It's not usual for a star player to be held out for so long for trade purposes.
Plus, the way he came out in the middle of a game doesn't make sense that it's for trade purposes. I am afraid it's more serious than we are led to believe though. I mean everything makes it SEEM like it's a concussion, where the NFL protocol is pretty much that they have to sit out the next week, and sometimes two weeks, so basically those players don't play for anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks, so I could see the NBA being the same. Perhaps if it was a concussion, that it happened prior to him feeling not so well in that game, and he was dizzy or something and injured his elbow, and when they got him back to the locker room, they realized it was an earlier concussion.
Now that makes a lot of sense. What doesn't make sense is that they said is wasn't a concussion, or at least TJ did, so I don't know if the team officially said that and maybe TJ misunderstood. At the same time, if it WAS a concussion, I don't see why they would want to say it wasn't unless it's from something extremely embarrasing to him that happened at home, like falling in the bathroom and bumping his head or something. Who knows?
