Richard Jefferson: From NETS: All-Access Online: <span class="style3"> Training Camp: Tuesday, October 9th - by Matt McQueeny.</span></p> <p align="justify" class="style1"><span class="style3"><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></span>Richard Jefferson does not like the sentiment that he is an injured player. According to Jefferson, the ankle which he had surgically repaired last season has been his only real injury. The wrist injury incurred against Detroit three seasons ago could have been prevented, as far as he sees it. “I think over my six seasons I’ve really only had one injury that lingered. I really don’t think my health is that big of a question; it’s not like I’ve had past knee injuries, or past sprained ankles. It was pretty much just this last season. I think people are going to focus in on that until you are able to play a healthy season. But that’s a part of the NBA. I honestly feel blessed to go as far in the playoffs, doing USA every single year, playing 100 games, doing all that stuff every single year to really only have two injuries – one of which should have been prevented.”</div></p> <p align="justify" class="style1">Hm. I'm not really sure what to think of this. Doesn't having a lingering injury make you injury prone..?</p> <p align="justify" class="style1">Oh well, he sort of has a point. It's not like he's always getting all these different freak injuries, and he actually tries to play through injuries when he feels he has to, you've gotta give him that.</p>
