The Player Appreciation Jinx Thread
Does anyone here notice that whenever we host a thread of some sort about a rotation player getting "appreciation", they're injured within the week? Take the Bynum Appreciation Thread for example. That thread picks up speed and then Bynum hurts himself against Memphis. Today I see an "Ariza Props" thread, and before the day is over we find out he's injured due to Lamar Odom's existence. We as Laker fans must take notice!

As if the Lakers needed this to happen.
Forward Trevor Ariza was diagnosed with a fractured bone in his right foot after hurting it today at practice. Ariza will see foot specialist Kenneth Jung on Monday, at which point a timetable for his return will be determined.
It was unclear exactly how Ariza injured the fourth metatarsal in his foot, but he apparently came down on someone's foot.
"He got tangled up [with a teammate]," Coach Phil Jackson said a few minutes after Ariza left practice for X-rays at Centinela Hospital Medical Center.
Ariza became a fixture on the Lakers' second unit after being acquired from Orlando in November. He was averaging 6.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 18 minutes a game.
Ariza, who also started three games, had been an active defender for the Lakers, who liked his length and speed.
The Lakers are without Andrew Bynum for at least seven more weeks and Chris Mihm for at least another week, although it will probably be longer than that until he returns.
where in this article did it say it was lamar?
