    I noticed right when he came into the game for the first time he has a knee brace on. I haven't seen him wear one yet this season (missed last game so he could of had it last game). I waited to post to see how he would play. He's playing great (has more than half our team points in the 2nd quarter) but he is definately not as explosive. So far I have seen him lay a shot in when he was right under the basket. Granted a guy was right in front of him but Landry had pump faked him off his feet and he would have dunked that in other instances. Then he had a wide open lane to the baskjet. He dunked but barely got over the rim, used two hands, didn't celebrate, and didn't throw it down hard. It's obviously not serious because he's having one of his best games so far but it does raise the alarm and is affecting him some.

    He doesn't look as explosive. Still playing good. But not as agressive on the boards.

    Landry with 17 pts in 23 minutes! I wish Adelman kept him in to get 20 pts.

    dunno if he's hurt but Landry takes a lot of hard fouls. scouting reports must say to not let him dunk, and he's a rook so players know refs wont give him any calls

    any updates on this? I hope he's alrite. He looked good tonight, but definitely not so explosive compare to before.

    possibly he was less explosive tonight but i sure didn't notice it until i read this thread. i think y'all are just paranoid.

    actually, i noticed his tentativeness a couple of times also. twice, under the basket, he faked instead of going straight up for the slam. i thought he would have dunked that before.

    Carl's been logging a lot of minutes and was going up against some beef tonight.I thought it was more precautionary than anything.I'm not worried about him though.When he needed to get up he did.
