Not a good sign. Hope we have the money to make a mid season splash!

Calves are so hot right now.

Old man injury... knew they weren't signing the 27 year old version. This is not good news.

Your right Kobe24,its the injury you get when your body is starting to falter. They will have to manage his workload. Not a good injury at the best of times.

Only aware of it cos of the hard times watching Brett Maher my favourite player slow down year after year. I really didn't like this signing before the injury, now you have to wonder what they were thinking. He looks overweight and now a soft tissue injury after minimal playing time... this is a business the right decision need to be made from the get go to compete for the 4.

#602 to miss the Blitz with a brain injury.

If guys like Hakim Warrick are still being signed, unless they are completely strapped for cash, they can't use the excuse no one better was available etc Joey can try and sugar coat it all he wants as far as its not a major injury but people aren't stupid. Calves are annoying injuries, that can heal but usually keep occurring. Next month or so will be interesting at the 36ers....

Cut Ebi & bring back Diamon Simpson.

They won't cut him because he's Joeys boy and the new owners are tightasses

Gotta love Sixers fans - always looking on the bright side.

they haven't had a sunny day in while snooch, do you blame them?

Snooch, you sign an outta shape old import who is brought here to be a stud, he immediately has calf-soft tissue injuries and the fan base is meant to be all good with it and just go with the flow... come on now, its a ruthless industry. Aren't all contracts not guaranteed to be paid out until after the Blitz or something... just incase some at the club is being smart enough to be scouting incase this injury becomes a main stay thing.

Sixers signed Ere to be an elite scorer as well as a good defender. So far in limited minutes he has shown he will deliver that.

If he has a serious injury I think they will replace him but I think it is just precautionary.

Lets just see how he goes when the season starts.

Kobe24, the season hasn't even started. Hell, they haven't even played the pre-season tournament yet. No need to be ruthless at this stage. Injuries happen. I'm part of the fanbase and I'm opting to give Joey the benefit of the doubt at this stage - he's got the credits in the bank.

And I disagree Ere was signed to be a "stud". I reckon he was signed to be the ultimate complementary player on a well-balanced team. A guy who can score and stretch defences and a guy who knows how to win.

Just give it some time before calling for imports to be sacked and replaced because one gets a minor calf injury in the pre-season.

See how it plays out, I'm all ok with not sacking him etc and getting behind him as an import, but I just have my doubts he will produce. Someone else started the sacking talk, but it got me thinking. End of the day no way under just about any circumstances would he actually be sacked, not this early, not being as tight as he is with Joey. I just dont rate the signing based on age as injuries are more likely along these lines.... and guess whats already popped up. I can't imagine a team in which Ebe would ever be cool with not being the go to guy, not sure he wouldve been the best complementary option out there either... Either way this team will be going as far as DJ and Gibbo can take them imo.

Either way this team will be going as far as DJ and Gibbo can take them imo.

I agree - but with a guy like Ere, he's a clutch player in clutch situations who is going help allow guys like DJ and Gibbo flourish imo.

He might be getting on, but to my knowledge he hasn't necessarily been injury prone and he seems to me to be, at this stage of his career, a guy who will do what it takes to help his team win.

Mahersy wasn't injury prone either until the calves... but look like I said before like it or hate it, he aint being cut no time soon. So may as well hope for the best and see if he can compliment the stars and get some results.

Ebi will be fine. I think this is more a case of Joey not showing all of his cards before the season...injury is probably more a smoke screen and Ebi would likely play if it were regular season.

Ebi will be one of the most value for money imports in the league.

Credit to the Sixers organisation for finding such great value talent. Jamar last year, Ebi this year.

Ok cool, you've sold me on it with all the reason why you mentioned Marcus Camby haha

True that...

Ebi, Gibbo, Goulding and Joey to head up the Bullets- that would be GREAT! And not totally out of the question.
