    Well, at least it isn't a tear. Hope he will be okay. Poor awareness by the Rockets not to stop play and get him out of there IMO.

    He played on for a while, so don't think it's anything serious.

    Hate to be a downer but it is very possible it's a tear, calling something a strain seems like the cautious thing to say at first glance, we should know more tomorrow if he gets in for an MRI depending on the severity. Papa is such a treat to watch I really hope it's a minor injury.

    Damn man. That's a shame. Hopefully he can recover quickly and will be without any problems for the rest of the season. He's an important player to us, especially with half of our team out.

    Don't want to sound cynical, but players can generally play a bit through some of the more extreme surgeries. We won't know until the MRI results come in

    Looked like it could have involved a ligament to me. How I'm wrong.

    No back-up PF + ugly offense w/o Harden just got uglier.

    On the other hand,

    Dwight
    Jones
    Papa
    Beverley
    Canaan

    That can be 6th seed in the East!

    I hope it's not too serious, but it sure looked bad.

    Papa was really starting to fit in. I hope he keeps playing because I think he will improve over the next couple months as he learns the NBA game a bit better. He has shown a lot of skill so far.
