Kmart Injured!!
- Thread starter Kingfanpaul
- Start date
Because it's on his left wrist shouldn't be a big problem unless Kmart's a big wimp. After all he scored 29 pts shooting right handed last night. I suffered a hair-line fracture on my right wrist while dunking in practice as a 17-year-old H.S. senior. I played in an era when dunking was not allowed in the games at that level. I had a soft split with velcro release on my shooting wrist for a scheduled 6-8 weeks. I took it off after 3 weeks, playing rest of the season because it felt healed to me and I didn't want to hurt my team as a starting F/C. Since Kmart is right handed he should be able to play with no major issues.
Always injured - although it's not smart for him to play when we obviously won't be contending for a playoff spot, it seems like every year something comes up with our boy KMart. As UNPOPULAR as this might be with some, maybe we let him heal, play big, trade him high. He's not someone we can count on being healthy anymore sadly
I'm asuming this was the same injury that was reported before the game? But that they just now got back the test results and found out it was more than a bruise?
In any case in the last grades I had just got done qondering how long Kevin could last at 40+min a night -- guess that didn't take long.

Some Updates on Kevin Martin via/ Twitter -
This had been a bad day for Kings fans.
Some thoughts :
Kevin Martins wrist was hurt in the Memphis game. Why didnt we diagnose the fracture then? And if he made the injury worse in the Atlanta game, I think the training staff deserve some criticism for letting him play 40 minutes on it.
IF Kmart opts to play through it, I wonder how his image will change around here .. if it will change at all.
Also, if he is out for 8 weeks like the tweet above suggests, it might not be such a bad thing long term. Beno will most likely start, and if he continues to play well we might just be able to move him this year.
I think this may be the final straw. He cant stay healthy .. it might be time to move on from Kmart while he has some value.

I fractured my wrist four months ago hitting my punching bag, and I still play competitive basketball 3 times a week and train in martial arts 3 times a week.
big deal its his off hand. Tape it up and play...Iverson did it for a whole season. Stop being a pansy, I guarantee if Cisco had this injury instead of his. He would be playing...
Kevin has really let me down.

Media Madness: First the Bee reported Kev WILL be out 6-8 weeks but now they have changed it to MAY be out 6-8 weeks. In a soundbite on KHTK Martin said he was going to rest on it tonight and decide soon on if he will have the surgery or continue to play. Apparently, the surgery is still most likely - so out 6-8 weeks likely.
Now I am rarely first in line to argue for Kevin's toughness, but I'm not sure what the point would really be given our situation. If we were a 60 win team witha shot at the title and this was March or something...yeah, I want him to try to suck it up and hold out unitl the offseason is possible. But 5 games into a season which everybody kows is going to be a lottery season anyway? Might as well do it right + get it healthy. Not much on the line and 6 straight months of basketball ahead is a long time.
P.S. As an aside why do they always do surgery for broken bones in the NBA? Shouldn't a hairline fracture especially already be set and in place to heal by itself as long as its immobilized?
