Melvin Sanders Injures MCL in Practice

[Kori Ellis]

The San Antonio Spurs today announced that guard/forward Melvin Sanders suffered a sprained right MCL at practice on 4/27.

Sanders, who is not on the Spurs 13-man playoff roster, is expected to miss two-to-four weeks.

The 6-5, 210-pound Sanders appeared in 16 games in three stints with the Spurs in 2005-06. He averaged 2.6 points and 1.4 rebounds in 7.1 minutes.

Does he get to travel with the team?

If anybody ever questioned the existence of die-hard fans for multiple teams... I would point them over to you... :spin

[foodie2]

Poor Melvin, and poor me. It's not nice to give an old lady a heart attack.

[Kori Ellis]

Okay, that was fun. Now I'll change the title.

Get well soon, Melvin.

[FreshPrince22]

It's over. Tank the season and try to get a good draft pick.

ohh wait...

[101A]

Loggin in late...what was the original title?

[angel_luv]

Something like, " Injury in Spurs practice today."

But what Kori meant was; " Die Suckers Die!" :lol

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Geez, the league changes the rules so that players don't have to make up injuries to be off the active roster and Melvin goes out and gets a real injury. I have to question his basketball IQ.

Well at least my day stopped being boring. :)

[timvp]

Melvin Sanders needs to go watch Rookie of the Year and pray the same thing happens to him.

[Leetonidas]

Noooo...what did it say?

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Melvin Sanders needs to go watch Rookie of the Year and pray the same thing happens to him.

That will only get him so far. I don't think that anyone on the Spurs squad can be the mentor that Gary Busey is.

[ploto]

All joking aside, Melvin is important for practice- when you don't want to overuse Manu, and the three old guys- Bruce, Michael, and Brent! That's the whole reason he is around.
