… if you play basketball, that is.
Evan Turner went down in Ohio State’s spanking of Eastern Michigan. Turner will miss eight weeks after fracturing his second and third lumbar vertebrae. That sounds a lot worse than just a two month injury. That sounds career-threatening. Here’s to hoping Evan has a speedy and full recovery, just in time for the heart of the Buckeyes’ Big Ten schedule.
Greg Oden was carted off the court against the Houston Rockets after fracturing his knee cap and is likely to miss the season. Which is a shame, because this year was really looking good for both Oden and the Trailblazers.
It’s a good thing Michael Redd is already injured for today’s game against the Cavs. Who knows how that would have turned out.
Turner going down is a heart breaker. Two years in a row that one of the best players has been sidelined for a big part of the season.
