Alex hasn't brain, low IQ basketball.
Update: Believe or not. Alex got injuried (calf strain, I guess) while training in San Antonio. He had a 10 days contract.
He´ll back to Brazil.
Damn...that is carma...
Can't have a 10-day contract during the offseason, but that injury does suck. I'm sure they diagnosed it across the street from the training facility.
^The guy in the brazilian ESPN told that his contract was until the September 14th. Thats why I supposed it was 10 days contract.
That just sounds like they were letting him use the facility then. There aren't any formal practices at this time.
How severe is his injury? Is there no chance that he'll be in a Spurs uni this season then?
I saw that too. It was on Brazil Sportscenter
I'm trying to find something on websites
Sounds like he was given a workout, then got injured either during it or using the practice facility. Not much else makes sense this time of year.
Probably his contract with the Courtyards by Marriott. He was booked through the 14th.
I just send a e-mail to ESPN Brazil and they said the only info they have so far is he got injuried in the first days of workouts.
They don''t know if he's back to Brazil. They say they may get some news by the end of the day
Lets hope. I'm downright curious.
UPDATE
Alex had a workout last monday. After the morning workout he sit with Pop who invated him to camp in october, but Alex had a hamstring injury and will be out for 2 weeks. He'll recovery here in Brazil.
His agent said if things go well he'll be ready for training camp but there aren't any guarantee now
Nova lesão coloca em risco futuro de Alex na NBA
Marta Teixeira
São Paulo (SP) - Mais uma vez, o ala/armador Alex Garcia enfrenta uma virada do destino em seus projetos de jogar na NBA. Pela terceira vez na carreira, o jogador foi dispensado por causa de uma lesão. Na última segunda-feira, em seu primeiro treino com o San Antonio Spurs, Alex deixou a quadra sentindo dores no músculo adutor e nem teve condições de participar do treinamento da e.
Segundo o agente do atleta, Marcelo Maffia, Alex sofreu uma lesão de grau 2 e precisará de duas semanas de repouso e fisioterapia antes de voltar às quadras. Alex fará seu tratamento no Brasil e chega ainda esta semana no país.
'Ele participou do treino da manhã, mas ficou sentindo a coxa. Depois, teve uma reunião com o técnico Gregg Popovich, que o convidou para o camp em outubro', lembra Maffia. Com a reviravolta no período da e, ele e seu cliente tentam manter a possibilidade de participar do treinamento. 'Estamos tentando lidar com a situação para ver se dá mesmo', completa o agente.
Esta é a segunda vez que o ala/armador treina com os Spurs. Na temporada de 2003/04, ele integrou a equipe, mas só participou de dois jogos. Uma lesão no pé esquerdo fez com que fosse dispensado. Na temporada seguinte, ele foi para o New Orleans Hornets mas uma nova contusão, desta vez no joelho esquerdo tirou o brasileiro do grupo.
O interesse dos Spurs pelo ala/armador ressurgiu após a participação do Brasil no Torneio Pré-olímpico das Américas, em Las Vegas, no início deste mês. A seleção não obteve a vaga olímpica, mas Alex foi procurado pelo técnico Popovich que lhe ofereceu outra chance no time. Inicialmente, ele participaria de uma semana de treinos, até dia 14.
Alex é o segundo jogador nacional a despertar o interesse dos atuais campeões da NBA. O ala/pivô Tiago Splitter foi escolhido pela franquia no último draft, mas disputa mais uma temporada pelo Tau Ceramica, equipe espanhola com a qual tem contrato, antes de se transferir para os Estados Unidos.

Hmm. Well, it could be worse. Hopefully he can be 100% at camp and he'll have a legitimate shot at making the roster.
This guy's too injury prone. I don't want him on the roster if he's going to be getting hurt constantly.
Dude, is pretty tenacious.
Aggressive towards the basket and plays the passing the lanes.
He's gutsy and will lay it out on the court.
I like his style.
Lol
He could be our version of Dallas' Devin Harris!
