Monta will be fine. I mean seriously, everyone's making a big deal out of this. Allen Iverson's had a career load of injuries. Monta Ellis I think this is first real injury. He'll be able to bounce back.

He isn't? On the wiretap it says that the organization just didn't want to disclose that information.

AI did not tear his deltoid ligament. As the article linked earlier explained, this is a bad injury.

By the way, Terrell Owens not only broke his fibula, but tore his deltoid ligament as well a few years ago. He sure looked pretty recovered by the time the Super Bowl rolled around and since and his injury was more extensive than the one Ellis suffered.

That is true. The one factor I neglected to consider. I doubt anyone out there has as much d-bag power as T.O. In fact, I'm going on the record that there isn't anyone out there with the same powers, hence, Ellis will have a much tougher time returning to form in light of that.
