Motor Keeps Going: The Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Thread III

[BigSlam]

Just logged on to see this

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (shoulder) was taken to the hospital to get X-rays.
Not good. The X-rays will be looking for any sort of severe dislocation of his shoulder or perhaps he hurt his collarbone after falling face first. This would be a brutal blow for MKG and the Hornets, who would be razor thin at the three. Marvin Williams and P.J. Hairston would get most of the run there with Marvin having value in deep leagues.

Not that thin?

Batum would start at SF (Lamb at SG). So we'd still have Marv and PJ backing up SF.

Not going to lie. Lamb has me intrigued, but not at the cost of freaking MKG of course.

Now watch Winslow light us up tomorrow night and look like a lock as a future HoF'er.

Told MKG is spending the night in Orlando, rather than flying to Miami. Might have more on this tonight. @hornets

Who we should have drafted.

Kaminsky played just a few but scored in transition, protected the paint, and stretched the floor. Winslow is the project not Kaminsky.

[JDR720]

we need to send MKG to the guys who made Wolverine get metal bones or whatever.

I like Frank. I like him a lot. He was a solid pick. I just think Winslow will end up being a better overall NBA player.

Good Lord. Get well soon, MKG. The Hornets badly need you.

The Canadian government's clandestine WeaponX project? You really want MKG traded to Toronto?

@HornetsPR
Injury Update: @hornets Michael Kidd-Gilchrist suffered a dislocated right shoulder in Sat's preseason game vs ORL.

Injury Update (cont.): @hornets MKG was taken to Florida South Hospital for x-rays & evaluation. X-rays taken were negative.

[amcoolio]

Thats not bad. 2-3 weeks I guess?

Just a freak accident. But it does make me worry about his durability based on the life of his contract.

Then again, Thomas Davis has been an absolute tank since all his early injuries.

People also ask
How long does it take to recover from a dislocated shoulder?
You'll need to wear the sling for a few weeks, but it takes about 12 to 16 weeks to completely recover from a dislocated shoulder. You can usually resume most activities within two weeks, but avoid heavy lifting and playing sports involving shoulder movements for six weeks to three months.

When Will My Dislocated or Separated Shoulder Feel Better?
How quickly you recover depends on how serious your shoulder injury is. Separated shoulders may heal over a period of 6 weeks. Dislocated shoulders may take longer -- more like 3 to 12 weeks. But these lengths of time are just approximations. Everyone heals at a different rate.
