Comments on: Dwight Howard may not play Tuesday for Lakers vs. Nets http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/04/dwight-howard-may-not-play-tuesday-for-lakers-vs-nets/ Basketball - NBC Sports Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:49:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: aboogy123456 http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/04/dwight-howard-may-not-play-tuesday-for-lakers-vs-nets/comment-page-1/#comment-162610 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:51:13 +0000 http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=325905#comment-162610 I agree but the frustrating thing about this injury is that it doesn’t seem clear whether the injury will heal or not. Is this actually going to get better with Dwight sitting out? Or do we have to wait till the offseason?

If it’s not going to heal, and it’s something he can play through, then I don’t know why he’s not playing against brooklyn. If he’s benefiting his shoulder by sitting out a few extra games, then I’m all for it. The answers have not been definitive from howard or the lakers so far.

It is a torn labrum, it probably hurts when he tries to buckle his seat belt. Quite honestly, the Lakers should shut him down and let it fully heals before he ends up tearing something else in his shoulder as well or screws his back up because his body is instinctively trying to protect the shoulder.

d antoni is just dumb to realize this. i hope he gets fired and i hope pau gasol wont be traded.

dr. jerry buss should disown jim buss and let hottie jeanie run the lakers which will automatically bring p-jax back.

Howard wasn’t fouled on the play in Phoenix. He was cleanly stripped by Shannon Brown and his own momentum aggravated the injury. Lots of “basketball moves” can aggravate his injury again, including hard fouls, but definitely not limited to.

Good thing we still have Pau Gasol to step in.
