Casspi Injures Fibula During Israeli Practice

[=LarryLegend=]

Casspi, recently acquired by the Cavaliers in a trade with Sacramento for J.J. Hickson, pulled a muscle on the inner side of his fibula.


'The knee is not something you play around with,' Casspi said, 'I will not play again until I know I'm 100% capable.'

'I'm not sure if I will play in the EuroBasket. It's too early to decide now, but I feel horrible pains and can barely move. I will need around six weeks to recuperate, two of those playing no basketball at all and then the doctors will check my knee again,' Casspi added.


sucks for Casspi but this trade is already looking better.

From a different article:

Casspi will have to recover quickly as he is expected to be Israel's preliminary defender stopping Germany's Dirk Nowitzki

How unfortunate

At first I thought Fibula was a teammate he injured during practice.

I didn't mind the mean streak but this is too bad

Very unfortunate indeed for Casspi. However, he shouldn't be our problem anymore since he's a Cavalier now.

I'm sure Dirk is losing sleep.
