What’s up Doc? Injury Updates

Earlier today I wrote about Delonte missing practice.  Well he’s back so I guess the chicken trick worked.  Good job Z!  SI

Of course, there now are more injury reports that I missed out on.

76ers – Dalembert’s shoulder problems from last year have returned in the first few days of practice, but he says it’s not as bad as it was last year.  Of course it’s not as bad, it’s the first week of practice!

Celtics – Bill Walker has officially torn his meniscus.  He will miss 6-8 weeks.  On the bright side, I don’t think he’s torn that one before, and he’ll have time to explore some new pain medications.

Rockets – Shane Battier, perhaps the Rockets’ best player this year, has pulled a muscle.  But don’t worry it’s not ‘severe.’

Hornets – Emeka Okafor could miss the rest of the Hornets training camp with a sore knee.  Trading the oft-injured Okafor may not have been a bad idea after-all.
