Seattle star Ray Allen left the SuperSonics' game against the Los Angeles Lakers late in the first period Sunday night because of a sprained right ankle. Is this an epidemic today?
Duncan too, and they really hurt. It is hard to play for several games after a bad sprain. And even for some time after it is "well," it feels like it is going to happen again and sometimes does. At the NBA level, it is tough to get going again ie. Kobe Bryant.
Well they have like a 9 game lead on the Nuggets so they shouldnt be too worried unless his injury is really serious (like missing 4-5 weeks).
They have a 10 game lead with 17 to go. Their magic number is 7 to win the division, their magic number is 3 to make the playoffs. I don't think they're worried about the playoffs, they're worried about Allen being healthy in the playoffs. An 80% Juwan would be ok for us. We need him mobile, but more importantly, his ability to hit open jumpers. If Allen's ankle is hurt, and he can't elevate or accelerate like he usually can, that's a much bigger blow. More importantly, they're our current round 1 match up.
yup jesus shuttleworth hurt his ankle today, lucky for them it happened now instead of during or close to the playoffs.
I sprained my ankle last week, too. It's taken about a week and half to heal. Must be something in the water.
