Harris Injury?
Seems like he's really missing a lot of games. What's his deal? Boozer disease? Or are we just holding him out because we suck anyway?
"Thibs called back and wanted more picks," said Jorge Sedano. "And Pat Riley, literally, I was told, called him a mother-bleeper and hung up the phone."

Re: Harris Injury?
I am guessing/hoping that it is the later. I think that Ty is just using this as an excuse to play the young guys.
Anybody know what is going on with Bell? He's been out for a while now, not that I am complaining. Maybe it is just an answer to some of our prayers.

He always misses 15-20 games a season.

Re: Harris Injury?
Bell did a radio interview this past week and said he has a foot injury which will only heal with rest. And given where the team is in the standings and the coaches giving the young players some burn it didn't make sense to rush back. So he will sit out the rest of the season (3 games). If it was earlier in the season and the team was in the playoff hunt he would play through it and heal in the offseason.
He said he is optimistic going into this offseason because his injury will not be a lingering one so he rests it for a period of time and then can get in the gym and work on his game--which he wasn't able to do last year like he usually does due to his wrist surgery. He especially wanted to work on his shooting as that was a big weakness this year. His body isn't breaking down--just some smaller injuries that won't have a long term impact.
Devin Harris has been dealing with a hamstring injury, which is worthy of caution. It was good to see him back on the floor though.
