<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It was revealed on Thursday that Jason Kidd has a cracked rib. ?I guess the implication was that it was being concealed, which would be a falsehood,? Frank said after practice today. ?The reason Jason wasn?t able to play in those last two games against San Antonio and Toronto, and the All-Star game, was because of his back. Does he have a cracked rib? Yes. But that wasn?t what was preventing him. He?s played with the cracked rib. ?We?re not going to divulge every knick, knack, bruise, bump, if it?s not preventing a guy from playing,? Frank said. ?Now he?s in a situation where he?s still sore, both back and rib.?</div> Source
Well, if he's been playing with it, I guess it either isn't considered a major injury or he's really determined to play. Either way, I guess it shouldn't affect him too much.
Well they've been concealing this because they didn't want to harm trade possibilities. I assumed he played with it because he wanted teams to think he's only got minor back problems. This could be serious.
