LOL! At least you're trying to break some news around here.

I've split a post into a thread before, but I couldn't for the life of me remember how.

The typical recovery time for this is three months.

Casey Holdahl ‏@CHold 3m The fifth metatarsal of the left foot is same bone McCollum broke during his senior year at Lehigh, not sure if that impacts return timeline

Ugh.... oh well... guess it frees up some minutes for Crabbe and Barton.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Is it a different bone in his foot from last time?

Apparently not.

 

[THE HCP]

Damn man! Was really looking forward to watching this kid! Will Barton is pumped I'm sure!


Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5 FAMS!

Same bone? My guess is some sort of metal screws and plate and he's done for the season.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

On the one hand: this is really shitty.
On the other: this is one position where we have depth. He probably wasn't going to get that many minutes to begin with anyway.

Yeah, the fact that it's the same bone has to be concerning.

Dwight Jaynes ‏@dwightjaynes 4m Fifth metatarsal is a slow healer very often. Blood flow in that area isn't great.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Here's a thought - just a thought. Maybe we shouldn't keep drafting players who've had their college careers seriously impacted with injury?

mo williams time! He's an allstar!

TUALATIN – The Portland Trail Blazers announced that rookie guard CJ McCollum will require surgery after fracturing the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot.
The injury occurred during Saturday's practice when McCollum was attempting to set a screen at the practice facility. A prognosis for his return will be made after surgery.
This is the same left foot that McCollum broke during his senior season at Lehigh University that caused him to miss the rest of that year.
McCollum, 22, was taken No. 10 in the 2013 NBA Draft by the Trail Blazers. From all accounts, he was having a sensational training camp after strong showings in involuntary workouts.
He was expected to compete with Wesley Matthews for two-guard minutes. This definitely comes as a huge blow for the Trail Blazers.

Eh, who would you have drafted instead? Not a great draft.

Meyers Leonard ‏@MeyersLeonard11 Praying for a speedy recovery for @CJMcCollum ..Tough to have something like this happen to him. Such a good kid. He'll be back though.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Eh, who would you have drafted instead? Not a great draft.

Probably Steven Adams. I wanted Dennis Schroder.

But that's kind of irrelevant. I hope he can return before the end of the season.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Probably Steven Adams.

He was my 1B with CJ.

 

[Natebishop3]

Probably Steven Adams.

I would have traded out, if we hadn't taken CJ.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

yea, Lillard hasn't really worked out... oh wait....

Dollares sin centimos, Rasta.

Isn't CJ older than Meyers?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

For God's sake don't jinx him.

Comcast SportsNet NW ‏@CSNNW Several medical outlets say a fracture in the fifth metatarsal bone requires extensive rehab and a 8-10 week recovery window

Well the good thing is he may not hit the rookie wall. This seriously blows though

 

[Rastapopoulos]

He's already kicked it.
