    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Raptors rookie Joey Graham, who is a licensed pilot, insists that he does not have his head in the clouds when talking about his knee problems.


    "It's nothing too serious," Graham said, following practice yesterday. "You just have to rest it and get it stronger again."
    The question remains, however: Is Graham damaged goods?
    The 2005 first-round draft pick (16th overall) missed the second half of


    Toronto's opening pre-season game against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night because of tendinitis in his left knee and yesterday admitted that the problem has plagued him for at least a couple of years.


    Tendinitis, a common malady in the NBA, is an injury that never completely goes away and the fact that Graham already is afflicted at the age of 23 can't be a good sign.


    Still, Graham and head coach Sam Mitchell are adamant that it's not a serious problem</div>Source

    That's good, he's the last guy most people would expect to get injured, but it happens I guess. I hope we can see him on the court, but knee tendinitis does suck.

    I hope he rehabs it up, so it will be strong once he has to play full out nba games. It isn't fun hearing about knee problems this early though, hopefully it isn't serious like Graham said.
