    I broke my 5th metatarsal a month before Martell did and I still am afraid to run on my foot. I still feel some slight pain from time to time.

    Stress fracture or a clean break?

    Wow that sucks. Sometimes a clean break is better because it stimulates the bone to grow and heal quicker. Every break is different. Outlaw's could take less time then yours and Websters.

    How did you do it? Did you get to wear an inflatable boot like Webster did?

    I broke it running down some stairs. No inflatable boot the doctor gave me a stiff shoe to wear for a month. My healing time may have to do with my age I was 34 at the time :dunno:

    LOL! At 34yrs old you will heal just fine.

    But you should get one of those "I've fallen and can't get up" emergency necklaces.

    If I got stuck listening to big band music with a bunch of blue hairs at a VFW I'd be slammin' bodies too.

    what are they saying about Travis' foot exactly? Does he need surgery? etc. etc. I was able to catch the game tonight on NBA/TV Raptors Television (I'm un in Vancouver, BC) but the announcers said very little.

    I also missed the first 3 qrts of the game and didn't see what happened.


    Thanks

    So who will get more minutes? Rudy, Martell, Bayless or maybe Dante Cunningham? Maybe all of the above? Do we need to make a trade for a 3/4 at this point or just a back up 4? Lots of questions.

    Cunningham and Howard would be my guess. Outlaw has mostly been playing backup pf this year so I don't really see how Rudy, Martell or Bayless can help us there.

    Webster blames the adidas he had been wearing for developing a chronic situation that lead to his fracture, and now Outlaw has a very similar injury (that Roy had asked about before the game, so it was developing over time) while wearing adidas. Coincidence?

    You never hear about injuries like these happening to players who wear Starbury's.
