    May be back in action within a few weeks. Shot in calf. Random violence. 1:30AM just got back from NO. Going to get food. Car was side-swiped. Whoever was in other car, fired shots. Treated and released already. Shouldn't miss much time.

    I don't know, but things like that sure doesn't happen here in Poland.

    since he's ok, lets hope he can come back for the 2 game road trip at the end of the week.

    i'm pretty sure the rockets can manage the pistons and wolves without him.

    Well, I don't think that getting shot in the leg can qualify a player as "injury-prone."

    #1 was that it's not life threatening.

    #2 is that it's not career or even season ending.

    flesh wound is the best possible scenario. he really got lucky. depending on the severity of the wound i would say he could be back this weekend (in time for the road trip) or skip the road trip and be back next weekend.

    OK so trying to be positive with this news, maybe Deke can get a few minutes until Landry is all well again!
