    weird if you go to a real optometrist, not a chain, they test the pressure of your eye

    seems weird that they wouldn't have caught it the first time
    Yeah, that is what the Doc said.....Hey do you think I could get 20 mill?

    Spurs general manager R.C. Buford confirmed the team’s involvement in Parker’s return to San Antonio to have his eye examined. The team, he said, also will be “involved” in the prescription for his recovery from an injury sustained during an incident at a New York City night club on June 14.

    “Trust that we’re going to take advantage of the remedies that are available to us through the NBA’s agreement with FIBA to understand the severity of the injury and be involved in Tony’s prescription for recover from any injury,” Buford said.

    Does anybody know if this is a type of injury that could potentially affect Tony's future contracts? For example, Amare Stoudemire's contract in uninsured because of prior injuries and has made him almost untradeable. Only teams with deep pockets, like New York, might be willing to take the risk.

    You can almost sense Buford clenching his teeth holding back anger in that statement...

    You lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas. I'm just sayin'.

    The biggest part of growing up is learning the difference between 'can' and 'should'.

    Nope.
    The fight was during the night between June 13 and June 14. Parker flew back to France and felt pain in his eye during the flight. He went to the ER in France the morning of the 15th and had additional exams the afternoon of the 15th where the diagnostic was made. He had the surgery in the morning of the 17th.

    And for people ing about Parker hanging with the wrong people, it's not because you are in the same club as some s that you are hanging out with them.
    That is even worse. He flew to France without seeing a physician before he left. I thought he at least went to the er in New York before he left.

    Sure, he should have seen a physician while he was feeling fine...

    If I get glass anywhere near my eye and I am a professional athlete AND I am getting on a plane in a day to fly to another continent, I am seeing an ophthalmologist.

    Truth is, unlike everybody related to Spurs organization, you're perfect.

    He WAS in the er in NYC before he left. Remember how he was told that his retina was 'scratched' and theta he had to rest for a full week before he went anywhere? He did that. He said he never left his hotel room for a week.

    Does anyone imagine that he was self-diagnosing and self-prescribing? No, he did what he was told to do and after that he went to Paris and immediately saw a physician there who apparently disagreed with the NY docs.

    Please, can we stop blaming the victim for a minute?

    The piece of glass is probably so small you could not see it with the naked eye. I do wonder how if he went into the emergency room they could not tell that it was more then a scratch?

    I was surprised as well. But it happened.

    It is not as unusual as some people think. I almost died (literally) because a doc didn't turn a laser off before he started taking it out of my gut. A hospital couldn't figure out what was wrong with me for three days until sepsis had set in.

    Docs make mistakes. some of us are lucky enough to survive them.

    Tony is lucky enough that it was found by another set of docs.

    Was there ever a better example of hanging with the wrong gang?

    No, he couldn't just play WOW with Timmy, he had to go and join wannabe synth-pop singing got dancers pretending to be rappers.
    Exactly my opinion. Sad that it will take incidents like this to keep Parker away from that type of scene. Who knows maybe this doesn't even teach him a lesson.

    I will trust what Bruno translated, and he said Tony did not see a doctor until he got to France. The week in the hotel appears to have been in Paris. The initial incident was 10 days ago, and Tony left within a day or two and has spent the last week in France.

    Tony, comment va ton œil une semaine après ton retour en France ? Il s’emblerait qu’il y ait quelques complications…
    C’est vrai, ça ne se passe pas comme je l’avais imaginé. Lorsque j’ai donné ma conférence de presse vendredi dernier après avoir effectué un passage aux urgences à la descente de l’avion, je ne pensais pas que ça allait être aussi grave. J’ai effectué des examens supplémentaires le vendredi après-midi et ils ont trouvé un bout de verre qui avait pénétré à 99% l’œil gauche. Je peux le dire aujourd’hui, j’ai failli perdre mon œil. J’ai donc été opéré le dimanche matin sous anesthésie générale. C’est pour ça que je suis resté sur Paris au lieu de rejoindre l’équipe de France à Pau le 20 juin comme je l’avais annoncé

    But he went to the ER in NY, was told he had a scratched retina, and that he should take it easy for a week. He was told that by docs. He was told something different by the docs in Paris. Bruno did not say that tony did not see a doctor UNTIL he got to France. He said he saw a doctor WHEN he got to france. That does not preclude a trip to the ER in NY.

    You are still blaming the victim.

    Aside from Tony's alleged lawsuit against the club location, where he was injured. I wonder if the Drake and Chris Brown camps could potentially be liable?

    Hope he gets well soon

    Not bad if he miss the Olympics because Spurs didn't allow him to play after this. . It will be great the rest in the summer.
