NEVERMIND. I finally got my eyes on that video and it sounded little different than what online sites were quoting. The original source did say he had "pinched nerve", but the chick (female) on the TV made it sound weird, I am pretty sure she meant he's not playing because of the the back problems that are still lingering after previous injury. It doesn't look like the same injury again. A little relief
This article is just quoting what the sports lady said on TV. I saw what she said, and even though she said DMo has pinched nerve, I am pretty sure she meant DMo isn't playing because of back problems and she didn't know what problems specifically, so she just repeated the diagnosis of previous injury, making it sound like it happened again. To me it didn't sound like any new update, rather clarification that DMo isn't playing. And she also said DMo and Rockets are not commenting on the injury, so how could she know what's wrong. False alarm.
"Can't train with team", "Training by him self".. how he can training if he's can't move back? "Media's breaking(rumors) news"
Total BS news. If they say it's black it's red for sure. Reliable sources JB interview 10d ago. It's totally made up news to get kids attention. Disregard , same BS Howard and James eating alone.
Uh.. It does sound like she's just repeating the previous diagnosis although it's not entirely clear. Yet every ****ing news portal quoted the "pinched nerve" part. God ****ing damn it, if this is false alarm I'm gonna find her and kick her ass
FALSE ALARM There has not been any updates on DMo. Lithuanian media over exaggerated while quoting each other while the original source was simply saying that DMo isn't playing (plus adding irresponsible clickbait material).
And that's why I don't generally believe Lithuanian news sources, they don't have any inside information and the language barrier often causes some ridiculous mistakes.
Actually LNK is the most trust worthy media outlet in Lithuania, when it comes to sports. That's why I took it for granted, when other media outlet were quoting them. The problem was they misquoted the original source and the original source misinformed by accident.
Breaking news the same media after two hours: According DMo he has inflammation of muscle and will back on court soon..
Doesn't say it's muscle inflammation but the area where he had surgery on. By the way, DMo says he might go back to D-league so he can back into shape.
Well, it's one way to get info. You leak false shocking info and DMo has to come out and deny it. Good guy unqualified media.
Same here, I think that's what should have been done the first time and IMO more athletes should use the D league to get into game shape when coming back from injury.

So was DMo. But Rockets refused to send him to D-League (early December), they said recovering while playing in NBA games will be better.
