Good news, just looked to be a sprained right knee.

[Pushxx]

Any kind of injury likes that just makes me cringeeeeeee.

My knees are shit after all these years, and just thinking about that hurts.

[joeysms55]

Probably sprain or hyperextended the most. Didn't have any give up to his knee. Way better compare to what I got before :(

[DuMa]

almost reminded me of baron's knee explosion. but just very sad to see these players' careers can end on one note like that

Wake Up he is Done for the Season..

[Whoah10115]

Didn't look that serious.

[Kiddlovesnets]

This is so weird, the Nets did not even hurt him.

[KDthunderup]

Didn't look that serious.
not sure if srs?

[TaLvsCuaL]

I'm sorry for him :(

[Myth]

F*ck dude. That sucks.

[Whoah10115]

not sure if srs?


Maybe I'm missing when it happens, but I don't see a torn ACL or anything. Someone has already said it's just a sprain. I could see that.

[Kingwillball]

Well if it was a Sprain they would not of Wheeled him out to Locker room he would of Limped back to bench. His Knee Popped U could see the way he just went down to the Ground like a ton of bricks from No contact.

Edit: I read the Xrays Were Negative however he needs a MRI on the Knee and that will reveal More. I would be Shocked if he is not out an extended period of time if not for the season. Looked an awful like Iman Shumpert's Injury in Playoffs last year.

[DirkNowitzki41]

ah shit that sucks

I have torn an ACL before and it was exactly like that, that aint no sprain Ill bet my account its a torn ACL.

I tore mine too (same day as Rose and Shumpert, tho 4 years earlier)...mine was much more painful, but I had as a bad a tear as humanly possible. Instead of hearing a pop, I heard my bones crack and it sounded like 100 soda cans getting crushed. I thought the bone popped out (thru the skin). Did not, but I had some strain on the meniscus and tore some cartilage.


But anyway, it wasn't quite like that. It honestly didn't like as terrible to me but maybe that's what happened. Obviously, I hope it isn't.

The thing is whenever its a knee and there is no contact involved it is usually always an ACL

[Patrick Chewing]

Was it worse than Baron Davis' deflated knee cap??

Jesus that sounds brutal. How bad did it hurt? My biggest fear is blowing my knee out.

For 10 seconds or so, it was bad. It literally stopped altogether.



After laying for 15min, I tried to get back in the game...I was obviously not right in the head, cuz I could feel my knee collapsing. The next day, it was the biggest swelling in human history. Again, mine was worse than happens to others, considering there was no MCL or LCL tear. But I tore mine completely. Most say it hurts for 2 seconds, mine hurt for a lot longer.


It was bad tho.

[no pun intended]

I still have that image scarred in my mind, as well as Livingston's knee injury and Bogut's elbow injury.

[jdm_dc_fan]

If the Josh Smith trade wasn't interesting already this will help guard heavy teams.

[Levity]

If the Josh Smith trade wasn't interesting already this will help guard heavy teams.

maybe, but atl was already pretty guard heavy. They should still focus on trading for a starting C to pair up with horford.

[hawkfan]

This is terrible news.
Lou has taken over the Flip Murray/Jamal Crawford role, and done it well.
He's been great on the court, and in the locker room.
He's a great guy, and I hope he gets better fast.

as a hawks fan, did you prefer him coming off the bench? or did you enjoy his short time as a starter?

[hawkfan]

With his lack of height and size, he's better coming off the bench.
But Harris can be completely worthless at times, so Williams has to start.
We need to add some size at the shooting guard, along with getting a big.

He's pretty worthless all the time.
