He got an elbow to his eye. No fracture, but he did not come back because he was sensitive to the light. (don't know if they they treated it causing the light sensitivity).

I assume he will play against the Lakers. Probally wearing a protective mask, and might have a black eye?

So Adelman understandably was breathing easier after the game. By that time, he'd found out that Kenny Thomas had not suffered any serious damage despite being knocked out of the game in the first quarter by an elbow to the right eye by Portland center Joel Przybilla. Thomas is expected to be available for Sunday's home game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

That is great news. Considering our penchant for injuries, I was worried that Kenny had broken the orb around the eye.....or something equally painful and debillitating. :eek:

Your thoughts were much less panicked than mine.

I was totally and completely convinced they would soon be scouring the floor, looking for Kenny's eyeball which had most likely rolled under the photographers like a large shooter marble.

Maybe Kenny will channel the spirits of Kareem and Ho-Grant for the Lakers games and go with the goggles.

This is an interesting read. It seems that basketball causes more eye injuries in adults than any other sport.

This link goes over some more medical information, but includes pictures... you've been warned!!! Remind me never to go fly fishing!

Those of you who were at the last Kingsfans-Kingstalk basketball game will recall that I wear goggles when playing... I got tired of getting my glasses knocked off but it seems like a smart thing to do as well.

Sorry, but I don't see the humor...

Sometimes, my friend, you show your age. :p Okay, I was never like that as a teen (or young adult) either. The humor for me is in the reaction, not the event itself.

Why is it funny if someone has to wear goggles because of an eye injury? Do people also roll on the floor in hysterics over people in casts because of broken legs?

I know his eye is fine and I know he's not most likely not gonna come out with goggles on my response to the google was after Alacron pointed out the whole goggles look...its not exactly a look that most people in the NBA are sporting now a days...so I exaggerated a bit and said I would explode with laughter (I obviously wouldn't) so sue me

i was joking. sometimes you gotta be a little lighthearted about things. i def. don't want to see Kenny hurt, and all reports say he's fine and will play, nothing wrong with a little chuckle at the imaginary image of him wearing dorky goggles

Seems as if some one has watched just a few too many Quintan Tarintino films!
