Sixers lose Danny Green to muscle injury
La franquicia tendrá que hacer más pruebas al alero veterano para determinar el alcance de la lesión. Danny Green abandonó la victoria por 111-127 de los Philadelphia 76ers en casa de los Atlanta Hawks con molestias en la pantorrilla derecha. El veterano alero, con 12 años de experiencia en la liga y tres campeonatos en su haber, se retiró a los cuatro minutos de juego tras sufrir el tirón en la pierna. “Es una lesión en el gemelo. Y por mi título de doctor, te digo que no son lesiones fáciles”, valoró Doc Rivers tras el encuentro. Green presenció el encuentro desde el banquillo en la segunda mitad con una bota de protección en la pierna dañada. El tres veces campeón de la NBA promedia 4,5 puntos en la eliminatoria de segunda ronda, con un pobre 1 de 9 en triples. En el segundo partido, eso sí, repartió 8 asistencias, su máximo en unos playoffs. “El siguiente tío tiene que dar un paso al frente”, avisó Rivers. “No sé quién será, y no le descarto del todo, pero casi. No creo que pueda jugar el próximo partido”. Matisse Thybulle sustituyó a Green en el partido pero fue el turco Furkan Korkmaz quién tapó su hueco con un gran partido de 14 puntos y un +24 de valoración, su máxima anotación en unos playoffs

John Wall injury update: Wizards owner Ted Leonsis says guard 'probably won't play next season' due to torn Achilles
Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis said during a press conference on Monday that John Wall "probably won't play next season" as he continues to rehab from Achilles tendon surgery. Back in February, the Wizards announced that their point guard would be out of basketball for at least a full year after rupturing his Achilles while slipping and falling at his house -- worsening an initial injury he had suffered at the end of December. Wizards guard John Wall will undergo surgery to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon. The procedure, which has yet to be scheduled, will be performed by Dr. Robert Anderson in Green Bay, WI. Wall is expected to return to full basketball activity in approximately 12 months from the time of the surgery. Wall had developed an infection in the incision from initial surgery on Jan. 8 (a debridement and repair of a Haglund's deformity and a chronic Achilles tendon injury in his left heel that was also performed by Dr. Anderson) and he suffered the rupture after slipping and falling in his home. The rupture was diagnosed by Wizards Director of Medical Services and Orthopedist Dr. Wiemi Douoguih during a procedure to clean out the infection. Wall had been sidelined since Dec. 26 due to his Achilles injury. He initially underwent surgery on Jan. 8 for what the Wizards described as "debridement and repair of a Haglund's deformity and a chronic Achilles tendon injury in his left heel." The reason for the longer recovery timetable is due to this latest occurrence which saw Wall slip and fall at his home. This is not only devastating for the Wizards considering he's the face of their franchise -- but because next season is the first year of the four-year max contract extension he had previously signed worth $171 million. With this injury taking place, it's going to be near impossible to trade Wall now and in the future. Not only will this injury take more than a year away from Wall's career, he may not be the same type of player upon his return considering athletes coming back from Achilles injuries are never really the same again. The 28-year-old Wall averaged 20.7 points and 8.6 assists last season. He holds career averages of 19.0 points and 9.2 assists and is also a former All-NBA selection and former All-NBA Defensive second-team selection.
