Torn patellar tendon: http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nba/news/story?id=5981356 Bad news for him and the Mavs and I hope it's not a full tear. That said, with Dirk still down, the timing is good for the Blazers' game on Tuesday.
For whatever reason, I find I feel more sympathetic when a superstar gets injured. I wouldn't want to see Chris Paul get injured, but for different kinds of players I'm not sure what to make of it. Not including my team's role players, but in general I don't feel much. I think it is funny KG gets injured while simply jumping and not getting touched too. I do hope the Blazers get luckier with some of their breaks though.
