Ian Mahinmi Injured Again?!

[ceperez]

Just saw the box score of the France - Germany match in 2009 Eurobasketball.

http://www.eurobasket2009.org/en/cid...8.teamID_.html

Mahinmi plays a grand total of 4 minutes and does absolutely nothing.

Is the guy injured?

There is a thread about French NT where you can find news about... French NT.

So what do we have here? Our two legitimate centers (Mahinmi and Ratliff) are made of glass?!!

Now you can start a thread telling us how Haislip is the answer to this problem.

I thought Troy Murphy is going to solve our Center issues.

No no that was DeSagana Diop, wasn't it?

[hater]

if he is reallly badly injured he is a soft pussy and needs to stay in France

[bigfan]

I agree, if Mahinmi is injured again its time we bite the bullet, admit we ed up on the pick and can his ass.

I read that it's a hamstring strain that happened after he got a rebound. At least it wasn't an ankle, or I'd be calling him Mr. Glass as well. I don't think it's serious, but that's just speculation on my part.

[Mel_13]

If Ian was injured on this play it is not because he is soft. I saw the play. He was leaping high for an offensive rebound and was undercut at the top of his leap and dropped straight down without a chance to really brace himself. It looked like a wide receiver going high for a reception and having his legs cut out from under him by a DB. It will really suck if he is not ready to go for camp, but it will not be proof that he is soft.

yes it is. His body is soft if if can't take some abuse. how many NBA minutes has dude played since he was drafted????

Now I will give him benefit of the doubt for now, but if turns out he is gonna miss some or all of the pre-season, he is truly and officially soft.

OK, that's that.

Nope, he's our SF backup! ;-)

See, all this time I thought you were serious about that. Now I see it was all a joke.

Dude! We aren't even in the preseason yet!

All talk here is all speculation!

Some informed speculation, some wild speculation...

Cut him>>>hes a bust!!!!!!!!

[ducks]

why cut him
he pulled a groin
most players do that once in their career

[completely deck]

He hasn't even played in the NBA yet...

[Dex]

He hasn't even played in the NBA yet...

Because he can't even stay healthy enough to see an NBA court.

If the guy can't survive the rigors of Summer League, D-League, and International Play, he's not going to fare BETTER against stronger, tougher NBA defense. He's had his chances thus far, but has always been too injured to take advantage of them.

For the sake of the team, I'm pulling for him as much as anybody, but I still don't think this bodes well. It's not like this is the first time we've seen this...or the second...or the third.

We’ve spoken with Bouna Ndiaye, Ian Mahinmi’s agent, and can confirm that Mahinmi strained his hamstring during last night’s game against Germany. Mahinmi has undergone an MRI and both Les Bleus and the Spurs are awaiting the results. According to Ndiaye, Mahinmi’s injury is “nothing major,” and, although he will not play this evening against Latvia, hopefully he should be able to play again in a couple of days.

Why are people calling him soft for getting injured? This makes no sense. Also, a basketball game is a basketball game. There's always a chance of getting injured, no matter what level of play the compe ion is, so don't say he can't handle the dangers of an NBA game based on that.
