Thanks.

Manu, there is always the pain threshold element. He may not be able to train all week, due to the shoulder for example which could effect match fitness. Besides the obvious, just like every sports team world wide, they will keep him 'doubtful' until they absolutely have to declare his fitness, cat and mouse games.

I had no structural damage but couldn't lift both my shoulders for a week once after and incident. I could just barely hold my arms up to the bottom of the steering wheel to drive.

hahaha, no, not physically possible

Probably a ploy like Boone's injury was and is now ;)

Childress would have broken his back if he had a spine. I heard that somewhere recently :)

Maybe he should stop fouling then?

Sixers fans complaining about unfair fouls? Ok then.

Childress is out and about with his arm in a sling and all smiles. He'll have ongoing assessments during the week. Sit tight everyone. The Sixers will be disappointed but happy he has no structural issues, People and their health comes first above all else and the team will deal with it and accept it is what it is. There is always Cortisone if they think they can’t handle the game without him. It is what it is.

Cancel that. Fractured Scapula on second CT scan. Out for rest of series. Time for the rest of the team to take more minutes and share his workload between them. They can do it. Challenge accepted.

Soft. Often, more times than not, this fires up a team and they overcome the challenge.

Why would he be "all smiles"?? I certainly wouldn't be if I were him. I love how he feels the need to blame Barlow as well, as if he wasn't the one who was trying to use his body to draw contact in the first place. I love Childress as a player but he is blatantly one eyed when it comes to calls against him... or no calls even.

LIke almost all basketball players at every level.

Whether it was a foul or not, whistled or not whistled, he would still be injured. Such a stupid game the blame game. Barlow played defence in the spirit of the game, move on.

So do you think Chilldress has to mope around now ? Really what a ridiculous thing to say. He was enjoying meeting people and making the best of it. Shows his character that he can enjoy a moment despite his disappointment and pain. And at that stage he did not have the 2nd scan that found the fractured scapula which is an unusual and unexpected injury hence not finding it earlier on the first scan. Pain can be referred so often not related to the injury site which makes diagnosis difficult in some cases and pretty normal across the world to do follow up scans as swelling reduces and more issues or improvement come to light.

The Addy quote.

"He suffered the injury after running into Melbourne's David Barlow on a drive.
"I’m not sure if it happened on the fall or on the contact, it was incredible that I didn’t get a foul called, it was a lot of contact and created the injury," Childress said.
“It’s unfortunate timing, I know that the game was pretty physical and Barlow had made some questionable plays prior to that."

Childress calling someone else out for questionable plays is all of the LOLs!!

Dont panic, I dont like ADL hate the arrogance of Sobey/Creek/Shorter etc.

Childress going down will be a blessing..
Dont worry I rate Childress as there most important player.

I been around along time, every player will now step up knowing they need to.

ADL win game 3.

revisit this Friday night.

It was in the video clip of him interviewed at training, not sure which website it was from.
Whether or not he was trying to add weight to the need for a foul I'm not sure, but how it was edited/cut and what he said sounded like he was calling out Barlow on the drive.
Whether that was correct or not I don't know, but that's how it came across to me.

NBL is a dirty league. No respect for players who are in the air. It's dangerous. Ask Brad Hill.

Wasn't that over ten years ago??
