    Well, I'd be surprised if he doesn't miss at least a week of games.

    Not trying to sound pessimistic but, the fact the injury is on his shooting elbow will make it hard for him to come back right away IMO.

    I did some looking and the most recent torn ligament in an elbow i found was charlie villanueava in 2006. he was originally diagnosed to miss 4-6 weeks. if fran's assertion that they medical staff is concerned is a tear that's what we look at i guess.

    I'd say a week would be pretty optimistic. If it is a strain then it will take at least that long for swelling and motion to get back to normal, maybe longer.

    Brace yourselves, he is going to out for a while - I am talking weeks.

    Nonetheless, it is well with us.

    Well I for one won't sleep until I hear some official updates.

    It's better to sleep on it than to wake up the next morning and then having to find out.

    Good luck T-Mac, hope you're not hurtin' too bad.

    Didn't Kurt Warner tear his ligament in his elbow and started to practice a few days later?

    I have never been this anxious since I opened up my letter from Texas A&M to see if I got accepted or not.

    i sent my cousin a txt message, but he didnt respond (he's at work)...

    i hope it's pretty normal for them to put people with any injury in a wheel chair...back in the day, when i had a cast put on a broken arm, they made me leave in a wheel chair....Also, if they think it might be a tear, im sure they dont want you walking around in pain....hospital's take extra precautions these days, not to get sued...

    i hope it's not a tear. im praying

    In his non-throwing elbow, I don't know what type of tear it was though.
