    Does this mean he gets cut or is he going to wear a mask?

    I wondered why so few minutes. Looked like he was playing well again. Too bad.

    Thomas? That's no excuse. Tape an aspirin to it and get out there for 48 minutes!

    Is the injury bug undercutting the Bull's chances at a (summer league) championship?

    Ok, a more reasoned analysis from Griff concerning Murphy:

    He does seem to be doing well, and is figuring out what he needs to do. Hope he can contribute in time. I think he's on the team this fall, for sure.

    Also, Sam Smith reports that both Murphy and Thomas are expected to play in the next game. I would think Eric will have a mask - perhaps lone ranger style.

    It could. He was playing huge defending the basket. He blocked shots, redirected others and was a rebounding machine

    I saw him once put it on the floor and drove and scored. Also in game one he dunked thanks to an assist.

    He can hit the three and can stretch the floor.
