Does anyone know why he only played 17 minutes vs OKC?

Unsure...Barbosa seemed a bit hurt at the end there as well

Gentry said he could had returned to the game but decided to rest him for Sunday.

Thanks!

I hope not, I initially thought that he was just out of breath from all that damn beasting. Hopefully the team can get their conditioning up soon.

Coro says it was a neuroma in his left foot. Will play sunday.

A neuroma is a thickening of nerve tissue that may develop in various parts of the body. The most common neuroma in the foot is a Morton's neuroma, which occurs at the base of the third and fourth toes. It is sometimes referred to as an intermetatarsal neuroma. "Intermetatarsal" describes its location - in the ball of the foot between the metatarsal bones (the bones extending from the toes to the midfoot). Neuromas may also occur in other locations in the foot.

The thickening, or enlargement, of the nerve that defines a neuroma is the result of compression and irritation of the nerve. This compression creates swelling of the nerve, eventually leading to permanent nerve damage.

Coro now says Hill's neuroma is at the ball of his foot, which will require removing a portion of the inside of his shoe under the area of the nerves bothering him so they receive no pressure.
