Thanks Klomp. Sadly, this is the first thing Wolves-related that I've looked forward to in a while.

My right ear is feeling left out.

4 more weeks on crutches

[C.lupus]

I guess Sid was sleeping through the first 15 minutes. smh

[C.lupus]

That seemed like an abrupt end.

I graduated from that school in 97 and haven't stepped foot in there since. A bit surreal to see it.

Wow, only 5 weeks and it seems he has lost a lot of muscle of his legs

meh, kid was always kinda scrawny, and look at his arms, looks like its mostly just the way the picture was taken I think.

[TMo519]

Yeah, he already has a slight build. I'm sure he's lost a little muscle, but one good thing for him is it's not like he can lose that much strength, since he really didn't have much LOL

[C.lupus]

Good to see him at least posing with the weights.

How was it? I turned it on a noon but didn't have any video, waited about 5 minutes, then gave up and went to lunch.

Pretty good. Started about 10 mins late. A lot of typical questions. I tried to spice it up by asking if hes going to grow his beard out as long as Kevin and Nikola. He said he thought about letting it go until he plays again, but its getting long for him already so he'll probably shave it soon.

i wonder if he can pump it a few times or just posing...

How is your knee after the surgery?
It was good, and I'm satisfied. I only need a good recovery.

Did the Wolves say to you something about the rehab in Spain?
I don't know still, It's important be carefully with the long travels due the blood circulatory. I think I will return to Spain if all is good.

How do you remember the Kobe beat?
I didn't imagine a lot of time out of the team. After a time-out we had decided a double team defense over Kobe. I put bad my leg and the beat turned by knee.

How do you feel mentally?
You think about this and you are sad, but you can't come back at the time. I lose something special as the Olympics, but I must work hard this summer if I want play the next Olympics. If you are positive all goes good.

Anxiety for play?
I throw the ball and lift weights since my chair and I can forget this situation . You can do many things sitting on a chair

How is a day in your life?
I do rehab at the morning. This hurts because I must extend the knee, and another time at the afternoon for throw since the chair and more weight lifting.

Why your shot is better in America than Europe?
It's confidence. I could practice by myself, without pressure.

Did doctors say to you a exact prognostic?
We must think about nine months, ?????????. They don't want talk about a concrete date, because they want be carefully until the knee was at 100 percent. I don't want take risk because a relapse would be terrible. Doctors say 9 months and I say 6.

Who is more worried about you?
My father. He must stay in Spain. And my family and close friends. I love them.

The solidarity of another stars of the NBA was a surprise.
It was a good surprise. They helped me a lot at my hardest moments.
