Just sit him down

I like Scal, and he’s been great this year. However, the team needs to sit him out the rest of the year, even if it leaves us short-handed. He’s had, what, three concussions now? Or at least two concussions, and another head / neck injury with “concussion-like symptoms”?

Scal is a gamer, but his health is more important than his contribution.

Scal's medical issue?

I can see even through the tv (and from one time about 20ft away on the court) that he needs faster twitch muscle fiber.

Oh, you mean with his head injury. nvm.

Don't Think This Is Funny

If anyone were to joke about this it would probably be Scals in an interview with Dickerson.

i'm not a doctor

but I think the issue he’s having is called getting KO’d 3 times in 2 weeks.

God bless and good night!

It's actually 3 times in 4 weeks.

But, yes, that is the issue.

Scalabrine

Get well quick Scal, we need you out there with these new guys to stabilize the bench.

I have come to appreciate and value Scal more this year. I know it is not politically correct, but IMO this team plays a lot better with Scal in the rotation. He is that guy doing all the little things this year from the bench.

We will really miss Scal if he is not better in time for the playoffs this season.
