Mar 25 After three days of tests, Lowry is progressing in his treatment from a bacterial infection on schedule but remains far from a return to workouts, much less games, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Lowry is scheduled to be checked again in eight- to-10 days, but is progressing well enough that there will not be a change in the treatment, as was possible when he was fighting infection.
Kevin Martin's right labral shoulder injury
After surgery, you will need to keep your shoulder in a sling for 3 to 4 weeks...Athletes can usually begin doing sport-specific exercises 6 weeks after surgery, although it will be 3 to 4 months before the shoulder is fully healed.
Lowry could be out for the season, and martin could be out till next preseason. It's clear this team is struggling to finish games w/o it's starting backcourt. Even though the refs screw us at the end of the games, we'd be finishing games with Lowry playing, considering how close the score is.
Best case scenario Lowry's back for the last 2 weeks (7 games). still enough games for this team to make a last minute playoff push, but till then we have to stay afloat, which wont be easy. outside of sacramento, all these games are gonna be tough. even the kings aren't a sure win, w/o the starting backcourt we can lose any game.
I looked up labral tears online and read that people were able to hold off any surgery, but it still affected them. If martin needs the surgery, then i dont want him back this season. He was playing with that all of march, so he wont be much better. Lee is doing a better job as the starting sg imo.
good news is that the west is stronger this year (stronger every year really). if the suns, jazz, twolves, and blazers stay relatively healthy, we should get a higher pick. jazz/twolves could get a better record, maybe suns. blazers prolly not.
get well soon Lowry.
