No Timetable for CP3's Return

The team says an MRI confirmed the initial diagnosis. Paul twisted his left ankle in the Hornets' loss Friday night to Portland. Team spokesman Dennis Rogers said Monday that Paul will be evaluated daily but remains out indefinitely.

The NBA.com revamped there website – it looks great and has all the latest league news. They had an article on the homepage about CP3 being upset with management for not calling him about the Scott firing. Definitely worth reading and checking out the site.

Bleh

Definitely did not want the word “indefinite” to be tossed in there.

/Sigh

We’re in for a long season.

Bettter than the words, "torn", "ruptured," or "Shaun Livingston" though.

Besides, who knows, maybe the Hornets will win their next 70 games. But probably not. If we can be the Clippers, though, that is step one.

Very true

I’m thankful it wasn’t anything worse.

Besides, the writing was already on the wall prior to CP3’s injury. This team probably isn’t very good and would take a Wade effort of last year by Paul to get us in the playoffs. Instead of going nowhere, this injury will reveal two things. One, let’s see what these rookies can/can’t do. As a Hornet fan, I’m tired of holding rookies hands for how many years now. Two, since Byron left, it’ll be good for the team to develop a new identity and it might actually be better CP3 is off the floor. We’ve gotten way to used to having Chris do absolutely everything. Let’s see some of the other guys learn how to run actual offensive sets with the ball in their hands.

Paul taking his time in protest?

Check out Knicks Blog….they are speculating that he is out for awhile in protest of the team/Scott situation. They make the point that since Vince Carter only missed 4 games due to his sprained ankle and that Paul is out indefinitely….I disagree, but if there isnt any structural damage, why isnt there a timeline?

Oh my gosh

It’s not a conspiracy. He’s in crutches and a boot.

Lol

Poor Knicks fans have nothing else better to do so they’ve looking to create a spark and hope it blows up into a raging forest fire (yer NOT getting CP3).

Also, do we really need to answer the ankle injury comparison to Carter? You do know there are different degrees of and locations of sprains??
