Shoulder separation.

What is it with these Lakers and shoulder injuries? Geez. Perhaps this is where B. Scott begins to insert more and more youngsters and he goes with them the rest of the way and into next season.

Hope they re-sign him.

I've seen football teams with fewer shoulder injuries.

Looks like they are going to sign Buyucks to a 10 day as soon as they are re-granted hardship.

Yep, B. Scott and Mitch are assembling a pretty darn good and young team and I like that they are doing this largely under the radar.

That is a fact TJF12. I don't know if they just don't do upper body weightlifting or not because the Lakers do not have a strength and conditioning coach, but they appear to be weak in that area. One of short Busses' brilliant ideas of course.

Pretty sure Tim DeFrancesco is the strength and conditioning coach. He was hired before the 2011-2012 season and according to his Link'dIn profile, still is.

Thanks for the update TJF12. Then perhaps many of those reports stating otherwise were trolls full of fertilizer.

A lot of these players are seeing a lot more minutes than they ever have in their pro careers, especially as the body toll rises and the depth players are seeing the court. They may not be prepared for the work load, which puts them in compromising positions and exposes them to more injury risk?

Well, if memory serves, it was TLF who said it. So, I've always questioned the accuracy. Just never bothered to look it up until today.

This seems possible. Some of these guys were already seeing more minutes than they were used to and now, with the injuries, illnesses, etc. They are playing even more minutes. With Ellington out, for example, we now have a rotation of only 3 guards.

Grass-Fed Tim as they call him. He handles their nutrition as well. He's big on grass-fed beef. I remember reading a story about how he and Sacre bought a grass-fed cow and split up all the meat. Yes, the cow was already killed and butchered.
