At least that probably isn't an injury that will be chronic or worsen his performance for the rest of his career. Unlike, say, having no cartilage in both of your surgically repaired knees.
Didn't bled actually have his meniscus repaired instead of just taking it out? That's why he's been out so long.

Speaking of injuries, man we dodged a bullet with Eric Gordon. He's now out for the year with a finger injury.

We actually employed someone who wanted to create a big 3 of Gordon, Felton and Beasley. That never ceases to amaze me. And Sarver called that person a "basketball genius."

No matter how bad things are right now, they could always be much, much worse.

With statements like that, you have to consider the source.

Just listened to McDonough on KTAR. Sounds like Knight is going to give it a go tonight. Also, Chase and Williams will both be available. Should be an interesting one as the Knicks are playing fairly shitty basketball right now.
Go Suns!

I, for one, would like to see a win tonight. I want Brandon Knight to show that he's willing to buy into the team as it is playing currently - through Alex Len. If he doesn't, I won't know whether to blame him or the coaches, but there will complaining.

I was under the impression that OEs concern was Knight trying to take over the offense. Having only one practice and doing that makes it even worse IMO.

Knicks playing very physical. Getting into our guards full court, forcing turnovers. Len's J is off - he's struggling against the matching length of Lopez and the Zinger. Melo is on fire. Looking good for the ping pong balls.

Well so much for our offensive system being better. We aren't even running that screen under the basket. Shrug.
