Amazing game tonight what does he have 8 threes?

He's an awesome player; however, when he gets hot, he tends to be a little too selfish and cost them a couple games. I fear IT takes after this habit.

Ryan Anderson has been down a good five mins in Boston. Looks like a concussion.

Edit: Some kind of back injury.

I was very relieved to see him give the thumbs up sign as they were wheeling him out of the arena. Up until then, it didn't appear as though he had any movement below the shoulders. Certainly hope he's okay. Gerald Wallace looked very concerned, too.

Preliminary report on Ryan Anderson is that he suffered a cervical stinger. Here's some information:

Cervical Sports Injuries: The Stinger
Written by Brian R. Subach, MD and Mary Claire Walsh; Reviewed by Todd Albert, MD
Peer Reviewed

In the world of contact sports, such as football, hockey, or basketball, a common injury is the stinger. A stinger, sometimes called a burner, is an injury that occurs when the head or neck (cervical spine) is hit to one side, causing the shoulder to be pulled in the opposite direction. While stingers occur most often at the high school level, they can occur at all levels of play.

How does a stinger happen?
A stinger is caused by a stretching of the brachial plexus nerves. These are peripheral nerves that exit the spinal cord and run across the shoulders, under the collarbone, and into the arms. The brachial plexus nerves are responsible for giving the arms their strength and sensation. As a result of a forcible sideways blow to the head or a blow to the shoulder itself, these nerves may become compressed, stretched, and irritated.

What are the symptoms of a stinger?
A side collision of this type causes immediate and intense pain, as well as a tingling or burning sensation in the neck that runs down the arm to the fingers. Weakness in the affected arm or hand is also common. The weakness, numbness, or tingling sensations may last as briefly as a few minutes or as long as a few weeks.

How is a stinger treated?
Most stinger injuries resolve on their own with rest. Athletes are usually removed from the sport until symptoms are gone. Ice packs on the neck or shoulders, anti-inflammatory medications, massage, and neck strengthening exercises are often part of the treatment plan. Players can usually return to their sport once the pain is gone and they have regained full range of motion, strength, and normal sensation in the neck and arms. Persistent or recurrent symptoms may indicate a more serious injury. Neck x-rays, a CT scan, or MRI may be necessary to rule out other serious conditions with similar symptoms.

Well, if anyone knows what getting injured in a game feels like... :eek:

Speaking of injuries, it looks like Chris Paul may have hurt his shoulder flopping.

Incidentally, I was being facetious about the flopping part; he actually hurt himself going around a screen from his own man. But, if Paul were to become the first player to legit get injured flopping, it wouldn't surprise me.

When I first saw it, it looked like he flopped, then hurt himself falling. Not sure that was the case (I'm not arguing with you). But man, if it had been, that'd be an all timer. I never root for injuries, but if the whole clippers team went down hurting themselves flopping, it would make me smile.

BREAKING NEWS-League sources say Pau/Bynum deal is done and happening Sunday
Click to expand...
I wish Pau Gasol all the luck in the world. As far as Bynum goes, I'm betting the Lakers won't even assign him a locker. I will admit to being wrong about the Lakers doing this deal. I will still argue, however, the ONLY way it makes sense is if he never steps foot on the court at Staples.

EDIT: BREAKING NEWS on Twitter from Sam Amick:

Pau Gasol's camp, I'm told, has been informed that the report of his trade to Cleveland being agreed on in principle is false.
