Concussion. It’s the injury no league wants to talk about right now. The NFL has had meetings on and off for a couple of years regarding their lasting importance and severity and baseball has seen its share of athletes retire (Corey Koskie, Mike Matheny) thanks to symptoms that would not go away. In basketball though, [...]
Chris Douglas-Roberts reportedly suffered a poke in the eye in practice the other day. Upon it first being reported, there was some concern that he would miss Wednesday’s game, but now things are looking far worse than that. As he so often does, Douglas-Roberts took to Twitter with news earlier today. I went thru hell [...]
You’ll have to forgive me if my writing isn’t very good tonight. I’m feeling slightly under the weather, I’d put myself at 87%. I went to the doctor earlier and he told me I’d be fine, but he was all ready to dismiss me without giving me a breakdown on just how healthy he thought [...]
Five months after the injury that shelved him for the Bucks first meaningful playoff run in quite some time, we’re still playing the guessing game when it comes to Andrew Bogut’s health. Unlike Scrabble, this game isn’t so fun. And it causes people to start to wonder just what the suits in the ivory towers [...]
Contrary to popular belief, the Bucks season is not over. Nor does the NBA delay the start of the playoffs until Andrew Bogut is healthy. And don’t expect a first round bye because the Bucks would have been competitive with a healthy Bogut. No, the NBA keeps moving forward every day. So that’s what the [...]
From JSOnline’s Charles Gardner: A source said early Sunday that Bogut suffered a dislocated right elbow, sprained wrist and broken right hand and would likely undergo surgery. This is troubling. Here’s the official report from the Milwaukee Bucks: After falling hard to the floor after a dunk in the second period of the Bucks win [...]
The Bucks have lost their backup’s backup’s backup center for at least six weeks. Francisco Elson underwent successful surgery on Friday for a hernia. From the Bucks: Milwaukee Bucks General Manager John Hammond announced today that center Francisco Elson (7-0, 240) had successful surgery on Friday to repair a hernia. Elson is expected to miss [...]
Ohhhhh DOCTOR! That’s my favorite saying when big news happens. I love it. And some big news has happened in a positive way for the Milwaukee Bucks for once. If you’re a long time fan, don’t you always get the feeling that things end up going worse than we initially expect for the Bucks with [...]
Just when Bucks fans think things are finally starting to go their way? Bucks General Manager John Hammond announced today that Andrew Bogut (7-0, 260) suffered a lower left leg strain and contusion in Wednesday’s 99-85 win against New Jersey that is expected to sideline the fifth-year center for two-to-four weeks. Bogut had said after [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Brandon Jennings
I’m not sure we’ll ever know what happened with Brandon Jennings in early February last season. Milwaukee’s premiere guard was cruising along through the first third of the lockout shortened 2011-12 season. Despite a road heavy early season schedule, Jennings was producing at a level far better than he had in his first two seasons. [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Monta Ellis
There was a trade in the NBA this weekend. You may have heard. The Oklahoma City Thunder made an expectation defying deal that will undoubtedly either end up a brilliant reminder of how smart you have to be to succeed in a small market or a sobering lesson on why small market teams can’t thrive in today’s [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Samuel Dalembert
“I want the team to be one of the top defensive teams. I’ve been to so many training camps and seen coaches focusing on offense, offense, offense. We came here and I’m like, ‘Wow.’ I wanted to hug coach (Scott Skiles). For the first time in seven years, the Milwaukee Bucks starting center isn’t Andrew [...]
2012 Player Capsules: John Henson
From every indication, John Henson is ready to play defense in the NBA. For his sake, I hope that’s true. Because his capability to play defense this year could have quite an impact on his career. Henson is probably going to land on his feet no matter what. He was a very highly regarded high [...]
