I for one have no clue as to the status of: Mills: When is expected to be on the court? Joining the team? Pendergraph: I heard Rice say something about his possible "early" return in late December? Outlaw?? Batum?? Was lead to believe (I think it was a statement made by Nate?) that Batum was out for the year? Anyone with solid update information on the wounded, please post here! Thanks
All I've heard is that Pendergraph is running and jumping right now, but I don't know how soon that would translate into game time. And as for Mills: in that interview posted by DUB he said that it had been 5 1/2 months since his operation. (Where did my life go?)
Pendergraph said on Courtside last week that he is aiming for Christmas-ish. Seemed very optimistic to me... Merlin predicted Jan 6th.
Here. That's particularly good news about Batum. Significantly LESS good news: Aldridge is still out and Oden has sprained his ankle!
I forget which play it was last night, a lob attempt or something, but Oden sort of stumbled clumsily on nothing but dust after the play and rolled his ankle mildly... Is that the source of today's injury concern?
Huh? They showed him rolling his ankle after stepping backward to get out of the way of a falling Dante Cunningham and planted his foot on top of Martell's. He played the rest of the second half with the ankle, but with so many days until the next game he could probably use the rest and the treatment ... it's not like he's struggling and needs the extra practice.
beat me to it. It looked decently painful and he then waived them off when they wanted to pull him out of the game. he is literally our best player right now.
I'm sure his ankle is sore and they're just giving it rest. Tell you the truth I forgot about it until they said he sat out practice. I saw no signs it was bothering him during the 4th.
I missed that one... There was another play later where the ankle just sort of buckled on its own without stepping on anyone's foot, but that makes sense if he had already tweaked it earlier in the game.
same twitter account had this: #Blazers coach McMillan said there was a chance the team could start Miller in place of Blake in the future. #NBA #Heat needs to be N O W!!
