Meyers Leonard Ankle

[Nate Dogg]

He twisted his right ankle in the fourth quarter of the 76ers game at the Rose Garden.
X-rays came back negative and is considered a sprain. He probably won't play on it til January 7th back at home perhaps.

With 9:01 left in the game, Leonard injured his right ankle when he landed awkwardly after leaping for a rebound. Leonard, who writhed on the ground in pain clutching his leg for an extended time, eventually was helped off the court and into the locker by teammate Jared Jeffries. When a replay of the play that caused the injury was displayed on the big screen at the Rose Garden, the crowd released an audible groan. Leonard had X-rays taken on the his ankle after the game and Nicolas Batum told The Oregonian that Leonard told him the results revealed there is no fracture. The Blazers have labeled the injury a sprain, but Leonard will not travel with the team Sunday when it heads to New York to start a four-game trip.

The thing that freaked me out was when we were replaying his ankle sprain in super slo-mo tonight....... you could see his knee kinda' bend the wrong way. That's what scared me the most.

Freeland has been freed!...since we didn't get Hibbard.

Ok, at least it's nothing permanent. Give him all the time he needs to fully return. No need rush him this season.

Ankle microfracture surgery! :MARIS61:

Is there an ankle meniscus?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Is there an ankle meniscus?

Do we even know if his legs are the same length?

Do we even know if his legs are the same length?

Don't we need penis pics to determine that?

Ask HCP, he's into that sort of thing.

 

[THE HCP]

Flying to NYC right now neither he nor his penis are on board!

 

[Further]

He is going to be fine, his position was renamed mega forward just to avoid serious injuries.

 

[THE HCP]

So Freeland gets some minutes now right?

 

[Further]

Freeland or Jeffries.

 

[THE HCP]

I have liked what I've seen out of Freeland on the offense......... defense on the other hand.

Hey HCP theres a cheap sharewhere app that flips, reverse mirrors, crops and rotates your pictures around. Great investment. Thats how I did my avatar and I think it costed less than 10 bucks for licensed copy.
Mac friendly and now you can have your Portland Trailblazers sweatshirt looking the correct way. (JPEG4web)

you don't need to buy an app, it's called editing. it's free.

Man that was a tough looking injury, glad to see he's ok though.

I almost tore a ligament in my knee trying to spin away from the TV to keep from seeing it in slow motion. Caught my foot in the next barstool over.

I'd rather tear a ligament in my knee than watch that ankle roll again. <shudder>

I like JJ, but I think trading him is a good move. We need to get a bigger C to play some D and protect the inside.
On another note, I thought Meyers was only supposed to miss the road trip, but he is still out. Any news on him?

He was still hobbling some on the Miami Heat night, but he must have been shooting around some in pregame warmups because I saw him switch from his shorts/sneakers to his dress clothes.

I doubt he will play in the OKC game on Sunday but perhaps the Nugget game?
