@rick_bonnell: Gerald Henderson tells me he was relieved by diagnosis. Feared something worse, like a torn ligament requiring surgery.

Good news I guess, hope Jeff gets some more
Minutes now

I'm relieved too. A major injury and his trade stock is going to plummet. Stay healthy Hendo!

Higgins got hurt too!?!?!

Can we consider Hendo injury-prone? This is like the 3rd straight season he'll miss significant time

What we want from our 'drawing board' SG is a good defender, a good shooter (3 pointers), with the ability to handle & pass the ball. To me that is Jeff's game. It's now a question if he can take his game to the NBA level.

Here's hoping he 1. gets the chance and 2. can.

Here's the issue with Jeff (and Biz too)

They are completely lost in Dunlap's zone defense. Its not like these guys can just be inserted into a lineup now and pick up their man like they're used to. Its a massive adjustment.

Been considering that for a while now. He's certainly not an iron man like Felton was.

Eh... I think his first year was just an exaggerated way to get away from Larry Brown. He doesn't seem to be an iron man, but he's not missing dozens of games because of nagging injuries either. If he can play, he'll play - but I actually like the fact that he takes time to get healthy from injuries instead of re-aggravating issues that can hinder him over the course of a season.

I think he's just "normal" when it comes to injuries.

If a fractured wrist, knee tendinitis, a torn labrum in hip (required surgery), a strained hamstring, and a sprained foot within 3 years qualify as just "normal" for someone under 25 years old, then what is injury-prone?

*see Greg Oden and half of Trailblazers Roster even given year.

Biz is certainly lost in the scheme, but I think Jeff could be ok. I agree it's a massive adjustment, I just get the feeling that he'll be better. No evidence to back that up with ... I just think he comes across as an intelligent guy and he has had a good couple/few days of practise since the last game to get things straight in his head.
