. ''They had an altercation in practice, and it's really unfortunate.

''I know Awvee feels terrible about it. It wasn't a situation where he just attacked the kid.''

One source said Storey said something to Andriuskevicius, who went over to Storey and got punched.

''He's lucky he's not dead,'' Rudoy said. ''But I think he'll be fine.

''He won't be playing basketball for a long time. They have to be very concerned about his skull fracture healing.''

Rudoy expects Andriuskevicius to be released from the hospital in the next few days and return to Chicago for further examination.

Bulls general manager John Paxson called Andriuskevicius on Friday morning, and Bulls doctors are monitoring the situation.

Storey and Washington Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas were arrested over Memorial Day weekend in Miami Beach for refusing to obey police. The charges later were dropped.

-------------------------------------

Hmmm, so Storey was the guy Arenas was arrested with while holding traffic. Anyway, the injury sounds rough. I've never really heard of anybody ending their careers because of a head injury - then again, most never live after getting a serious knock to the head.

 

Thatsreallysad. Thatsreallyreallyunfortunate.

 

I can see the other guy getting a lifetime ban. NBA teams are already hesistant enough about assigning players to the nbdl for other reasons.

 

just realized that storey was the guy whith whom arenas was arrested last season

btw is there any update on andriuskevicius ?

 

Its good to here that Martynas is going to be alright, things could have been alot worse then simply having to face the possibility of not playing basketball again.

This is an awful story about Awvee Storey
