    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Cassell has torn cartilage in his left hip, near the point where the top of his femur meets the socket, said a team medical staffer who asked not to be identified. That causes his hip to pop out of place under sudden stress, a condition that could require surgery in the offseason.

    Cassell's back spasms are due to the trauma in the hip, the medical staffer said, and rest and rehabilitation might be enough to fix the problem. </div>

    Sammy has always had back & hip problems since his days with the Rockets. I hope he has surgery (if needed) early in the off season, so he can be ready for the start of the season. The Wolves dont need to have a bunch of guys on the injury list to start the season like with Wally, Troy & Kandi(a couple games into the season). Everybody needs to be there so they can get use to their roles & parts on this team. It seemed like Kandiman never got use to being apart of this team this season. And part of that could be because he missed to many games early in the season. And it seemed like the Wolves & Wally/Troy all struggled when those two returned after the all-star break. So everybody needs to be there at the start of the season to get adjusted to roles.
