Sources: Warriors' Monta Ellis out at least 3 months because of ankle injury

Man you got me.As long as Monta isn't with us I'm all good if he gets injured or not.

 

I was about to post "I knew that guy was fruity" but then I found out this wasn't about that lol

 

That stupid thread title might be enough to get you reduced to rookie.

 

What a misleading thread title.

 

I was about to say this myself.

 

Haha, nice one, Carl Herrera!
And honestly, the more injured opponents, the better or am I wrong?

 

Carl, you got me exited for about a second.

Definitions of come out on the Web:

* To acknowledge one's homosexuality, either to oneself or to others; most often a public declaration of being lesbian or gay.

BTW, I won't be surprised if Monte is a gay. It's all good though.

 

Because Carl Herrera started a thread with a misleading title, "Monta Ellis Comes Out". The mods merged it into the original thread.


Looks like the Warriors have some doubts on how Ellis got injured.

Warriors Checking Ellis’ Story

No one really knows the details around Monta Ellis’ ankle injury, other than he hurt it working out. That has the Warriors a bit worried, according to sources. They are checking out his story behind the scenes.

Ellis told the Warriors last Thursday that he had injured his left ankle working out in Jackson, Miss. But as of Wednesday, the day of the surgery - which will have Ellis out for three months minimum - not even Chris Mullin knew exactly what happened. No he-landed-on-someone’s-ankle. No foot-got-stuck-changing-directions. Mullin’s only response was that “I was told he was working out in Jackson.”

Ellis’ injury was pretty bad, which has team officials, according to sources, question whether he actually sustained such an injury working out or playing pick-up. Ellis had surgery on Wednesday in Alabama to repair a torn deltoid ligament in his left ankle. He also sustained a severe high ankle sprain.
Of course, we have seen some bad injuries on the court (see: Shaun Livingston), so Ellis’ injury could have been a freak accident. His neck injury last summer in training camp was also similarly freaky, though the results were not as severe.

This is all important because Ellis just signed a six-year, $66 million contract late last month. If he was doing anything to violate the morality clause in his contract when he got hurt, the Warriors could go after his contract. They could also fine or suspend him.

The reality is, though, if Monta can regain his old form, it is unlikely they would void his contract because he would become a free agent and the relationship would be strained. But if he can’t play again, or this ankle ends up a long-term problem, they could look to get their money back.

To be sure, the same sources said Monta is expected to recover and everything to be fine in the end.

 

The Warriors are in a world of pain........especially in the West.......






They still need a starting PG........

BREAKING NEWS
Warriors' Ellis admits he lied about injury

The saga surrounding the left ankle of Warriors guard Monta Ellis has taken a step toward a conclusion. The Contra Costa Times has learned that Ellis has admitted to the Warriors that he wasn't truthful about how he hurt his ankle, and the two sides are in talks about how to put the situation behind them.

According to a team source, the Warriors now know that Ellis' ankle injury _ which was repaired during surgery on Aug. 27 _ was not sustained "in a gym," and "it happened out doors and not while playing basketball."

The source did not reveal what Ellis told Warriors management he was doing when he got hurt, only that he "was scared to tell the truth at first," but eventually did.

At first, Ellis told the team he was working out in Jackson, Miss., when he injured his ankle on Aug. 21, tearing a deltoid ligament and suffering a severe high ankle sprain. But he has been in regular communication with Chris Mullin, the executive vice president of basketball operations, with whom Ellis has a close relationship.

The team can fine and/or suspend Ellis if he injured his ankle by participating in a prohibited activity, such as motorcycle riding or snowboarding. Should he somehow not be able to play again, the Warriors could terminate the six-year, $66 million contract they signed Ellis to in July.

Ellis will be out for a minimum of three months.

 

Good for him. I like Monta Ellis more than ever.
