boxscore: Mo Williams DND(did not dress)-Pubic Symphisitis

Now I don't know what the heck that is, but it sure as heck does not sound good!!!!! To be honest I'm kinda shocked they would put such a personal matter on an injury report or whatever. Can't they just say sprained ankle, pulled groin, something like that???

Well, I might have some temptation to call it a groin strain, but that's not really accurate. Apparently it is pain/swelling in a joint in the front of your public bone (which I did not even know you had), so other than "painful pubes" or some such, not sure what you could call it:

(P.S. Crap, I just read that whole link, and turnd out its likely a quack medicine site, so anybody linkng there please please ignore the quackery -- the injury is well described though, so goingto leave it).

Thanks brick, that explains it a lot better. I thought it was some sort of STD or something. Wonder how he got the injury though... like I mean damn that's crazy. Maybe he fell in practice/in a game and injured it or running on the court did it? Or he had a lot of sex? I dunno...

public bone

You can miss game time just for being an exhibitionist? That seems an odd policy.

The below is from wiki



"In males, the suspensory ligament of the penis is attached to the pubic symphysis, which holds the penis close to the pubic bone and supports it when erect.
