    Now let's hope Kobe's pinky begins to flare up. Sorry Lakers. This is the beginning of the end. ;)

    Has this been lingering for Drew?

    I was wondering because he runs/moves so much like Jamaal Magloire this season. Explosion is non-existent.

    Bone spurs aren't serious. He should be back in a matter of weeks at the very most.

    He felt sharp pain after the Nets game. I guess depending on how it goes it could range about 1 week to 3 weeks, but knowing the Lakers medical staff it will be more like 6 to 8 weeks.

    That's what Brook Lopez does to you.

    It's a loose bone spur, not just a bone spur. I wouldn't be surprised if they scope him to clean it up.

    That's too bad. I don't wish injury on ANY player on ANY team ever!

    After all the shit Greg has gone through I can never wish an injury on a player from another team, even if he happens to play for the Lakers.

    Who wished injury on Bynum? I was merely reporting.

    I am wondering how a floating bone spur is "day to day". I'd think that a quick 'scope would get Bynum clean and back on the court in less than a month. Without removal, won't it just continue to agitate and inflame the foot?

    Is this any different than the foot injury Oden just had? He had to have a piece of bone removed as well, right? I guess it isn't the exact same thing, I don't see sprain or anything like that in the report, but I still find it interesting. I hope it isn't too serious.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Big men often have foot troubles. Nature of the beast, being so large and playing an athletic game.

    Hopefully, Oden and Bynum are generally healthy over their careers.

    What Oden had was a mid-lateral foot sprain, no bones were needed to be removed.

    My mistake. I can never remember the details of injuries correctly, I always have to look them up. Is Bynum's worse then? I do hope it isn't too serious.
