Damn, I was hoping it wouldn't be anything serious. Six to eight weeks is a long time and this is really bad news. Hopefully his game won't be messed up when he returns and Hedo Turkoglu can stay healthy for awhile. The good news is that no surgery is required. Get well soon Trevor!
oh, this is great. Just when he was getting hot, he goes down. He should be back by the time we face Denver on February 28th, maybe earlier like elevate said.
yeah lol a few days ago he had best dunk of the night or something and thats when i started paying attention to him and to see him get injured right after sucks

I am so pissed I missed it.
