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.

“After further evaluation by our medical staff, Glen Davis has been diagnosed with a left shoulder sprain,” Hennigan said in a statement. “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.”

Bringing Hedo back as well could imply that there is indeed some hope for our 29th worst offense.

this will be a real test for Nicholson, and whether or not he can handle NBA starters, night in and night out. offensively we may be able to get by, but our defense will take a big hit - especially if Hedo is rushed back.

Nah, we just think you're crazy in general.

In other news. Anyone checking out Brandon Bass? He's having a pretty craptastic year so far. 8.4ppg, 5.4 rpg. Give Otis some credit I suppose for making the exchange to get BBD.

Glen Davis has range back in shoulder but needs strength to return to absorb contact in paint

Glen said to media he's upset he got hurt. As a captain, he feels he let the team down. Next step is to test his shoulder in contact drills.
