Has there been any updates on Cole Anthony's injury?

[Howard Mass]

Let's Go Magic!

[RookieStar]

Has there been any updates on Cole Anthony's injury?

I thought we exepct him to.miss 8 games minimum? Its been what? 5 games?

[MaKiaVeLi7]

Has there been any updates on Cole Anthony's injury?

No updates that I'm aware of. Last I saw it was reported he will be out at least until All-Star game, maybe even later.

Gosh, what about the forum spirit???? The team is on a winning streak, again in the playoffs hunt...and there's the game thread and a single fellow poster asking for Cole Anthony...and me...

Sad to say it, but we as a fan base are just as a pathetic bunch of weird masochists as this cursed franchise. I feel bad for all magic fans, me included.

[penny_nz]

Thanks, was wondering if his status had changed when it got changed from a shoulder to rib injury, makes sense letting him rest through the all star break.

Wonder if Vuc saw the news about the All Star results before the game. Kind of want to see him get told after

[Last Guardian]

And back to reality....

[KillMonger]

played well enough to get vuc into the all-star game....now back to regularly scheduled programming

[Ducklett]

Every time I see Evan start to drive, I feel the need to evacuate my bowels.

[RookieStar]

Alright.. bank on track.. tank baby!

[Last Guardian]

Mykhaulik drive against Chief...easy block. Mykhaulik drive against Evan...easy layup.

[Mauro Pedrosa]

Whatever amount Aminu makes off of playing basketball is too much

There will be blood.

Hope you're right and 'There Will Be Blood' for all the "Inglorious Basterds" in our incompetent and lazy Front Office and their puppet masters in the Magic ownership.

Let me see if I can answer this question for you...the team's winning streak consists of beating three teams with a combined record of 38-53. When it comes to watching the young talent develop, only Okeke is seeing any significant minutes. We are playing against the Detroit Pistons, not really an exciting team to watch when most of the board is apathetic towards this roster to begin with (there will probably be more activity when we play the Nets on Thursday).

I am certainly not trying to speak for everyone but I think folks are just tired of seeing Hennigan's core being the focal point again this season. I could just be reading your post wrong but aren't you one of the posters who want to tank in the first place?

[penny_nz]

What goes through Aminus head when he tries to bring the ball up like that. That's not his game at all

[ChosenSavior]

Dwayne Casey made some nice adjustments in this game which Orlando did not appear to be ready for. We'll see if this holds up.

[fendilim]

how the hell is aminu being allowed to dribble?

[Showbiz Bear]

Trade Birch. Start Okeke over Aminu. And I'll be happy. Neither of those things will happen and we'll limp into the playoffs before getting knocked out in the 1st round. Again.
