I hope this isn't a sign of things to come for Dwight. I remember when T-Mac had back issues it wasn't long after that when his knees started to go to ****.

Let his knee heal. We are not doing to badly without dwight right now. The important thing is that he comes back strong. Giving DMo the playing time is great. Come playoff time if Tjones can produce and Dwight is at 100 percent, we'll have a front court to recon with. DMO is starting to sgow his potential and could be the 4/5 we need. Let Dwight's legs heal. It is only November. Better bow than playoff time.
Usually with knees a little pain turns to a lot of pain. You don't play through knee issues even regarding things like patellar tendinitis. Those types of injury can result in near permanent damage if you do that.
Yes. It is only November folks. We have played just about a month of basketball. He will cone back and all will be great. I am actually a little more concerned with Tjones and if beverly is just done as a player. Another injury so soon?
which is why we needs to be super careful worst thing we can do now is rushing him to win meaningless regular season games and risk an injury for the playoffs and doing permanent damage.
I was outside Toyota Center before the Friday night game against the Clippers. I peeked through the glass at the practice court and saw Beverly and Howard working out. Howard seemed to be moving pretty well. He was doing sprints and some basketball work and didn't seem to be in much pain. He was smiling. This gave me hope that the injury is not too serious. Based on what I saw, I believe if it was a playoff game, Dwight would definitely be playing. No need to take a risk this early in the season.
I was worried when I saw this tweet...I was expecting him in street clothes and not doing much yet...but seeing this video, I can't imagine it's that serious, if they are letting him test it by spinning pretty freely..when a knee is seriously injured, the last thing you're going to be doing is spin moves. And FWIW, it's was initially called a knee strain, not sprain.
I'd prefer to see him get back to high level like in the playoffs. If healthy, he is proven to deserve all the respect.
Reporter: Dwight, how's the knee? Dwight: Well, you know, that b**** and her nonsense have kinda died down, so I should be back... (PR guy who looks like Agent Smith gives DH12 a slow shake of the head) Dwight: Jumping from that one knee still hurts, so....more platelet treatment!
Beverly has a sore hamstring. These things happen in sports to all players, hamstrings are one of those lingering issues you really have to let finish healing or you'll reaggravate it -- see Arian Foster. As for Jones. His injury is serious, but it's not season ending. It takes a while for the nerves to heal, but once they do, and he goes through physical therapy...he will be good. Last I heard he was walking and running fine, it's just the explosive and quick moves his leg isn't ready for. The good thing is we are winning and our bench is getting a lot of reps.
Any update on Canaan? If he can come back soon, it buys Bev more time. And obviously D-Mo is filling in nicely for T-Jones. Dwight is the one guy we'll need back though since Dorsey and Black are limited in their abilities to put it delicately.
