That would make sense. I’m sorry, but no team would let a player play with a broken foot. If hes playing tonight, his foot is not broken.

They’re saying that it’s actually a bone bruise – no fracture of any kind. So medically speaking (and this is just to my understnading, unlike seemingly 80% of the people who post here I am NOT a Doctor…) if he can play through the pain there isn’t any real increased risk of further injury.

This is a big step (pun most certainly intended) to endearing yourself to a fanbase that loves tough guys.

In the NBA this would be a 6 month injury.

Weird. Glad to see he’s playing though.

well thats good news i guess until he breaks his foot in half totally trying to be a hero. hope he is still effective and not a liability.
