Title: Nike Global Challenge - Duane Wilson
Post by: HelixAir6 on July 13, 2012, 03:26:12 PM
Not trying to cause any panic (although that is bound to happen on this board), but I checked the box score and saw that DW, who is captain of the USA-Midwest team and started the game, only played 6 minutes...  Thought I would see something about it on twitter, but didn't come up with anything.  I'm assuming its an injury, has anyone heard anything?

I was there... He did start, but seemed gimpy from the tip.  I never saw him play before, and wasn't sure if it was his natural running/walking style or what.  He threw up a 3 that he missed, and if he was in for 6 minutes they were quick.  No real moment of injury and ran off the same way he'd been playing.

After coming out, he was in the corner and on the end of the bench stretching the right leg (looking like knee) but never came back in.  He shot around before the start of the 2nd half and wasn't icing or anything, so assuming not too severe.

Hope he didn't pull his groin.

Could have been quad. He was mostly stretching by standing holding his foot behind him.

Looks like he played in game #2... Almost identical stat line...

I'll finish off this monologue...  His Twitter update from Monday confirms it was indeed a knee issue, but not serious...

"My knee is almost back to 100%"
