I'm guessing that this is really good news in that the bone didn't break around the previously inserted screw.
 
Another Blazers top rookie on crutches with a big smile on his face. We've seen this before.
 
Most assumed that CJ McCollum would undergo surgery after breaking the fifth metatarsal in his left foot during training camp, but sounds like that won’t be the case. According to the update McCollum is undergoing a non-surgical procedure to mend the bone he broke the first time back in January at Lehigh. From the press release …
Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum will undergo a non-operative ultrasound procedure on Wednesday to repair the fifth metatarsal fracture in his left foot. The procedure, which is designed to stimulate bone growth, will be performed at the OrthoCarolina Foot and Ankle Institute in Charlotte, North Carolina by Dr. Robert Anderson.
​
According to reports, Dr. Anderson is one of the leaders in the field of athlete foot injuries and has worked with the likes Golden State’s Stephen Curry, Houston Texan Matt Schaub and Indianapolis Colts running back Ahmad Brandshaw. According to WCNC.com, Anderson performed reconstructive surgery on Curry’s ankle in 2011. Curry is from the Charlotte area.

I'm not saying anything about CJ's ability to play. It just baffles my as to why the Blazers would draft another injury prone player coming out of college. First it was Roy then it was Oden then it was Williams and now it's CJ.

Then it was lillard and now it's CJ.

So we shouldn't have drafted Lillard?

Injury prone player? Guy broke his foot. Its not like he has chronic knee injuries or has bad hamstrings. A broken bone is always a freak accident and is almost always 100% recovery rate with no real long term detriment as long as the bone didn't damage any tendons or ligaments on the break.

I don't get why the Blazers draft players who've been injured? Gosh this team is management by complete incompetent idiots.

Dumbasses shouldn't draft someone who's had a broken bone, it could break again. Or if the players has had knee pain, it normally leads to an early retirement. Hamstring injuries reoccur, they shouldn't draft those players. Or an earache, yes the Rose Garden can get really loud.
 
Fucking Vulcans. Why are they using a non-operative ultrasound? PA is a billionaire, this is no time to scrimp on medical equipment. Get an operative one.
 
I don't think the Blazers should draft a player with a history of headaches. Loud noise and flashing lights not good. Or stomach ache. Every tasted arena food? For that matter, why draft humans at all with their fragile bodies? Can't the Vulcans come up with some good androids? Or at least Vulcans? Mr. Spock and Data on the Blazers?

I think this post hasn't received the recognition it deserved. This was very funny. repped (or props, if I can't rep)
 
So, no waving chicken feathers and burning incense? Why do the Blazers want another hurricane to strike Haiti?
 
Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise........More playing time and a chance for Allen Crabbe to show what he can do? .
