[Injury Update] Beverley and Jones out for at least a week 11/7/2014

I cannot deny that your dude Garcia clearly does have it.

He is borderline crap in the regular season, and semi decent in the playoffs.

He was a stats padder in the FIBA games but not in the NBA

 

At least DMo didn't play any worse than TJ (the last two games).

 

yeah bill said TJones didnt look good as of yesterday, so we may not see tjones for a little while longer

 

"Didn't look good"? I wonder what he meant by that. Oh well, I hope he's not out too much longer. I guess they'll be fine without him for another couple weeks until that Kings game. Looking at the schedule, the only truly tough opponents between now and then are the road game at Memphis and home against the Mavs(although playing at OKC is never a cakewalk).

 

Really worried about Jones. He adds a dimension to our starting unit that no other player can replicate.

Him being out will cost us against good teams.

 

18 of 28 3pt shooting for 64% is not stat padding. That's simply fantastic shooting. Sixty. Four. Percent.

 

[rQUOTEr]Point guard Pat Beverley and power forward Terrence Jones were scheduled to be re-evaluated on Friday. Beverley seems closer to a return from his strained hamstring after going on the Mexico City trip and picking up the workload in his rehab of a strained left hamstring. Jones remained in Houston, out with a bruise of a nerve near his right knee.

The Rockets could not establish a timetable for Beverley's return until they saw how he would respond to the extra work put in Tuesday and Wednesday. After he came back from the injury last week only to go back out again, the Rockets will likely wait for a practice on Saturday to test his progress and then would have to weigh whether Beverley (and possibly Jones) could return to play both games in a back-to-back.

I recall someone posting in the game thread yesterday that Jones would be out for quite some time (don't recall the month mentioned).
Any have any credible timeline on when he'll be back?
Is it time for Morey to go out and get another PF?

 

Jones has a condition known as "drop-foot".

He could be out 8 weeks total. As crazy as it sounds, nerve injuries heal at different paces. None ever the same.

 

If it gets D-mo and Papa going and we continue to win, i don't mind if Jones takes his time coming back. I am a huge T Jones fan and he should play 28+mpg but if bench pieces like D-mo and Papa become bigger parts of the bench by playing i am all for it

 

Where did you get that info from?

 

Kid on my basketball team growing up had it.

Couldn't play for two months. It can be pretty serious.

I am under the assumption that 8 weeks is extremely severe, but Jones has already been out 2 weeks, and Bill has stated that it didn't look good.

Hmmm. Be prepared.

 

Yeah was just wondering where it said Terrence Jones had that specifically but I found that online. It's an injury to the peroneal nerve which is responsible for the dorsiflexion of the foot (lifting foot towards your body). Learned about it in med school. He probably got hit real hard on the lateral aspect of his lower leg and sustained damage to the nerve? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_drop

 

Yeah Jones seems like he will be out for awhile. I'm betting Bevs is back next week but it will be after our road trip I'd assume

 

The way I heard it, Jones has a peroneal nerve injury. Not all peroneal injuries involve drop foot.

 

Our record will not be hurt by Terrence's absence.

 

it's an opportunity for donuts to step up... hell, he can take Jones' starting spot by excelling... "IT'S OURS TO TAKE, SO LET'S TAKE IT!" -watt

 

not to be confused with "drop-step", which TJ definitely does not have.
