Was still being evaluated as of an hour ago.

Just speculation on my part, but I worry that MKG has spent so much time working on his shooting that he hasn't put enough time into developing his body.

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.

WTF?!?!? Is MKG just the most brittle dude in the league?

Cody was out like 4-6 months after his shoulder injury. Which is worse, collarbone or dislocated shoulder?

We are cursed.

Are you **** kidding me?

MKG needs to start pumping some damn iron. His upper body is pathetically thin. No idea if that would have helped to actually have some or any type of muscle as opposed to just bone and skin but damn. This is ridiculous. Pisses me off.

I just saw Michael Kidd-Gilchrist being taken out of the locker room in a stretcher. Not good for Charlotte.

God damn

better to get used to playing without him now than 40 games into the season.

Why would he need a stretcher for a shoulder injury? Could it be a lot more? Collapsed lung? Spinal injury? See you in January MKG. Ridiculous. And now we know why MKG was so eager to sign his big deal now. Nobody is going to pay if he can only play half a season every year.

I don't want to get mad at the man for getting hurt, but this is getting ridiculous.

Must be a dislocated shoulder or broken collarbone? Either way why would he be stretchered out?

I'm refusing to get too upset about an injury at the beginning of October until I hear something definitive. At least this didn't happen at the beginning of November like it did last year.

honestly if you get a severe injury from that you are brittle bottom line.

Looks like he took a complete nose dive right on his sternum.

I honestly think we can be OK without him this year. But without him we are obviously not anywhere near as good as we can be. Thankfully as Yosemite said this happened at the beginning of October. First game isn't for a month.
