No. Can't find that one anywhere... where did you hear it?
I heard Coles was seriously injured and if he were to have another operation it could end his career? Did anyone hear about this on ESPN?

A guy at work who's a big listener to espn radio in the morning mentioned it to me. I hope he's wrong.

Sounds like it was Lavar and not Coles.

I thought that was about the toe injury with Coles which iswhy he oppted not to go for surjury because there was a risk it could have career ending implications.

Coles hasn't opted for surgery on the toe becuase if it goes wrong, it could end his career. But the injury is not new, it's the same toe thing he's been battling since last year, unless something totally new has occurred. But I read that "career ending" claim somewhere on the News wire on the WP.
Lavar is a "class one sprain" of the knee and he's suppossed to be back in practice Monday, according to the Post. I'm not sure what a "class one sprain" is, but let's hope it's somthing that heals quickly!

as a general rule of thumb, sprains heal quickly, breaks don't...
LaVar has the "best" kind of sprain you could hope for, here are the 3 degrees of sprains.
-a first degree sprain is damage to only a few ligament fibres
-a second degree sprain is damage to a more extensive number of ligament fibres, but the ligament remains intact
-a third degree sprain is a complete rupture of the ligament

That's not always true... sometimes a clean break would be preferred because they generally heal in 8 weeks. Effects of the dreaded "high ankle sprain" could linger the whole year.

a clean ligament rupture can heal in 8 weeks? no way. what exactly is the dreaded 'high ankle sprain' anyway. does the it mean high up the ankle or sumthing else?
hey Matty. how'bout a Warpath injury tracker?
