This deserves it's own thread and needs a proper translation:
Parker had eye surgery and his eye condition is much worse than originally thought, he says he could have lost his eye.. He has to return to USA on July 5th at the demand of the Spurs and then will know his status for the Olympics..

"I almost lost my eye"
24/06/2012
Tony, how's your eye a week after your return to France? It emblerait there are some complications ...
It's true, it does not happen as I had imagined. When I gave my press conference last Friday after making a passage through the emergency department off the plane, I do not think it would be so serious. I conducted additional tests on Friday afternoon and found a piece of glass that had penetrated 99% left eye. I can say today, I almost lost my eye. So I had surgery on Sunday morning under general anesthesia. That's why I stayed in Paris instead of joining the team of France in Pau on June 20 as I had announced.
A package for the London Olympics is it possible?
At the request of the Spurs, I return to the United States on July 5. I do not have the right to travel before that date on a long haul. I see a specialist in New York with the hope of obtaining the agreement of competing in the Olympics. The Spurs are very worried. Based on the results, one can imagine that any one package. The decision is no longer mine. It is in the hands of the physician and San Antonio.
You do not feel like a bad movie?
I hallucinate. I just spent eight days trapped in my hotel. I was not allowed out to prevent infection. I was so afraid that I have not left my room. I asked myself many questions. I can not believe that happened to me a month before the Games when it's been two years since I had nothing with the Spurs or the France team. Every two hours, I have five different products to put me in the eye. In any case I thank Professor who followed me for saving my eye.
What feeling predominates when you announced the transaction?
Fear sets. It is so fragile an eye ... I hallucinating at the time, I could not believe it. But that's life, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I have not had any luck but in my misfortune, I'm doing fine. It could have been worse. Following my career is not questioned. I just have to wait until the lesion resolves.
Join thou still the France team today?
I arrive tonight in Pau. Even though I have no right to train, I want to be with the group. No pun intended, it is important to me to spend time with the guys. It was not until July 5 and the green light from the American doctor to find the flooring. So at best, I will attack my return to France on July 7. This means I have to forfeit the first four games (June 27 at Pau against Italy, June 28 Boulazac against Italy, June 29 in Toulouse against the Ivory Coast and July 7 Orleans against England). It then let me just three weeks of preparation until the first match on July 29 against the United States. And to avoid any new problems, I see on the floors with protective goggles.
Have you filed a complaint against the nightclub in New York as was announced?
Yes, it's true. I have no right to talk since proceedings are pending. It is now in the hands of my lawyer.
