Injuries Everywhere
I need somewhere to vent. Somewhere to let out my frustration. Because all of this is getting a little out of hand and I don't think you quite understand exactly how out of hand it is. Ready for the ride of a lifetime? Strap yourself down, because this is out of control.
Here is a list of my Yahoo! fantasy basketball team and their current/recent health status...
Bobby Jackson - Recently came back from a 7 game injury
Kareem Rush - OUT last 5, and 9 of last 12 games
Bobby Simmons - Healthy
Richard Jefferson - Back spasms - OUT for who knows how long
Jermaine O'Neal - Missed 3 games due to pneumonia, now has a sprained ankle - OUT
Drew Gooden - OUT - Strained adductor in right thigh
Marcus Camby - Surgery on right pinky finger - OUT last 9, and 12 of last 16 games
Chris Mihm - Played every game this year
Manu Ginobili - Came back two weeks ago after missing 8 games
Delonte West - Healthy as a horse
Mike James - OUT last game, who knows why
Peja Stojakovic - Bulging disc in back - OUT for a while
Steve Nash - Healthy and producing
For those of you who don't know much about fantasy basketball, or basketball in general, you need to realize that my team is actually not too shabby...when healthy. But for some reason, my team has been hit with the injury bug this year and there doesn't seem to be any sign of improvement in the near future. I've never seen anything like this. But somehow I've managed to stay in the playoff picture, sitting in 7th place out of 12, with only a couple guys playing consistent minutes. It's still early, though, and if I can get some guys healthy, I'll be ready for the playoffs. I just hope I don't have to face Mike in the second round.
