Man, Ike Diogu last year with the broken hand - now the next lottery pick with a broke foot. Thankfully for him and the team it's not too serious as far as time out. Just won't help getting the right start.

This is the worst-case scenario for a rookie. He was suposed not to play.

At least he did it after he signed his contract. The real ugly/dumb one was last year when Willie Green -- a FA -- blew out his knee playing ball the day his agent had just negotiated a huge $$ deal for him, but before it was signed.
