    Ladies and gentlemen this is exactly why we got Ezeli so cheap.

    Personally I don't think this guy will ever be healthy to the point where you know for sure he's dependable. As a player he's solid and a good defender but weird random procedures like this just tells you all you need to know why he was so cheap and not really sought after by teams..

    This is why we got a great deal on him. Plain and simple. I can't deal with players and bad knees anymore, I think blazer fans have already been through that one. Hopefully he can some what produce

    This had better not be old man Oden over again...though we didn't draft Ezeli and got him for cheap...low risk....still not a good sign of things to come.

    Why is it so difficult to put the actual subject as the title of the thread?
    For example - "Festus Ezeli undergoes injection in left knee"

    At least we don't have the entire team's future essentially riding on him. So he's got nothing on Greg and Brandon.

    Getting this procedure is a good thing...glad to see our staff earning their checks...I trust Stackpool since they hired him. Gerald Henderson had surgery before we signed him...hip surgery. That turned out ok. Ezeli had it done at the right time...and smartly stayed out of the Olympics for Nigeria. Having the bigs we have....it's good to work them into the system up to the allstar break and get them burn later going into the playoffs....the playoffs is where Ezeli will be most valuable.

    As long as his knees don't look like Joe Namath's, he'll be fine. Just rub them with tobacco juice and send him out there. /s

    6 weeks isn't that long, he's wise to use this time to play Madden 17 and eat hot Cheetos.

    This is similar to the PRP injections Brandon went through, right? But using bone marrow aspirate cells rather than concentrated blood platelets?

    No, this is more like the steroids Sammy Sosa used, but using bone marrow aspirate cells rather than steroids.
