Man I hope it's not too serious. This team is starting to play so well. Can't see the McRoberts hate. Hes turning out to be a very good bench player and we're not likely trading for a star. As far as draft picks, how many even turn out to be serviceable. I like how we were coming along.

I expect Nicholson to still come off the bench as the 2nd unit needs his scoring, but who knows.

Really don't mind if Nicholson or McRoberts starts. Both should see increased playing time. It'll give Nicholson good experience and boost the trade value of McRoberts. McRoberts hasn't annoyed me like he once did in the first 2 weeks of the season. I've actually enjoyed his game when he's playing the 4.

Josh Robbins ‏@JoshuaBRobbins

An MRI "showed no significant structural damage" to Glen Davis' left shoulder, Magic GM Rob Hennigan said.


Good.

In a statement, Hennigan said Davis "will be treated non-operatively" and that the muscles around the shoulder will be strengthened.

That's relatively good news.

Whew! Our guys have been building some really good chemistry together, really didn't wan't to see the absence of such a main factor on the team disrupting that at all.

Yeah, I still want a concrete timetable (if it's even possible with these injuries), but this is definitely positive.

Shoulder sprain? Can't recall the last time I've heard of a player getting such an injury... how long does something like that take to heal? Is it like an ankle sprain?

Wow a shoulder sprain. I thought a dislocation for certain. That is good news.

Depending on the grade of the sprain in Davis' shoulder he could potentially return to #Magic in as little as 2-to-3 weeks. Good news indeed

As a person who has experienced a shoulder sprain I can attest that the initial injury hurts incredibly bad. It's probably worse than an ankle sprain, although I've never had a severe sprain there. As for a recovery I felt completely fine after a little over a week. I'm not a professional athlete who is taking constant strain on a consistent basis though so who really knows.

Magic Team Releases

“In the midst of a career year both as a go-to scorer and a first-time captain for the Orlando Magic, Glen Davis will have his season put on hold because of a shoulder injury. Davis, who is averaging career highs in minutes (33), points (16), rebounds (7.9) and assists (1.8), badly sprained his left shoulder on Wednesday night when he was fouled by hard by Washington’s Emeka Okafor. The injury will not require surgery, but could keep Davis out of action for a couple of weeks. A MRI conducted on Thursday showed no structural damage in Davis’ shoulder. The injury occurred with 47.8 seconds remaining in the Magic’s 90-83 defeat of the Washington Wizards. At the time of the injury, Davis sprained his left shoulder and ultimately had it popped back into place by team doctors. Davis stayed down on the floor for several minutes, biting his jersey, grimacing and writhing in pain. ‘After further evaluation by our medical staff, Glen Davis has been diagnosed with a left shoulder sprain,’ Magic General Manager Rob Hennigan said in a statement on Thursday. ‘The MRI showed no significant structural damage. He will be treated non-operatively. Treatment will include rest and subsequent strengthening of the muscles around his shoulder. His return will depend on progress made during his rehabilitation.’”

Although there is no definitive timetable it sounds like #Magic power forward Glen Davis will be out more than a month. Still good news.

So it was dislocated, but but without serious tears. I'm reminded of Candace Parker's injury in 2008 on route to her final Championship with Tennessee. I was watching the game.

A description:

"Parker dislocated her left shoulder in the first half against Texas A&M. Parker had just stolen the ball and was dribbling up the court when she curled to the side and stopped. A team trainer met her on the court and escorted her to the locker room with 3:50 remaining in the first half.

Parker returned to the bench a minute later and checked in at the first opportunity, but then clutched the shoulder again while trying to deflect a pass. Parker returned to the locker room with 15.6 seconds left, returned for the second half, and was able to play the final 10:39 with a sleeve on her shoulder."

She went on to win the championship and to play two seasons in the WNBA with the shoulder popping out from time to time. Finally she had a really bad dislocation and finally agreed to surgery in 2010, which appears to have repaired it.

I bring this up because Glen's injury seems to be similar. There's one big difference though. Candace is a string bean. Glen's huge muscles may be able to hold the shoulder in place without surgery.

Fortunately, a sprain is better than a dislocation which I think means his arm did not pop out of socket. I hope so because once an arm pops out of socket, then it is easier for that to happen again.
