Preseason Injuries: CJ Miles tears thumb ligament

[outerspacefella]

Does anyone know the status of Korver?
If Brewer/AK starts together, there will be no savvy wing from the bench, and Jazz second unit will suffer a lot.

[DelaneyRudd]

Well, for preseason that's ok. I think Korver is a go for regular no matter what.

[HammerDunk]

AK should start anyway, if you ask me...

Terrible news for Miles and the Jazz. By the way, what's with all these injuries in the preseason?

[outerspacefella]

If Korver's in uniform for the first regular season game, I think he should start. And if he start, Brewer should be the 3. I see Miles/Korver as SGs, and AK/Brewer as SFs, and I think CJ/AK and Korver/Brewer are the more solid pairings out of the foursome, while CJ/Brewer is probably the weaker.

Usually it's 3-4 months. Good luck with that, from a Clippers fan. CJ Miles looked poised to break out. He's a good scorer.

BTW this Wesley Matthews guy, why did he start? He did pretty well at Marquette. Thoughts on him?

Matthews started because Miles was hurt and Korver was hurt and Harpring was hurt. Also he sucks less then Dupree. Actually Matthews looks like a tough smart player who is a decent athlete. He only problem is he is a little undersized.
