Kostas Papanikolaou leaves game with knee strain 12/5/2014 (Updated: Video, Early Diagnosis)

Ugh. Don't like these options. Ariza is already playing 37 mins per game. Don't want to see him go any higher.

Need jones/Howard back ASAP. In the meantime I think you run DMo most mins at PF and go Black/Dorsey at center.

 

Hope it's nothing serious with kPap. He is a leader on this team and he's a rookie. Dude has winner written all over him.

 

that might be the three worst options I've ever heard of.

 

why the hell was keith jones just sitting there the entire time? dude was clearly limping around and wincing in pain. should have atleast subbed him out.

 

Bummer to see him injured. He's been a lot of fun to watch.

And his name is just fun to say!

 

pshhh more like the bulls are the rockets of the east. we've been losing stars to injury waaaay before it was cool.

 

+1

I was wondering the same.

Looks like we all saw it before Keith and that's NOT a good thing.

 

Let Popeye rest! Once he gets back on his daily dose of spinach he'll be good to go!

I really don't want him rushing or forcing to come back to play.

Hope all our injured players come back soon but stronger and healthier.

 

Both of these options make me want to leap from a window.

 

I am pretty sure they were aware of it, you cannot just sub someone in, they have to go and check in at the scorers table and check in at the next dead ball.

 

Morey should call up Earl Clark

 

who is keith jones and why is he pretending to be the teams trainer for all these years? where is the real trainer at huh? what are they doing over there?

 

I believe the Lakers picked him up.

 

Sprained ankle, pulled hamstring, strained knee one caused by accident. I'm trying to figure out what magical powers a trainer must posses to avoid these injuries who are clearly his doing

 

I'm curious to know how Keith Jones can prevent guys from knocking knees.

 

He was just playing 2 days ago for the Vipers.

 

Lakers were "on the verge" of signing him as of last week, according to Woj.

 

still isnt official... i think we should pick him up, he just won D-league player of the month.

 

ummm the result of the play was two free throws so they had about a full min to sub him out of the game instead they left him in, they got the off rebound and papa couldnt even move and it helped them get a wide open 3 for brewer. So the had plenty plenty of time to sub him out right after injury.

 

For all the people harping on Keith Jones, it looked initially like Papanikolaou was wanting to stay in the game, so they didn't call time, but once the defense started to get setup it became clear he needed to come out.
