Dammit. Hopefully it's nothing too major and he could play on Tuesday.

WOW can he stay healthy!

Bleh, doesn't seem like anything major. Still sucks that he's questionable though. He plays a little wild.

this kid plays very hard.

[roscoe28]

i say he plays

[GuyverX]

I wonder if he's really injured though. You can play hurt but you can't play injured. I don't think it's that bad because he kept playing after he came down on that leg weirdly.

The only thing is he was not playing comfortable. He gave up 2 turnovers right after that and did not go to the hole strong on his next open dunk attempt. He would have normally beat his man to the hoop but instead he ended up being fouled. He did not look right at all.

[Purpose]

Was he hobbling up and down the court? I don't recall. I'll fire up the DVR and watch that portion of the game and check in with y'all.

This is disappointing. With this style of play, the coaching staff needs to limit his minutes so he doesn't end up getting seriously injured and/or hitting the rookie "wall".

[donemilio21]

whyyyyyyy?!?!?!? why can't we have good healthy days for once?

[scratch21]

i mean im sure he wants to play

[Lu Galasso]

If it's any consolation, that dunk was the most impressive way to injure a knee I've ever seen.

[JJ LoDuca]

So, Shaun Livingston's missed layup wasn't impressive? lol

So I'm watching the replay. It's a weird play, I don't see any awkwardness to the play. Here is a replay(and a plug for a nice video)

BG dunks the ball at 2:21, You can clearly see him grab his left leg, but BG doesn't even land on it hard .

Upon watching the game on my DVR, BG continues to play the 3rd quater out with no obvious limitations.

I say he will be available on opening night. He may come off the bench.
