Where did this come from? It's kinda hard to believe that at one time in highschool this guy averages 42 points a game.

my brother had the same surgery, he should be able to get back to practice within at least 2 week, if not earlier.

guys... appendix surgery isn't anything. I highly doubt he'll be out. it's like getting a tooth pulled.

It depends on how severe the appendicitis is, kids.

If discovered too late, and not removed this can cause death.
I know someone who almost died of it. he was out of school for EVER.

I remember in like 5th grade a kid got his appendix pulled and it didn't seem like he was out for any time at all. maybe like a week.

that would be one of the stupidest things to die of IMO. And it can happen to anyone, just like that :confused:

Didn't see this one coming at all, this season is off to a bad, weird start. But at least it was successful.

If Ratliff doesn't play I predict that we will see Tony Allen at center at least once. I hope Leon Powe can play like he did vs. NY in the preseason.
