Bargnani has ligament tear in right elbow and strained wrist

if you think Bargniani's injury is a conspiracy then the problem with this franchise isn't ownership or management. it's the fans.

This will lower whatever trade value he had imo

Most likely he is injured, but probably not that serious. We may want to keep him healthy and protect his trade value. Just like Peja, we may sit him out for more time, while he will do some shooting drills to maintain his shooting form. I hope he watches some videos on how other teams play, no matter he is a Raptors or not. Wish him good luck, since it is his career.

Yea. His post really made sense and the last part was funny.

Anyhow, yea the initial injury looks legit. I'm just really wondering about him being out indefinitely though. X-rays were negative.

Normally, they'd list it "day to day- will evaluate tomorrow". But they flat out come out with, "out indefinitely".

I'll take what I can get.
I'd prefer to have Bargnani traded, but out indefinitely works for me too.

So why don't you go and fall akwardly and land directly on your elbow, and let me know how it feels.

Wouldn't be surprised if you died from a loss of blood and intolerance of pain considering you are a spineless skeleton.

Bryan, relax. I know these last few months have been stressful on you, but seriously dude...

X-rays can only tell you if something was broken, maybe they took him in for an MRI or something when they flew in.

is it his shooting elbow?

James_Raptors · Post #51 » by **James_Raptors** » Wed Dec 12, 2012 5:44 pm

I think a possible scenario is that Bargnani sustained a day-to-day injury. Bryan is trying to trade him (or maybe a deal has been agreed on principle and will happen over the weekend/or Monday) and he doesn't want to risk Andrea getting a long term serious injury. Remember , it was just last season that Bargnani was out for an extended period of time.

I think the injury is legit. He fell pretty hard and smacked his shooting elbow on the court.

Teams would still be interested (assuming there are teams interested) as they would work him out before the trade was finalized, you gotta pass a physical when you get traded.

its probably best for him too... its clear playing him through the struggles wont work, just have him sit, let the media/fan criticism calm down and bring him back in a couple of weeks... if he isn't trader soon

Do the Raptors practice black magic? How can one explain how the two players called out in the meeting are now out "indefinitely".

Reignman · Post #55 » by **Reignman** » Wed Dec 12, 2012 5:55 pm

Legit injury but "good" timing. The fans would've spewed hot venom tonight if he was playing.

Regardless of what happens with Bargs it is now time for Ed Davis to seize this opportunity. You've been beasting off the bench now lets see you do it against better competition.

Awesome. Looking forward down the road when colangelo blames this entire season and bargnanis failures on this injury :lol:

Anyone know how Lowry hurt his tricep?

We just have to hope him and Jose dont get injured before the trade deadline.
