tks
that explain why he is so timid going to the basket ;(

He has had a noticeable limp for sone time now. I am wondering if he is hurt worse than they are letting on.

HCRE said a bruised knee that stiffens when he's inactive. So halftime and time sitting on the bench makes it difficult. That makes its even more inportant that he doesn't get saddled with early fouls at the beginning of each half and his return after that point is problematic. Perhaps, at least for home games, they could have a stationary bike that he could ride while out of the game - we've done it before. Hopefuly, it gets better as the season foes along...

It's vital to the season

Maybe Lee should sit for 2 weeks instead of playing on it ?

If the doc said it would take two weeks and I could be at 100%, absolutely.

Lee has NBA dreams. Playing while limited may keep his stats at a level where he doesn't get a shot.

If he can heal that quickly he absolutely should. We would get some young guys valuable minutes. If we had any outside shot of an at large, i would keep playing him. But since that ship sailed with Richmond, if he can heal, let him rest.

I doubt him playing on a bruise is going to make things worse. There is no way they would make him play if it was going to cause permanent damage and affect his career overseas.
