Ha, I got that one topped. During lunch time recess in the 8th grade we were playing basketball in the gym and I noticed when I dribbled with my left hand it didn't feel right and when I looked at my hand, the ring finger was bent 45 degrees at the top knuckle. The teacher on duty suggested I go to the office and have the nurse look at it and my teacher was in there at the time and took a look at it and said it appeared to be dislocated and just needed to be ;popped back in. I asked him if he could do it for me and declined for obvious reasons so I went outside and began pulling and pounding on it to no avail. When I got home from school my mom took me to the doctor and it turned out that I had torn the tendon in that finger and no amount of pulling and popping was going to put it back in place. Surprisingly it wasn't painful at all.
Worse case scenario I read is that he has any tearing around the socket....KLove took 51 weeks to get back from a dislocated shoulder....hopefully Zach's is tear free.
are you sure that wasn't a separated shoulder?....a year seems like a really long time for a dislocation, but maybe it was a really bad one is it unusual to not have heard anything yet? I'd imagine they had an MRI and completed prognosis 2 or 3 days ago.
Love's was a dislocation but with a tear that required surgery so that's why it took so long. My oldest daughter had 2 surgeries on her shoulder as it kept popping out of place and my grandson also had surgery on his shoulder as he took a hard hit during a football game and he required surgery as well. If Collins doesn't have any tears and no surgery required then it can be a matter of days to maybe a couple weeks to a month is my guess.
I am not getting a good feeling as the longer it takes for some news the worse I am feeling about it, hope I am dead wrong. Perhaps they are working a trade and want it done before everyone knows? I am not "lol'ing"
Yeah, I didn't read the trade part. Shame on me. That is silly. However the longer the delay the more concerned I am about this(his injury) being a bigger issue.
I wouldn't read anything into the time as the Blazers (as well as many teams) keep that kind of information close to the vest. I remember several forum members freaking out over McCollum's injury at the end of the year and he came back very quickly and without further issues.
I bet Kent Bazemore is waiting anxiously for news on Zach’s injury. Just about every trade scenario you hear about for a replacement for Collins includes using Bazemore’s expiring contract.
Does anyone know if Zach was on the entire road trip with the team? If he was, then I don't think his injury is significant. If he flew back to PDX prior to the end of the trip then I think it's more serious. Regardless, this is SOP for the Blazers regarding injury information unfortunately.
