The injuries are already starting? SMH

the bad news starts.depth and shelden williams gets a chance.

He’s going to miss a significant period of time with this injury, and it may need surgery.

Glen Davis has suffered a right thumb injury and could be lost to the Celtics for a significant period of time.

He underwent X-rays today and will have to get further tests to determine the full extend of the dame. Surgery could be required.

According to sources, this was a non-basketball injury. It happened Sunday night when he got into an altercation with a friend, a former teammate, who was visiting from Louisiana.

Davis was reportedly defending himself.

Doc Rivers said after today that he was unaware of the circumstances, but sources said the club has been fully apprised of the situation.

As expected, the Celts are not pleased. Davis is said to be extremely upset, too.

Don’t these guys think? What’s the matter with them and foremost why would he be trying to defend himself from a friend????

There is more to this then what they are saying

(Except for that one time in the bar.)

Did Shaq visit? Did he finally get revenge in Davis for taking him down all those years ago?

Both injuries take about 6-8 weeks to heal, assuming they’re ‘normal’. That puts Baby back around Christmastime. Not terrible, but not good either. The thoughts of easing KG back into the flow of things get that much harder to do.

Opportunity knocks for Sheldon.

I hate to hear of a injury to anyone. But this could be a blessing in disguise. Baby needs a attitude adjustment. In a interview a couple days ago Davis said he would have rather been starting for another team even though that team won less.

If Sheldon Williams can step up, Davis will not be hear after next year. Sheldon already does what Davis can’t do and that’s rebound. Sheldon Williams seems to have a team mentality. Davis resist’s the idea of rebounding but Sheldon whole game is centered around rebounding.

Come on Glen! Are you serious? Don’t do stupid things…. fights with friends? what kind of friend would hit you like that? just stay out of trouble and be smarter about things

Something tells me he’ll be a life-long headache….color me none to concerned…Perk/KG/Sheed is the main group anyhow and Sheldon can pick-and-pop and rebound just fine…Davis has more polish, but was not slated to get huge run anyhow – we can survive and thrive just fine while waiting for his return…

Don’t need him early in the year – as long as he’s back and gets 2-3 months under his belt, the team will be fine in his absence…let’s hope he doesn’t add 30lbs while sitting out…

I’m sure most here know how I feel from this news.

Who takes his place and how many minutes they actually get will be interesting.

I predict that BBD will be of limited use for the whole year with this injury to his shooting hand. Not a career ending injury, but is a CLM.

taking place right before the regular season opener .

Could Baby have done it on purpose to provoke the C’s into trading him?

I hate to believe it, but hey stranger things have happened and it is a possibility.

Not terrible, nor terribly surprising. Baby’s gotta keep up his conditioning and he’ll be fine.

But I think we’re really lucky it’s Big Baby out for that length of time and not Rasheed, Marquis, or Eddie (or one of the starters, obviously).

Big Baby also happens to be the youngest of the reliable bench players so he’s likely to recover from this injury the fastest. If this were Sheed we’d have a lot more to worry about in terms of lingering issues.

Have him wear a splint and start shooting with his left hand… problem solved. When his right thumb heals, he can resume with his primary hand.

Scal out, TA out… now…. BBD out?

Trade—slash—getting the team used to not having them, without them even knowing?

I’m just saying. Sweeney got the flu right before he was cut.

I think Ainge payed off this friend of Davis.

I’m just sayin’.

BBD and his friend were playing “Four Rooms”.

No doubt this is fodder for the anti Davis people. I’ll wait for more details before making a judgment.

Derrick Rose supposedly stabbed himself in the arm, too.

BBD seemed like such a sensitive, heads up, conscientious kind of guy.

how weird.

Since it was not a basketball-related incident, who will pay for the medical? Getting in a fight with a former teammate who came to visit you?? That sounds weird.

Is going to surpise a lot of people. He is very capable of giving 5-10 mins., specifically on defense. This is his opportuity.
