Dwight Howard receives bone marrow aspirate injection in his right knee

What about Enes Kanter!? The Jazz are shopping him and Papanikolaou's contract is enough to make the money work maybe adding a draft pick would sweeten the deal. Kanter is 22 he's averaging 14pts 8 rebs he's alot better than Dorsey and I think Rockets could get him for fairly cheap.

 

Rockets pr first said it was knee edema, possibly omitting the most severe medical diagnosis in the MRI report. Now, it can be deduced that there was also structural damages (why would you need a procedure to treat osteoarthritis?).

Bottom line is that we all love our Rockets, but one really trust them what they say irt to players health? We must take whatever they say with a boulder of salt.

 

Kanter would be a good and realistic pickup for the team. Agree on him being way better than Dorsey. The only thing I don't like from his game is that he tends to get pushed around on the boards from time to time.

 

How about Dwight gets some post moves injection and some free throw injections, too?

 

j*zz watt u da idiot.

 

True true... But honestly I'm so tired of seeing Dorsey lol and Atleast Kanter is a threat to score. It's literally 4 on 5 when Dorsey is on the court. I'm surprised Hou fans haven't brought up Kanter given the Jazz have been open about wanting to move him and it's no surprise that Hou has a huge whole behind Howard. I think it's a no brainer

 

How about we trade Dwight for Tarik Black?

 

Everyone is overreacting out of their minds. Kanter? A black hole in defence with **** hands that doesn't know what means to pass? And who will want a max?
Better go sign Dalembert for the month that Dwight is out.

 

Ok so does he have a bone bruise or thinning cartilage? Is the bone bruise related to the thin cartilage? Are they using this recovery period from the bone bruise as an opportunity to do this bone marrow aspirate therapy?

 

I laughed.

 

he has what Dr. Kevin McHale calls....a "sore knee"

 

but more seriously...

sounds very very bad.. Rockets curse continues..

Yao, Tmac, Dwight...

 

Well there goes our season. I swear we have the worst luck in the NBA. Maybe not as bad as Portland in terms of big men with injuries, but damn

 

We don't know and from what I have heard from employees, the Rockets are not sure what to expect, and if they do know how severe Howard's injury is, no one is talking about it. It really seems like the Rockets are just going to wait and see. I can tell you this doesn't have the feeling of Yao when he was injured, atleast not at the Toyota Center.

 

So strange....thanks for the info.

 

Avergaing 14 and 8 in the NBA isn't too shabby... I'm not saying the guy is great but I think he would be a good back up? He's not gonna get max money. Nobody would even consider giving him that. And people are overreacting? I think Howard will be back in time for playoffs but the Rockets play 11 playoff teams out of their next 13 games so it's not like we gotta buncha easy games. Even when Howard gets back it'd be good to have a big guy backing him up and not some undersized guy to help rest dwight more. In order to sign Dalembert Rockets would have to waive someone and that's not gonna happen... So it'll have to be via trade.

 

I didn't

 

Well, just hope that he is not another version of Yao, and Tmac. Houston, you have a problem to keep your top players health and injury-free.

 

Maybe people are missing the tweets from Berman that quote the doctor, so here they are. Doesn't sound devastating to me...
