He said it is feeling better, but he is still getting a "precautionary MRI" later today.

"Initially, I thought it was worse than it was," Hawes said after the loss before an announced crowd of 15,823 at the Pepsi Center. "It swelled up a little bit at first. … It was scary for a few minutes. But the Nuggets' doctor (Steve Traina) did the tests and said the structural stuff looked good.
"(The MRI is) more precautionary than anything. I think I'm lucky considering how I felt and how it looked."

Nah, for once it isn't TDOS...it's 'TWOS': the WELCOME off season.

I think we should def. sit him the final game, even if he's 100 %. The last thing we need is to lose a piece of our future in the 82nd game of a 60-loss season.

When it happened I was on no please get up!

 

[TTown Kings]

so what does TDOS stand for then?

TDOS: The Dreaded Off Season

And now...

TWOS: The Welcome Off Season

It will always be TDOS to me, for the simple reason good or bad we won't have much basketball to talk about aside from the draft and a new head coach... I want my NBA basketball 24/7/365!!!

I have a feeling that ping-pong day, the draft, the coaching selection, and FA are going to keep us fairly busy.

 

[VF21]

True enough, but those are just appetizers, teasers to pass the time until October...

 

[bloom]

I hope he's ok. He should rest it for the last game, no need to put more pressure on it...I didn't get to see the game - does anybody have a clip of Spencer's fall?

i hear yah! i want kings basketball all year round!

Yeah... i cant wait for lotto day though... I hope to God we don't just get screwed. This draft pick is CRUCIAL to our future. It can mean the difference between a quick 2 year comeback or 4 years of mediocrity. We need to make the best of it that we can. Thats why getting the 4 pick scares the hell out of me.

Any update on Hawes?

The team's official update after the MRIfrom the Kings website:

http://www.nba.com/kings/news/hawes_injury_update041309.html

Tuesday, April 13 [sic], 2009 SACRAMENTO, CA ---- An MRI taken today at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento confirmed that Kings center Spencer Hawes suffered a left knee strain in the first quarter of Monday’s game (4/13/09) versus the Denver Nuggets. Hawes will miss the Kings’ season finale tomorrow (4/15/09) in Minnesota against the Timberwolves.

The important thing is they found no structural damage to the knee.

 

[Aenadin]
