Tyreke to miss Rookie Challenge
- Thread starter Rockmeister
- Start date
Would have looked odd if he missed the last 2 games going into the break and then did play. Am a little concerned abou that Monday doctor's visit though. We were right on the brink of breaking through there before he went down, thought we were beyond the foot problems, and now its suddenly popped back up. We've bee pretty lucky this year with injuries that actually cost guys games, but this lingering foot issue to the one player that we just couldn't have injured has defined our whole season.
The ongoing foot issue is a concern. I would NOT like to see it linger on into next season (if we end up having one). Personally, I am hoping that Tyreke goes ahead and has the procedure that will keep him off the court of the 2-3 months. I know it has a negative impact for us this season but in the long run its better for this team. The last thing we need is to have Tyreke battle this until the end of the season and then for it to impact him next year as well, or if he has the procedure it makes him unavailable for the training camp.
IMHO, this issue needs to be sorted now.

There are 5 months of offseason.
And I don't think the franchise can really afford the chaos collapse right now. Byt the time it reemrges it could be in a new city with all kids of new faces in the decisinnmaking positions. Be no big FAs. Be no TV next year. No season ticket renewals. Fair or nto that 21 yr old kid holds a lot of jobs and the franchises short term fate in his hands, or rather feet.

We know P.F. takes sometimes months to heal, and the only real solution is rest. Add to that Tyreke's ankle injruies that has been bothering him since the off season, and I think the best thing for the team in the long term is for Evans to just sit out for a while. Because if he continues to play, and these injuries persist into next season, then that is unacceptable. This season is done already, so they should make sure he's ready and healthy next season.
Not only that, but if you are off your legs for five or so months to heal, It doesnt leave you with a whole lot of time to improve your game.
Its a very very tough decision. The team clearly needs him for all the reasons Bricklayer said. We need momentum going into next season. Without Evans we may not reach 20 wins. I'll say that again, we may not reach 20 wins. That is crazy bad. Bad for the fans, bad for the players, bad for basketball in Sacramento.

I was assuming that you were discussing what he should do with rest only as that is the traditional approach. I have a feeling even the doctors are venturing into unexplored territory as the only procedures I read about were a last resort kind of thing. But, if it has to do with lasers maybe it's different. I recall Hawes having microfracture surgery as a kid and maybe this is a situation where if you let the surgeon at him early, you have the best chance of permanent cure. "Cure" includes a life time of minor physical therapy to keep it from recurring.
I'd be more comfortable talking about Cousins' problems.

Does anyone know
if tyreke will be playing in the rookie sophomore game? I would rather see him getting some rest so he can hopefully be ready to go against miami and orlando. Also, one other thing. Why did tyrekes plantar fasciatis (or whatever) start up again? Was it because of some kind of injury during a game or what? Sorry but our team is nearly unwatchable without him. I cant believe i even entertained the thought that our team didnt need him as much as last year. O yeah and has there been any news at all on whiteside? He could be getting those much needed minutes in these kinds of games.

What???? Never heard of this procedure might which mean very little. I must admit. Innovative ideas sometimes work and medicine is full of them assuming a bonafied medical type person is doing this and not a voodoo doctor from New Orleans. Sounds safer than other things I have heard of. FAR safer. In fact, it sounds like a miracle. Just ask anyone who has had plantar fasciitis and they'll wonder why they didn't get this miracle cure. I would like to ask Dr. Napear how he could only be out 2-3 weeks and why haven't they done this before? My goodness, I already feel uncomfortable enough offering opinions on this subject but my credentials are better than Grant's. I very much question Grant's opinion BEFORE the trip to the specialist.I think I'll wait for someone else to tell us what is going on. Maybe a sacrificed chicken would work.
Addendum: Something else I found
Evans in danger of shutting it down?
Kings radio reporter Sean Cunningham believes that Tyreke Evans (foot) may be out for an "extended period" after the break.
Note that Cunningham isn't reporting here -- this is simply his educated guess. Still, the signs surrounding Evans are not good. The plantar fasciitis in his foot is not improving and he's slated to re-visit his specialist in L.A. on Monday. Owners should have real concern here.

I had to come back and indent the quote as the last paragraph looked like I wrote it. This is getting better. Read on as I looked uo electromagnetic thereapy.
Rife machine
Also called frequency therapy, frequency generator, and Rife frequency generator, the Rife machine is used to direct electrical impulses at the feet to break up the supposed accumulated deposits of toxins at nerve endings. During treatment, the patient places his or her feet in a plastic box attached to the Rife unit.

If there is a way of removing inflammed scar tissue and that's what this does, as best I can tell, that would be great. Going back to what seemed to be the unconventional treatment of a teenagers's knee treated with microfracture surgery (Spencer Hawes) I guess the earlier the better. Let's just do it right and hope that the losing record that comes with it is understood by the fans. A cure would give us the old Tyreke back and remove questions about whether problems with his game are due to injury or inexperience.
