His less-than-inspiring summer league performance is starting to make more sense:
“He’s got a very serious strain, a groin strain,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “It’s for real. The MRI showed us. It’s a very tedious thing. What we don’t want to do is rush him back where he re-injures it and then he’s out for another eight weeks or something. It’s something we have to be very careful with.”
We can chalk his impotent performance against NBA hopefuls up to an injury and not him sucking. This is actually good news for me since I didn’t know much about him and had to go by what I saw. The Raptors wont be rushing him back, but with Stiemsma and Patterson on the injury block as well, Chuck Hayes and Psycho-3 will be relied on more than we’d like in the short term.
